Mast Component Descriptions

Figure 3-4, Figure 3-6, Figure 3-7, and Figure 3-8 show major components of the Night Scan
Powerlite, Night Scan Powerlite Xtreme, and Night Scan Powerlite HDT systems.
Mast: The mast consists of concentric tube sections that extend as air pressure is applied. These
tubes are protected by low friction synthetic bearings. The exterior surfaces of the tubes are
anodized and sealed for long life. The mast contains a coiled cord in the center for power and
data. Optionally, an external Nycoil® may be included (not show) for camera or other accessory
cables.
RCP: The Remote Control Positioner (RCP) pans and tilts the lights. The RCP does not become
active until the mast tilts up to the 90° position. Standard Night Scan Powerlite, Night Scan
Powerlite Xtreme, and Night Scan Powerlite HDT masts come equipped with a dual-tilt RCP. This
means the left and right lights tilt independently to direct light at a desired position(s).

Magnetic Down Switch: The magnetic down switch is activated by a magnet in the mast top
tube section. The position is factory set to indicate when the mast is fully retracted. Once
activated, the mast is free to tilt back to the stowed position. See Section 7.5.4 for optional
adjustment.
