3.6.4 Enabling Power / Led STATUS
After the SOLYS 2 has been levelled (3.5), the power cable is assembled (3.6) the power can be switched on.
The SOLYS 2 will start its initializing mode.
During this initializing mode, the SOLYS 2 will check for any hardware errors, presence of the GPS signal,
and in additional it will make an orientation lap to check for any blockades and to check if the cable length
of the SOLYS 2 (and possible instruments) is sufficient. This rotation will be performed each time the SOLYS2
is powered up.
Important:
-The orientation lap was added in software version released at the end of 2009.
-Before the orientation lap starts, the SOLYS 2 will stand still for one minute in its
home position.
Experienced users can use this one minute of time to mount an optional side
mounting plate. (chapter 4.1)
-During the orientation lap, the SOLYS 2 will move 270° to the left starting at home
position, and will move 270° to the right starting at home position.
Please make sure the cables have the correct length to perform this test
