User's Manual

The 450 MHz band radios are used to receive GNSS data in Compact Measurement
Record (CMR) format from a reference receiver to one or more roving receivers for
precise machine positioning.
The 900 MHz band radios are used to receive GNSS data in Compact Measurement
Record (CMR) format from a reference receiver to one or more roving receivers for
precise machine positioning. These radios can also communicate 2-way data between an
office computer and the machine.
The 2400 MHz band radios are used to communicate ATS location information and
commands from a base station to a machine for precise positioning.
Some of these radios are offered alone and as well as in GNSS/ATS combination radios.
Hardware Specification
The AQUA meets stringent hardware requirements and is designed to survive in harsh
environments.
It has the following features:
• Flexible antennas for machine installations.
• Physical connection by means of the same 8-pin male Bendix connector previously
used on SN/SNR/TC-series radios. For a description of the connector pinout, see
Pinout Information, page 36.
• In addition, Aqua is designed for use with unconditioned 9 VDC to 32 VDC power.
