2. Installation
Figure 2 provides a visual reference for content discussed within Sections 2 and 3 of this
document.
2.1. Start Up
When the Spider is first powered the LEDs will cycle through a start-up sequence (that
indicates firmware version) and should then display a solid Power LED indicator only.
2.2. GPS Signal
In order to acquire a GPS lock, the aircraft will need to be outside and in full view of the sky
(refer to 1.1) with the power on. Once a GPS lock is attained the Signal LED indicator
(bottom right) will turn orange. A GPS lock should be acquired within 60s in the general
case.
2.3. Iridium Connectivity
Once a GPS lock has been attained the Spider will immediately attempt to send the first
position report to the Iridium satellites. Once a connection has been made with the Iridium
network the Signal LED indicator will turn from orange to green and should remain green
throughout the duration of the flight.
Under normal operating conditions the time taken from startup through GPS lock and
connection with the Iridium network should be less than 2 minutes.
