3.4 Stowing and Unstowing the Positioner
To Stow the positioner, press the momentary push-button labelled "Stow" on the front panel of
the Rackmount Controller. The unit will drive itself to the pre-programmed stow position. The
stow button is equipped with a Blue LED indicator light that turns on as an indicator that the
positioner reached the stow position. To unstow the positioner, press the momentary push-
button labelled "Unstow" on the front panel of the Rackmount Controller. 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 completed they will override the Stow/Unstow
commands and stop the positioner from finishing the stow or unstow process.
In conjunction with the Blue LED there is a digital discrete output signal that becomes active on
the 4-pin terminal block connector when the positioner reaches the stow position. This is a stow
confirmation output that can be used as an interlock when integrating a positioner and controller
into a larger system. See Section 3.7 for more details. The Stow and Unstow push-button
controls also control a series of discrete outputs on the 9-pin terminal block connector on the
back of the Rackmount controller. See Section 3.6 for more details.
