Model 3000 / 3000M
The Model 3000 System delivers a robust platform for stationary and mobile autotracking antennas. The size of this mount makes for easy transportation on a trailer. Many of these systems have been deployed in remote locations.
This full-sky antenna system supports an 8-foot (2.44 meter) to a 12-foot (3.66 meter) reflector. The 8-foot reflector is offered in both a single-piece and multisection configuration. The Model 3000 System moves from -5° to 185° in Elevation and is offered in both continuous and cable-wrap configurations in the Azimuth Axis.
Our standard Model 3000 System comes with an autotracking feed that receives in the L- and S-Bands. This system can be configured to handle L-, S-, and C-Band autotracking in the cassegrain configuration as shown here. We can customize the 3000 System to handle other frequency bands as well. Please see your TCS representative for more information.
Robust Platform for Stationary and Mobile Applications
Mount Designed for Easy Transportation on Trailer
Single or Mult-Section Reflector Available
Modular, Connector Based Design For Easy Assembly
All Pedestal Electronics Contained in PIU At Base
Optional Camera Available
One of the great design features of all of the TCS Antenna Systems is their modularity. We designed each sub-system to plug together with connectors. No soldering here. This makes it easy to assemble and to maintain. All of the pedestal electronics are located in the Pedestal Interface Unit (PIU) at the base of the pedestal. Inside you will find our Pedestal Interface PCB along with power supplies, servos, and other pedestal electronics.
The Model 3000 System connects with the TCS Antenna Control Unit-M1 (ACU-M1) through a fiber optic connection. We can configure the system to support singlemode or multi-mode fiber. This is based on the distance from the ACU to the pedestal. These lightweight control cables make setup and transportation easy.
If you need to see where the antenna is pointing, we provide an optional camera. The video can either be picked up at a BNC connection at the base of the system, or brought back to the ACU-M1 over a fiber connection. Control of the camera is handled on the front panel of the ACU-M1.
