8. Plug the GPS jumper cable into the 6 pin
socket on the PCB.
NOTE: A good pair of tweezers is a must
for this step. Make sure you're inserting
the jumper cable connector into the socket
correctly as it is a keyed connection. Using
the tweezers, align the connector over the
socket at a 90 degree angle to the PCB and
push the connector STRAIGHT down into
the socket. Forcing the connector into the
socket at an angle can damage the socket
pins.
9. Insert the serial cable assembly through the
small hole on the right side of the case.
Insertion will be from the inside of the case
towards the exterior. The correct length
from the outside of the case to the end of
the 2.5mm right angle plug is 3" minimum.
Strip ¾" of sheathing from the end of the
serial cable being careful not to damage
the inner shielding.
Twist the bare shield wires into a single
bundle to be soldered.
Slide the wire strain releif onto the serial
cable prior to soldering. Solder the twisted
shield to the ground solder point. Solder
the RED wire to the middle solder point.
Solder the WHITE wire to the tip solder
point (furthest away from plug end).
Replace the plug jacket.
TIP: This is a tough step. Use an excess
piece of cable shield around the plug and
clamp in a vice. Use alligator clips for extra
hands. Any excess serial cable length can
be tucked into the case.
