GPS Operation
MESA Controller
After making all the proper connections to the MESA Controller, turn ON the power
using the POWER button. The unit will begin internal self checks. One of those checks will be
to see if it has a valid GPS read. This could take a few minutes.
•
When power is first applied to the MESA Controller it will immediately begin to
acquire GPS satellites.
•
When sufficient GPS satellites are detected the GPS LED will illuminate
indicating that the system has established contact with the GPS satellites and is
ready for proper operation.
•
Press the FIND button and the dish will begin its search routine and locate the
preprogrammed satellite.
•
If the FIND button is depressed before the GPS LED is on solid the system will
not activate until it does or if no GPS information is received within 5 minutes the
system will activate and use the GPS information that was stored previously and
use that data to acquire the targeted satellite.
