Page 16: Chapter 2 Smart2 Installation
Mount the SMART2 on a secure, stable structure capable of safe operation in the specific environment. When installing on a vehicle, mount the SMART2 on the vehicle roof, ideally close to the pivot point of the vehicle. The SMART2 must be mounted with the connector facing the rear of the vehicle. -
Page 17: Mounting Plate
The SMART2 must be rigidly secured to the vehicle to avoid errors caused by vibration and motion. If installing in a stationary location, mount the SMART2 in a location that has a clear view of the sky so that each satellite above the horizon can be tracked without obstruction. -
Page 18: Connect The Smart2 To Data Communication Equipment
1. Place the SMART2 on the pole mounting plate. 2. Use four M4 screws to connect the mounting plate to the SMART2. Torque the screws to 10 – 12 in-lbs. The optimal screw penetration into the SMART2 mounting holes is 6 mm (±1 mm) deep. -

Page 48: High Temperature Environments
Chapter 6 Troubleshooting 6.3 High Temperature Environments The operating temperature of SMART2 increases as more features (channels used, HDR mode, etc.) are enabled. When the receiver is operating in an environment that is near its maximum ambient temperature, an increase in the ambient air temperature or enabling additional features may cause the receiver to exceed its maximum oper- ating temperature and generate a Temperature Status error. -
Page 49: Safe Mode
6.4 Safe Mode Safe Mode is an error condition triggered on the SMART2 if it encounters certain critical problems during start-up. The receiver does not track GNSS satellites in this state, but the user interface is still available to allow for dia- gnosis of the problem. -
Page 50: Reset Loop Detection
6.4.1 Reset Loop Detection In order to determine when the Safe Mode error should be triggered, the SMART2 has the ability to detect when an unexpected reset has occurred during the boot process. If a Reset Loop is detected, the Reset Loop Detec- ted bit is set in the RXSTATUS log. -
