Hardware Installation Revised 2015-07-16 Parameter Requirements Comments • Narrow-band GPS: 1575.42 MHz ±2 MHz minimum Frequency range • Wide-band GPS and GLONASS: 1565 - 1606 MHz recommended • Omni-directional in azimuth Field of view (FoV) • -45° to +90° in elevation Polarization (Average Gv/Gh) >0 dB Vertical linear polarization is sufficient.
Hardware Installation Revised 2015-07-16 Serial Cable The modem has all its serial port pins enabled. If all the pins are enabled on the attached serial device, it is important to know whether the device is using DTE or DCE as a communication mode. The modem is a DCE device, so use a straight-through serial cable between the modem and a DTE device such as a terminal.
Hardware Installation Revised 2015-07-16 Thermal Performance and Considerations These units are rated for operation from -40 to +75°C when the proper thermal considerations are taken into account. Please refer to the following information to maximize the performance of these units when they are operated under extreme temperatures.
Hardware Installation Revised 2015-07-16 Cold Operating Conditions: These units will operate down to -40°C when properly installed in an enclosure that protects them from direct exposure to the elements. These units are not rated for outdoor installation without protection. Please note that when operating below -30°C some reduction in the wireless performance may occur.
