towing first responder vehicles with the vehicle interconnect safety circuit installed and
operational.
The Night Scan Vertical is intended to be used only when the vehicle is stationary and the vehicle
parking brake is properly applied. Do not supply input supply voltage or operate the mast system
when the vehicle is in motion. The mast shall remain in the powered-down, nested position
during vehicle motion.
3.3 Mast Position Definition
The mast is pneumatically moved by air pressure to the extended position. The following
positions (see Figure 3-1) are used throughout this manual:
• Stowed: the position in which the Remote-Controlled Positioner (RCP) is firmly seated in the
saddle. This position is sometimes referred to as the "nested" position.
• Extended: the partial or full raised position that the mast pneumatically raises to from the
stowed position. In the extended position, some or all of the mast sections have risen.
