UIC Installation

For an IMU that cannot communicate directly to a NovAtel OEM7 receiver (e.g. SDLC/HDLC), an interface card is required for communication. The Universal Interface Controller (UIC) provides this communication between an OEM7 receiver card and the IMU, specifically an IMU that has higher power requirements.

Use a UIC to connect the following IMUs with an OEM7 receiver: OEM-IMU-ISA-100C, LN200(C) and OEM-IMU-µIMU-IC. For other IMUs that require an interface card and have lower power requirements (e.g. HG1700, OEM-HG1900 and OEM-HG1930) a MEMS Interface Card (MIC) can be used. See MIC Installation.

For information about the UIC connectors and pinouts, see UIC Connectors.

For information about the OEM7 receiver card connectors and pinouts, refer to Technical Specifications.

Important! Assemble in accordance with applicable industry standards. Ensure all Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) measures are in place, in particular, use a ground strap before exposing or handling any electronic items, including the UIC, receiver and IMU. Take care to prevent damaging or marring painted surfaces, O-rings, sealing surfaces and the IMU.
For more information about ESD practices, see Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Practices.

Use the following steps to install the OEM7 receiver and UIC:

  1. Mount the components of the SPAN system. See Mount the SPAN System Components.

  2. Connect the IMU to the UIC. See Connect the IMU to the UIC.

  3. Connect the UIC to the OEM7 receiver. See Connect the UIC to a receiver.

  4. Connect power to the UIC and OEM7 receiver. See Connect Power to the UIC and OEM7 Receiver.
