You can wire the sensor's control pin in one of two ways:
For permanent power "on," connect pin 12 to pin 25. This configura-
•
tion is for installations in which there isn't any "remote-on" output
available from the host GPS device. As long as power is connected to
power input pin 25, the 8700 remains on.
For remote turn-on by the host device, connect pin 12 to any 5 to 40
•
VDC output of the host device. In this configuration, the 8700 turns
itself on whenever the host device is turned on.
Be sure to always connect pin 25 to DC power and pin
13 to ground, no matter which way you wire power
control to the sensor.
The 8700's configuration pins should be wired as shown in Table 14, with
pins 11 and 23 left open and pin 24 grounded. With this configuration,
signals appear on the connector pins as described below in Table 14
(functions highlighted in bold indicate the suggested pins for a normal
installation, and are the minimum connections required to operate the
8700). Use either RS-422 or RS-232 connections:
