VN-200 Installation
Mounting the VN-200
You may mount the VN-200 to the vehicle or platform
in any
orientation
. If the VN-200 axes do not align with the desired vehicle or
platform axes then a Reference Frame Rotation will be required to
remap the attitude, angular rates, acceleration, and other data to the
desired frame (see page 9).
When installing the VN-200 to a vehicle or other platform, ensure that:
•
The VN-200 is
rigidly mounted
with respect to the GNSS
antenna
•
The VN-200 is
rigidly mounted
to the aircraft, vehicle or other
platform.
o
Vibration dampeners or flexible mounts can degrade
the VN-200 performance and are not recommended.
•
All harnesses are properly secured and strain-relieved to avoid
stress entering the VN-200 from the cabling.
•
Great care is taken when connecting the GNSS antenna, as the
connector can sustain limited side loads and connecting cycles
