RF Design - AHC-20 Antenna Heating Controller.
The AHC-20 features a versatile and professional antenna heating controller unit. With its multisensory technology and extremely flexible I/O design, this device offers all options combining maximum operating safety simultaneously and rational use of energy.
The AHC-20 can be accessed and controlled remotely via Web-Interface, SNMP and the GLOBUSS protocol. In a log file all status messages and parameter changes are recorded. The log file can be read out and exported via FTP Server. The AHC-20 decides, depending on options and whether the antenna heaters (Pre-, Main-Reflector and Feed-heating) must be turned on or off. This will be supported by using one or more light barriers, one or more temperature sensors, the sensor for measuring relative humidity, the calculated dew point, and the snow sensor. The control of the is usually done by means of the light barrier(s) and the air temperature sensor. The reflective light barriers, serve as reliable snow detectors, are mounted on the satellite dish. Any additional sensors are used for plausibility checks. The possibility of the supporting pre-heating enables a significant optimization of switch-on point and duty cycle of the main heating.
The control of the optional is carried out by means of the sensor for relative humidity, the reflector temperature sensor, the snow sensor and the calculated dew point. The pre-heating may be switched on constantly or pulsed. The pre-heating allows to switch on in the main heating by effective need with an already preheated reflector. As a result, a faster de-icing and a highly cost-efficient heating is possible. Due to its multi-sensors and parameterization, the AHC-20 can avoid an unnecessary heating during bad weather conditions.
