Configure Radiation Hazard/Blockage Zones
It is important to setup the radiation hazard or blockage zones for
Intellian VSAT TX/RX communication systems. (See the “Block Zone
Setting” section of this manual). The ACU can be programmed with
relative azimuth and elevation sectors to create up to five zones where
transmit power would endanger personnel who are frequently in that
area or blockage exists. Several things happen when the antenna is
within one of these zones.
1. “BLOCK” will be displayed on the ACU screen.
2. Tracking continues as long as the signal level is greater than the
predefined threshold value. When the signal level drops below
the threshold value the antenna will wait “Search Wait Time”
parameter amount of time and re-target the satellite you
targeted last. The antenna will continue to re-target the satellite
until the satellite is re-acquired and tracking can be resumed.
3. A transmit inhibit output from the ACU will disable/mute the
modem transmit
