Problem

Possible Cause(s)

Solution(s)

Newton does not start up

Batteries are empty

Exchange to fully charged batteries

No external power con-
nected

Connect external power supply to New-
ton

Dominion does not es-
tablish connection with
Newton

Antennas

are

not

mounted

Mount antennas

Dominion and Newton
are not paired

Perform pairing procedure, see Domin-
ion manual

There is a constant drift
in pan, tilt or roll

Input calibration is not
properly done

Immediate solution: Use deadband set-
ting to compensate. See Dominion user
manual or contact support for instruc-
tions on how to redo calibration

There is a very small drift
present in pan due to gyro
bias

Activate the trim functionality to elimi-
nate drift manually, see Dominion man-
ual

Camera/lens

interface

dongle is not recognized
by Dominion

Dongle has incompatible
firmware

Update dongle firmware to same version
as Dominion

Communication link is
not established between
Newton and Dominion

See entry above

There is a small constant
offset on either roll or tilt

IMU or cradle not per-
fectly orthogonal

Adjust the roll or tilt angle correction.
