Measure the GNSS antenna separation distance, as instructed in
Antenna Baseline Vector
The antenna baseline vector is the vector describing distance
from phase centre of primary antenna to phase centre of
secondary antenna in the vessel frame. If this vector can be
determined accuractely (error <= 5 mm) then the values can be
entered into the GAMS parameter setup window and avoid
having to perform a GAMS calibration, which on a large vessel
may not be practical or as accurate. If the antenna baseline
vector cannot be accurately determined and the vessel can
perform dynamics sufficient to achieve a good GAMS calibration
then the baseline vector parameters can be left as zero.
on page 2-29. Be as careful and accurate as possible.
3. Power
Supply
The application of incorrect electrical power to the PCS may
result in damage to POS MV system.
(POS MV V5) Arrange a clean, stable electrical supply at a
nominal voltage 110/220V (voltage range - 100 Vac to 240 Vac)
for the PCS. If possible, supply electrical power to the PCS from
an uninterruptible power supply.
(POS MV V5-1) Arrange a clean, stable electrical supply at a
nominal voltage 12/24V (voltage range 10 Vdc to 34 Vdc) for the
PCS. If possible, supply electrical power to the PCS from an
uninterruptible power supply.
4. Cable
Runs
Install all cables carefully so that they do not present a hazard.
Avoid applying sharp bends or other mechanical stresses to the
cables when you install them. Do not run cables where they may
bend or twist after installation. Use cable clips to secure the
cables at regular intervals along their length.
If you need to extend any cables, use approved cables and
connectors of the highest quality. Refer to Applanix for advice,
see Technical Support and Service on page A-1 for procedures.
