HOW TO MANUALLY RE-START 26M DRIVES

If the antenna stows for any reason - wind, source=stow, storm etc, the drives MUST BE RESTARTED at Mt Pleasant MANUALLY

  • TURN KEY CLOCKWISE TO ‘JOYSTICK’
  • PRESS ‘POWER ON’ (if power is on already turn off first)
  • WAIT UNTIL ‘METERS’ ARE CENTRED (10-15mins) AND ‘Y READY’, ‘X READY’ LIGHTS ARE ON.
  • GO TO NEWSMERD DESK (in main control room, near door to bedroom and toilet)
  • LOOK FOR ICON (looks like little gear, maybe top right of right most screen) CALLED VDESK
  • OPEN IT AND TYPE ‘abort’ THEN enter. THEN AGAIN TYPE ‘abort’ THEN enter. THIS WILL KILL ALL ACTIVITY.
  • NOW TYPE ‘drvon’ enter (drive-on).
