2 Getting Started
This chapter deals with installation of the accompanying software, connecting to the instrument and other
information that is important for first time use of the instrument.
2.1 Checking the Inventory
Check the content of the received package against the packing list included in the shipment. Do not hesitate
to contact us if you find any part of the delivery missing.
2.2 Signature VM Software
The Signature VM software is under continuous development, so it is advised to check on a regular basis if
a new version is available. Note that a decent internet connection is required for checking and possible
downloads.
2.3 Interface
The Signature VM interface provides power to the Signature sensor and GNSS and has all necessary
interconnections between the different parts. Two versions are available: an AC version that accepts
standard mains power from 100 to 240 VAC and a 24 VDC version that can take a DC voltage from 12 to 36
VDC

2.3.1 24VDC Version
The 24 VDC version is powered through a 3 Pin XLR connector. Use a suitable power lead with a 3 pin
female XLR connector.(Neutrik model NC3FXX-B)
The unit is reverse polarity protected, so reversing the power lines will not damage it. The supply is fused
using the fuse on the rear-panel.
