OEMV Family Installation and Operation User Manual Rev 5B 19
Foreword
Foreword
Thank you for purchasing a NovAtel receiver card. Whether it is stand-alone or in an enclosure, this
manual will help you get the hardware operational and provide further general information.
Afterwards, the OEMV Firmware Reference Manual will be your primary OEMV family command
and logging reference source.
Scope
The OEMV Family Installation and Operation User Manual contains sufficient information on the
installation and operation of the OEMV-1, OEMV-1G, OEMV-2 and OEMV-3 cards to allow you to
effectively integrate and fully operate them. Enclosures for the OEMV Family cards, the DL-V3,
ProPak-V3, FlexPak-V2, FlexPak-V1G, FlexPak-V1 and the SMART-V1 Antenna, are also described
in this manual. All are RoHS compliant. Please call your distributor, or NovAtel directly, for updated
information on model availability.
After the addition of accessories, user-supplied data communications equipment and a power supply,
the receiver is ready to go.
The OEMV family receivers utilize a comprehensive user-interface command structure, which
requires communications through its communications (COM) ports. The OEMV Firmware Reference
Manual, lists and describes the various receiver commands and logs referenced in this manual. Please
remember that since each receiver is shipped from the distributor with a customer-specific list of
features, such as L-Band, Satellite-Based Augmentation System (SBAS) or GLONASS availability,
some commands or logs may not be applicable to your model. Other supplementary manuals may be
included on CD or as quick start guides to accommodate special models and software features with
unique functionality. It is recommended that you keep these documents and CDs together for easy
reference.
It is beyond the scope of this manual to provide details on service or repair. Please contact your local
NovAtel dealer for any customer-service related inquiries, see Customer Service on Page 18.
