Installing an xNAV
Use 90° brackets or alternative
mounting solution e.g. RT-Strut, to
secure xNAV rigidly to vehicle.
Align red marks on user cable
and socket, then push to connect.
Apply power (10-31 V d.c).
Connect Ethernet to the J3
Ethernet port cross coupler.
Green power LED light will
appear.
Positioning the antennas
STEP 2
Antenna separation should be
between 1 m and 5 m apart. Place
the GNSS antennas on a metal
parallel surface. Make sure the
antennas have a ground plane to
prevent GPS signal refl ection.
Follow steps in NAVconfi g:
1. Product Selection: Select relevant xNAV model.
2. Read Confi gurations: Use default settings.
3. Orientation: Set the Y and Z axis points to match your
installation.
4. Primary Antenna: Measure from the xNAV’s measurement
points to the primary antenna along the three vehicle axes and
enter the measurements accurately.
5. Secondary Antenna: Select ‘Enable Secondary Antenna’ and
enter the accurate measurements between the antennas. Measure
as accurately as possible but below 5 cm. Static Initialisation can
be enabled at this stage.
6. Wheel Confi guration: Confi gure for land vehicles only.
7. Options: Use default settings.
8. Commit: Make sure xNAV is connected and turned on. Select
the appropriate IP address and click commit.
9. Save/Finish: The data will be stored internally on the xNAV
once committed but use the option to store locally if necessary.
STEP 3
Once installed go to;
Start > All Programs > OxTS >
