    1. PRODUCT OVERVIEW This document provides the information required for the installation, operation, and verification of the Dataradio® GeminiG3™ wireless radiomodem. 1.1 Intended Audience This document is designed for use by engineering design, installation, and maintenance personnel. 1.2 General Description Available in 700 MHz, 800 MHz, or UHF and in 700-800 MHz Agile Dual-Band (ADB) model, GeminiG3 is a mobile radiomodem aimed at the public safety and public utility markets.

  • Page 14: Features

    Additionally, for ease of maintenance or upgrades, all unit firmware can be re- programmed over-the-air. • Diagnostics combined with the Dataradio optional SNMP-based Network Management Sys- tem (NMS) package, gives network administrators a proactive tool to collect and analyze di- agnostic information.

  • Page 15: Configuration

    Note: The department handling field deployment for Dataradio Corporation (Atlanta-based) is re- ferred to as “System Engineering” while the equivalent department at Dataradio Incorpo- rated (Montreal-based) is referred to as “System Solutions”. For the purpose of this manual, and to avoid confusion, we shall use the generic Dataradio system engineering.

    Replacement Parts This product is not field-serviceable, except by the replacement of a complete unit. Specialized equip- ment and training is required to repair the processor and radio boards. Contact Technical Support for service information before returning equipment. A Technical Support representative may suggest a solution eliminating the need to return equipment.

  • Page 17: Installation

    Installation Planning the Installation 2.1.1 Overview To ensure trouble-free, efficient installation, start by inspecting the vehicle to determine the optimum po- sition for GeminiG3 unit and its antennas as well as the routing of all associated cabling and wiring. 2.1.2 Location Often, installations in cars are done in the trunk, underneath the back window ledge or on the trunk floor.

  • Page 18: Warnings

    Warnings Before starting installation, review all of the following warnings. 2.2.1 RF Radiation warning Recommended safety guidelines for the human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy are contained in the Canadian Safety Code 6 and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Bulletin 65.

  • Page 19: Physical Unit

    Physical Unit 2.3.1 Recommended tools and supplies • Electric drill for mounting holes • Hammer and center punch • Tie-wraps • Drills and circle cutters as needed according the size of screws (or nuts and bolts) used. • In-line “Power meter” capable of measuring forward and reflected power at the operating fre- quency of the radio.

  • Page 20: Electrical Installation

    2. Using the installation bracket as a template, mark the four locations for drilling (see Figure 1). Again, ensure that drilling at the selected points is safe and will not cause damage. 3. Indent the drilling positions with a center punch. 4.

  • Page 21: Routing Of Power Cable

    2.4.2 Routing of power cable 1. Start by disconnecting the vehicle’s battery unless specifically prohibited from doing so by the customer, vehicle manufacturer, agent or supplier. Note: In this event, exercise extreme caution throughout the installation and fit the fuse only when the installation is complete.

  • Page 22: Antenna

    • In installations equipped with a “ChargeGuard”, connect to the controlled-side of the Char- geGuard (remembering that the DC Power lead must NOT be switched). 10. Make appropriate connections. Cautions: Where scraping to bare metal was required, and at the battery posts where wire ends and lugs may be exposed, apply anti-corrosion compound.

  • Page 23: Planning

    2.5.2 Planning Referring to Figure 5, the GeminiG3 radiomodem commonly uses three separate antennas: • “T” - Main transceiver - Constraints are the limit of 50 cm (see section 2.5 above) and omni-directional factors • “R” - Auxiliary receiver – Constraints are the receiver spacing of at least 5/8 λ...

  • Page 24: Antenna Installation

    2.5.3 Antenna Installation 1. Route good quality 50-ohm coaxial cables (e.g. RG-223) from each of the selected antenna posi- tions to the position where the GeminiG3 unit is mounted. 2. Terminate the end at each of the antenna positions with the appropriate connector for the antenna used and make the connection.
