GOES GPS ANTENNA REQUIREMENTS
The G6 component of the LT1-GOES has a GPS module used for accurate timing of the satellite
transmissions. It will work with either passive antenna or a 3 Volt active GPS antenna.
The antenna type needs to be right hand circular polarization. Both the antenna and the cable need
to be capable of handling the maximum 14 watts power output of the module.
1.5.3 LT1-IRID
The LT1-IRID connects to the Iridium satellite system, a network that provides pole-to-pole coverage.
With seamless connectivity between The LT1-IRID at site and FTS360, a secure web-based software
platform, bi-directional communication of data and station configuration is easy and fast.
Data from the LT1-IRID is stored locally on the SD card, and then securely sent through an iridium
based IoT network providing real-time, high-speed access to data to FTS360 which provides real-time,
high-speed access to the LT1-IRID’s data. FTS360 can be accessed from the browser on a computer
or on a smart device.”
1.6 SD CARDS
The LT1 is shipped with an FTS approved industrial grade 4GB SD card inserted in the SD card port
and contains the station’s logs. On average, two years data can be stored on this card. This SD card
has been tested to work with the LT1’s embedded system and in the environmental conditions in
which the LT1 is designed to operate. Removing it or replacing it with a non-certified (standard) SD
card can cause reduced functionality of the LT1 and compromise the station’s logs.
Updating an LT1-GOES/LT1-IRID station’s firmware requires a FAT32 formatted SD card.
1.6.1 SAFELY REMOVING/INSERTING THE SD CARD
In order to prevent corruption of the SD card and loss of integrity of stored information and logs, the
SD card must be safely removed. If conducting a FW update, removal of the SD card is imbedded in
the FW update steps. Follow the directions in Section 1.7.
If removing the SD card for other reasons (troubleshooting, copying logs etc.) connect to the LT1
using the FTS360 Config App. From the Station Dashboard page select the SD Card line and then the
“Safely remove SD card” button. Follow the prompts to remove and re-insert.
NOTE: The station’s SD card is an industrial card certified to operate within the LT1’s
environmental specifications and contains the station’s logs. If it is not replaced, or is
replaced with a non-certified SD card, station logs may be compromised.
1.7 FIRMWARE UPDATES
Firmware updates should be installed when they are released as they include new or enhanced
features, or modifications to improve performance, including bug fixes. It is important to wait until
the firmware update has completed before taking any other action with the station.
