Product Overview
This section is designed to help you become familiar with the structure, features, and func-
tions of the VersaPNT.
1.1 Interfaces Overview
All of VersaPNT's interfaces are integrated into the unit's connectors, which are located on
the front panel:
Figure 1-1: VersaPNT front panel connectors
Note: VersaPNT is highly configurable and the connections can be adjusted
many different ways. Your interface configuration may vary based on
options you selected during the ordering process.
The following interfaces are provided:

1.2 Connectors and their Pinouts
All of VersaPNT's connectors are provided at the front panel of the unit, below the Status
LEDs.
1.2.1 Power Connector
Note: View in mating direction from front.

1 VMain (10 to 32V)
2 -not used-
3 VStandby (10 to 32 V)
4 GND (to Standby)
5 GND (to Main)
This product is designed to handle a maximum voltage of up to 32 VDC. Power supplies
with higher voltage or transient/ cranking power will require a power conditioner or surge
blocker.
Caution: Reversed polarity can blow an internal fuse that protects the
product from damage. Use care when building power cables.

1.2 Connectors and their Pinouts

Test any new cables to safely power the unit before connecting your VersaPNT to any
other inputs or outputs (such as a GNSS antenna), and before grounding your unit to a
vehicle.
1.2.2 Input/Output Connector
VersaPNT has a 26- pin input/output connector that offers 8 software- configurable
CHANNELS, plus one fixed DCLS channel, and a USB interface. To learn more about types
of interfaces and signals, and how to configure them, see "Assigning I/O Pins" on page23.

It is also possible to wire your connector to 100MbE, using only 4 wires. Contact Tech Sup-
port for more information.
1.2.4 Optional I/O Connector
The Optional I/O connector is used in conjunction with the Option Board that is available
for VersaPNT. If the unit is not equipped with an Option Board, this connector is not used.
