8 Reference Information
This section describes reference information for your system, including some optional
equipment.
8.1 DIP Switch Definitions
Dual In-Line Package (DIP) Switches on the base board and the Remote-Controlled Positioner
(RCP) PC board are set at the factory and normally do not have to be changed. The DIP
Switches on the base board define the warning light signal, NFPA verses Standard mode, if an
RCP is present, and if the mast is a Vertical or a fold-down type. The RCP DIP Switches define if
the system should stow automatically while on a fault, if the RCP is a Profiler unit, and if the
system stows before or while lowering. For additional information on the DIP Switches and their
settings, see the wiring diagram in the Appendix.
By default, the RCP becomes active when the upper magnetic switch is sensed. If this is too
early and there is a possibility that the RCP may be accidentally turned and hit the vehicle (and
the upper magnetic switch cannot be adjusted higher), an addition of 5, 10, or 15 seconds of
“Mast Up” time can be set as shown in Table 8-1. If set, the RCP will continue to be inactive for 5,
10, or 15 seconds after sensing the upper magnetic switch.
Note: The controls check the status of the DIP Switches only during initialization. After flipping a
DIP Switch, the system will need to be restarted for the change to take effect.
8.2 Strobe/Beacon Light
The optional strobe/beacon light (Figure 8-1) provides visibility and safety by mounting on top the
RCP and brightly showing the height of the mast. The strobe/beacon light can be used at any
voltage from 12 to 48 VDC. The strobe/beacon lights are available in amber, blue, clear, red, and
green.
The strobe/beacon light can be turned on by pressing the "AUX" controller button when the RCP
is high enough to be active. Pressing the button again would turn the strobe/beacon light off.
