Applanix POS MV V5 Installation And Operation Manual page 43

Note: Before installing the POS MV, make certain that adequate mounting provisions exist for all
components of the system.
Power Requirements
Applanix strongly recommends that you arrange to supply electrical power to the POS MV from an
Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS). This is for two reasons:
• Usually, the electrical supply on board the vessel will be noisy. Although the POS MV includes
power supply conditioning circuitry, it is a sensible precaution to make certain the power supply is
'clean' before it enters the system.
• The electrical supply on board the vessel may be unreliable and may drop out or fall to an
unacceptable level unexpectedly.
A suitable UPS will 'clean' the electrical supply before it enters the PCS and will continue to supply power
for a short period if the electrical supply fails for any reason. The UPS should be able to supply the total
power requirements of POS MV.

Environmental Requirements
GNSS Antennas
To receive GNSS satellite signals without interruption, the GNSS antennas require a clear view of the sky
from horizon to horizon in all directions. You must mount them outside in an elevated position on the
vessel. Follow the instructions in the GNSS System paragraphs on page 2-5 to install the GNSS
antennas.
Although the antennas are tolerant of an exposed mounting position, please observe the environmental
limits starting on page 7-5 when installing these components.
