PwrPak7 Installation Overview

When the appropriate equipment is selected, complete the following steps to set up and begin using the NovAtel GNSS receiver.

1. Mount the GNSS antenna.
   For a PwrPak7D, PwrPak7D-E1 or PwrPak7D-E2, mount the primary and secondary GNSS antennas.
   See Mounting the GNSS Antenna for more information.

2. Mount the receiver.
   For a PwrPak7 or PwrPak7D, refer to Mount the PwrPak7.
   For a PwrPak7-E1, PwrPak7D-E1, PwrPak7-E2 or PwrPak7D-E2, refer to Mount the PwrPak7-E1.

3. For a PwrPak7, PwrPak7-E1 and PwrPak7-E2, connect one end of the antenna cable to the GNSS antenna and the other end of the cable to the antenna connector (ANT) on the receiver.
   Use a TNC torque wrench to tighten the connection to 1.35 Nꞏm (12 in-lbs) maximum.

   For a PwrPak7D, PwrPak7D-E1 or PwrPak7D-E2:
   Connect an antenna cable from the primary GNSS antenna to the ANT 1 connector on the receiver.
   Connect a second antenna cable from the secondary GNSS antenna to the ANT 2 connector on the receiver.
   Use an SMA torque wrench to tighten the connections to 0.9 Nꞏm (8 in-lbs) maximum.

   The PwrPak7 supplies +5 VDC (200 mA maximum) to the antenna LNA through the center conductor of the antenna cable. See Antenna LNA Power for more information.

4. Connect the receiver to other GNSS system components, such as a computer or data terminal, using the communication ports or Wi-Fi.
   See Connect the PwrPak7 to Data Communication Equipment.

5. Connect other GNSS system components using the input and output lines.
   See Connect I/O Signals to the PwrPak7.

6. Connect the supplied power cable to the power port (PWR) on the receiver and then connect the power cable to the power supply.
   Ensure a 2 A slow blow fuse is incorporated in the power wiring.
   See Connect Power to the PwrPak7 and Power Supply Requirements for the PwrPak7 for details.
