To determine the safety ratings and specification of the entire system refer to each component in the system. Before starting to work with the SEA 9406 module please read this docu- ment and the software manual carefully. If there are any questions about operating the module or if any term is not understood, please contact the vendor before using the module.
The reader should consult the vendor if errors are suspected. End User License Agreement (EULA) Before operating the SEA 9406 and the provided software you have to agree to the terms and conditions (EULA). This agreement is part of the software installation procedure.
Safety Guidelines To protect persons against any harm and the module from damage, the operation of the SEA 9406 module is only allowed according to the rules described in this document. Operator Protection Hot or Cold Surface The metallic surface of the module might be- come hot or cold as well.
Keep the module and the antennas at least 1 meter away from hu- man bodies during operation. Safety Critical Applications The module is not failure tolerant and therefore not suitable for use in safety critical applications. Do not use the module for medical applications or any live sup- porting apparatus.
Hazardous Voltages A voltage is hazardous when higher than 25 V or 60 VDC to earth ground according to IEC 60364-4-41 (SELV). If the module specifications allow to connect hazardous voltages to the module, take the following pre- cautions, when connecting hazardous voltages to the module: Make sure that only qualified personnel wires hazardous voltage adhering to local electrical standards.

Connecting SEA 9406 The SEA 9406 is a GNSS module for stationary and mobile usage. It pro- vides position data for global localization on earth as well as a precise time base for timing and synchronization purposes. The module is designed to be operated in a FPGA- based RIO chassis only.
LEDs (1) The LEDs on the front side indicate the status of the module. The meaning of each LED is described in the table below: LED # Meaning 1 – POWER Backplane Power – is steady on when power (through the backplane connector) is present.
Connect only an- tennas which are proven to work with these modules. Refer to the S.E.A. web shop at https://www.sea-gmbh.com for compatible antenna types. If a roof antenna is used, the antenna has to be dismounted when light- ning strikes are likely to happen.
COM (4) This connector exposes a serial interface (RS-232) and can be used to pro- vide an RCTM stream to the module. For this an NTRIP client software and an adequate NTRIP service are required. The NTRIP client has to be oper- ated on a device providing a serial RS-232 interface, which needs to be connected to COM according to the following pinout: PIN #...
SENSOR-WT (opt.) (5) Operates only if the sensor option is installed. This connector allows to connect an external wheel tick sensor to improve performance in areas with poor satellite visibility i.e. tunnels. PIN # Meaning 1 – WT Sig. Wheel Tick signal input. Provide a signal with approx. 50% duty cycle with 0 ..
Backup Battery (opt.) Available only if the battery is installed. The internal backup battery provides the following features: Stores the last GNSS almanac. • This feature significantly speeds up the availability of the first valid GNSS data after a power-up, because the module does not need to collect the GNSS almanac again, which can take several seconds or minutes.
Sleep Mode This module supports a low-power sleep mode. In sleep mode typically there is no communication with the module and the power consumption is minimized. The system thermal dissipation may decrease. Refer to the Specifications section for more information about power consumption and thermal dissipation.
