BIT-SPT80-D Direct Drive Antenna Rotator System Features

Maintenance-free long-lasting lubrication

The gearbox is filled with aviation-grade wide-temperature grease, which does not solidify at low temperature of -40°C and does not run off at high temperature of +80°C. The Bit-cctv seal lubrication system ensures that the equipment does not need to be filled with lubricating oil frequently during the entire life cycle, which greatly reduces the maintenance cost of high-altitude work.

Design of Military-grade Worm Gear Drive

Using high-strength copper alloy worm gear and hardened steel worm, Bit-cctv unique self-locking structure design can withstand up to 2000 Nm braking torque, completely eliminate the “windmill effect” (Windmilling) in high wind environment, to ensure that the antenna pointing in the hurricane is still motionless.

0.05 ° ultra-high pointing accuracy

Built-in 16-bit absolute encoder, with closed-loop control algorithm, will repeat the positioning accuracy control within 0.05 °. Compared with the traditional potentiometer feedback system, the Bit-cctv scheme can significantly improve the tracking gain of Ka/Ku band narrow beam satellite signal and reduce the link los

IP66 all-weather protection

The fuselage is made of die-cast aluminum alloy and 3 heavy-duty anti-corrosion coating on the surface, combined with special fluorine-containing rubber sealing ring, through 96 hours of salt spray test. Even in extreme environments such as high salt fog at sea or desert dust storms, the internal precision gears and circuits are protected from corrosion and have a service life of more than 5 years.

intelligent variable speed control

Support soft start and soft stop function, automatically adjust the acceleration and deceleration curve according to the load inertia. This 1 the design effectively avoid the mechanical impact of emergency stop on the antenna array and the installation tower, protect the precision microwave components, and reduce the risk of overheating of the motor.

Multi-protocol compatible integration

Native support for Pelco-D/P and other mainstream control protocols, can be directly connected to the existing security or communication network via RS-485 or Ethernet. System integrators can achieve remote control without additional development drivers, significantly shortening the project deployment cycle.

Instructions for use Antenna Rotator System

Mast installation and center of gravity calibrationt

Fix the rotator on the mast with a diameter of 48-65mm and tighten the stainless steel U-bolts. When installing the antenna, be sure to adjust the installation position so that the center of gravity of the antenna is as close as possible to the rotation axis of the rotator to reduce motor load and gear wear and extend the life of the equipment..

Cable reservation and waterproof treatmentt

When connecting the control line and RF cable, sufficient Drip Loop and rotation allowance must be reserved under the rotator to prevent the cable from being broken during rotation or rainwater flowing into the interface along the line. Apply a multi-layer wrap seal to all joints using self-adhesive waterproof tape..

Controller connection and zero point settingt

Connect the rotator to the indoor controller/computer according to the wiring diagram, and confirm that the voltage (DC24V/AC220V) matches. After the initial power-on, perform the “zero calibration” procedure, the system will automatically find the mechanical zero position and synchronize the encoder data to ensure that the azimuth angle displayed by the software is consistent with the actual antenna pointing..

Software parameter configuration and limit settingt

A soft stop is set in the control software to prevent the antenna rotation from pulling the cable too much. Set the appropriate acceleration and deceleration time according to the antenna weight. It is recommended to set the heavy-duty antenna to 3-5 seconds to achieve smooth start and stop and protect the mechanical structure..

Factory and Certificate

FAQ

A1: Our system can withstand wind speeds up to 50 m/s (about 16 super typhoon) without damage or passive rotation in a static locked state. In the operating state, it is recommended that the wind speed should not exceed 20 m/s (level 8 wind) to protect the safety of the antenna array and transmission gear.

A2: The selection mainly depends on two parameters: vertical load weight and wind bending moment. Please calculate the total weight of your antenna and bracket, and calculate the wind load torque according to the windward area of the antenna. A 30% performance margin is recommended. If you are not sure, please provide the antenna specifications, and the Bit-cctv engineer can calculate the selection for you free of charge.

A3: Our controller is compatible with common GS-232B and Pelco-D protocols. This means that it is compatible with almost all major satellite tracking software (such as Orbitron, HRD, N1MM) and security video management platforms. We also provide free testing and configuration software.

A4: No need. The Bit-cctv rotator has been filled with high-performance aviation-grade fully synthetic grease at the factory, and does not need to be opened for maintenance within the design life (usually more than 5 years). Dismantling without permission may damage the waterproof sealing ring and cause water to enter the equipment, thus losing the warranty qualification.

A5: For cabling more than 50 meters, we recommend using the RS-485 interface version or the fiber optic transceiver solution. The RS-485 supports a communication distance of up to 1200 meters and has strong anti-interference ability. If the traditional analog voltage control method is used, the long distance will cause voltage drop, which will affect the positioning accuracy.

A6: Certainly. Our standard version operates from -25°C to +60°C. For extremely cold regions (such as Russia and Canada),Bit-cctv provides a customized “polar version” with a built-in automatic temperature control heating module, which can start and operate normally at -40°C or even lower temperatures.
