Operation

If the value is below 1000, the resolution of the encoder is low and the

controller will not provide 0.1 cm resolution, even though the display shows

that digit. If the value has gone past 9999, the encoder has too many counts

per meter and the controller cannot correct for it. In this case, contact

ETS-Lindgren for assistance.

5. Enter this value for the encoder calibration value and reset the limits and

position information.

6. Test the MiniMast by moving it to a known distance and comparing the

display to the measured distance traveled. It may be necessary to adjust

the encoder calibration value up or down slightly depending on the result.

Antenna Mounting Instructions

Antennas may be mounted to the assembly using either the 7/8–14 thread which

is common on ETS-Lindgren brand antennas, or the 1/4–20 thread which is

another common size. The antenna should be mounted on the boom as close to

the carrier as possible. Insert the mounting knobs through the holes on the boom

and align the mounting holes on the antenna with the threaded end of the

mounting knobs. Secure the antenna in place by tightening the threaded knobs

into the receptacle mounting holes on the antenna.

Antennas may also be mounted using the stinger mount adapter included with

the assembly.
