Digital Antenna Connector:

The 13-pin connector is for a GSSI digital antenna control cable. You will

notice the antenna connection on the SIR 4000 has five notches cut from the metal. These mate with the
five raised nubs on the digital control cable to ensure proper alignment.

•

Screw the cable connector collar onto the SIR 4000 to make proper contact. The cable should
only be hand-tightened. Do not use a wrench to tighten the connection as over-tightening will
result in damage. The cable connector collar should be screwed down far enough to cover the red
line on the SIR 4000 connector.

•

The o

nly proper time to attach or detach an antenna is with system power off. Be sure to

unplug any external power and to remove the battery before attaching or detaching antennas.

Analog Antenna Connector:

The large, protruding 19-pin connector is for a GSSI analog antenna

control cable. You will notice the antenna connection on the SIR 4000 has five notches cut from the
metal. These mate with the five raised nubs on the analog control cable to ensure proper alignment.

•

Screw the cable connector collar onto the SIR 4000 to make proper contact. The cable should
only be

hand-tightened

.

Do not use a wrench

to tighten the connection as over-tightening will

result in damage. The cable connector collar should be screwed down far enough to cover the red
line on the SIR 4000 connector.

•

The only proper time to attach or detach an antenna is with system power off. Be sure to
unplug any external power and to remove the battery before attaching or detaching antennas.

External Power Adapter:

Plug in the optional AC power adaptor to run the system from 110-240 V,

47-63 Hz power.

GPIO Connector:

This is a General Purpose Input/Output connector. It will operate numerous future

accessories and peripherals available from GSSI. Output signals include power, GPS and others.

HDMI Video Out:

This will allow you to duplicate the screen on the SIR 4000 when connected to an

external monitor or projector.

Serial I/O (RS232):

This is a standard serial connection that can be used to establish communication

between the SIR 4000 and a GPS as well as supply power. Please see Chapter 7: Using a GPS with your
SIR 4000 for additional information.

USB 2.0:

This port is for connection to a variety of USB peripherals, including a mouse, keyboard, or

memory device.

•

The internal memory capacity is approximately 32 gigabytes. Please see Chapter 6: Data Transfer
and File Maintenance for additional information.
