QPRO Technical Data Sheet
Document 1137-0901, REV A 1
1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
Welcome to the QUAKE
™
QPRO Satellite + GPRS/GSM Global Communication modem! The QUAKE
QPRO is a complete IP67 enclosed solution ready for global use. The QPRO is designed to communicate
with GSM terrestrial network systems when a cell signal is available, and to slide seamlessly into its back-up
mode and communicate with a Satellite System when a cell signal is not available. Besides this advanced
modem functionality, the QPRO has additional processing power, memory, and I/Os that allow sophisticated
customer applications to run within the modem. Using an integrated power regulator, the QPRO is designed
to operate over a 6-32 volt input range. It has been specifically designed to meet the demanding
requirements of vehicular environments and directly supports communication over a vehicle bus using the
SAE J1939 standards. These features make the QPRO an ideal stand-alone solution for a large variety of
applications including transportation, oil and gas and heavy equipment markets.
This Data Sheet presents an overview of the QPRO technology, device specifications, integration guidelines,
and basic information on configuring and programming. Additional QUAKE manuals, including the User’s
Guide to Q4000/QPRO, P/N 1135-4713, can be accessed on our website or by contacting QUAKE Customer
Support at http://QUAKEglobal.com/support/.
1.2 Control Options
The QPRO has the option of running in standalone mode or QUAKE Communications Protocol (QCP)
mode.
In standalone mode, the user’s application resides directly on the modem. QUAKE provides three sample
applications as part of the Development Kit to help users create, build and run their own custom applications.
QCP mode is used to send data via GSM/GPRS, or a single Satellite System such as Orbcomm, Iridium or
Globalstar. Customers who use the Q4000/QPRO in this mode typically have a processor, and the
necessary I/O for their specific applications, and use the Q4000/QPRO as a modem only, or to add
functionality such as addition I/O’s, GPS, etc. The QUAKE Communication Protocol (QCP) is used to
communicate between the QPRO and the application.
1.3 Reference Manuals
In the case of Orbcomm, OSI protocol pkt was received from the SCCS.

2.2 System Overview and Signal Descriptions
The following System Block Diagram describes the basic functional blocks of the QPRO:
Figure 2-2, QPRO System Block Diagram for Fully Loaded Configuration
2.3 Input Power
2.3.1 Internal Power Supply Description
The QPRO contains the required internal regulation and reverse bias/overvoltage protection to meet J1455
specifications for 12VDC and 24VDC systems. DC power of +6VDC to +32VDC is supplied through pin 1
(BATT+) and pin 2 (GND) of the multi-pin connector. The ground pins are connected directly to the chassis of
the QPRO. It is recommended that the power supply feeding the QPRO be protected with a fast-blow fuse

sized appropriately per the expected current draw as shown Table 2-1, Input Power Current draw is
dependent on the features and options that are installed and operating. See Table 2-2, , for typical power
consumption.
2.3.2 External Power Supply Requirements
In order for the modem to boot properly:
1) The supply voltage must be below 1.4 volts for 4 seconds before re-applying the 6 to 32 V.
2) The rise time on the supply voltage must be 10ms maximum, from 0 to 6Vdc.
2.3.3 Load Dump Protection
To pass the load dump testing requirement of the J1455 specification, there must be a minimum of two 33V
diodes placed in parallel between power and ground of the input power supply. This functionality has been
built into the QPRO.
2.3.4 Typical Power Consumption
This section describes the typical power consumptions of each component of the QPRO modem. Table 1 is
a listing of the required input voltage limits and Table 2 gives a break down of the different components of
the QPRO.

Items with burst or slot in the notes are the peak values.
* - Use of ORBCOMM and Iridium satellite network is not available when modem’s voltage drops below 10.5
VDC.
** - Relay current is 1A MAX at 25C, .5A MAX at 85C. Power usage depends on customer
application.
DC Input power to QUAKE QPRO modems is +6.0V to +32.0VDC. Supplied input voltages outside this
range will result in damage to the modem and void the warranty.
2.3.5 Power Calculation
Depending on the configuration of the modem, add the appropriate power. For example:
QPRO with GSM, GPS and ORBCOMM with no messages being sent:
Current Calculation:
0.045 A (Processor Only) + 0.020 A (GSM RX) + 0.010 A (GPS) + 0.035 A (ORBCOMM RX)
= 0.11 A or 110 mA
Power Calculation:
0.54 W (Processor Only) + 0.24 W (GSM RX) + 0.12 W (GPS) + 0.42 W (ORBCOMM RX)
= 0.11A * 12 V = 1.32 W

•External GSM
oGSM Serial Port - A QPRO that DOES NOT include an internal GSM module has an option
to use an RS-232 serial port to communicate with an external GSM module, or it can be
used as an additional serial port with the use of a custom application. For example, the AUX
Port could be used for an External GSM:
Pins: 5 (Rx), 6 (Tx), and GND (Pin 9, 12, 26, or 35).
Use only approved GSM antennas

4.2.1 Switched Digital Relay
Four available: Pins 18/19 and 20/21
•Two pins route the supplied input voltage on Pins 18 and 19.
•Two pins provide switch closure to ground Pins 20 and 21.
These inputs can sink 1A continuous current at ambient temperatures and are de-rated as seen in the chart
below.
Figure 4-6, Switched Relay Characteristics
Warning: Connecting SW_UBATT1 or SW_UBATT2 (pin 27 and 25) directly to ground while the switch
is turned “ON” will damage the unit. If SW_GND1 or SW_GND2 (pin 26 and 28) is tied directly to VBATT (Pin
