Installation and Setup
2.1.4
Mounting the AG-Star
Mount the AG-Star on a secure, stable structure capable of safe operation in the specific environment.
•
If installing on a vehicle, mount the AG-Star on the vehicle roof, ideally close to the pivot point of the
vehicle. The AG-Star must be mounted with the connector facing the rear of the vehicle (see Figure 6,
AG-Star Orientation).
The AG-Star must be rigidly secured to the vehicle to avoid errors caused by vibration
and motion.

The optimal screw penetration into the AG-Star mounting holes is 6 mm (±1 mm) deep.
When selecting screws for mounting the AG-Star ensure the screw penetration does
not exceed this specification. Using excessively long screws can damage the AG-Star
enclosure.
•
If installing in a stationary location, mount the AG-Star in a location that has a clear view of the sky so that
each satellite above the horizon can be tracked without obstruction. For more information, refer to An
Introduction to GNSS found at www.novatel.com/an-introduction-to-gnss/.
2.1.5
Connecting Data Communications Equipment
To communicate with the receiver by sending commands and obtaining logs, a connection to data
communications equipment is required. See Table 7, AG-Star Communication/Power Cable Pinouts on
page 48 for more information.
