3.3 Manual Driving

The PositionIt system can be manually driven using the (4) arrowed buttons labelled Pan and
Tilt on the front panel (Figure 3-2). These are non-latching push-button controls. To move the
positioner, push and hold the related direction button and release when the desired position is
reached.
The driving speed of the positioner is proportional. When using the Pan and Tilt buttons it will
start slow then ramp up to its maximum over a couple of seconds. Use quick momentary button
presses to achieve accurate small movements.

3.4 Stowing and Unstowing the Positioner

To Stow the positioner, simply momentarily press the button labelled "Stow" on the front panel
of the Rack Mount Controller (Figure 3-3). The unit will drive itself to the pre-programmed stow
position.
To unstow the positioner simply momentarily press the button labelled "Unstow" on the front
panel of the Rack Mount Controller (Figure 3-3). The unit will drive itself to the pre-programmed
Unstow position.
If any other control inputs are sent to the positioner before either the Stow or Unstow actions are
complete these will interrupt the process. This will stop the positioner from finishing the stow or
unstow process.
