[QUOTE="Archived-1, post: 924475, member: 254181"] Ok a quick read up and found this. The controller can control polarization via a polarotor type interface. In addition, an AUTO-POL feature allows the polarization to be controlled via a digital input or contact closure supplied by a receiver to the antenna controller. The controller also has an internal expansion port that can accept optional daughter boards. Two daughter boards are available which can provide polarization control, designated RC2KPOL and RC2KHPP. The RC2KPOL is designed for use with the Seavey model ESR-124D motorized feed with potentiometer feedback. The Seavey feed requires 24 volts at 500 milliamps. The RC2KHPP option is designed for motorized feeds with potentiometer feedback which require 5 to 40 volts DC at currents up to 3 amps. Version 1.x0 of the RC2000A software supports the RC2KPOL option. Version 1.x1 of the RC2000A software supports the RC2KHPP option. The RC2KPOL and the RC2KHPP options are supported in only the RC2000A and RC2000C series. Contact the factory for versions of the RC2000C software that supports the RC2KHPP. 3. Position sensing feedback can be supplied by any pulse-based sensor, reed switch, Hall effect, or electro-optical. There is no need for special sensors or actuators. The RC2000 antenna controllers keep track of both rising and falling pulse edges from the pulse sensor for increased accuracy. 4. In each of the RC2000 controllers, the non-volatile memory can hold position and polarization data for numerous satellites. The RC2000A can accommodate 50 geostationary satellites. The RC2000B can accommodate 50 satellites total…5 of which may be in an inclined orbit. The RC2000C can hold data for 35 satellites total…4 of which may be in an inclined orbit [/QUOTE]
