What this unit does
The 7016C is the below-deck Antenna Control Unit of a SAILOR VSAT system. It powers the above-deck antenna, controls satellite acquisition and tracking, and talks to the VSAT modem. If the ACU fails, the antenna stops tracking and the vessel loses its broadband link.
Which systems it is used with
SAILOR distributors list part number 407016C-T19 as the universal ACU for Ku-band and Ka-band antennas: SAILOR 900 VSAT, SAILOR 900 VSAT High Power, SAILOR 800 VSAT, SAILOR 600 VSAT, SAILOR 60 GX and SAILOR 100 GX.
