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.
