Mast Erect / Lower Function Inhibited
Diagnosis & fix steps
LOGIC: Mast Backstay Support Cylinder Length Sensor Implausible.
ACTION: Check draw-wire linear transducer mounted along backstay cylinder. Verify 4–20mA feedback against actual physical stroke length; calibrate mast geometry zero-points in Litronic service mode.
Red Seal field insights
Kinematic Geometry: Litronic calculates leader center-of-gravity dynamically; sensor disparity blocks backstay adjustment to prevent tipping or leader structural overload.
