Test Dish
Test Dish,
Is a function that tests the AZ and EL maximum limits, this function is
only necessary on the initial install or during trouble shooting, Before performing a test
dish Make sure that all connections to the Freedom are secured and correct. Connect the
+12 Volt Power Supply to the Freedom Controller, then press the "Satellite" button.
· With the 1 dip switch is up the Freedom system will perform a test dish before each
satellite search (We suggested that after initial test dish, put the 1 switch down for normal
operation)
· With the 1 switch down the Freedom system will go into a satellite search pattern without
performing a test dish
The Active LED will begin to blink for 1 to 2 minutes while the dish runs through a functional
check.
· If the dish passes the Active LED will shut off and the Freedom Controller is ready for
use. Simply press the "Satellite" button to find satellite.
·
If the dish fails – the Active LED will blink a series of blinks indicating a specific error.
Count the number of blinks and refer to Message Codes on page 8. Correct the issue and
run a Test Dish again.
