Important!
Assemble in accordance with applicable industry standards. Ensure all Electrostatic Dis-
charge (ESD) measures are in place, in particular, use a ground strap before exposing or handling any
electronic items, including the UIC, receiver and IMU. Take care to prevent damaging or marring painted
surfaces, O-rings, sealing surfaces and the IMU.
For more information about ESD practices, see the
OEM7 Installation and Operation User Manual
.
Use the following steps to install the OEM7 receiver and UIC:
1. Mount the components of the SPAN system. See
Mount the SPAN System Components
2. Connect the IMU to the UIC. See
3. Connect the UIC to the OEM7 receiver. See
4. Connect power to the UIC and OEM7 receiver. See
Connect Power to the UIC and OEM7 Receiver
2.3.1 Mount the SPAN System Components
1. Mount the antenna. See
2. Mount OEM7 receiver. See the
OEM7 Installation and Operation User Manual
for information about installing
an OEM7 receiver.
3. Mount the IMU. See
4. Install the UIC in a secure enclosure to reduce environmental exposure and RF interference. If there is suf-
ficient space, the UIC can reside in the same enclosure as the receiver.
Use M3 pan head stainless steel screws to secure the UIC to its mounting location. See
on page 272 for the UIC dimensions.
Ensure the UIC is mounted close enough to the IMU so the interface cable can reach both
devices. For the length of the interface cable, refer to the specifications for the IMU in
Ensure the mounting location provides at least 5 mm of clearance below the board to allow for
components on the bottom of the UIC.
Ensure all standoffs are properly installed and the mounting location is flat.
The amount of board deflection (bow and twist) must not exceed 0.75%. For example, on the
UIC which is 100 mm long and 113 mm wide, the deflection along the length must not exceed
0.75 mm and the deflection along the width must not exceed 0.85 mm.
