5.4.3 Antenna Gyro Assembly
(TracVision L3 only)
Estimated Time to Repair: 1 hour
The antenna gyro is mounted on the rear of the antenna reflector
bracket with four locking nuts and washers – Fig. 5-3. Following
the removal and replacement of the antenna gyro assembly, it
will be necessary to calibrate the gyro and restart the system.
Directions for removal, replacement, and calibration follow:
1. Using needle-nose pliers, remove the E-ring from
one end of the connecting rod – Fig. 5-2.
2. Remove the connecting rod by sliding it off the
bracket.
3. Fully retract the elevation axis motor shaft
– Fig. 5-5.
4. Remove 6 pan head screws from the PCB cover
flanges.
5. Remove the PCB cover. To get the necessary
clearance, rotate the linear actuator up 90º while
lifting the PCB cover – Fig. 5-5.
6. Remove the screw and clamp holding the antenna
gyro cable to the rotating plate. Be sure to save the
cable clamp and screw – Fig. 5-4.
7. Remove the Molex connector from J11 on the PCB
– Fig. 5-6.
8. Remove the 4 nuts and washers and take the gyro
off of the bracket.
9. Remove the antenna gyro gasket.
10. Replacement is the reverse of this procedure.
Following the removal and
