System Overview
The Artemis microwave-based position reference system provides accurate positional data to
marine DP (dynamic positioning) control systems. It enables automated approach and station
keeping relative to a rig or platform, or to another vessel.
Artemis Control Software
The standard Artemis system consists of:
• Manager – This Windows service running on the Artemis Control PC can be configured to run
automatically after the PC powers up. It provides a single point of control for an Artemis sensor
through which the other components communicate.
• Two identical Antenna Units (or Sensors), user-configurable as a Mobile Station and a
Fixed Station.
• The Artemis Control PC, a Windows-based marine specification computer, running the control
software.
• Artemis Client PC(s), optional computers used where more than one installation of the Artemis
Dashboard software is required.
• Hand-held Operating Panel (or Pendant).
An alternative configuration - the Beacon system - involves the same components as the standard
system except for a Beacon Unit instead of a Fixed Station. A Beacon Unit does not provide an
Azimuth measurement.
The following applications run on the Artemis Control PC, usually mounted on the bridge near to
the controls of the vessel’s DP system:
• Service Interface – Used for system installation and maintenance, it allows network
communications to be configured and parameters on an Artemis Station to be viewed and set. It
displays the state of connected Artemis Dashboard(s) and can be used to take basic control of the
station.
• Dashboard – Used to control and monitor normal system operation. Up to five instances of the
Dashboard can run simultaneously on the Control PC and Client PCs, but only one of these can
exercise control at any given time; the others can only be used to monitor the system.
Antenna Units
The Mobile Station is mounted on the DP-Equipped vessel, ideally at the top of the main mast.
The Fixed Station is installed on a fixed platform if absolute positioning is needed or on a moving
platform or structure to provide relative positioning.
Hand-held Operating Panel (Pendant)
A hand-held unit that can be connected to a station or Beacon unit to read and set system
parameters during installation. It can also be used to view positional data once the system is in
operation. This is an optional diagnostic aid.
Artemis Service Interface
Artemis Dashboard
Explosion-Proof Antenna Unit/Beacon
An antenna unit or beacon can be made safe for operation in hazardous zone 2 conditions with
the use of a pressurisation unit. This forces clean air into the housing of the antenna unit or beacon
to prevent the ingress of explosive or flammable gases that might otherwise be ignited by electrical
sparks. Contact Guidance Marine for details.

An Operating Panel
System Overview (Continued)
System Operation
Beacon Unit
In order to provide positional data to the vessel’s DP system, the Artemis system needs to be
“locked”. In this state, the antennae of the Fixed and Mobile Stations are facing each other and
automatically tracking by maintaining a continuous microwave link.
Used instead of a standard rotating Fixed Station on a fixed platform for absolute positioning, or
on a moving platform or structure for relative positioning. The antenna of a Beacon unit does not
rotate, and three types of antenna are available for different situations:
The distance between the sensors is obtained from the travel time of the microwave signal,
measured by means of coded interruptions in the continuous wave. The bearing of the Fixed
Station, with respect to the centre line of the vessel, is measured using a precision shaft encoder.
The Fixed Station measures the Azimuth and reports it to the Mobile Station. The Azimuth is the
horizontal angle between a reference direction and the Mobile Station, with its vertex at the Fixed
Station.
A. Omni directional antenna with 360° beam width
B. Semi-omni antenna with waveguide, 100° beam width
C. Horn antenna with 66° beam width
Different Types of Beacon Antenna
Layout of a Standard Artemis System
The beam width of an antenna unit (Fixed or Mobile Station) is approximately 2°.

General Considerations
Mounting Template
A U-shaped bracket suitable for mounting the sensor should have the dimensions shown on the
right.
Sensor Orientation
Where possible the sensor should be mounted on the centre line of the vessel. It is recommended
that the centre connector and the rear mounting point be on - or parallel to - the centre line of the
vessel (see below).
Sensor Clearance
To facilitate 360° antenna rotation, a cylindrical space of 1400mm diameter with a vertical depth of
300mm around the centre of the rotating antenna should be free from any obstructions.

External Connections to an Artemis Sensor
An Artemis sensor can communicate with the Control PC using either Ethernet or RS422. Refer to Re-Configuring the Sensor Communications Type on page 48 if you need to change from one
type to the other.

Installing a Mobile Station
Site Requirements
When choosing a location for the Mobile Station:
•
•
Avoid objects like masts, poles or even bigger structures in the direct vicinity or in front of the
antenna; the Artemis positioning system requires free line of sight between the antennas of
the two stations.
To avoid damage to the antenna it is strongly recommended to mount the antenna unit in
its bracket without the antenna, and mount the antenna afterwards.
To mount the antenna unit in the bracket.
1.
Slide the antenna unit in the mounting bracket.
Avoid mounting the antenna unit in a position in which its antenna is in the same horizontal
plane as the ship’s radar antenna.
For permanent installations the ideal mounting position is on top of the vessel’s main mast. It is
advised to fit a small platform directly under the mounting bracket to ease installation and service.
The distance between the platform and the mounting bracket should be at least 0.8 m to be able
to remove the bottom cover from the antenna unit.
For temporary installations other mounting positions can be considered.
If the system is used at short ranges, the Mobile Station and the Fixed Station or Beacon should
be at roughly the same height. An exception here is a Beacon with a horn antenna. Since the
horn antenna is looking down by 30°, the Beacon may be in a substantially higher position than a
Mobile Station.
Do not mount the antenna unit too close to the mast. The antenna must be able
to turn around freely without bouncing off the mast or other obstacles.
Mounting the Mobile Station
•
•
Take measures to prevent falling down from the mast or other heights. Use a safety
harness.
The antenna unit should be mounted:
On a torsion-free stand or bracket.
In a position where the antenna has preferably 360° around free line of sight.
The antenna unit can be mounted in a ’U’-shaped bracket with three holes. The U-shape allows
the unit to be slid in the bracket, rather than lowering it from above. In this way it takes less effort
to install the antenna unit.
See General Considerations on page 13 for the dimensions of a ‘U’-shaped mounting
bracket.
Note: There is only one position in which the antenna unit fits in the bracket. This is the position
where the connectors are facing when standing in front of the ’U’-shaped cut-out of the bracket.
2.
Mount the antenna unit with three M8 bolts. Place a washer between the bolts’ head and
the mounting brackets of the unit. Use spring washers to secure the nuts. Preferably use
stainless steel bolts, washers and nuts.
To Mount the antenna unit:
3.
Position the antenna such, that the red mark on the antenna shaft of the antenna unit and the
red mark on the flange of the antenna are aligned.
16
Installing a Mobile Station (Continued)
4.
Mount the antenna with the six self-retaining M6 hexagon socket-head screws of the
antenna, using a 5 mm hexagon key.
Tightening the bolts if the antenna has not been properly positioned will damage the
antenna flange of the antenna unit.
If the Mobile Station is mounted at the centre line of the vessel, the bow or the stern can be used
for alignment. The best alignment will be obtained when the reference object is far away. If the
Mobile Station is installed off the vessel’s centre line, the antenna must be aligned parallel to the
centre line. In this case a reference mark must be defined (see below).
Closing the Vent
To avoid water from entering the antenna unit, the vent must be closed. This is done by turning
the ventilation screw clockwise and tightening it with a 5 mm hexagon key.
Alignment of the Mobile antenna if the station is installed off the centre line
For the alignment the optional telescope is recommended. It is assumed that the station has been
configured as a Mobile Station.
To align the Mobile antenna:
1.
If available, install the telescope on top of the antenna (see below).
Connecting the Antenna Unit
See External Connections to an Atemis Sensor on page 15
Aligning the Mobile Antenna
The direction of the antenna mounted on the antenna unit is defined by the position of the main
shaft of the antenna unit. Directly coupled to this main shaft is a precision shaft encoder which
measures the actual position (angle) of the main shaft. The angle measured by the encoder should
be related to a reference direction. To compute the vessel’s heading from the angle of the Mobile
antenna (the relative Mobile antenna bearing) and the azimuth as received from the Fixed Station,
the Mobile antenna must be aligned with the centre line of the vessel.
Mounting the optional telescope on top of the antenna
17
Installing a Mobile Station (Continued)
2.
Connect the operating panel to the antenna unit.
16. Disconnect the operating panel and replace the socket cap.
3.
Switch the power to the Artemis Mobile station on and allow about 60 seconds for the station
to start up.
17. Remove the telescope from the antenna and store it in a safe place.
4.
Press Menu 1 (Operate) on the operating panel.
5.
Turn the antenna roughly to the reference mark by making use of the ◄ and ► keys and the
0 key (to stop the antenna turning) of the operating panel.
All other settings can be entered from the Artemis Service Interface running on the Control PC. If
this PC is not (yet) available, these settings can also be entered from the operating panel.
Note: The rotational speed can be increased by pressing the ◄ or ► key twice in quick
succession. This works only if the antenna is already turning.
6.
Press Menu 263 on the operating panel; the following display page appears:
7.
Press Enter; the “<” starts blinking. Using the ▲▼ keys, select the value OPEN LOOP and
press Enter to confirm.
8.
Turn the antenna gently by hand until the telescope’s vertical hairline is aligned with the
reference mark.
Do not try to force the antenna by hand if it cannot be turned easily. This may damage the
antenna and/or the turning mechanism. The antenna can only be turned by hand if the
servo control mode is “OPEN LOOP” or if the operating mode (Menu 262) is IDL (idle) or STB
(standby). In Configuration mode (Menu 5) the operating mode of the antenna unit is STB
(standby) by default.
9.
Press Menu 231 on the operating panel; the following display page appears:
10. Press Enter; the cursor starts blinking.
11. Enter the bearing reference:
•
•
’0’ if the antenna is aimed at the bow or at a reference mark near the bow of the vessel;
‘180’ if the antenna is aimed at the stern or at a reference mark near the stern of the vessel.
12. Press Enter; the bearing reference has now been set.
13. Press Menu 263 (Servo Control).
14. Press Enter; the “<” starts blinking. Using the ▲▼ keys, select the value NORMAL for the servo
control mode and press Enter to confirm.
15. Press Menu; the Main Menu Mobile appears.
18
Installing a Fixed Station
Site Requirements
When choosing a location for the Fixed Station:
•
•
Avoid objects like poles or structures in the direct vicinity or in front of the antenna. Artemis
requires line of sight between the antenna of the Fixed Station and the antenna of the Mobile
Station.
The strength of the interference depends on the distance between the transmitting and receiving
antenna and the nature of the water surface. A smooth surface reflects the signal better than a
choppy surface. The signal at the receiving antenna in the diagram below is extinguished when
D1 + D2 – D = n λ, where:
Avoid a relatively large land path in front of the Fixed Station.
Do not mount the antenna unit too close to any obstacles. The antenna must preferably be able
to turn around freely without striking obstacles, which may damage the antenna. However, if
the antenna cannot turn 360° around but can make a large enough sector to cover the work
area, physical limits can be set to avoid contact with obstacles. These limits can be set with the
operating panel. See Setting Station Parameters with the Operating Panel on page 21 for
details.
The standard Artemis MK6 Fixed Station may not be installed in an explosion
hazardous environment. For operation in a zone 2 hazardous environment, an
optional pressurisation unit is available.
Influence of Antenna Heights
When choosing the height at which the Fixed Station is installed, the following aspects have to be
considered:
•
•
The influence of the curvature of the earth when operating the system at long ranges. This is
called the radio horizon. This influence tends not to be important for the Artemis Mk6 system
because the maximum range of the system is generally less than the radio horizon, even with
low antenna positions.
Reflection of the microwaves off the surface of the water may cause interference with the
direct signal. This can cause weakening or extinguishing of the signal. The positions at which
this phenomenon is experienced are generally referred to as ’range holes’, ’dip zones’ or
’interference zones’
The position and width of these interference zones are dependent on:
•
•
Reflection of microwaves against the water surface
D1 + D2 = indirect path length.
D = direct path length.
n = 1, 2, 3, …..
λ = wavelength.
Computer calculations show that the major interference zones are out of range of the Artemis
system. They fall at a distance over 5 kilometres. Nevertheless, a general rule is that lower Fixed
and Mobile Station positions are in favour, because:
•
•
The interference zones fall closer and hence are easier to overcome because the signal
strength is still relatively high.
The interference zones are smaller than for higher antenna positions.
The antenna heights.
The wavelength of the transmitted signal.
19
Installing a Fixed Station (Continued)
Operation of more systems in the same area
Operation of more than one system in the same area is possible in the following situations:
•
•
Vessels have their own work sector and are not ’crossing’ each other. See below.
Vessels work in the same direction, but with different frequency pairs. See right.
In the diagram below, the beam sectors do not come within 10° of each other and no interference
will occur.
Two vessels using Artemis systems working in the same direction
System 1
Two vessels using Artemis systems in different sectors
In the diagram to the right, the best combination of frequency pairs is pair 0 for system 1 and pair
1 for system 2, while these pairs give the largest difference between the frequencies of the Mobile
Stations.
To avoid influencing each other, the two Fixed Stations should be located at least two metres from
each other in the vertical plane and no more than six metres apart in the horizontal plane. The best
position for two Fixed Stations working in the same direction is above each other with at least two
metres difference in height.

or the antenna turning mechanism.
The antenna can only be turned by hand if the servo control mode is OPEN LOOP or if the
operating mode (Menu 262) is IDL (idle) or STB (standby). In Configuration mode (Menu 5) the
operating mode of the antenna unit is STB (standby) by default.
23. Press Next if no reference azimuth needs to be entered; the page at step 29 appears and
continue from there. Otherwise:
24. If there is a suitable reference object of which the bearing with respect to north is known, and
if the optional telescope is available, mount the telescope on the antenna.
Set the operating mode to STB manually (Menu 262) if the antenna cannot be turned by hand.
Make sure to set the operating mode back to OPE (operate) afterwards.
Note: For absolute positioning it is important that the antenna unit is levelled, that an accurate
reference azimuth is entered and that the exact position of the Fixed Station is known.
17. Slowly and gently turn the antenna clockwise by hand to the point beyond which the antenna
should not travel, the so-called (physical) right end limit.
If the system is used for dynamic positioning, then relative positioning is generally all that is
required. If use is made of a reference object: the further away this reference object is, the more
accurate the referencing will be. The reference object should, however, still be visible with the
telescope. If grid coordinates of the reference object and the position at which the Fixed Station
is installed are known, then the reference azimuth can easily be calculated (see below). The
reference azimuth α is calculated as follows:
Note: If the antenna can rotate 360° round, this step can be skipped by pressing Next.
18. Press Enter to set the right end limit, or press Next if no right end limit is to be set; the
following page appears:
19. Using the◄ key and the 0 key to stop the antenna, turn the antenna to the left auto search
scan limit of the antenna.
20. Press Enter to set the left auto search scan limit; the following page appears:
Note: The left auto search scan limit cannot lie beyond the confiured left end limit. The antenna
stops when the left end limit has been reached.

Installing a Fixed Station (Continued)
25. Slowly and gently turn the antenna by hand towards the reference object.
26. Look through the telescope and turn the antenna gently by hand until the telescope’s vertical
hairline is aligned with the reference object.
27. Press Enter; the following page appears:
37. Press the ▼key; the cursor points at the parameter CONF.PRTCTED (configuration
protected).
38. Press Enter if the change of settings by the counter station is allowed, then press the ▼key
to change ON to OFF and press Enter again to confirm. Otherwise, press the ▼key to go to
the parameter GYRO CMPSAT (gyro compensation).
39. Press Enter and then press the ▼key to change OFF to ON if the measured azimuth is to
be compensated by a gyrocompass, if for example the Fixed Station is installed on a semisubmersible and a gyrocompass is used to account for the rotation of the semi-submersible.
28. Key-in the reference azimuth and press Enter; the reference azimuth has now been set.
Note: When pressing Enter the display may show a slightly different value for the last digit entered.
This is caused by the fact that the resolution of the shaft encoder is 0.003° and so less than
0.001°.
Note: The compensation of the azimuth by a gyrocompass requires that the antenna unit is
connected to a control or client PC to which the gyrocompass can be connected.

34. Press the ▼key; the word OFF changes to ON, and then press Enter to confirm.
Note: Setting the automatic switching-on of the antenna heating to ON for an explosion proof
station will have no effect, i.e. will not switch the heating on. The antenna unit of an explosion
proof station has no Anti-Icing Supply (AIS) module installed.
35. Press Next; the following page appears:
44. Press Menu; the Main Menu Fix appears and the station goes into operation.
Note: If the servo control mode was set to OPEN LOOP or the operating mode was set to
STANDBY during the configuration procedure, then the servo control mode (Menu 263) must be
set back to NORMAL or the operating mode (Menu 262) must be set back to OPE (operate).
If the auto search function was switched on, the antenna will start scanning between the left and
right auto search scan limits until the station picks up signal from a Mobile Station set for the same
frequency pair and the same selective address code. The antenna will lock onto the antenna of
the Mobile Station and azimuth and distance will be available at the Mobile Station.
If the parameter CONF.PRTCTED was set to OFF, Fixed Station parameters can be modified
remotely fron the Control PC connected to the mobile station, using the Artemis Service Interface.
36. Press Enter if AUTO RECOVERY (default ON) is to be set to OFF (not recommended); press
the ▼key to change ON to OFF and press Enter to confirm.
If no other Fixed Station parameters need to be set or changed using the operating panel, the
operating panel may now be disconnected.

Installing a Beacon
Site requirements
When choosing a location for the Beacon:
•
•
•
The foreground of the beacon must be free from obstacles like masts and poles.
Avoid a relatively large land path in front of the beacon.
The height of the beacon must preferably be the same as the height of the Mobile Station
onboard the vessel. If the beacon is installed at a significantly higher position, the use of a
beacon horn antenna type ATH-010B is recommended.
The beacon may not be installed in an explosion hazardous environment. For operation in
a zone 2 hazardous environment, an optional pressurisation unit is available.
Mounting the Beacon
•
•
Take measures to prevent falling down from the mast or other heights. Use a safety
harness.
The beacon should be mounted:
To mount the antenna on the beacon:
1.
Position the antenna such, that the red mark on the beacon and the red mark on the
mounting flange of the beacon antenna are aligned.
2.
Mount the antenna with the four self-retaining M6 hexagon socket-head screws of the
antenna, using a 5 mm hexagon key.
Tightening the bolts if the antenna has not been properly positioned will damage the
antenna flange of the beacon.
Closing the Vent
See Closing the Vent on page 17.
Connecting the Beacon
See External Connections to an Artemis Sensor on page 15.
On a rigid stand or bracket.
Ideally in a position where the antenna has a 360° clear line of sight if an omni-directional
antenna is fitted. For the other antenna types a sector of approx. 140° clear line of sight,
which should include the work area, is adequate.
The beacon can be mounted in a ’U’-shaped bracket with three holes. See General
Considerations on page 13 for the required dimensions. The U-shape allows the beacon to be
slid in the bracket, rather than lowering it from above. In this way it takes less effort to install the
beacon.
To mount the beacon in the bracket:
1.
Slide the beacon in the mounting bracket.
Note: There is only one position in which the beacon fits in the bracket. This is the position where
the connectors are facing when standing in front of the ’U’-shaped cut-out of the bracket.
2.
Secure the beacon with three M8 bolts. Place a washer between the bolts’ head and
the mounting brackets of the unit. Use spring washers to secure the nuts. Preferably use
stainless steel bolts, washers and nuts.

The Service Interface is usually connected to the mobile station of an Artemis system, but it can
also be connected to a fixed station or beacon. We will therefore use the term “local station” to
refer to the antenna unit to which the Service Interface is connected and “Remote Station” to refer
to the other unit, without implying which is mobile and which is fixed.
30
Using the Artemis Service Interface
The Service Interface is a tool for configuring the Artemis system.
To open the Service Interface
Screen Layout of the ASI
The upper part of the ASI window contains fields relating to communications, as follows:
1. Ensure that the Antenna Unit is powered on and connected to the control computer.
2. Double-click on the Service Interface icon:
(Alternatively, run from the Start menu:
Start > All Programs > Guidance Marine Ltd > Artemis > Artemis Service Interface)
Artemis Manager - The state of the connection between the ASI and the Artemis Manager
(“Connected” or “Not Connected”).
Take Command / Relinquish Command - This button allows the user to toggle the command
mode of the ASI between In Command and Monitoring.
In Command Indicator - This red block symbol is visible when the ASI is In Command mode.
Sensor - The state of the connection between the Artemis Manager and the sensor (“Connected”,
“Not Connected” or “Unknown”).
Validator - Shows whether an Artemis Validator unit is connected to the Manager (“Connected” or
“Not Connected”).
The remainder of the CSI screen is occupied by one of several tab areas.
31
Operational Overview
The Navigation Tab
The Navigation tab gives an overview of the operational state of the system: the direction in which
the local unit is transmitting, whether it is locked to a Remote Station, and - if so – the detected
position and signal level. It also shows the configured scan limits and end limits of the local station.
If the system is not locked, it allows the user to search for the Remote Station either manually or
automatically.
The Navigation tab contains the following fields and controls:
Azimuth - The horizontal angle of the Remote Station, relative to North or another reference
direction.
Bearing - The horizontal angle of the Remote Station relative to the local station.
Heading - The direction of the vessel relative to the reference direction used to define Azimuth.
Range - The distance between the local and Remote Stations.
Signal Level - The strength of the signal received from the Remote Station.
Local Station Model – The version of the local Antenna Unit (e.g. Mk 6).
Station Type – Whether the local station is Mobile or Fixed.
Operating Mode –The current state of the local sensor (Operating, Standby or Idle).
Scan Limit Left and Scan Limit Right - These define the horizontal sector in which the local
unit normally operates, and through which the antenna rotates when in Auto-Search mode (see
below). The Scan Left Limit sets the anti-clockwise edge of this sector and the Scan Right Limit
sets the clockwise edge, as represented by the dark blue area on the Bird’s Eye View.
Rotate Sensor - Click on the left-arrowhead to move the antenna in an anti-clockwise direction
(repeat as necessary). Click on the right-arrowhead to move clockwise.
Enable Auto-Search - After clicking this button, the antenna rotates to and fro between the
configured scan limits until it locks onto the Remote Station, or until Disable Auto-Search is
clicked.
Frequency Pair - The fixed and mobile stations each transmit at a given frequency within the
9200-9300 MHz band. These frequencies are selected as a pair and if two Artemis systems are
to be used in close proximity they should be allocated different frequency pairs, in order to avoid
interference.
Tx Address Code - The address code being transmitted by the local station (0-63).
Rx Address Code - The address code received from the Remote Station (0-63).
Note also that a grey area on the Bird’s Eye View represents a sector into which the antenna
cannot rotate due to a physical obstruction. This is configured by means of the parameters End
Limit Left and End Limit Right.
32
Adding and Selecting a Remote Station

Using the Operating Panel
The operating panel (see below) consists of a 4 rows by 20 characters lighted liquid crystal display
and a 19 keys (10 numerical keys and 9 function keys) keyboard.
In practice the operating panel is only connected to a station or beacon after installation, to
set parameters which are easiest set from close to the station or beacon. The operating panel
may also be used during service to check or alter the settings of Mobile and Fixed Stations and
Beacons.
For a Mobile Station the operating panel is only useful for the alignment of the Mobile antenna
with the centreline of the vessel. All other settings are more conveniently done using the Artemis
Service Interface running on the Control PC.
Operator interaction between the keyboard and the display of the operating panel is via a menu
structure. The menu structure is basically the same for the Fixed Station, Mobile Station and
Beacon.

Menu structure
Data pages
At the top of the menu structure is the MAIN MENU. For a station configured as a Mobile Station
it is called MAIN MENU MOB, for a station configured as Fixed Station MAIN MENU FIX, and for a
Beacon it is called MAIN MENU BCN.
Data pages show Artemis data and /or parameters which cannot be changed, at least not through
these pages. A particular category may contain more than one data page. For example: the
category OPERATE in the Fixed Station menu structure contains three different data display pages.
The first of these pages is shown below. Subsequent pages are selected by pressing the Next key.
From the main menu a selection can be made from a maximum of six categories by keying-in the
number adjacent to the category. The following display page types are distinguished:

Menu pages
Menu pages display a number of categories the operator can choose from by keying-in the
number shown adjacent to the categories. Apart from the Main Menu pages already referred to,
there are several other menu pages. An example of such a menu page is given below.
Modify pages enable the operator to read and/or change the parameters shown on these pages.
Some pages have a restricted number of values, from which a choice is made by pressing the
▲and ▼key until the required value is showing. Other parameters require a numerical value to be
entered.
Example of a modify page (parameter value selection)
Example of a menu page
In this example there is a choice of five categories. Pressing “1” selects the instruction page for
the setting of the antenna (azimuth) reference. Pressing “2” selects the instruction page to set the
auto search left and right scan limits by turning the antenna to these limits. Pressing “3” selects
the modify page for the setting of the numerical values of the auto search left and right scan limits.
Pressing “4” selects the instruction page to set the physical left and right limits of the antenna.
Pressing “5” selects the modify page for entering an azimuth value the antenna should turn to (set
point).

Using the Operating Panel (Continued)
Instruction pages
Instruction pages instruct the operator to carry out a particular action. The Enter key is pressed to
acknowledge that the action has been carried out.
Pressing the Menu key makes the operating panel display the station’s or beacon’s Main Menu. It
can be pressed at any moment and acts as an escape key.
The On/Off key is not functioning and so does not act as an on/off switch.
The Enter key is used to:

Example of an instruction page
Operating panel keys
The operating panel has the following keys:
•
•
•
•
Numerical keys 0-9.
Function keys Del, Next, Menu, On/Off and Enter.
Arrow up ( ▲) and arrow down ( ▼) key.
Arrow left and minus key (-◄) and arrow right and decimal point (►.) key.
To enter the numerical value 0.
To stop the antenna from turning after operating the arrow left (-◄) or arrow right (►.) key.
The Del key has three functions:
•
•
•
To accept new data entered.
The Arrow up ( ▲) key is used to:
•
•
Move the cursor ‘<’ up if there are more parameters that can be chosen from.
Step through possible parameter values in a modify page.
The Arrow down ( ▼) key is used to:
•
•
Move the cursor ‘<’ down if there are more parameters that can be chosen from.
Step through possible parameter values in a modify page.
The Arrow left (-◄) key has the following functions:
The numerical 0 key has two functions:
•
•
Enable new data to be entered or to enable selection of a value.
To step back to a higher level in the menu structure.
To delete a character or a number of characters when in a modify page (back space
function).
Escape function.
The Next key is used to step through the different pages of categories which contain more than
one data or modify page. These pages have ‘>N’ displayed in the bottom right hand corner to
indicate that more pages in the same category exist. An exception here is the Operate display
pages which show the position data.
•
To turn the antenna counter clockwise (Mobile and Fixed Station only).
•
To enter a minus sign when entering numbers.
Note: Pressing twice in quick succession when the antenna is turning makes the antenna turn
faster.
The Arrow right (►.) key has the following functions:
•
To turn the antenna clockwise (Mobile and Fixed Station only).
•
To enter a decimal point when entering numbers.
Note: Pressing twice in quick succession when the antenna is turning makes the antenna turn
faster.
In Instruction pages the last instruction page also shows ‘>N’ in the bottom right hand corner. In
this case pressing Next causes a return to the (sub) menu page above.

Re-Configuring the Sensor Communications Type
Whether the Artemis sensor communicates using Ethernet or serial RS422 is determined by the
position of a cable connector in relation to the Interconnection board (ICB). In order to change from
one type of communication to the other, proceed as follows.
Ensure that the sensor is disconnected from the power supply before removing the cover.
Take electrostatic precautions prior to touching printed circuit boards.
1.
Disconnect the sensor from the power supply.
2.
Remove the bottom cover.
3.
Identify the data cable that runs from the external data socket down to the ICB.
4.
Move its 6-way connector to the required pin header. Use the header to the left marked
“RS422” for RS422 communications, and the header to the right marked “NW1” for Ethernet
communications.
