3.4.1 Commissioning GUI Installation
The commissioning GUI is to be used for initial set up of the Accupoint Positioner. By using
this GUI the installation engineer can set such parameters as addresses, baud rates, limit
stops positions, home position, etc.
N.B: The commissioning GUI is not intended for use as a controller and should not be
used as such.
Open the Commissioning GUI folder and install the GUI. Once installed, open the GUI
program. The GUI is designed to be largely self-explanatory and the key steps are
described below, however, if you require help please contact your Will-Burt representative
who will help guide you through the commissioning process.
To install a new version of the GUI on you selected device (PC, Laptop, Tablet, etc.) you
must first uninstall any previous version located on the device that you are installing to.
3.4.2 Key Commissioning Steps
1. Setting the Home Position:
The home position is factory set at the center of the mechanical travel of both axis. This
factory set position is correct for the majority of installations, if this is the case please skip
this step.
However, in some installations it may be required to adjust the home position. This can be
carried out by the installer using the Commissioning GUI.
Key considerations before setting Home Position

Once the a new home position is set, the factory set home position will be lost.

When the home position is moved, limit stops and preset positions will have moved
to must be reset to ensure safe operation of the positioner.
To set the home position:
1. Use the GUI to drive the unit to the new required home position.
2. Select the 'Set Home Position' Button on the GUI
3. Chose 'yes' on the confirmation box
4. The new Home Position has now been set, you can test this by either reading the
pan and tilt positions or moving away from the home position and recalling 'home'.
