Step 1: Testing the magnetic limit switch.
a. Verify that the Elevation limit switch is connected to the wiring harness.
b. Place an external magnet at the tip of the Elevation limit switch as shown below. Please note if
a magnet is not available, the GPS antenna or the Azimuth Motor supplied with the mobile
platform can be used.
c. From the iNetVu Mobile 7000 Controls screen does the Elevation ST come ON?
If YES, it concludes the limit switch is too far from the magnet and it needs to be brought closer to the
magnet block until the Elevation ST comes on. See Page 53 of the iNetVu Service Manual for more
details.
If NO, proceed to step 2.
Step 2: Testing the Wiring Harness.
a. Disconnect the Elevation limit switch from the internal wiring harness and place a paper clip or
a looped wire in the connector going to the wiring harness.
b. From the iNetVu Mobile 7000 Controls screen does the Elevation ST come ON?
If YES, this concludes the Switch has failed
If NO, proceed to step 3
