OXTS xNAV Manuals

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 > NAVconfi g Allow permission for NAVconfi g to use network. This can be changed in windows Firewall.

More detailed information can be found in the full user manual. 1. Installing an xNAV When mounting an xNAV, it is important to ensure there can be no movement relative to the body being measured, as this will affect the accuracy of your measurements. The xNAV can be secured using the M3 mounting holes on the side of the body and the pre-formed 90° brackets that are supplied with each system. Brackets allowing an xNAV to be attached to an RT-Strut for use in road vehicles is also available as an optional extra. The standard orientation of the measurement axes are shown in Figure 1. This orientation is common to all models of xNAV, and is marked on top of the xNAV along with the origin of the inertial measurement unit (IMU). By default the xNAV expects its y-axis to point right and the z- axis to point down, although it can be mounted in any orientation as long as this is defined using the NAVconfig configuration software. During configuration, remember that measurements should be made to the IMU origin indicated on the lid, not to any other point on the system. The xNAV will automatically re-orientate its output measurements using information provided during the configuration process. It is not vital to precisely align the xNAV’s axes to the body being measured as the system is capable of automatically resolving many of these. However, to quickly achieve the best results, you should aim to align them as closely as possible. A dc power supply between 10–31 V and capable of delivering 7 W will be required. Power is delivered via the main connector. This connector is keyed and should not be forced in. Rotate the connector until it inserts easily. When inserted properly the connector locks to Figure 1.
