SETTING UP YOUR SMART-MR10
For the basic setup, you need a Windows-based computer with
an RS-232 DB-9 port and NovAtel utilities installed on it, and a
battery connection (+9 to +36 V DC). Complete the following
steps to connect and power your receiver.
1. Mount the SMART-MR10 on a secure, stable structure with
an unobstructed view of the sky.
2. Connect the interface cable to the SMART-MR10.
3. Connect the SMART-MR10 to a DB-9 serial port on the
computer.
4. Provide power to the SMART-MR10, as follows.
Connect the red wire of the cable (PWR+, connector pin 1)
to the positive side of a 12 or 24V vehicular power circuit (or
equivalent) that is protected by a 5A fuse. NovAtel
recommends an automotive blade-type fuse, rated for 5A
and with an operating voltage of more than 36V
(recommended fuse part numbers are in the SMART-MR10/
15 User Manual).
Connect the black wire of the cable (PWR-, connector pin 9)
to the negative side of the power circuit.
If a NovAtel supplied SMART-MR10 interface cable is not
used, a minimum wire size of 0.5 mm/ 20AWG is required.
