    To Ground WEEE Notice If you purchased your DL-V3 product in Europe, please return it to your dealer or supplier at the end of its life. The objectives of the European Community's environment policy are, in particular, to preserve, protect and improve the quality of the environment, protect human health and utilise natural resources prudently and rationally.
  • Page 13 See also the RXSTATUS log on Page 94. The DL-V3 can accept an input supply voltage in the range +9 to +28 V DC. This may not be the same range as other NovAtel products with which you are familiar. By default, operating the DL-V3 below +9 V DC causes the unit to suspend operation.

  • Page 14: Foreword

    Refer to the OEMV Family Installation and Operation User Manual for instructions on how to set up and start using the DL-V3. After the addition of accessories, an antenna and a power supply, the DL-V3 is ready to go. The OEMV-3 in the DL-V3 utilizes a comprehensive user-interface command structure, which requires communications through its communications (COM) ports.

  • Page 16: Introduction

    Software upgrades to full code and RTK positioning will be released in the future. Once you connect the DL-V3 to an antenna and power supply, it begins operating as a fully functional GNSS system. (Refer to the OEMV Family Installation and Operation User Manual for more information on this topic).

  • Page 17: Operating Modes

    For a discussion on Positioning Modes of Operation, please refer to the OEMV Family Installation and Operation User Manual. OPERATING MODES The DL-V3 can either be controlled by a host computer or be set up for stand-alone operation. • Controlled Operation: A host computer can transmit logging parameters, receive collected data, and turn the DL-V3 on or off.
