7.4.1 Adjusting the Mast Magnetic Switches
The Magnetic Switches are located on the mast base tube (Figure 7-1). The upper magnetic
switch senses that the top tube is extended and activates the RCP functions. The lower magnetic
switch senses when the mast is completely stowed and triggers the vehicle interconnect signal. It
is important to ensure that the mast has properly nested by verifying the collars are stacked with
no gaps between them. If a switch is found to require adjustment, it will most commonly need to
be moved upward (toward the RCP) on the mast. The magnet is located at the lower end and
side of the top tube. It is not visible outside the mast.

Follow the instructions in Section 5.10.2 and Section 5.10.7 for adjusting the Magnetic Switch
positions.
7.5 Adjusting the RCP Home Position
The RCP home position is the position of the RCP and lights where the light bars align with the
saddle and the lights are facing down when stowed. If the RCP home position is set properly,
when being stowed, the RCP shafts should contact the saddle simultaneously. The home
position is established by positioning small flags in the RCP that engage photo interrupters on the
RCP PC board. Adjusting the RCP home position should be done indoors. Adjusting the home
position outside can cause improper RCP operation due to sunlight reaching the photo sensors.
Before delivery of a new system, the RCP home position is tested and normally no adjustment is
necessary.
A dual-tilt RCP and single-tilt RCP have slightly different adjustment procedures. If an adjustment
is required, adjust the RCP home position as follows:
7.5.1 Single-Tilt RCP Home Position Adjustment
If your system is a dual-tilt RCP, skip to Section 7.5.2. Adjust the single-tilt RCP as follows:
1. Disconnect all light power to the system using proper lock-out tag-out procedures (see
Section 7.1). Keep the DC power connected to the mast control system.
