2ADMA-G
2.1 MOUNTING THE ADMA-G
-The ADMA-G can be installed anywhere in the vehicle.
-Install the ADMA-G on a rigid system. Ensure that a rotational or linear motion of the
ADMA-G is avoided while the vehicle is moving.
-The ADMA-G is usually installed with the arrow on the ADMA facing towards the driving
direction. Other installation positions are possible if the relevant modifications are made
in the ADMA Webinterface (Menu 6 Parameters).
-The GNSS antenna must be mounted on the roof of the vehicle. For best performance, it
is necessary to mount the GNSS antenna(s) away from any object that may shadow the
satellite signal.
Note:
Safe and secure installation of the ADMA is essential to receive reliable data.

3ADMA-SPEED
3.1 MOUNTING THE ADMA-SPEED
-Mount the sensor unit in a suitable position (Figure 5) on the roof of the vehicle.
-The data processing unit can be installed anywhere in the vehicle.
-The sensor unit is usually installed with cabling facing backwards to the driving direction.
Other installation positions are possible if the relevant modifications are made in the
ADMA Webinterface (Menu 6 Parameters).
Note:
Safe and secure installation of the ADMA-Speed is essential to receive reliable data.
Figure 4 ADMA-Speed point of installation
Do not mount the ADMA-Speed nearby or directly on a glass roof. We recommend to keep the
system at least 30 cm away from glass surface or outer edges of the vehicle.

-The ADMA-Slim can be installed in a suitable position anywhere in, or on the roof of the
vehicle.
-The GNSS antenna must be mounted on the vehicle's roof. For best performance, it is
necessary to mount the GNSS antenna(s) away from any object that may shadow the
satellite signal.
-Install the ADMA-Slim on a rigid system. Ensure that a rotational or linear motion of the
ADMA-Slim is avoided while the vehicle is moving.
-The ADMA-Slim is usually installed with the x-axis arrow on the ADMA-Slim facing towards
the driving direction. Other installation positions are possible if the relevant
modifications are made in the ADMA Webinterface (Menu 6 Parameters).

4.4 MOUNTING OFFSETS –SINGLE ANTENNA
The determination of the offset between ADMA-Slim and GNSS antenna follows the same
concept as for the ADMA-G system.

5DUAL ANTENNA SYSTEMS
5.1 MOUNTING THE DUAL ANTENNAS
The easiest way to install the dual antennas is to place both antennas on the same longitudinal
axis at the same height. The primary GNSS antenna should be installed behind the second
antenna with a minimum distance of 50 cm to a maximum distance of 200 cm. Thus, no
configuration of the offsets between the Secondary GNSS Antenna to the Primary GNSS
Antenna in the ADMA Webinterface is necessary. Only the mounting offsets between Primary
GNSS Antenna and ADMA must be defined.
In case of lateral or height offset between the antennas, the descending offsets must be
configured in XYZ axis via ADMA Webinterface.
Warning:
It is important that both antennas are of the same type. Using two different types of antenna may cause the
solution to fail.

5.2 DETERMINING THE OFFSET BETWEEN THE GNSS ANTENNAS AND
ADMA
5.2.1 Mounting offsets Primary GNSS Antenna to ADMA
The Primary GNSS Antenna always refer to GNSS ANT1 interface of the ADMA. This offset must
always be determined.

5.2.2 Mounting offsets Secondary GNSS Antenna to Primary GNSS Antenna
The Secondary GNSS Antenna refers to the Primary GNSS Antenna, in case of lateral and/or
height offset between Primary and Secondary GNSS Antenna the offsets must be determined.

6CONNECTING THE ADMA WEBINTERFACE
The Webinterface is integrated in the ADMA. To access, the following settings of the network
connection must be done:
1. Open Network Connections by clicking the Windows Start button. Open the Control
Panel and change to the menu Network and Sharing Center, click View network
connections.
2. Right-click the interface you like to adapt, then open the Properties dialog. If you're asked
for an administrator password or confirmation, enter the password or provide the
required confirmation.
3. Click the Networking tab. Under This connection uses the following items, choose
Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4), then choose Properties.
Figure 11 The Network Connection Properties dialog box

4. To specify an IP address, click Use the following IP address.
IP-Adress: 192.168.88.XXX
Subnetzmask: 255.255.255.0
Figure 12 The Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties dialog box
5. To check your settings, please start the internet browser of your computer. Type in
http://192.168.88.30 in the address bar, the ADMA Webinterface should appear.
Note: Your Proxy settings must be deactivated!

7RECOMMENDED SETTINGS
BEHAVIOUR
Autostart
The ADMA will start the measurement-
mode automatically after powering up.
Prealignment
The horizon is determined during this
period. Do not move the vehicle, do not
close doors.
Typical values:
10 sec for passenger cars
20 sec for trucks
DATA LINK
Interface Selection
Used interfaces for data output.
Interface CAN:
Define the CAN interface hardware
settings.
The default Base ID is set to 100 dec.
The CAN baud rate is usually set to
1000 kBaud. This provides the following
advantages:
•Greater number of maximum
channels
•Higher data rate
•Lower transmission time
Ethernet Settings
The IP settings of each Ethernet interface
can be done manually.
In case the connection to the user defined
IP address fails use the default IP
192.168.88.30.
