NIRC-2 Motor Stall Faults  

Occasionally you may encounter a "stall fault" on one of the NIRC-2 motors. This most commonly happens on the camera stage, which carries three large cameras. For example, as of this writing (January 2002) attempting to select the narrow camera may induce a stall fault. The solution to this is to move the camera to the wide camera and then move it to the narrow camera.
