Chapter 2 – General Description
This document refers to the SAT-IDP series, including their variants. Variants are indicated by alphabetic
suffixes. Most variants differ in physical characteristics only –for example bottom or side entry connector,
magnetic feet etc.
The SAT-IDP is a compact, single unit, low data rate satellite terminal, designed to operate over the Inmarsat
satellites using the IsatData Pro protocols. With an integral GPS receiver, the SAT-IDP provides low cost
satellite communications for applications such as asset tracking, telematics and SCADA exception reporting.
The SAT-IDP utilises five Inmarsat satellites providing near Global Coverage. Each satellite covers an ‘Ocean
Region’ (Global –Americas, Global - Europe, Middle East, Africa, Global - Asia Pacific, Spot - Atlantic Ocean
Region West South Central and Spot - Indian Ocean Region North East).
IsatData Pro mode of operation provides a data rate for the forward (to terminal) messages of approximately
3000 Symbols/second* with typical latency of: 100 bytes: 12 seconds; 1,000 bytes: 70 seconds**, Forward
channel can contain 2 to 6400 bytes**.
Return channel (from terminal) messages can contain 2 to 10,000 bytes** with a typical latency of: 100 bytes:
20 seconds; 1,000 bytes: 45seconds**. Traffic channel, on which messages to the terminal are received, is
determined from the internally stored configuration obtain from the Broadcast/Forward channel.
Mounting is via 3x M4 (No. 8) bolts or central M25 thread on base. Cable entry is from the centre base,
connector details are given on page 18.
* (As per IDP protocol spec- User bits are less than that because of protocol overheads)
** (For all latency, max size values are as per IDP protocol spec)
2.1 Model Types
The SAT-IDP Model Types consist of the standard model (as shown in Figure 1) and the variants shown in
Figure 2 and Figure 3. All units are functionally identical and only differ in that they offer various cable exit
and termination options, which may then be used with optional extension cables.

Chapter 3 - Installation
IMPORTANT: Installation and service should only be carried out by suitably
qualified service personnel.
Local working practices and regulations for wiring and installations must be adhered to at all times.
3.1 Power Requirements
The equipment is powered from an external DC supply of 9.6V to 32V. The DC supply must be capable of
providing a maximum VA of 9.6W, for example 1A @ 9.6V or 0.3A @ 32V.
External power is connected via the 12-way connector (see page 18 for connector details and pin connections)
When installing the SAT-IDP, adequate circuit protection must be provided as required by local regulations.
IMPORTANT: If connecting to an external battery, the SAT-IDP requires an
external fast acting fuse connected in series with the +ve supply at the battery end
of the cable.

Minimum wire gauge
9.6 to 32 VDC
2A
24 AWG (7/0.2)
IMPORTANT: If an external AC/DC Adaptor is used to power the equipment, it
must meet the requirements of EN 60950-1. The output of the Adaptor must also
meet the SELV limits of EN 60950-1.
3.2 Cable
It is recommended that cable routing is planned and operation tested before committing to a permanent
installation. The maximum cable diameter must not exceed 7mm, the maximum allowed by the terminal
connector.

MAN-0077 Honeywell Global Tracking Ltd 9
The SAT-IDP is supplied without cable or mating connector as standard. Suitable cables and/or
connectors can be purchased separately from your equipment supplier or authorised dealer. See page
18 for connector and pin out details.
When routing the cable avoid sharp edges and pinches.
Be aware of the minimum static bend radius of the cable.
Mechanical pressure on the cable may cause loss of functionality or even a short circuit and
subsequent damage to the terminal.
Use only shielded cables for connecting to peripherals. Using shielded cables ensures that the
appropriate EMC classifications are maintained.
The captive cable on the SAT-IDP-BC, SAT IDP-SC, SAT-401C and SAT-401E is not user replaceable,
tampering with the cable or their fixing points may void the warranty. Damage to the cable could result
in the terminal having to be replaced.
3.3 Location
The SAT-IDP is only weatherproof if the interface connector is correctly mated. Please consult your
dealer if you are in any doubt.
The SAT-IDP should be located with an unobstructed, clear view of the sky.
The SAT-IDP should be mounted on a flat horizontal surface.
Consider the position of the satellites. The Inmarsat satellites are in geostationary orbits above the
equator. (i.e., in the Northern hemisphere the satellites are located to the South; in the Southern
hemisphere the satellites are located to the North.) The further away from the Equator the SAT-IDP is,
the lower the degree of elevation will be above the horizon.
If you plan to install the SAT-IDP in a partially enclosed environment, test operation before committing
to a permanent installation.
On vehicles, the SAT-IDP should be located on the highest point possible, free from obstructions and
safe from damage during normal operation of the host vehicle.
For installations exposed to shock and/or vibration, use a mounting scheme that isolates the unit from
the excessive shock and/or vibration.
Choose a location that is not near radar installations, other satellite communication equipment, and/or
microwave dishes to prevent RF jamming.
Avoid mounting on hot surfaces.
Avoid prolonged exposure to anti-freeze, detergents, windscreen washer fluid and any other similar
chemicals.

MAN-0077 Honeywell Global Tracking Ltd 10
3.4 Mounting
If possible, try the installation before drilling any holes or fixing cable.
Record the unit ISN number (Inmarsat Serial Number) for future reference.
Fit the supplied rubber pads to the base of the SAT-401E to avoid damage to the vehicle.
The SAT-IDP and SAT-401C variants may be mounted by using either the three outer M4 mounting
holes or the M25 thread on the base.
The SAT-IDP-SC, SAT-401E is designed as a portable solution and does not require permanent fitting.
If using the three outer mounting holes (recommended for installations exposed to shock and/or high
vibration and/or uneven surfaces):
oBore a central 40mm hole.
oPosition the terminal centrally and mark the location of the three mounting holes.
oDrill three 4.5mm mounting holes.
oSecure the terminal in place using M4 (No.8) nuts and bolts - Do not over tighten (1.5Nm Max)
oAlternatively, secure using fastenings appropriate to the mounting surface - Do not over
tighten (1.5Nm Max).
If using the M25 base mounting thread:
oBore a 26mm hole to pass the connector (SAT-IDP only) and mounting thread through (and
cable on SAT-401C model).
oSecure using M25 nut - Do not over tighten (2.0Nm Max).
Do not paint the SAT-IDP enclosure.
Do not attach any foreign object to the enclosure anywhere above the three outer mounting holes.

3.5 Applying Power
Before connecting the SAT-IDP to an external voltage source, ensure that the polarity is correct and the
voltage source (at the input to the SAT-IDP) is between 9.6V and 32V. See page 18 for connector pin out
description. See page 8 for further details and requirements regarding the power source.
Check the circuit, in particular fuses and/or circuit protection devices.
Always ensure that the ground connection is connected before power is applied.
3.6 Operational Check
When the SAT-IDP first powers up, it starts its GPS receiver. After it has acquired its GPS position it identifies
the best Ocean Region to use and proceeds to acquire the IsatData Pro satellite signals. If, for some reason,
the unit is not able to obtain a valid GPS reading within two minutes, it will attempt to acquire IsatData Pro on
the default Ocean Region satellite (AORE).
If you wish to check the overall system operation it will be necessary to ensure that the terminal is activated on
a known gateway and that you have access to the application running there so that you can view the received
data. If you do not have access to an application of your own, it is possible to set up your terminal on one of
the Honeywell Global Tracking websites in order to perform end-to-end testing. Please consult your service
provider for details of the activation that has been put in place for your terminal. If you do not have access to
the application, it is still possible to check the local operation of the terminal and its installation by using the
following sequence. In this case it will then be necessary to check the application part of the system later.
With the SAT-IDP in position, apply power to the unit and monitor the indicator. The indicator cycles through
the patterns shown in the tables, with each state lasting for half a second.

The terminal will transmit its initial report (the indicator turns orange for 2 or 10 seconds) after successfully
demodulating the Traffic Channel. The total process to transmission will normally take less than one minute.
However, if the unit needs to acquire the Bulletin Board (see Chapter 8), this time could extend to as much as
eight minutes.

MAN-0077 Honeywell Global Tracking Ltd 14
Providing that your terminal has been activated and set up within an application, the data will be available
within approximately one minute of the actual transmission, although this is dependent on the operation of the
software being used by your service provider as well as the link to the Honeywell Global Tracking server.
Your service provider will be able to supply you with further details regarding the normal use of the terminal, as
well as scripts and forward channel use.
WARNING: The information in this chapter only applies to terminals that are set at
Factory Default and with the default script installed (see Chapter 5 –Factory
Defaults). If you are unsure about the state of your terminal, you should contact
your service provider.

MAN-0077 Honeywell Global Tracking Ltd 15
Chapter 4 - Functionality
For full functional details of the SAT-IDP contact your authorised dealer.

MAN-0077 Honeywell Global Tracking Ltd 16
Chapter 5 – Factory Defaults
The terminal is shipped with Factory Defaults set. When power is initially applied, the script timer, alarm and
operation definitions are cleared; the terminal then powers up, acquires the GPS position and tunes to the best
ocean region for the terminal location. Once the terminal has acquired the IDP satellite signal it transmits a
single position report burst.
