distributed in the sky. If it is stuck on blinking yellow, there may be excessive blockage or the unit
may be defective. Make sure the unit has an unobstructed view of the sky. Try power cycling the
unit.
If the yellow LED is on, but the green does not turn on within five minutes than no SBAS or
DGPS positions are available. If you are using SBAS, make sure SBAS is available in your area
and that the unit is configured to enable SBAS positions (SBASCONTROL ENABLE). For
DGPS, make sure the unit is configured with the correct serial port parameters and to accept the
DGPS protocol your area is using and that your data modem is connected and working.
The green LED blinks when SBAS is detected then it comes on solid when SBAS is enabled. The
LED will stay dark if SBAS is not detected.
2.2.3 Emulated Radar (ER)
The SMART-MR10 outputs an emulated radar signal via the bare wires labeled ER GND and
ER_OUT on the SMART-MR10 cable. See Table 9 on page 72 for the pin-out details of this cable.
The ER outputs a logic high of supply voltage minus 0.5V minimum and logic low of 0.5V maximum
with a rise and fall time of less than 1 ms. Its output references signal GND and provides logic low
output until its speed is greater than 1 km/hr. ER can be configured to operate at one of three distinct
frequencies (26.11, 28.12 or 36.11 Hz/km/hr, with 36.11 Hz/km/hr being the default value) and with
an effective range from 1 km/hr to 55 km/hr for near-horizontal applications. See Appendix B.6

2.2.4 Controller Area Network (CAN)
NMEA 2000 is a CAN standard created by the National Marine Electronics Association and designed
to support networking in marine applications. It functions over a longer physical distance, and
supports more physical nodes than ISO 11783. The relationship between NMEA2000 and SAE J1939
is that J1939 is the standard, while the NMEA 2000 group has added some new messages (called
PGNs or Parameter Group Numbers) and added a new, additional transport protocol called
FastPacket. NMEA2000 compliant, for all intents and purposes, means J1939 compliant plus support
for new NMEA2000 messages. In other word, one cannot have NMEA2000 without J1939 support as
well. J1939 is additionally “harmonized” with ISO 11783, a standard for the agriculture industry.
