GPS Antenna
The Intellix™ BMT 330 has a built-in GPS chip, which is used to provide a date/time
stamp to the event monitoring. The supplied GPS antenna has a magnetic mounting.
Place the GPS antenna in a position where it has a clear view of the sky. Route the
antenna cable into the product cabinet via one of the cable gland entries. The antenna
cable should be connected to the dedicated point at the top right hand of the PCB as
shown in Figure 5-34.
Figure 5-34: GPS antenna connection point
The following points must be considered in choosing the location of the GPS antenna:
▪
The antenna must have a clear line-of-sight of a significant portion of the sky so that
GPS satellite signals can be received.
▪
The antenna is magnetically mounted so a suitable ferromagnetic surface must be
found. This ferromagnetic surface must be grounded.
