GFX Manual

Installing the GFX

Mounting considerations

 

The GFX shall be fixed using two mounting holes 

provided diagonally across the enclosed assembly.

 

Use the standard threaded M5 size screws to affix the 

GFX. (Note: Customer shall choose length of the screws 

as per mounting base)

 

Mounting torque shall be 1.8±0.2Nm.

Mating antenna details

Use 3V external Active Antenna
Recommended Active Antenna

Part Number: 66800-52, Manufacturer: Trimble Inc.

otee:

N

Antenna interface SMA connector recommended 

mating torque - 4-5 inch-pounds.

Antenna interface SMA connector durability- 500 Cycles.

Cautione: 

Supply voltage provision is 3V for external active 

antenna. Ensure appropriate antenna is chosen for 

functioning of GPS.

Recommended wiring practices

 

Confirm the CAN cable is properly terminated using 120 

ohm resistor.

 

Use twisted or twisted shielded pair cable for CAN as per 

the applicable standard.

 

Verify that the harness is constructed to meet the needs 

of the application environment (e.g. shock, vibration, 

moisture, temperature, chemicals, and impact).

 

Ensure that the harness is designed and constructed 

to minimize induced interference resulting from EMI 

coupling between signal wires.

 

Separate power circuits from low-level signals.

 

Provide sufficient clearance from moving parts.

 

Wires routed through holes in the vehicle body/chassis 

should use grommets.

 

Avoid sharp metal edges, fasteners, and other abrasive 

surfaces or use protective shielding when routing  

harness assembly.

 

Route wires to avoid exhaust system components or 

other high temperature areas, use appropriate heat 

shielding or other insulation where routing is a problem.

 

Avoid routing near wheel wells or provide adequate 

mechanical protection to the assembly

 

Use a protective fuse sized appropriately for the GFX  

supply current.

Device troubleshooting

The following is a check list, if there is any problem in 

the device.

 

Make sure the Power indication Green LED is ON

If Red LED is ON, check the following:

 

Power input is within 5-36V.

 

External Antenna interface- Antenna is not properly 

connected or antenna is shorted. Short alert is triggered if 

external active antenna draws approximately more 

than 19mA.

 

Operating temperature is not exceeding >85  

Degrees Celsius.

 

GPS information is not available in corresponding PGNs.

 

IMU Accelerometer and Magnetometer three axis 

information is not available in corresponding PGNs.

Warnings

When installing this component, all requirements of the 

outlined standard must be fulfilled.

 

This component is designed to be affixed in the 

application, and a suitable enclosure should be provided 

in the end system.
