3 Installation
3.2 MINIMUM CONFIGURATION
In order for the MiLLennium-GLONASS GPSCard to perform optimally, the following additional equipment is
required:
•
NovAtel GPS/GLONASS antennas (model 504 or model 514)
•
NovAtel coaxial cable (note that a conversion is required between the male SMB connector
on the MiLLennium-GLONASS GPSCard and the female TNC connector on the GPS/
GLONASS antenna)
•
A regulated power supply providing +5 V DC (see Table B.1, Page 49, for power regulation
specifications)
•
A 64-pin 0.1" DIN 41612 Type B female connector as an interface for power,
communications and signals
•
Data communications equipment capable of RS-232C serial communications
3.3 ANTI-STATIC PRECAUTIONS
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a leading cause of failure of electronic equipment components and printed circuit
boards containing ESD-sensitive devices and components. It is imperative that ESD precautions be followed when
handling or installing the MiLLennium-GLONASS GPSCard printed circuit board. See Appendix A, Page 47, for
more information on ESD precautions.
Leave the MiLLennium-GLONASS GPSCard in its anti-static packaging when not connected in its normal
operating environment. When removing the MiLLennium-GLONASS GPSCard from the ESD-protective plastic
clamshell, follow accepted standard anti-static practices. Failure to do so may cause damage to the card.
When you remove the MiLLennium-GLONASS GPSCard from the original packing box, it is recommended that
you save the box and ESD protective plastic clamshell for future storage or shipment purposes.
• Always wear a properly grounded anti-static wrist strap when handling the MiLLennium-GLONASS
GPSCard.
• Always hold the MiLLennium-GLONASS GPSCard by its corners or the RF backplane, and avoid direct
contact with any of the components.
• Do not let the MiLLennium-GLONASS GPSCard come in contact with clothing at any time because the
grounding strap cannot dissipate static charges from fabrics.
• Failure to follow accepted ESD handling practices could cause damage to the MiLLennium-GLONASS
GPSCard.
• Warranty may be voided if equipment is damaged by ESD.
3.4 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
Installing the MiLLennium-GLONASS GPSCard typically consists of the following:
•
mounting the MiLLennium-GLONASS GPSCard in a secure enclosure to reduce
environmental exposure, RF interference, and vibration effects
•
pre-wiring the I/O harness and the 64-pin DIN female connector for power and
communications, then connecting them to the MiLLennium-GLONASS GPSCard
•
installing the GPS/GLONASS antenna, then connecting it to the MiLLennium-GLONASS
GPSCard
•
installing an optional external oscillator (see Page 80)
