GPS
A male DB9 connector. This is a RS232 data terminal equipment port. A GPS or KMAG4 can be connected here. Provides a full duplex connection at five programmable data rates: 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600 and 115200 bits/sec. A null modem cable is required if a KMAG4 unit is connected to this port.
PPS
Two SMA connectors to connect the PPS signal from a GPS. Both connectors are connected together internally. Thus the second connector can provide the PPS signal to another instrument.
MAIN
A mail DB9 connector. This is a RS232 data terminal equipment port. A null-modem cable should be used to connect this port to a PC. The port provides a full duplex connection at five programmable data rates: 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600 and 115200 bits/sec.
28 VDC
This is the power supply connector. The power supply can be between 11VDC and 32VDC. The positive wire is connected to pin1 and the negative one – to pin2. The average power consumption is about 60mA from 28V. Below is the list of the parts necessary to prepare the power cable:
| Item | Description | AMP Part # | Quantity |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Plug Standard Sex | 206060-1 | 1 |
| 2 | Socket Contacts 18AWG-16AWG | 66181-1 | 2 |
| 3 | Cable Clamp | 206062-1 | 1 |
