5.3.2 Power-up procedure
4. Switch on the ACU. The unit starts up and goes through an
initialization procedure:
•ACU POST
• ADU Initializing
•ADU POST
•READY
This may take some time (up to a couple of minutes).
5. The SAILOR 100 GX is ready to be calibrated (for first time power
up) or receive data from the GMU (when in normal operation).
The LEDs Power and Fail/Pass are steady green, the LED Logon is
off. For further information on status indicators see Status
signalling with LEDs and status messages on page 8-11.
Make sure there are no hardware failures or error codes present,
check the display of the ACU for events. For more information on
error codes and events see System messages on page C-1.
6. Make an azimuth and a cable loss calibration, see Calibration on
page 6-4.
7. Switch on the GMU.
For more detailed step-by-step instructions, see the chapter
Configuration on page 6-1.
5.3.3 Initialisation steps in daily use
Once the system is configured and a satellite profile is active, the
