Mount the SPAN System Components

  1. Mount the antenna. See Mounting the GNSS Antenna.

  2. Mount the OEM7 receiver. See Card Installation Overview for information about installing an OEM7 receiver.

  3. Install the MIC in a secure enclosure to reduce environmental exposure and RF interference. If there is sufficient space, the MIC can reside in the same enclosure as the receiver.

    Use the screws supplied with the MIC card to secure the MIC to its mounting location. See MIC Mechanical Drawings for the MIC dimensions.

    Ensure the MIC is mounted close enough to the IMU so the interface cable can reach both devices.

    Ensure all standoffs are properly installed and the mounting location is flat.
    The amount of board deflection (bow and twist) must not exceed 0.75%. For example, on the MIC which is 75 mm long and 46 mm wide, the deflection along the length must not exceed 0.56 mm and the deflection along the width must not exceed 0.34 mm.

  4. Mount the IMU. See Mount the IMU.
