9 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
The power supply for GPSRadio32V2 must meet the following requirements:
(a.) ES1/PS1 for PoE-Devices (Powered Devices) with max. 10W
(b.) ES1/PS2 for PoE-Devices (Powered Devices) with max. 24W
GPSRadio32V2 must only be used in a maximum height of 2 meters above ground. An
accidental dropping of the device from heights above 2 meters entails a risk for serious
injuries, especially to the head.
The RTK Base Station as well as RTK Transceivers must be installed in an elevated position with a clear line of
sight to the EQTracker devices moving within the racing area. Any existing infrastructure (e.g. light poles) can be
used to attach the GNSS antenna and the device. Typically, it is installed near the operation room on a roof.
When installing, ensure that there is an unobstructed view to the sky. No trees or other obstacles may obstruct
especially the GNSS antennas sky sight. For the RTK Base Station's GNSS antenna it is also important, that no pole
swaying or other movements at the place of mounting occur. A fixed position is mandatory for an accurate device
calibration, EQTRacker positioning and operational usage of correction data.
Proceed as follows, after physically mounting an RTK Base Station or RTK Transceiver in its intended location:
6. Connect the dual-band GNSS antenna to the "GNNS" connector.
7. Connect the supplied radio antenna to the "RADIO" connector
8. Connect the M12-to-Ethernet cable to "DATA/POWER OUT" connector
9. Connect the M12-to-Power cable to the "POWER/SERIAL" connector. Remember to use an appropriate
power supply (12-24 VDC; max. 1.2 A).
