Optional Accessories
The following optional accessory is available from NovAtel:
-
CPT7 Adapter Plate (01020112)
This plate mounts on the CPT7 and provides SPAN-CPT and SPAN-IGM compatible mounting holes. See Secure the CPT7 Using the Adapter Plate.
CPT7 Cables
To prevent damage to both the receiver and the cables, each connector can be inserted in only one way. Also, the IO1 and IO2 connectors are keyed so that the cable can only be inserted in the connector for which it is intended.
Furthermore, the connectors used to mate the cables to the receiver require careful insertion and removal. The cables for IO1 and IO2 use push/pull connectors. The cables for RF1 and RF2 use threaded connectors. Observe the following when handling cables.
-
Make certain to use the appropriate cable for the CPT7 connector
-
Insert the connector until it is on straight and secure
-
To remove a cable, grasp it by the connector
Do not pull directly on a cable.
