SMART-AG™
This guide provides the basic 
information you need to set up and begin 
using your new SMART-AG, a combined 
L1 GNSS receiver and antenna with 
Emulated Radar (ER) output. For more 
detailed information on the installation 
and operation of your receiver, please 
refer to the SMART-AG and OEMV user manuals, which can be 
found on our website at 
To order a printed copy of the manuals, free of charge, follow the 
instructions given on the enclosed User Manuals postcard.
The SMART-AG supports Emulated Radar (ER) and Bluetooth®
 
 
functionality. Drivers and installation instructions, where 
required, are available in the associated drivers directory of the 
CD provided. An installation program for NovAtel’s PC Utilities
including the CDU (Control and Display Unit) user interface, and 
the OEMV Software Development Kit are also on the CD.
LEDs on the front of the SMART-AG provide receiver status 
information. See the Status Indicators section of the SMART-AG 
User Manual for further information.
SMART-AG CONTENTS
Accompanying this quick start guide, the following are also 
provided with your SMART-AG:
1 CD containing: 
• An installation program for NovAtel’s Control and 
Display Unit (CDU) graphical user interface software
• Product documentation, including user manuals
1 User Manual postcard for requesting printed manuals
Mounting Plate
1 SMART-AG cable for power and communications:
The cable has two DB-9 connectors, see Figure 1. One 
can accommodate a PC/laptop serial (RS-232) 
communication port and the other can connect to a 
modem or radio transmitter to receive differential 
corrections (refer to your user-supplied modem or radio 
transmitter information for its connectors).
At the other end is a 14-pin connector, see Figure 1. I
addition, there are a number of bare wires where the 
outer insulation is cut away but the wires beneath are 
intact. SeTable 1 below for their pinouts. This cable is 
RoHS compliant and its part number is 01018256.
The SMART-AG cable provides a means of supplying 
power from a battery while operating in the field. The 
bare wires (red for positive and black for negative) can 
then be tied to a battery supply capable of at least 5 W.

ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
The additional equipment listed below is required for a basic 
setup:
A Windows-based PC with an RS-232 DB-9 port
A battery connection (+8 to +36 V DC)
SETTING UP YOUR SMART-AG
Complete the steps below to connect and power your receiver.
1. Mount the SMART-AG on a secure, stable structure with an 
unobstructed view of the sky.
2. Connect the SMART-AG to a DB-9 serial port on the PC.
3. Connect power to the SMART-AG. The cable’s red wire 
(connector pin 14) is to be connected to the positive side of a 
12 or 24V vehicular power circuit (or equivalent) protected 
by a 5A fast blow fuse (user supplied). The cable’s black 
wire (connector pin 9) is to be connected to the negative side 
of the power circuit. If a SMART-AG cable (NovAtel part 
number 01018256) is not used, a minimum wire size of 
0.5 mm/ 20AWG must be used.
