With built in inclinometer, GPS receiver and DVB receiver built in and fully controlled the operator can concentrate on other important tasks.
Design
The system has been designed taking into account Dawson's extensive experience to make the solution light, rugged and fast to deploy but wile still retaining the Dawson reputation for quality and value with the system costing a fraction of competitive equipment.
Ease of use
The system operates from Dawson custom software that is pre programmed to search for the required satellite using the built in DVB receiver. The operational interface is a simple three button One for deploy, One for stow and an emergency stop. The display also provides a progress meter and a Eb/No meter so that pointing progress can be monitored from the main screen The software also provides manual control of the antenna if required as well as detailed diagnostics to assist with the unlikely event of fault finding. There is even an option of a manual hand held controller to give complete redundancy
Compatibility
With the system so light and compact it can be fitted to virtually any base vehicle. Customers have already chosen small hatchbacks to articulated trailers to fit the systems to. Its small surface area and wide base plate make the interface easy and fast to install.
