Functional Testing
6. Functional Testing
If not already ON, Turn ON the Power switch on the front panel of the ACU.
6.1. (OPTIONAL) TSC-10 Touch Screen Controller Checks
Refer to the functional testing chapter of the TSC-10 manual for check to perform.
6.2. ACU / Antenna System Check
1. Press RESET on the ACU front panel to initialize the system. Verify the display shows "SEA TEL INC
- MASTER" and the ACU software version number. Wait 10 seconds for the display to change to
"SEA TEL INC - REMOTE" and the PCU software version number. If the display shows "REMOTE
INITIALIZING”, wait approximately 2 minutes for the antenna to complete initialization and report
the Antenna Model and PCU software version. If “REMOTE NOT RESPONDING" is displayed, refer to
the Troubleshooting Section of this manual.
2. Press the NEXT key repeatedly to display the Ship, Satellite, Antenna and Status menu displays.
This verifies that the displays change in the correct response to the keys.
6.3. Latitude/Longitude Auto-Update check
This verifies that the GPS antenna mounted on the antenna pedestal is automatically updating the current
ship’s position information. If the GPS is not updating the ACU properly, refer to the Troubleshooting
Section of this manual.
1. Press the NEXT key repeatedly to display the Ship menu. Press ENTER to access edit mode and
view the current Latitude value.
2. Press the LEFT arrow key to bring the cursor up under the ones digit, press UP and then hit ENTER.
The display should immediately show a latitude value one degree higher. If the GPS engine
mounted on the Antenna Pedestal is working properly the incorrect value will be overwritten within
several seconds (back to the correct current value).
3. This test does not need to be repeated in the Longitude menu.
6.4. Azimuth & Elevation Drive
This check verifies that the antenna moves in the correct direction in response to the keys. If the antenna is
not driving properly, refer to the Troubleshooting Section of this manual.
1. Press the NEXT key several times to display the Antenna menu.
2. Press the Tracking key to toggle Tracking OFF.
3. Press the UP arrow key repeatedly and verify that the antenna moves up in elevation.
4. Press the DOWN arrow key repeatedly and verify that the antenna moves down in elevation.
5. Press the RIGHT arrow key repeatedly and verify that the antenna moves up in azimuth.
6. Press the LEFT arrow key repeatedly and verify that the antenna moves down in azimuth.
