30 | Operation
Pre-Operational Checks
• Verify that the power lines are connected to the motor base for the MiniMast,
controller, and any other equipment that will be used to test.
• Verify the fiber optic cables are connected to the motor base.
• Verify the limit fibers are connected to the motor base.
• Verify the antenna connected to the boom is securely mounted in place.
• Connect the feed cable to the antenna.
• Verify the load of the antenna is within the operating specifications.
Before moving the carrier on the mast up or down using the
controller or the IR remote, make sure no one is standing near
the boom.
Start-Up and Safe Shutdown
After completing the pre-operational checks, the controller may be turned on by
pressing the power button. See the Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller (or next
generation ETS-Lindgren controller, if applicable) manual for operating
instructions.
Prior to shutting the MiniMast down, move the carrier to an accessible height for
the removal of the antenna. Make sure the unit has come to a complete stop.
Press the power button on the controller to turn it off. Finally, remove power from
the MiniMast.
Infrared (IR) Controller
The motor base features an infrared receiver that will respond to a universal
remote control programmed to a specific protocol. Any remote that continuously
transmits and contains the proper TV protocol can be used.
The basic functions supported are as follows:
Button Command
Power Emergency Stop
Channel Up Up for linear positioner
Channel Down Down for linear positioner
