automatically charged from the vehicle power using circuitry which is internal to the transceiver. In order

to meet specific user requirements, the backup power supply battery must be sized to match the event

timetable and the required backup battery life. In the event that the battery voltage of the main and

backup battery reaches the battery endpoint voltage (typically 10V), the unit disconnects from the battery

source and inhibits all further transceiver operation until voltage is restored to usable levels. While a

number of battery chemistries can be used with the transceiver, lead acid, gel electrolyte have been

determined to provide the best compromise between cost, capacity and low temperature operation.

In order to size the 12V(nominal) backup battery an equation must be applied as follows:

The  antennas is designed to be mounted on top of a mobile platform such as a trailer, vehicle roof or

mast. The antennas should be mounted 1m (3’) apart with a clear shot at the sky and no obstructions in

the antenna’s field of view. Failure to obtain a lock on the service providing or GPS satellites indicates

an inappropriate mounting position..

The antenna can be mounted with the double-sided tape, epoxy or a urethane adhesive. The connecting

wire should be secured at 20cm (approx. 10”) intervals using cable clamps. It is important that the

antenna mounting method withstand any foreseeable wind loading and is not in proximity (18”) to human

beings for prolonged periods of time.

The transceiver is to be mounted inside. It is advisable that the unit be secured using the shock mounts

incorporated into the transceiver. Figure 1. shows  the mounting hole arrangement. A ‘drip loop’ should

be used for the antenna cable to transceiver connection so that any condensate that might accumulate on

the cable does not flow into the connector. The transceiver is provided with a 6ft power/sensor

connecting cable.

The  cable consist of 3 twisted pair groups (e.g. 6 Wires). The cable should be wired according to the

following color coding:
