SPAN installation

A SPAN system consists of an OEM7 receiver, an IMU, a GNSS antenna, power and a communication link (if your application requires real time differential operation). The installation process varies based on the OEM7 receiver.

The SPAN installation section focuses on adding an IMU to the GNSS system.

OEM7 receivers with integrated IMUs do not need additional installation steps.

For information about installing a PwPwrPak7-E1, PwrPak7D-E1, PwrPak7D-E1, PwrPak7-E2 or PwrPak7D-E2, refer to PwrPak7 installation.

For information about installing a CPT7 or CPT7700, refer to CPT7 installation.

For information about installing a SMART7-S, refer to SMART7 installation.

For these receivers continue to SPAN GNSS+INS.

If your IMU enclosure and IMU were supplied separately, additional instructions for installing the IMU into an enclosure are available in the following appendices: HG1700 IMU in Universal Enclosure, LN-200 IMU in Universal enclosure, HG1700 IMU in SPAN HG enclosure and LN-200 IMU in SPAN IMU enclosure.
