APPENDIX E –
EMERGENCY STOW
It is unlikely that your dish will not be able to stow through the Remote Panel or the
Administrative screen. Please review the ways below in which you may stow the dish.
MANUAL STOW PROCESS 1
– Try this first
If you do not have power to the dish, please review the other Manual Stow Procedures 2,
3 and 4 below.
•
Reboot the entire MAGELLAN system via the power bar and try again using the
Remote Control Panel Stow button or the Administrative screen on the computer.
(The Administrative screen is accessed by typing in 192.168.1.2 on any browser
window)
•
Reboot the computer and try again. Try using a different computer if you are
unable to access the Administrative screen.
•
Directly connect the Dish Ethernet Cable directly to the computer to access the
Administrative screen. Reboot the Dish after you connect the cable. Make sure
your computer is set up to automatically receive an IP address.
•
Make sure there is enough power for the Inverter… Turn on your car engine to
charge the batteries to a strength that will power the system.
MANUAL STOW PROCESS 2
– The Azimuth (Base Rotation) and Skew (Dish
face rotation) may be moved by hand by gently applying enough force to move the gears
of these two axis. To move Elevation, follow these steps:
STEP 1
– Move the Skew of the Dish Face by hand to its center position. This action
will not damage the motor if you apply gentle force until the dish moves.
STEP 2
– Rotate the Azimuth of the dish by hand as well. Again, this will not damage
the motors or gears if you apply gentle force against the dish.
STEP 3
- Remove the 4 screws that hold one side
STEP 4
- Remove the 6 screws from the other.
