Utilities on the Windows-based PC that you will use to
communicate with it. This PC must have an RS-232 DB-9 port
1. Start up the PC.
2. Insert the accompanying CD into the CD-ROM drive of the
computer.
3. Select Install the OEMV PC Utilities from the window that is
automatically displayed. If the window does not
automatically open when the CD is inserted, select Run from
the Start menu and select the Browse button to locate
Setup.exe on the CD drive.
4. Install the PC Utilities by advancing through the steps
provided in the NovAtel GPS PC Utilities setup program.

SETTING UP YOUR SMART-MR10

For the basic setup, you will require a Windows-based PC with
an RS-232 DB-9 port and NovAtel utilities installed on it, and a
battery connection (+8 to +36 V DC). Complete the following
steps to connect and power your receiver.
1. Mount the SMART-MR10 on a secure, stable structure with
an unobstructed view of the sky.
2. Connect the SMART-MR10 to a DB-9 serial port on the PC.

3. Provide power to the SMART-MR10, as follows. Connect the
cable's red wire (PWR+, connector pin 1) to the positive side
of a 12 or 24V vehicular power circuit (or equivalent) that is
protected by a 5A fuse. NovAtel recommends an automotive
blade-type fuse, rated for 5A and with an operating voltage
of more than 36V (recommended fuse part numbers can be
found in the SMART-MR10 user manual). Connect the
cable's black wire (PWR-, connector pin 9) to the negative
side of the power circuit. If a NovAtel-supplied SMART-
MR10 cable is not used, a minimum wire size of 0.5 mm/
20AWG is required.

SMART-MR10 LEDS

LEDs on the front of the SMART-MR10 provide basic receiver
status information. The operation of the LEDs on the SMART-
MR10 is summarized in the following table:
Green
Red Yellow
Off Off Off Power is not available. (Red indicator may also not
be lit if a boot failure has occurred.)
On Off Off Power available but no satellites are being tracked
On Flashing Off Tracking at least one satellite but not a valid
position
On On Off Position valid in basic autonomous mode
On On Flashing SBAS tracking, but not enough data for enhanced
solution.
On On On
Position valid in an enhanced accuracy mode
(WAAS/EGNOS/MSAS/DGPS, OmniSTAR VBS/
XP/HP, or RTK)
On Flashing Flashing Fixed position with bad integrity
a. When acting as a reference receiver, all lights on solid indicates a good
fixed position.
