1. Electrical Installation Instructions

B. EMERGENCY STOP DURING DEPLOY OR STOW

If it is necessary to immediately stop the StreamMaster monitor during the deploy or stow sequence,

activate any switch on the control panel and the unit will stop moving (E-Stop). To continue operation after

an emergency stop, operate any switch or press the Stow or Deploy switch to continue the sequence.

C. MANUAL OVERRIDE CONTROLS

The manual override control is to be used only when the power to the monitor is off. A override crank

with a 1/4" hex drive is provided and attached to the monitor for use on both the horizontal and vertical

override controls. To use the manual override, insert the hex drive end of the override crank into the

hexagon shaped hole on the shaft end opposite the motor. Rotate the override crank in the desired

direction to aim the monitor.

WARNING: When the override crank is no longer in use, put it back in the storage position. Do

not use the electric controls when the override crank is being used or is in position for use.

D. LEARN MODE

The learn mode allows the operator to teach the monitor a new final position for the nozzle in the stowed position.

To learn a new stowed position:

1. Start with the monitor in a deployed position.

2. Press and hold the Stow button. The monitor will stow into the default stowed position. If at any

point you release the Stow button, you must start over.

3. When the monitor comes to a stop, continue holding the stow button and operate the up or down button

to the desired elevated position, then operate the left or right button to the desired rotation position.

4. Release the Stow button, this will be the new stowed position.

Note: There is no learn mode for the Deploy Function. See DIP Switch 3 and 4.

USING SIX WIRING STOW CONTROLLER

a) The Six Wire Controller was developed to reduce wires and hence reduce slip rings on the

turntable for an Aerial. The premise of this is to reduce the lower controller wires for a Stow Controller from 10

wires to 7 or 6 wires (6 wires if the supply voltage come from a different source.) This was done by removing

the LED (1 wire) and using multiple signals to replace the Stow and Deploy signal (2 wires). When the Stow

button is activated, three signals are sent to the Logic Box, Fog, Stream and Right. When the Deploy button is

activated, Fog Stream, and Left are sent to the Logic Box. The program in the Logic Box will recognize these

signals as Stow or Deploy when DIP Switch 1 is On.

b) Programming a new Stow position. When using a Six Wire Controller (Dip Switch 1 is On), only the

Lower & Raise can be used to learn a new Stow position. Left and Right cannot be used because the Stow

switch uses the Right function to indicate Stow (program will not allow it.) Therefore, to learn a new Stow

position in the left or right direction, a jumper wire must be used to act like a single Stow switch. The jumper

wire must be placed from TB1 #24 (supply voltage) to #21 (Stow). When the monitor finishes the stow

sequence and stops at the default stow location, continue hold the jumper wire in place and use the Left,

Right, Lower or Raise button to move that monitor to the new desired stow position. Release the buttons and

remove the jumper wire and the new learned stow position will be programmed.
