1.5 VERIPOS Helpdesk
For initial assistance with troubleshooting see the Troubleshooting section in this
manual. If the troubleshooting section does not resolve the issue, contact the
VERIPOS Helpdesk for further assistance.
VERIPOS encourageall users to promptly report problems or operating queries to
the Helpdesk so that they may receive assistance with fault reports and technical
enquiries.
The VERIPOS Helpdesk is manned 24 hours per day, 365 days per year and is the first
point of contact for technical enquiries and fault reports.
The Helpdesk are trained to provide direct assistance with most queries and problems
and can escalate complex issues to other operational teams where required.
1.6 VERIPOS Online Support System (VOSS)
VERIPOShave an online customer support system known as VOSS, which provides a
system for raising tickets which are automatically routed to the VERIPOS Helpdesk.
Additionally, VOSS provides technical documentation, VERIPOS software and an FAQ
knowledge base.
1.7 Enabling the equipment for
use
VERIPOS correction signals are provided as a chargeable service.
In order for equipmentto decode correctionsand output positions, it must be enabled.
The enable/disable procedure is detailed in section Enabling Process.
When VERIPOS services are not required some contracts may allow for disabling
the service to avoid charges.
To use VERIPOS correction signals a contract between the user’s company and the
VERIPOS Operations department (knownasServiceAccessLicense, or SAL) mustbe in
place.
To avoid delays, users should record the SAL number associated with the
VERIPOS equipment.
The Helpdesk is not authorised to issue a code unless an active SAL
exists.

1.8 Waste electrical and electronic equipment
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (hereinafter referred to as the
“WEEE directive”) places an obligation on EU-based manufacturers, distributors, retailers
and importers to take back electronic products at the end of their useful life. A sister
directive, RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) complements the WEEE directive
by banning the presence of specific hazardous substances in the products at the design
phase. The WEEE directive covers all VERIPOS products imported into the EU as of
August 13 2005. EU-based manufacturers, distributors, retailers and importers are
obliged to finance the costs of recovery from municipal collection points, reuse, and
recycling of specified percentages per the requirements contained in the WEEE
Directive.
Instructions for disposal of WEEE by users in the European Union
Products which have the undernoted symbol located on either the product itself or its
packaging indicates that the product must not be disposed of with other waste. Instead, it
is the user’s responsibility to dispose of the product by handing it over to a designated
collection point for the recycling of WEEE.
The separate collection and recycling of your WEEE at the time of disposal will help to
conserve natural resources and ensure that it is recycled in a manner that protects
human health and the environment. For more information about recycling centres, please
contact the local city office, the household waste disposal service or the product supplier.

The controls for working with the LD5 are all available on the front panel. The LD5 control
panel is used to configure the unit using the main screen display.
2.1 LD5 Variants
2.1.1 Available LD5 Variants
There are various LD5 IMU variants available. The variants depict the hardware installed
in the unit. In addition to the common variants, there are also Mod variants which allow
the use of different antenna configurations.
The 'C' variants are fitted with NovAtel GNSS receiver cards.
The GNSS constellations which can be used in the VERIPOS solutions calculated by your
LD5 will depend on the LD5 variant and the VERIPOS service which the LD5 is enabled
for.

*C and C HDT variants have the same hardware and antenna connections. C
variants can have the GNSS heading option enabled by applying a heading license,
thus making them C3 HDT’s. With applying the license, it then enables the AUX
connector for use with an antenna to compute Heading on the GNSS receiver.
An on-screen icon for each optional receiver module(GNSSor MFBeacon)will only be
shown when the module is fitted. For example, an LD5-C2 will not have an MF
receiver card installed, therefore no MF related options shall be displayed within the
LD5 menus.

Where required, refer to the LD5 Installation Manual and the Antenna & Coaxial cable
Installation Guide.
Plug in power to the rear of the unit.Wait a few minutes while a self-test is performed.
Following successful test you will see the Home screen, as shown below. The LD5
may be disabled when first powered up. If the unit is disabled the L-Band, GNSS and
Enabled indicator icons will be red.
To receive correction data, connectiontoa VERIPOS L-Band beam is required.Once a
suitable beam has been selected and signal synchronisation achieved, the unit can
be enabled by the 6.1 VERIPOS Helpdesk.
If there is a problem, refer to the Troubleshootingchapter in this manual.

Time (5) shown is in universal time coordinated format (UTC).
The receiver card icons, L-Band (6), GNSS (7) and MF (8), give access to card status
information and configuration controls. The icon colour will change between red or green,
depending on the status of the service. Some LD5 units may not have all cards fitted and
only when a receiver card is present will it appear on the Home screen.
Configuration of each installed receiver card is achieved using the arrows, return, Home
and tick buttons. These are located on the control pad found on the right-hand side of the
LD5 front panel.

Use the right/left navigation arrows to view more stations. To enable or disable stations,
move the cursor to the appropriate box using the arrow keys. Then use the tick (✓) key to
toggle stations between enabled (green) and disabled (red).
Referencestationson RTCMa are used internallyand are also available for output to other
devices. VERIPOS recommend in most cases that are stations are enabled. The LD5 will
automatically use the closest six stations in internal position computations.
2.5.4 L-Band > Config > Beam selection
This step describes how to select a satellite beam to receive VERIPOS correction data.
If you are unsure of which VERIPOS beam(s) cover the area of operations, a chart
showing beam names and coverage footprints is available in the Reference
Information chapter. Up to date beam coverage charts are also available on VOSS.
Additionally the free software VeriChart is also available. It allows VERIPOS users to
generate more refined charts based on vessel position and includes the relative
azimuths and elevations of available beams.
From the Home screen use the navigation panel keys to select L-Band > Config >
Beam Selection
Use the arrow keys to navigate to a beam appropriate for your region and select using
the tick button. Select (using tick again) a second time to switch to the beam.
The ‘S’ (Sync) icon will turn from red to green when a usable beam has been
selected and beam synchronisation has been successful.
2.5.5 L-Band > Config > Antenna Bias
The antenna bias menu allows the antenna voltage to be turned On or Off, out from the
ANT connection at the rear of the LD5. When using a VERIPOS supplied antenna, the
antenna voltage should normally be On, as the antenna requires power to operate.
However, when the LD5 is connected to a vessel tracking dish such as a Fleet system,
the voltage may be turned Off.

The function of the ANT antenna connection will vary depending on the LD5 variant. For
example, on an LD5-C3, the ANT connector is used for L-Band and GNSS. On an LD5-
C3 Mod 2, the ANT connector is only used for L-Band.
Please refer to Section 2.1 for further information regarding LD5 variants and Mods.
2.5.6 L-Band > Access Info
If the LD5 has beam sync and is enabled the Home screen “E” symbol will appear as
green. If the unit has sync but the unit is disabled, navigate to Home > L-Band > Access
