Wall Plate Controller
At any time during any operation, the system may be put in manual control
operation mode by pressing the MANUAL button on the wall plate controller.
WHEN USING THE MANUAL MODE, THE SYSTEM WILL LOSE
INFORMATION.
You will
not
be able to move directly to a satellite without re-
peating a search process, or automatically go to the last satellite used.
To regain these automatic features
, follow directions in number 3 below.
1. Press the MANUAL button on the wall plate
controller. The display will read “Manual Control.” If
the dish is in stowed position or less than 24° on
the display, the dish is in a less than vertical
position. Press and hold the UP arrow key
to elevate the dish to a 90° (vertical) position. The
display should then read 24° or above in the
lower right hand corner. Now you can move the dish
left and right safely — no moving part of the dish will
come into contact with the roof.
NOTE:
A “fail-safe” is built into the unit to prevent the
dish turning until 0 or a greater number is displayed
for elevation when receiver is plugged in.
2. Press ARROW buttons for the desired dish
movement. UP arrow elevates dish, DOWN lowers
dish, LEFT moves dish in a counter-clockwise direction,
RIGHT moves dish in clockwise direction.
You cannot go
past the LIMIT message.
3. To exit from the manual operation mode, you can
1) Press CANCEL
or
2) Press POWER
*
or
3) Press STOW
*
If you use the POWER button, remember to hold POWER button in for at least two (2) seconds, then
release. “Power off” should be displayed.
NOTE: When in the Manual Operation mode, any positive number will allow unit to rotate. Less than 0° will result in
“Raise dish” message.
1. Pressing the STOW button at any time will initiate the
command to stow the dish. The display shows “Antenna
Auto Stowing” while the dish is in the process of stow-
ing. After the dish is in the stow position, you will see the
message “Antenna Auto STOWED.” The red LED will go
out. The unit will shut off automatically after approxi-
mately 1.5 minutes, or you may turn power off by
holding in Power button for two seconds.
IT IS ADVISABLE to step outside the vehicle to see
that the dish is stowed and ready for travel.
