2.5.2 Power Supply Requirements for the SMART7
The SMART7 requires a power supply that provides:
l
a voltage in the range of +7 to +30 VDC
l
at least 15 W of power (typical use: 3 W to 7 W)
See
SMART7 Environmental and Electrical Specifications
on page 138 for more power supply specifications.
The SMART7 has an internal power module that:
l
filters and regulates the supply voltage
l
protects against over-voltage, over-current and high-temperature conditions
l
provides automatic reset circuit protection
If the voltage supplied is below the minimum specification, the receiver suspends operation. If the
voltage supplied is above the maximum specification, the receiver may be permanently
damaged, voiding the warranty.
The supply must be capable of providing enough current to operate the SMART7, including the
initial inrush transient. The supply must also be current limited to 5 A with an external fuse.
The amount of power required depends on the number of constellations and signals tracked, and
the features enabled.
Refer to
SMART Antenna Interface Cable (Optional Accessory)
on page 141 for details about the power cable.
2.6 Check that the SMART Antenna is Working
After the SMART Antenna is installed and powered up, use the following procedure to ensure the receiver is oper-
ating.
1. Check that the Status LED
has changed from red to yellow or green.
The Status LED may briefly flash as Red before moving quickly to the Fast Flash Yellow.
See
on page 22 for the location of the LEDs.
