●
Bare IMU center of measurement, represented by the symbol.
3.1.4. Device label
SBG Systems manufacturing process is based on EN-9100 system with individual and full traceability of
every component and operation. Each Ekinox 2 is identified by a unique serial number that can be used to
trace all operations during the product lifetime such as manufacturing, calibration, tests and repairs.
In addition to a unique serial number, a product code is used to define exactly the device type and options.
Finally, the Ekinox 2 features an Ethernet interface and a unique MAC address is required to identify the
device on a network.
You can find on the back side of the Ekinox 2 a laser printed label that hold all these identification
information. This label also includes a data-matrix code that encodes the device unique serial number.
In addition, the Ekinox 2 packaging includes a second label that provides other useful information such as
installed firmware version or GNSS options in the case of an EKINOX2-D.
