Replacing the Azimuth Limit
Switch Assembly

1. Rotate the antenna assembly, by hand, clockwise

until it stops.

2. Remove the PCB cover as explained in “Removing

the PCB Cover” on page 54.

3. At the main PCB, cut the black and white wires

from the azimuth limit switch Molex connector
(see Figure 4-3 on page 55). Leave about an inch of
the wires still connected at the Molex connector for
later reference.

4. At the azimuth limit switch cover, remove the hot

melt holding the black and white wires in place
(see Figure 4-7).

5. Remove the three #6-32 retaining screws from the

limit switch cover and set aside (see Figure 4-7).
Lift the cover to access the limit switch
underneath.

6. Remove the four #8-32 screws securing the limit

switch to the cover and set aside.

7. Replace the azimuth limit switch. Attach the new

switch to the cover using the #8-32 screws, flat
washers, and cable clamp.

When rotating the antenna by
hand, go slowly! Hitting the
mechanical stops with excessive
force will damage the azimuth limit
switch.
