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.
REMEMBER
•
•
•
•
•
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:
•
•
•
•
18
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)
