Circular Connectors
The IMU connector on POS MV V5 and the majority of connectors on POS MV V5-1 are high quality,
IP67 Lemo ® connectors. These connectors use spring loaded latches that engage when the connector is
pushed fully into the socket. Once engaged the connector is very secure against shock, vibration and
pulling on the cable, ensuring a reliable connection. To disengage the connector you must pull back on
the outer release sleeve. Since pulling back on the release sleeve often results in some force on the
entire connector body the latches can experience some friction and not retract smoothly. If possible it is
better to hold the cable forward while pulling back on the release sleeve and then sliding the connector
out of the socket. Applying excess force could damage the latch mechanism.
Inertial Measurement Unit
The IMU contains sensitive and expensive solid-state
accelerometer and gyro components. Permanent damage to
these components will result if handled roughly. To prevent
irreversible damage, handle the IMU with care.
If you suspect a fault condition with the IMU please return it to Applanix for service and repair. To remove
or replace the IMU complete this procedure.
