hazardous as defined in Article 500 of the National Electric Code.
Crush Hazard! Death or serious injury could result if mast fails suddenly. Do not stand directly beneath the
mast or its payload. Be certain payload is properly installed and secured.
Burst Hazard! Over pressurizing mast will trip safety valve and could result in death or se rious injury. Do not
exceed maximum operating pressure of 20 psi (138 kPa) for Standard Duty masts. Keep personnel clear of
safety valve exhaust direction.
Fire Hazard! Cleaning solvent, used for maintenance, is flammable and can be explosive resulting in death
or serious injury. Do not smoke. Use cleaning solvent in a well-ventilated area. Keep cleaning solvent away
from ignition sources. Always store cleaning solvent in the proper marked container.
Relocation Hazard! Relocating the mast during operation or after extension could result in death or serious
injury. Do not relocate the mast during operation or while extended. This applies especially to masts
mounted to vehicles. Operate the mast only if the vehicle is stationary and the vehicle engine is off.
Mast Extension Hazard! Extending mast into obstructions could result in death or serious injury and could
render the mast inoperable and partially extended. Before applying power and operating the mast, be certain
there is sufficient clearance above and to all sides of the expected location of the fully extended mast and
payload. Keep all persons clear of mast and mast extension. Do not lean directly over the mast.
Mounting Structure Hazard! Mounting mast into a structure unable to resist the forces generated from
customer-specific loading scenario could result in death or serio us injury and could damage the mast. Before
operation, be certain mounting structure is capable of resisting forces generate d from all loa ding and

1.5 TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Power Requirements
The DC power for the Chief is supplied through direct connection to the base circuit board. The DC
power is internally protected with a 20 amp auto-resetting circuit breaker. The Chief will operate from
either 12 or 24 volt DC power with no customer changes necessary. The electronic system has built in
reverse polarity protection. For optimum performance, a minimum of 11 volts is required at the Chief
base. Long runs of cable can introduce power loss For long runs, it may be necessary to add an
intermediate junction box in the DC cable so that DC power can be applied closer to the Chief.

2.5 CONNECTING THE PUSH/PULL SWITCH (JUNCTION BOX)
While a two switch implementation of this circuit can be realized, the use of a Push/Pull switch is highly
preferred. One switch available for non-NFPA installations is a Square-D 9001K R9RH13. For NFPA
compliant installations, Square-D part number 9001SKR8RH25 should be u sed. Other ma nufacturers of
Industrial Control Pilot Devices should have equivalent switches. This switch is available as part of a prewired kit (part # 913316 for NFPA or part #4204201 for non-NFPA installations) from Will-Burt. Refer to the
schematics in section 4.4 for wiring detail.
2.6 CONNECTING THE REMOTE CONTROL(S)
Hand Held Remote Control (HHRC)
In the event that the accessory kit (part # 913316 or 4204201) is not used, a suitable connector mu st be
supplied by the customer to mate with the connector of the handheld remote control (HH RC ). The co nnector
on the HHRC is an ITT Cannon CA3106E14S-2P-B-F80-A232. Please refer to Table 2-2 and Figure 4-7 for
wiring schematic.
Pin B of the HHRC should connect to pin A of the DC Power/input connector. Pin C of the HHRC should
connect to pin B of the DC Power/input connector. Pin A of the HHRC should connect to pin C of the DC
Power/input connector. Pin D of the HHRC should connect to pin D of the DC Power/input connector.

2.7 CONNECTING THE INTERLOCK CONTACT (OPTIONAL)
The Chief provides an interlock relay contact output to enhance integration into vehicle safety circuitry. This
relay output is from a bi-stable (latching) relay whose contacts close when the unit has completely stowed.
This type of scenario gives the best failsafe condition in the event of a broken wire. Its state is not affected by
whether or not there is power to the mast. This isolated contact is capable of carrying up to 2 amperes and is
available on pins J4-8 and 9. Please refer to the schematics in section 4.4. Its usage is at the discretio n of the
integrator. It can be used in conjunction with a customer-supplied relay to drive a flashing warning light. (refer
to Figure 2-6)
Some customers may require preventing operation of the Chief unless other conditions are first met. An
example might be having the parking brake set. This can be accomplished by inserting an isolated contact in
series with the stop circuit of the Push/Pull switch. Inserting these contacts between the violet wire connected
to pin J4-6 base circuit board and the KA-1 contact of the Push/Pull switch breaks continuity and thus will
immediately stop operation of the Chief and prevent further operation until continuity is restored through the
contacts. Please refer to the schematics in section 4.4.
Revision 1 2-5

2.9 INSTALLING THE WARNING LIGHT
As required by NFPA regulations, a red flashing or rotating light, located in the driving compartm ent, must b e
automatically illuminated whenever the vehicle parking brake is not fully engaged and the light tower is
extended. The warning light is wired into the system via the interlock contact described above. A customer
provided, normally closed pilot relay should be installed on pins J4-8 and 9 of the base circuit board. See the
wiring schematics in section 4.4. A customer supplied flashing relay and lamp may then be installed in the
driving compartment such that the driver can see the lamp. One example using a Bosch relay is shown
below.

2.10 MULTIPLEX SYSTEMS OPERATING AT 24 VOLTS
When operating at 24 volts, the Night Scan Chief “chops” the voltage sent to the 12 vdc motors is the system.
As a result of this starting and stopping, voltage might be fed back through the power wires and into the
power supply. In some instances, this may lead to unexpected behavior in a multiplex system. In order to
mitigate this back feeding of voltage, an 820uF capacitor (Will Burt Part Number 204001) can be placed
across the positive and negative input terminals (TB3-5 and TB3-6) on the base circuit board. Please refer to
wiring schematic Figure 4-8. Note the direction of the capacitor for installation.
2.11 PRE-OPERATIONAL CHECK
Before beginning installation, make certain that the area is free
of overhead power lines and other unwanted sources of
electricity. Follow OSHA safety regulations when working near
energized power lines. Be sure to allow sufficient clearance on
all sides of mast to allow for side sway.
For outdoor use only. Do not use in areas that have been
classified as hazardous as defined in Article 500 of the

present. Contact with combustible materials can cause
ignition resulting in fire or explosion.
Before operating the Chief, be sure that there are no overhead obstructions and that there are no po wer
lines within 20 feet of the mast. Visually inspect the unit for any damage. If damage is apparent, do not
use the mast. Have it serviced prior to use. Check for any objects which might obstruct motion of the
mast or cause binding. Remove any material that may hinder mast function.

3.1 THEORY OF OPERATION – MECHANICAL
Night Scan Chief – Mast
The Night Scan Chief operates using a DC powered actuator to drive the mast from nest to 90 degrees.
When at 90 degrees, a magnetic sensor detects the actuator position and prevents further driv ing of the
actuator. The sensor also notifies the operator through the Remote Control(s) that certain RCP function s
are available. The compressor assembly included in the base will receive pow er and pre s surize the mast
when the up button is depressed. If, at any time, power to the unit is lost, the exhaust valve opens,
exhausting all air from the mast.
As the mast is nested, the base control looks for indication from a magnetic switch that the mast has fully
retracted and may be safely restored to its fully nested (horizontal) position. If the “double click”
unattended stow sequence was not used, the RCP will begin the autostow sequ ence to insure that the
RCP is properly positioned for engagement with the saddle. If the autostow “double click” sequence was
used, the RCP will have properly positioned itself as the mast descended prior to horizontal nesting into
the saddle.

The RCP provides pan and tilt functions upon command from the Remote Control(s). DC powered gear
motors turn the shafts until an opaque flag in the assembly reaches a photo interrupter. At this time, the

reached in that direction.

3.2 THEORY OF OPERATION – ELECTRICAL
The Chief control is based on a distributed intelligence control structure. Each main section of the Chief
has a circuit board with an embedded micro controller. These sections are: the Base, the R CP, and the
Remote Control(s). These boards “talk” to each other over a multi-drop RS-485 serial communications
link.
Another key component of the control is an initialization circuit. In an NFPA compliant installation, a
completely stowed Night Scan Chief draws zero current and cannot be extended or operated until the
initiate circuit is engaged. Included in this initialization circuit is an input for a safety interlock. This can be
used for an emergency stop, or other interlock function such as a “Park/Neutral” switch from the vehicle
transmission. Relay contacts inserted in the violet wire coming from pin J4-6 of the base circuit board
function to inhibit operation of the Chief (See schematics in section 4.4)
Additionally, a bi-stable (latching) contact closure is provided that indicates that the mast is properly
stowed. It will close when the mast is properly stowed. If the mast is not stowed, the contact will be open.
Even if the emergency stop feature is used prior to the mast completely stowing, the contact will still
remain open. If the Night Scan has been stopped using the emergency stop button or by some other
interruption of power, the initiate circuit will need to be activated again in order to continue operation.
When stowing the mast to horizontal position, the control monitors the current of the actuator. When the
mast lowers, trips the Mast Nested limit switch, and comes up against the mechanical re sistance of the
saddle; it senses it, considers itself stowed, and shuts itself down. This ensures a certain amount of preload on the RCP saddle.
If at any time during the operation of the mast an unexpected control situation occurs, the mast will stop
any movement and a fault
message will be displayed on the Remote Control(s) display. Clearing the fault
is accomplished by pushing the Push/Pull switch or momentarily interrupting power in some other way.
Then the control may be re-initiated and operated again.
3.3 PUSH/PULL SWITCH – NFPA INSTALLATIONS
All operation of a completely stowed mast must be preceded by proper initialization. The initiate switch must
be momentarily closed to power-up the Night Scan. When the Will-Burt Accessory Kit is used, the Push/Pull
switch is located on the junction box. It is used to perform two functions. First, it can be used to “initiate” the
Revision 1 3-3
Page 26
Night Scan Chief
control by pulling the switch operator. This is a momentary function, and the switch will return itself to a
neutral position on its own. Secondly, it functions as an emergency stop when the switch operator is pushed
all the way in. This is also a momentary function, and the switch will return itself to a neutral position on its
own. When using Will-Burt’s accessory kit push/pull switch, accidental initiating is extremely unlikely since it
would require pulling the switch button. Even with this, the Remote Control(s) would have to be subsequently
pushed to get any action. In the unlikely event that the initiate switch were engaged, the Night Scan will power
itself down if no Remote Control action occurs within thirty seconds. The “Push” portion of the Push/Pull
switch functions as an Emergency Stop. If it is pushed, the mast will immediately be disconnected from power
and stop.
the mast to vent.
It should be noted that prematurely disconnecting power in this way will immediately cause
Other interlock contacts could be inserted into this circuit to provide additional safety. The
control also monitors the initiate input, and if it sees that this input is present for a prolonged period of time;
the control will stop the mast and appropriate error code will be displayed (Err, 1.09). This is a preventative
measure to ensure the initiate input is not hot-wired. Once the mast has been initiated, the Remote Control
must then be used to begin raising the mast within thirty seconds or the control will shut itself down. If the
mast has been initiated and raised any amount, the control will remain powered until the mast is fully stowed,
the emergency stop function is used, or the power is somehow otherwise interrupted.

All operation of a completely stowed mast must be preceded by proper initialization. The initiate switch must
be closed to power-up the Night Scan. When the Will-Burt Accessory Kit is used, the Push/Pull switch is
located on the junction box. It is used to perform two functions. First, it can be used to “initiate” the control by
pulling the switch operator. Secondly, it functions as an emergency stop when the switch operator is pushed
all the way in. When using Will-Burt’s accessory kit push/pull switch, accidental initiating is extremely unlikely
since it would require pulling the switch button. The “Push” portion of the Push/Pull switch functions as an
Emergency Stop. If it is pushed, the mast will immediately be disconnected from power and stop.
be noted that prematurely disconnecting power in this way will immediately cause the mast to vent.
It should
Other interlock contacts could be inserted into this circuit to provide additional safety.
3.5 REMOTE CONTROLS (HAND HELD)
Wired Hand Held Remote Control
• The Remote Control accepts switch activations from the operator and translates them into
serial commands for transmission to the base control board via the RS-485 link. If the operator
engages a switch, the Remote Control will appropriately send commands repeatedly as long as
the operator continues to engage that switch. The Base control will pass along appropriate
serial commands to the RCP in response to the Remote Control(s). Additionally, variou s states
of the system will be passed to the Remote Control so that button status LEDs can give proper
indication of the state of the Night Scan. An example of this is that the LED next to the “Mast
Down” button will not be lit unless it is appropriate to lower the mast. Upon first beginning to
raise the mast, it will be noted that the “Mast Down” button does not become active until a
certain amount of movement has been accomplished. This is to ensure that there is enough
downward travel available for proper stowing of the mast. If the button status LED for a
particular button is not lit, that button will not function. Another reason for a button status LED
not being lit could be an actuator reaching the extent of its travel (or limit switch).
• Two special functions are implemented in software whereby the operator can initiate an
unattended lowering and stowing of the mast, or an unattended partial raising of the mast. The
Autostow is accomplished by two rapid sequential activations of the “Mast Down” button within
a half second period of time. This automatic unattended sequence can be aborted at any time
by a single activation of the “Mast Up” button or any other button on the Remote Control(s). The
Revision 1 3-4
Page 27
Night Scan Chief
Auto-Up function is accomplished by two rapid sequential activations of the “Mast Up” button
within a half second period of time. This automatic unattended sequence can be aborted at any
time by a single activation of the “Mast Down” button or any other button on the Remote
Control(s). The Auto-Up function will only bring the Chief from the horizontal stowed position up
to the 90º position and turn the lights on. It will not raise the mast any further vertically on its
own. The Auto-Up function is not available on the non-NFPA Chief.
Wireless Held Remote Control
• The wireless remote control accepts switch activations from the operator and transmits to the base
control board. If the operator engages a switch, the Remote Control will appropriately send
commands repeatedly as long as the operator continues to engage that switch. The Base control will
pass along appropriate serial commands to the RCP in response t o the Remote Control(s). Feedback
in the form of LED’s is not available with the wireless remote control.
3.6 RAISING THE MAST
Operation of the mast using the Remote Control(s) is fairly intuitive. A typical operational sequence could
be as follows:
• Pull the Push/Pull Initiate button.
• Press and hold the “Mast Up” button on the Remote Control(s) until the mast has fully
extended.
• Press the desired Pan and Tilt buttons until the lights are facing appropriately.
• Press the Light and Aux light buttons momentarily to turn the desired lights on and off.
• Press the “Mast Down” button until the mast has completely stowed.
Note: In the Night Scan Chief, during the process of raising the mast, the mast will first be inclined to a
position perpendicular to its mounting surface by an actuator. Once the control senses it is in this position,
air pressure will be applied to the tube sections to raise the mast further into the air. Lowering the mast is
in reverse order. Air is vented from the tube sections reducing its height. Then the actuator declines the
mast until it is finally stowed.
Auto-up Function (wired handheld remote control only)
The “Auto-up” function can be initiated by giving two quick successive depressions of the “Mast Up”
button (within ½ second). The mast will then raise to the 90° position and automatically turn on both
banks of lights. This automatic sequence can be aborted by pushing any of the buttons on the Remote
Control(s) at any point during the Auto-up sequence. The mast will not extend up by itself, but will await
further operator input from the Remote Control(s).
3.7 AIMING THE REMOTE CONTROL POSITIONER
The positioner can be “aimed” by utilizing the pan and tilt buttons located on the Remote Control(s). The
Pan Left and Pan Right buttons allow horizontal movement, while there are independent Tilt Up and Tilt
Down functions for vertical adjustment of each side of the RCP.
3.8 STOWING THE MAST
There are two methods of stowing the mast. The normal method involves pressing and holding the “Mast
Down” button until the mast is fully stowed and the control shuts itself off. A second method, available on
Revision 1 3-5
Page 28
Night Scan Chief
the hardwired remote control) involves giving two quick successive depressions of the “Mast Down”
button (within ½ second). This will initiate an unattended complete stowing of the mast. This Auto-stow
mode can be interrupted and canceled at any time by pressing any of the buttons on the Remote Control.
Note: To ensure proper seating of the RCP in Night Scan Chief saddle, the control watches for an
increase of current from the actuator. Once this has been satisfied, the control will shut itself off on NFPA
compliant installations. For non-NFPA installations, it will be necessary to manually shut off power by
pushing the Push/Pull switch on the junction box. If by chance there is no increase in current and the
actuator shuts off because of its internal limit switch, a fault message will be displayed.
Once the control is shut off, the Night Scan is totally disconnected from power, and the “Mast Stowed”
safety interlock contact closes signaling it is safe to move the vehicle.
Be sure that no buttons are
illuminated on the remote after you believe it is stowed. Illuminated buttons indicate that the unit
stowed. After making certain that the unit is properly stowed in the saddle, unplug the remote
is not
control and stow it where it will not be damaged in transport. Unplugging the remote will remove any
possibility that the Chief could become active and extend unexpectedly.
3.9 EMERGENCY STOW (LOSS OF POWER):
Make sure all power has been disconnected from the Night
Scan prior to manually lowering mast.
Make sure lights have cooled completely before manually
panning or tilting the RCP.
In the event of power loss or an unrecoverable error condition, the Night Scan Chief will automatically
exhaust all air and nest. However, the mast will NOT return to its fully stowed, horizontal position. This
must be accomplished manually. It is required that two people perform this operation as the mast is very
heavy and can cause severe injury or death if not done with extreme caution. It may be necessary to
manually pan the RCP so that when it is manually nested, the lights do not make contact with the
mounting surface or the saddle. To manually pan the unit, firmly grasp the RCP by the horizontal shafts
slowly rotate to a point perpendicular to the length of the base. Additionally, it may be necessary to
and
manually tilt the lights to prevent damage when stowing the mast. Tilt the lights by grasping the top and
bottom of the light bar and
slowly rotating the lights such that they face down when fully stowed.
Support the mast before removing shoulder screw! Once
removed, the mast and light assembly is free to fall.
Remove the right side base cover (opposite look up light). Secure the mast in an upright position to
prevent it from falling freely. Remove the knurled shaft from the bottom of the actuator. CAREFULLY
lower the mast down into the saddle. Secure the mast in this nested position before moving the vehicle.

CHAPTER 4
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
4.1 INTRODUCTION
This section of the manual describes routine maintenance procedures and covers gen eral service
information. Refer to Chapter 5 for exploded views of the Night Scan Chief and the accompanying Table s
with item descriptions and part numbers, which may be used for ordering replacement parts.
4.2 SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
Cleaning and Lubrication - Mast
Will-Burt pneumatic telescoping masts should be cleaned and lubricated o n a regular basis to insure
smooth operation and to prolong useful life. This maintenance should be perform ed typically about once a
month depending upon local environmental conditions and frequency of use. Signs that cleaning and
lubrication are needed can be:
• A noticeable gritty film on the exterior surfaces of the mast sections
• Erratic extension or retraction of the mast
• Noisy operation of the mast
• Sticking of one or more mast sections when mast is extending or retracting
A pneumatic telescoping mast is a pressure vessel.
Caution must be exercised to stay clear when the mast
is being extended. Do not lean directly over the mast.
Proper eye protection should be worn when working on
the mast.
PROCEDURE:
1. One person operating hand held remote control should slowly pressurize the mast just enoug h to
extend the top mast section. Another person may need to hold down the larger mast section
collars to assure the proper sequence of extension. Release “Mast Up” button as soon as the
mast section is up.
2. Wipe down the extended mast section u s ing a non-abrasive cleanser or solvent such as lacquer
thinner. Do not allow the cleaning fluid or solvent to run down inside the collar.
3. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the next larger mast section .
4. Inject approximately 1/2 oz. of TMD Mast Lubricant* or a lightweight machine oil into the wee p
hole (drain) of the exposed mast section. The weep holes are located app roximately 10 inches
below the collar on each tube except the top one.
5. Repeat steps 2, 3 and 5 for each of the remaining mast sections.
Revision 1 4-1
Page 32
Night Scan Chief
6. Exhaust the mast completely. Allow several minutes for the lubricant to settle and spread around
the wear ring and seal at the bottom of each mast section.
Keep hands clear of the descending collars while the mast is
being lowered to avoid pinching.
7. Extend the mast again one section at a time in the same sequence (smallest to largest). Wipe off
any excess lubricant which flows out of the weep holes.
NOTE: Do not lubricate the exterior of the mast, as this will cause it to attract dust and
contaminants from the air.
* TMD Mast Lubricant is specifically formulated for cold weather use, but is suitable for year around use.
Regular winter maintenance and the frequent use of TMD Mast Lubricant should signifi cantly reduce the
potential for mast freeze ups.
Cleaning Night Scan Base and Remote Control Positioner (RCP)
Make sure lights are completely cool before attempting to
clean.
The exterior of the RCP and Night Scan base should be wiped down periodically to remove dirt and road
grime using a soft cloth or sponge and a mild solution of soapy water. The lenses of the lights should be
cleaned using standard glass cleaner and a soft towel.
4.3 ADJUSTMENTS
Adjusting the 90º Proximity Switch
The proximity switch (sensor) is intended to stop the actuator when the mast is at 90 degrees when being
raised. It senses the magnet that is threaded into the clevis and signals the base circuit board to cut
power when the actuator is in the correct position. In the event that this switch needs adjusted (i.e. after
replacing the actuator) to stop the mast at 90 degrees, the following procedure must be followed. Use
Figure 4-1 as an aid to identify the components.
1. Make certain that the Chief is level.
2. Remove the right hand base cover (opposite the loo k up light)
3. Loosen the upper jam nut to lower the switch approximately 1/8”.
4. Raise the mast to 90 degrees. Verify that the mast is plumb using a level or check to see that it is
square to the sheet metal side plate on the base.
5. Raise the switch until it senses the actuat or. This will be indicated by 1) an audible “click” of the
exhaust valve closing, 2) lights on the hand held will change state, indicating that RCP functions are
available and 3) the LED on the base circuit board will change from green to yellow.
6. Secure the switch in position using the upper and lower jam nuts.

Adjusting the Magnetic Switch
The Magnetic Switch is located on the mast base tube. In the Night Scan Chief, the magnetic switch
senses a magnet located in the top tube and serves to indicate that the mast has exhausted all air and
that it is safe to nest into the saddle. If the switch is out of adjustment, it will prevent the mast from
nesting to the saddle from the 90 degree position.
by verifying that the collars are stacked with no gaps between them.
It is important that the mast has properly nested
If the collars are not properly
stacked see Table 4-5 for further instructions. If the switch is found to require adjustment, it will most
commonly need to be moved upward (toward the RCP) on the mast. The magnet is located at the lower
end and side of the top tube. It is not visible outside the mast.
The following procedure must be followed to adjust the magnetic switch.
1. Loosen the band clamp securing the swi t ch to the base tube. Move the switch up approximately 1/8”
and tighten band clamp.
2. Initiate the mast, if necessary, and press the down button the hand held remote. If the mast does not
nest, repeat the adjustment until it does. A small piece of steel or iron filings may be used to help
locate the magnet.
3. If repeated attempts do not succeed, hold a magnet u p to the switch and press the do wn button. If
the mast begins to nest, continue repeating the adjustment until the switch has sensed the magnet.
4. If the mast will not nest when a magnet is held to the switch, ch eck the wiring to the circuit board for
loose or disconnected wires. See schematics in section 4.4. If the wiring is intact, replace the
magnetic switch.
Resetting the RCP Home Position
The Chief unit is shipped with the lights in home position. Home position is established by setting small
flags in the RCP that engage photo interrupters on the RCP board. It orients the lights such that the light
bars are parallel to the axis of the mast and are facing downward when nested. On all models, the RCP
shafts should contact the saddle simultaneously during nesting when correctly set. It should be noted
that having the RCP covers off could cause improper RCP operation when outdoors. This procedure
should be performed indoors. To set the home position, the following procedure must be obse rved.
DISCONNECT ALL AC POWER TO THE CHIEF!
1.
2. Initiate the mast and raise it to the 90-degree position. The hand held remote should show both left
and right tilt up functions are available and the pan left function is available.
3. Remove the RCP covers to access the flags.
4. Refer to Figure 4-3 for reference. The flags are attached to the timing rings on the horizontal and
vertical shaft gears.
5. Once the set screws are loose, pan and tilt the unit to the correct ho me position. Be careful that the
flags do not come into contact when panning and tilting, they may become bent.
6. It is important that the flags engage the correct photo interrupter when setting the home position, see
Figure 4-3. Turn the timing ring on the right horizontal shaft such that it rotates down toward the
upper photo interrupter. As you approach the interrupter, watch the wired hand held remote. As
soon as the tilt down LED goes out, stop rotating the ring and tighten the set screw. To set the pan
home position, turn the timing ring counterclockwise (looking from above the RCP) until the pan right
LED goes out. Tighten the adjustment screw to secure the ring.
7. Pan and tilt the unit until the second set screw in each ring is accessible and tighten.
8. Stow the mast, watching for the lights to be oriented as de scribe d in the beginning of this section.

Chief base boards require that the DIP switch be set appropriately to determine operational mode. RCP
boards require that the DIP switch be set appropriately to determine operational mode. This takes the place of
setting the operational mode through software by changing a variable.
To set the operational mode for the Base board, locate the DIP switch S2 (see Figure 4-4) and set the DIP
switch as follows:
• Position 1 - DO NOT CLOSE
• Position 2 - Close if the system is a non-NFPA compliant installation

4.5 TROUBLESHOOTING ELECTRICAL
Operating Environment
One of the most common causes of improper operation is trying to operate outside of the stated system
requirements. (See section Table 1-1for DC power requirements). A good method of checking the voltage
at the Chief is to connect a voltmeter to the wires in the junction box powering the Remote Control(s)
(pins B and C of J1 (see schematics in section 4.4). This will give a good indication of power loss across
the DC cabling. For long runs, it may be necessary to add an intermediate junction box in the DC cabl e so
that DC power can be applied closer to the Chief.
Fault Codes
Fault codes are presented on the LED alphanumeric display on the wireless remote control. Whe n faults
occur, all operation ceases. Faults may only be cleared by killing power to the Chief. This may be
accomplished by momentarily pushing in the Push/Pull switch and then re-initializing. Additionally, the
fault code is also flashed by a red status LED located on the Base board. For instance, if the fault code
were 3,07, then the LED would flash three times, pause, flash seven times, pause longer, and the repeat
the flash sequence. During normal operation, the LED should flash a slow steady on/off pattern. The
codes are as follows:
4.5.1.1 Base Board

Warning Codes
Warning codes are presented on the LED eight-digit alphanumeric display. The codes are a combination
of numbers that identify both the general location of the warning, and the type of warning. The first of two
numbers is a single digit number indicating which board. The second number is a two-digit number
indicating the warning. Warning codes differ from Fault codes in that they do not require clearing. If the
condition causing the warning goes away, so does the warning. At that point, normal operation continues.
The codes are as follows:

SOFTWARE REVISIONS
7.1 INTRODUCTION
There are several circuit boards in the Chief system. Each has its own mi croco ntroller with associated
software. A person may “query” the software revisions by simultaneously holding down both Remote
Control tilt buttons (up, down). The revision levels can then be viewed as they scroll across the
alphanumeric display. A typical display might be “1:4.3 2:4.2 3:4.2”. This would indicate that board 1
(the base board) has revision 4.3, board 2 (the RCP board) has revision 4.2, and board 3 (a Remote
Control board) has revision 4.2. To date, all software revisions are backward compatible, and require no
hardware changes.
