Radeus Labs 8200 Satellite Antenna Control System
Excellent for retrofitting existing legacy systems such as the Vertex 7200
RL8200 Controller
The Radeus Labs 8200 antenna control system meets the requirements of retrofits and new installations. As a retrofit option, the ACU is compatible with industry standard drive-cabinet interfaces and legacy position-feedback devices such as absolute rotary optical encoders.
RL8200 Features
- Touchscreen controls for all operations
- Efficient, intuitive graphical user interface
- Hardware jog buttons with LED indicators
- Data and parameters secured in nonvolatile storage
- Innovative setup wizard eases installation
- Secure TeamViewer integration for remote and shared ACU operation
- Field-proven in critical applications.

Description |
|
Step Track |
Advanced algorithm for periodic or signal-level-triggered scans to peak the signal level |
|
Predictive Track |
Tracks targets based on an orbital model developed from prior Step Track data points |
|
NORAD TLE |
Automated tracking based on NORAD two-line element sets |
|
Intelsat IESS-412 |
Tracking derived from Intelsat 11-element parameter sets |
|
TLE with Steptrack |
Track using TLE as a base model but add periodic Step Tracks to correct for offsets over time |
|
IESS-412 Step |
Tracking with Intelsat model, with added Step Track to correct for offsets |
|
Manual Jog |
Dedicated front-panel antenna jog controls |
|
Move to Longitude |
Points the antenna to AZ and EL angles determined by the longitudinal orbital slot |
|
Move to Angles |
Points the antenna to user-supplied AZ, EL and POL angles |
