2.11 GPS
The MSA 4.0 (MSA 4.1), is equipped with a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver, and
allows the visualization and storage of the geographical coordinates (latitude, longitude)
of the jointing place.
The acquisition of the coordinates is done just before starting the fusion process and
updated when the fusion is finished in order to detect the position with more precision. The
machine position must be near the exact place where the joint will be located.
As soon as the GPS coordinates are available, a satellite icon will be shown on the
CONNECT FITTING screen in the top-right corner.
To acquire correctly the GPS coordinates, the unit must be static (no motion) and preferibly
in open air. Moreover, to allow the unit to identify the position with accuracy, a warm up time
must be ensured: the unit has to be powered on for at least 5’ to let the discovery of the
satellites.
