Equipment leveling
Instrument required: high-precision digital display level instrument
Leveling steps:
1) The equipment is in the power-off condition.
2) Take the tripod as an example. Place the leveling tool on the turntable, parallel to
the two branch(leg) points of the tripod, observe the level reading, rotate the
corresponding height adjustment component of the tripod, and make sure the
leveling inclination number within 0.05°;
3) Turn the level tool for 90°, follow the step 2 again and observe the level meter
reading, rotate the corresponding height adjustment component of the tripod, and
make sure the leveling inclination number within 0.05°;
Repeat the above steps until the leveling inclination is less than 0.05°on the
turntable.

Equipment and software operation process
1. Complete all the operations in chapter 1-2, the equipment has been installed, the software has been
installed, and the power supply is normal;
2. Fill in the IP address of the control computer correctly;
3. Open the upper computer software and check whether the device IP is correct. If the light in the upper
right corner of the main interface is green, indicating that the device is connected normally;
4. North finding (for the first time operation after the installation of the new position, it is recommended that
the north finding process be 2-3 times are more accurate), and remove the Beidou antenna after the
completion of the North finding process;
5. Select the working mode-transmit and receive both, and click the work;
6. Select the target to verify whether the equipment can accurately identify and track the target. When the
suspected target trace appears on the map, select the track, compare and verify the height, distance, rate,
identification type and other information with the remote control interface information of the target;

31.

Establishment of the communication
The setting steps of the IP for the computer software are as follow:
1) Right-click on the network logo in the status bar in the lower right corner of the interface, and click " Network and
Internet Settings";
2) Click "Change Adapter Options" in the pop-up "Settings" window;
3) In the pop-up "Network Port Connection" window, select the network port connected to the device (generally Ethernet
port), right-click, and select "Properties" in the pop-up menu;

32.

Establishment of the communication
4) Double-click IPv4 in the pop-up Properties window;
5) Choose to manually change the network port IP.

33.

Communication between the upper computer
software and the equipment
• As shown in the figure, you can click "Settings / Software Settings" of the computer software on the device, and then
set the destination IP address and port of the command message in the "Software Settings / Communication" box.
• The "IP and port settings with controller" is the port of the receiving message of the upper computer software; the
"Commnucate settings with FPGA" in the "Send command message" are used to fill in the destination IP address and
port of the device terminal. After setting up, return to the main interface to see if the status light in the upper right
corner is green. Green represents the normal connection of the device.

34.

High-precision calibration of North finding
Matching Beidou rod (boxed with the antenna)
North finding calibration steps:
1) at the interface of the Beidou pole number are corresponding to the number on both sides of the
antenna, and the two Beidou poles are installed on both sides of the antenna. At this time, the vertical line
between the two antennas is the pointing of the antenna, and the Beidou antenna on the Beidou pole
should be vertically up;

35.

High-precision calibration of North Finding
2) Click the "Self Correct to North" in the upper computer software "tools", open the automatic
calibration window, and click the "start correcting" button. After the progress bar is full, click the
"stop correction" button. The corrected orientation offset angle will automatically fill in the
"Reference point to the offset Angle of due north" in the "Position and attitude" in the "System
Settings" window.

Run the equipment
As shown, you can click the number 1 box of the computer software on the device,
In Mission Mode, you can choose 10km or 20km,
Antenna Mode Select Transmit and receive,
Click the Run button to see if the device is working properly.

37.

Capture target
• As shown in the figure, click the trace on the interface to view the target trace information in
the pop-up information box, and mainly judge the target through the information such as
height, distance, rate, and identification type.

Equipment maintenance
and maintenance method

39.

Maintenance project instructions
• The appearance maintenance
• Fan and air duct maintenance
• Waterproof air transmission valve
maintenance
• Turntable maintenance.

40.

Appearance maintenance
● Appearance maintenance is mainly based on the appearance of the equipment, and the
contents of appearance maintenance are as follows:
1) Clean dust and stains on the equipment surface
● The surface conditions of the turntable, such as dust and stains need to be cleaned. Please
use clean tower for cleaning, it is strictly prohibited to use alcohol or substances containing
corrosive materials to clean.
2) Inspection of the antenna cover
● The cover is a composite material with wave transmission function, and its mechanical strength
is weaker than metal, so it is necessary to regularl y check whether the cover has cracks or
damage. Any exception requires the repair or replacement of the cover/radome.
3) Inspection of equipment cables and aviation plugs
● Check the cables and plugs of the antenna and turntable, check any cracks and damaged
insulation materials , loosening and rust of the external cables and the air plug; recommend
appearance maintenance cycle once a month.

41.

Maintenance of the fan and the air duct
● This antenna adopts air cooling, with two independent air duct and four independent
fan modules, two air in fan modules and two air out fan modules.
● The air duct is separated from the interior of the antenna, that is, the external water
and air cannot enter the antenna through the air duct. Check the fan module and air
duct regularly for the dust. You can use a high pressure air gun to blow away dust, or
you can also use clean water for cleaning.
● The maintenance cycle of the fan and air duct is recommended once a month.

42.

Maintenance of the waterproof air transmission valve
● The waterproof transmission valve is located at the bottom of the antenna. In order to
prevent the waterproof transmission valve from being blocked by dust, the waterproof
transmission valve needs to be checked and cleaned. You can use clean water to keep
it clean.The maintenance cycle of the waterproof vent valve is recommended once a
month.
Tu r n t a b l e m a i n t e n a n c e
● Whether there are dust blockage at the gap of the rotating plate of the turntable. If
there is sand dust blockage, it needs to be cleaned in time to avoid abnormal rotation
of the turntable.At sand dust or harsh environment, it is recommended to check it
weekly.
Tr i p o d m a i n t e n a n c e
● Check the screws for loosening regularly.

43.

Fan component repair
The fan assembly is divided into the air inlet fan assembly (printed w ith the w ord "INLET") and the out let air fan
assembly (printed with the word "OUTLET").

1) Use 3mm allen key to screw 4 pieces M5x18 Socket Countersunk Head Captive Screw to
separate from the antenna, and screw 4 pieces M5x18 captive socket head screws to separate
from the antenna;
2) Complete the removal of the air mask;
3) Use 4 pieces M5x18 captive socket head screws to separate from the antenna;
4) Hold a loose M5x18 screw to unscrew it out, and separate the air fan from the antenna;
5) Complete the disassembly of the outlet air fan;
6) Remove the disassembled outlet air fan for subsequent repair or replace the fan directly.
