2.1.4 Mounting the AG-STAR
Mount the AG-STAR on a secure, stable structure capable of safe operation in the specific environment.
• If installing on a vehicle, mount the AG-STAR on the vehicle roof, ideally close to the pivot point of the
vehicle. The AG-STAR must be mounted with the connector facing the rear of the vehicle (see Figure 6,
AG-STAR Orientation).
Figure 6: AG-STAR Orientation
• If installing in a stationary location, mount the AG-STAR in a location that has a clear view of the sky so
that each satellite above the horizon can be tracked without obstruction. For more information, refer to An
Introduction to GNSS found at www.novatel.com/an-introduction-to-gnss/
.
2.1.5 Connecting Data Communications Equipment
To communicate with the receiver by sending commands and obtaining logs, a connection to data
communications equipment is required. See Table 7, AG-STAR Communication/Power Cable Pinouts on
page 47 for more information.
The AG-STAR must be rigidly secured to the vehicle to avoid errors caused by vibration and
motion.
