98-169085-B Mounting calibration 23
Mounting calibration
Every time you start up the EXPLORER 323 and move the vehicle, the EXPLORER 323 will try to
detect how it is oriented in relation to the vehicle (Mounting calibration). This is necessary in
order to obtain and maintain the best possible signal strength when the vehicle is moving.
After a restart, the EXPLORER 323 will run a calibration process, which may take a couple of
minutes.
In most cases the terminal will be calibrated by normal driving in urban areas for a few minutes
(normal accelerating, braking and turning).
For optimal calibration, drive two or three times a route in the
shape of figure 8, at speeds above 20 kph (12 mph) when possible.
Status of the mounting calibration
You can see the status of the mounting calibration in the Terminal status field in the web
interface. The status can be:
• Calibrating: Shown after first installation or factory reset. The EXPLORER 323 runs a
complete calibration process and goes directly to status Completed when done. When
moving in this state the terminal is not able to track the satellite.
• Validating: Shown after restart of the EXPLORER 323. The EXPLORER 323 validates the
mounting information from previous startup and goes directly to status Completed when
done. When moving in this state the terminal will attempt to track the satellite using the
previous mounting information.
• Completed: Shown when the calibration (or validation) process has finished. The
EXPLORER 323 now has the correct information of its mounting orientation in relation to
the vehicle and is able to track the satellite while moving.
