STOWING THE DISH WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS:
If you are able to go onto the roof:
1. Unplug the Green 9 pin Control Cable from the back of the
NOMAD. This will release the dynamic braking that normally
holds the Mount in position. The Mount may now be rotated
manually.
2. Carefully apply a slight, continuous amount of force to move
the dish into an acceptable position for traveling. In Azimuth,
rotate the mount in a counter-clockwise direction to move to the
proper stowed position.
3. Plug the Green 9 pin Control Cable back into the NOMAD.
4. Call MotoSAT’s™ Technical Support Line (800) 247-7486 when
you can perform additional troubleshooting.
If you are unable to go onto the roof :
The dish can be manipulated by applying 12 Volt DC power to specific wires
in the Control Cable located in the back of the NOMAD. The 12 Volts going
to your NOMAD Controller’s 3 pin Power Connector (see page 5) can be
used as the 12 Volt DC power source.
1. ELEVATION - Orange and Red wires (reversing polarity will
change motor direction)
2. AZIMUTH
- Black and Brown (reversing polarity will change
motor direction.)
3. SKEW - Brown and Red wires (reversing polarity will
change motor direction.)
If a chain or motor/gearbox assembly is broken, the dish will have to be
stowed by hand.
