           the AZ axis for a couple seconds to clear the                        
           fault.

0421-0630 *SC AZ#1 armature overcurrent fault. Fault not         15766  100  129
           cleared by disabling AZ axis or by putting antenna                   
           in standby mode so a fuse is probably blown.                         
           Stowing antenna and calling out site tech.
