Page 20: Getting Started
If necessary, the device runs the electronic test phase (ETP) to check proper functionality of all sensors and electronic components. When the MTP, RTP and ETP are completed, the RSM 400 turns into its preset default mode (can be set up with the SOMAG Mount Control App / see chapter 5.1). -
Page 21: Manual Operation (Man Mode)
Check that the ‘MAN’ Mode is selected (‘MAN’ Mode button shines yellow) in the SOMAG Mount Control App (see chapter 5.1) and use the sliders to move Roll and Pitch (yaw axis is not enabled on the RSM 400). Under certain movement conditions (strong turbulence, harsh environmental conditions), for troubleshooting purposes or for checking the safety area of the payload it can be necessary to control the Mount manually with the SOMAG Mount Control App (see chapter 5.1). -
Page 22: Maintenance, Transport And Storage
