2 General description
2.1 Housing and connection ports
image 2: K6 Bt 2 with connection ports and status LED
The two-part housing of K6 Bt is mounted with 4
screws.
The K6 Bt sends and receives data and gets its power
supply on both connection ports. Both ports are
internally connected in parallel.
The pinout of the connectors is IGC conform
(configuration see image 3). Thus devices with IGC
configuration can be directly connected with an 1:1
patch cable.
A fuse with 0.5 up to 2 A has to be used for current
limiting. In most cases the fuse can be used together
for the connected GPS device and the K6 Bt.
2.2 LEDs
Both LEDs give information about the operating condition of the K6 Bt:
•
permanent light after turning on: ready for configuration, changes after 4 seconds
•
red LED blinks (- - ): automatic baud rate identification is enabled and baud rate is not found
yet
•
red LED out: baud rate found or constant setting
•
green LED blinks (- - ): no bluetooth-connection established yet
•
green LED flashes (· · )): bluetooth-connection established
2.3 Jumpers
Remove the screws and open the housing to get access to the circuit board. The circuit board itself
can remain in the housing during configuration. See image 4 for a drawing of the circuit board with
its jumpers:
