IDP 800 Terminal Series - Hardware Guide 1 Product Overview The IDP 800 series low profile terminal contains an integrated antenna, an application card, a satellite modem for communicating with the satellite, a panel connector for optimal external power input, RS-232, three (3) configurable input/output ports and; a serviceable battery compartment.
Internet-based application services provided by SPs or by integrating existing customer enterprise software to receive information from the Gateway. 1.2 Terminals The IDP 800 series of SkyWave mobile satellite terminals operate on the IsatData Pro network. Terminals include an omni-directional (integrated or remote) antenna, satellite modem, GPS, programmable microcontroller, a side connector and three I/O (input/output) feeds capable of monitoring and controlling external sensors and devices.
IDP 800 Terminal Series - Hardware Guide 1.3 Remote Antennas The IDP 800 series supports two optional remote satellite antenna models: the standard antenna with an elevation angle of 20 to 90° and the low elevation antenna from -15 to 90°.
1.4 Terminal Key Features and Benefits CAUTION Do not rely solely on the terminal for emergency (SOS) calls. The IDP 800 series terminals have the following key features and benefits: External power input Motion detection/accelerometer Magnetically activated power on/off switch ...
Storage Temperature -40° to +85°C excluding batteries 3.1.2 Battery Temperature SkyWave has tested and certified the IDP-800 based on the batteries. The table below defines the battery's temperature specifications from the manufacturer's datasheet. Rechargeable Batteries Non-rechargeable Batteries Battery Chemistry...
IDP 800 Terminal Series - Hardware Guide 3.2.2.1 Power Consumption Scenario Power consumed by the IDP-800 is a fairly involved. SkyWave has provided a Power Estimator on the support site to help customer estimate power and battery life for their particular applications.
The IDP-800 is optionally available to support a remote antenna. The remote antenna terminal variant uses an SMA panel connector. The terminal must only be used with an active SkyWave antenna. Refer to APPENDIX A for antenna order part numbers.
IDP 800 Terminal Series - Hardware Guide 3.8 Internal Battery 3.8.1 Battery Type SkyWave has tested and certified the terminal with the batteries listed in Table 18. The specifications in Table 18 have been extracted from the manufacturer's specifications. CAUTION Use only SkyWave approved batteries listed below.
3.8.4 Charger The IDP-800 internal charger only supports rechargeable NiMH battery chemistries. Only use approved SkyWave NiMH batteries in the IDP-800. The IDP-800 charger operates independently of the Lua framework. Consequently, charging can occur in any operating mode. The charging algorithm is outlined in Figure 14 and described in detail later in this section.
IDP 800 Terminal Series - Hardware Guide 4 Installation The following section contains SkyWave's recommended installation guidelines for the Solution Provider (SP). These recommendations should be incorporated into installation guidelines for end users. CAUTION The installer is responsible for following all safety guidelines during product installation.
4.2.2 Mobile Identification Each mobile device has a unique mobile ID used by SkyWave to register it on the IsatData Pro network. This is a 15-digit alphanumeric identifier in the format NNNNNNNNSKYXXXX. The mobile ID is located both on the bottom of the terminal, and on the battery end, as well as on the shipping box.
Keep a copy (APPENDIX E) of the terminal's mobile ID along with the server access ID and password you receive in the activation report email (Figure 25) from SkyWave Customer Support. You need these to communicate remotely with the terminal.
Qty 6 - M4 (8-32) nuts with 18-8 stainless steel flat and lock washers Waterproof sealing tape Qty 1 - Custom cable SkyWave recommends that the Solution Provider supply the end-user with a custom built cable. 4.2.5 Required Tools You require the following tools to install a terminal.
Magnet Fob Magnet Sensor 4.6 Mount the Terminal The IDP 800 series terminals can be installed with or without mounting brackets (APPENDIX A). Users can also build their own custom bracket (Section 4.6.2). CAUTION Painting terminals or antennas may interfere with their performance.
M4 (8-32) screws and torque to 1.4 N-m (12 in-lb). 4. Continue with the steps, below, for Apply Dielectric Grease. 4.6.2 Custom Bracket Guidelines SkyWave recommends customers follow the guidelines below if building their own custom bracket. All hardware must be 18-8 stainless steel.
Where possible route the cable through existing holes in the floor or the firewall of the engine compartment. 3. Route the cable starting from the terminal to the fuse panel or battery source. Note: SkyWave recommends that you tape cable ends to prevent dirt from collecting on the contacts. T209, Version 01...
Protect the Cables and Cable Connectors CAUTION Cable management and connector strain relief must be incorporated in the installation. SkyWave highly recommends securing the cable at regular intervals along its length as part of the installation to prevent cable wear and eliminate strain on the terminal connector.
Note: The IDP 800 series terminals must complete registration to operate. Once you apply power, the terminal goes into satellite search mode to acquire the SkyWave IsatData Pro network. This activity may take a few minutes to complete. If you experience difficulties, refer to Section 5 for troubleshooting suggestions.
Note: The terminal will not register until it has a clear line of sight to the satellite. 2. The SkyWave IsatData Pro network records the registration message and forwards the registration message to the user’s application. The SkyWave IsatData Pro network sends an acknowledgement message over the satellite to the terminal.
Replace the device, if the above checks fail to uncover the problem. 5.2 Shipping Terminals Back to SkyWave If it is necessary to ship the terminal back to SkyWave, follow the SkyWave RMA process. Note: Remove all batteries from the terminal prior to returning the terminal. Do not return the batteries with the shipment as doing so may complicate the shipping documentation and labeling requirements.
6. Replace the gasket (SkyWave part number: ST100188). Refer to APPENDIX E for gasket replacement instructions. 7. Position the loaded battery cover onto the terminal, with the curved end of the cover facing the end of the terminal.
CAUTION Damaged gaskets must be replaced. (SkyWave part number: ST100188) The black battery compartment gasket is accessible with the battery cover removed. The gasket is secured by hook features on the outside of the gasket wall and matching loop features on the gasket (Figure 50).
