Chapter 1 SMART7 Overview The SMART7 is a high performance GNSS receiver and antenna, capable of receiving and track- ing all current GNSS signals on a maximum of 555 channels. SBAS (Satellite Based Aug- mentation Systems) includes WAAS (North America), EGNOS (Europe) and MSAS (Japan). SBAS support is standard.
Figure 1: SMART7 with Ethernet Model 1.2 SMART7 Connectors Overview All SMART7 models use the same connector for power and communication. Refer to Table 14: SMART7 Connector Pin Out on page 33 for cable dimensions and pin outs. Figure 2: SMART7 Interface Connector The SMART7 Ethernet model has a M12 D-code female.
Shell Chassis GND 1.3 SMART7 LEDs The SMART7 has up to three LEDs (model dependent) to indicate receiver status. The following tables provide information about the SMART7 LEDs and their states. Figure 4: SMART7 LEDs Location Table 3: SMART7 Status Indicators...

This is often used in agricultural applications such as planting and spraying. The SMART7 eliminates the need for separate ground-sensing radar equipment by converting the GPS-derived velocity to proportional frequency output.
1.5.5 Address Claim Procedure To become operational on the CAN bus, an OEM7 receiver must claim a J1939 address. The pre- ferred address and a range of alternative addresses are specified using the J1939CONFIG Preliminary 3 SMART7 Installation and Operation User Manual 0A...

CLAIMING followed by CLAIMED. Restarting CAN using the J1939CONFIG command or CANCONFIG command clears the commanded address; the Address Claim procedure will be executed again based on parameters specified in the J1939CONFIG command.

4. Connect the supplied interface cable to the interface connector on the receiver and then con- nect the power cable to the power supply. Ensure a 5 A slow blow fuse is incorporated in the power wiring. Refer to SMART7 Interface Preliminary 3...
Mount on a secure, stable structure capable of safe operation in the specific environment. If installing on a vehicle, mount the SMART7 on the vehicle roof, ideally close to the pivot point of the vehicle. The SMART7 must be mounted with the connector facing the rear of the vehicle.
The SMART7 must be rigidly secured to the vehicle to avoid errors caused by vibration and motion. If installing in a stationary location, mount the SMART7 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...
1. Once the receiver is installed and powered, use a Wi-Fi capable laptop/tablet/smartphone to locate the SMART7 in the list of detected Wi-Fi Networks and establish a connection. The SMART7 SSID is printed on a label on the bottom of the receiver. The format of the SSID is SMART7-<Receiver PSN>, e.g. "SMART7-ABCDEF1234567".
2. Connect the CAN leads to the CAN Bus. The SMART7 CAN bus port is unterminated. If the SMART7 is at the end of the bus, then the connecting cable must have 120 ohms integrated into the cable between CANH and CANL in close proximity to the main 14-Pin interface connector.
Refer to SMART7 Additional Equipment Required for fuse recommendations. 2.6 Check that the SMART7 is Working After the SMART7 is installed, powered up and use the following procedure to ensure the receiver is operating. 1. Check that the Status LED Fast Flashes Yellow (in the ME_READY state).

4. Check the Receiver Status word (02004020 in this example). If the lowest bit (bit 0) is set, the receiver has errors. For information about the other digits in Receiver Status word, refer to the RXSTATUS log in the OEM7 Commands and Logs Reference Manual.
