CC Pilot™ XS

Installation

Your CC Pilot™ XS must be installed in such a way that the unit is not exposed to any
unnecessary stress or present any traffic danger. In this section, some
recommendations are made regarding methods for how the unit should be i nstalled.

CC Pilot™ XS shall only be installed and serviced by authorized personnel. If the unit is
opened by non-authorised personnel, the warranty becomes void.

Placing and installing of the unit and peripherals

The CC Pilot™ XS shall be installed in a ventilated space where air is able to circulate
around the unit, therefore not near hot air vents or the like. If the unit becomes too
warm, it may not perform to its full capacity and, with high temperature, cease to
function.

If the preceding instructions are not observed, the cooling of the unit can be degraded
which can lead to overheating, consequently causing permanent damage to the unit.

When the CC Pilot™ XS or any device is installed it is important to do so in such a way
that the installation is traffic -safe. One should also avoid installing the unit where it will
block the driver’s view. This applies to both the instrument panel and the view through
windshield. One should also think about how the placement affects personal safety in
the event of a collision.

We recommend installing CC Pilot™ XS in such a way that it is not exposed to
unnecessarily vibration or other stress.

Bracket Mounting

The CC Pilot™ XS is preferably mounted on a convenient bracket which allows for
adjustment of the display’s position and angle. The bracket should have, or be provided
with, a flat fastening plate to which the unit is bolted (VESA 75). To fasten, use the
appropriate M6 cap screw of type MC6S (Allen) or MRT (Torx). Note that the enclosure has
blind holes, which give a maxi mum thread depth in the enclosure of 6.5 mm. The maximum
torque is 2.5 N-m. Apply a thread locker in all bolt holes, e.g. Loctite 222.

User Manual and Reference Handbook for the CC Pilot ™ XS

22

Panel Mount

There are two installation alternatives for panel mounting: front-mounted or rear­mounted.

With a front-mounted installation, use the rubber mask as a seal against the panel
plate. The unit is locked down by applying clamps which are either fixed to the panel
(recommended) or fixed to the unit through holes for VESA75 installation.

By replacing the rubber jacket on the unit with a cut-out rubber gasket, the CC Pilot™
XS can also be rear-mounted inside a suitable panel or equivalent. For this, the eight
fastening holes are used, see the figure below. As a fastener, appropriate machine
screws of type MRT M5 or MC6S M5 can be used. The maximum torque is 2.5 N-m.

If the surface against which the unit will be fastened is not flat, one must be careful so
that so that one does not expose the unit to mechanical stress due to tightening . This is
suitably solved through applying appropriate spacers between the unit and the surface
being attached to. As an alternative, a separate flat fastening plate can be used for the
unit. This is then attached with separate screws, or some type of fasteners, to the
panel. Use a thread locker in all screw holes, e.g. Loctite 222

The drawing above illustrates the spacing of the eight mounting holes for panel
mounting from the rear. The drawings below show unit dimension, mounting holes
placement and cut out for display, buttons and indicators. For other dimensions please

Installing the SIM card

The SIM card is installed in a SIM card holder under the SIM card cover. Install the
SIM -card by unscrewing the six screws holding the SIM card cover and lift the cover
away. Open the flap on the SIM card holder and place the SIM card into the holder,
being careful to slide the card all the way into the holder. Close the flap. Reinstall the
SIM card cover.

Installing the Antenna
Antennas for GPS, GSM/GPRS and Bluetooth can be mounted on the vehicle’s roof or
inside the vehicle’s cabin (e.g. in the windshield). Mounting inside the cabin, however,
degrades the reception. The reception is degraded further in vehicles which have
electrically-heated windshields. Attach the antenna cables to their respective contact
on the unit’s top side. See chapter Connectors for the right choice of antenna cables
and connectors.

For best performance the GPS antenna requires a free viewing angle towards the sky
which covers 130° and that it is mounted at least 400 mm from any other radio
antennas, e.g. FM-antenna.

Cables

Cables shall be installed so that they don’t run the risk of being damaged, pinched or
worn. Avoid bending and twisting cables. Strain-relief on cable assemblies shall be
arranged near the connection to the respective unit. This is in order to avoid stress to
the unit’s contacts. The connectors shall always be screwed-in securely to give good
contact and avoid unnecessary strain.

Through adapter cables, as supplied by CC Systems AB, standard connectors for
Ethernet, USB and COM can be connected to the unit. The hook up of these adapter
cables can and should be placed in a moisture-free, hidden space and should be
secured and strain-relived.

Keyboard and Pointing Device
The Keyboard and Pointing Devices connected to CC Pilot™ XS must support
connection via USB. CC Systems AB offers devices intended for the CC Pilot™ XS.
The keyboard and Pointing Device should be placed in a location that is easily-

accessed, but not in the way when they are not being used.
Consider traffic safety whenever the CC Pilot™ XS is installed and used in vehicle

installations. CC Systems AB does not recommend that the CC Pilot™ XS or its
accessories are used actively by the driver when a risk of injury to people, or damage
to property, is present.

Connecting the Power Supply

This instruction addressed vehicle installations but the principle is the same also for
other types of installations. See also the description of the pinouts for the Power Supply
Connector under the section Connectors.

Carefully observe the connection diagram below. Ensure that their plugs are turned the
right way around and that they are not forced in but lock together smoothly and easily.
GND is connected to the vehicle’s ground.

Battery (pin 1), i.e. the computer’s power supply (+28 VDC) is coupled directly to the
vehicle’s battery (BATTERY) through a 5-A fuse (F1). If applicable connect the on
board computer before any main switch, as per the illustration above.

ON/OFF (pin 2), i.e. the computer’s on/off signal is connected though a 5-A fuse (F2) to
the battery. If the vehicle has a main power switch (S1, MAIN SWITCH) the computer
shall be connected after it, as in the illustration above.

By connecting the power supply according to the illustration above, the vehicle
computer will automatically start when the main switch is turned on, and shut down
when the switch is turned off. While the main switch is in the ON position, the onboard
computer can be turned off and on with the On/Off-button.

The Power Supply Cable’s leads, which are supplied by CC Systems AB, are colour­coded according to the table below.

CC Pilot™ XS

Software

This section gives a short description to some of the software supplied with the CC
Pilot™ XS.

Operating System

The CC Pilot™ XS is supplied with the Windows CE operating system and this manual
provides the basics how to get started with basic operations and configurations.

Windows CE resembles and behaves a lot like Microsoft’s Windows operating system
for the personal computer. But there are fundamental differences. Windows CE is built
up in another way and is intended for other types of units than the PC platform. This
means, among other things that programs intended for a PC running windows won’t
work on Windows CE.

There are several versions of Windows CE and for several different processor families.
In order for third party products to function on the CC Pilot™ XS, the application must
be built for XScale, or alternatively, ARM processors as well as be built for the version
of operating system which the unit is equipped with.

The CC Pilot™ XS offers a multitude of connection alternatives, for instance via, USB.
In order for the device connected to CC Pilot™ XS to function correctly, sometimes
drivers must be installed. CC Systems AB can only guarantee the function for
applications and devices which are tested and approved by CC Systems AB.

Microsoft ActiveSync

Microsoft ActiveSync is a desktop computer tool for Windows used to synchronise
information between the desktop computer and CC Pilot™ XS. Some third party
application also requires to be installed using ActiveSync.

Connection

There are two alternative ways to connect a computer. Either though the COM port or
through a network connection via Ethe rnet. Connecting via Ethernet gives the fastest
communication but requires that the unit first establishes a partnership, which must be
done though a COM co nnection. To connect the CC Pilot™ XS via the COM port use a
null modem cable.

Note that from version 4.0 of ActiveSync the possibility to synchronise using Ethernet
has been limited. To be able to use Ethernet as communication media Active Sync 3.8
should be used.

Establishing a Relationship

The PC connected to your CC Pilot™ XS must run Microsoft Windows and have
Microsoft A ctiveSync installed. If ActiveSync is not installed on the PC, ActiveSync can
be installed from the accompanying CD or downloaded from Microsoft’s homepage.

To be able to synchronise the CC pilot™ XS with the PC, a partnership must be
established between them. A guide takes you through the necessary steps on the PC.
The guide starts automatically when you install Microsoft ActiveSync, it can also be
started manually by starting Microsoft ActiveSync and, in the File menu, chose Get
connected.

User Manual and Reference Handbook for the CC Pilot ™ XS

39

When the dialogue Get Connected is shown, the following steps must be carried out so
that a connection can be established with the CC Pilot™ XS:

Ensure that the CC Pilot™ XS is connected via a null modem cable to a

PC.
Start the CC Pilot™ XS (if it is not already started)
Start the program repllog on the CC Pilot™ XS. This is done via the Start

menu. Click on Run and type repllog in the wi ndow shown and then press

OK.

Program installation

Different Windows CE programs have different requirements on how they shall be
installed. The most common is either that they are installed directly on the CC Pilot™
XS or via Microsoft ActiveSync. Consult the instructions for the program you are
installing to learn exactly how the program is installed.

Connect to the GPS receiver

The connection to the internal GPS receiver operates in the same way as with an
external GPS, which connects on the external COM port. The internal GPS receiver is
connected to an internal COM port, COM 2. The default setting for the baud rate is
4800 baud and position information is sent according to the NMEA standard.
In order to get a signal from the GPS receiver, an antenna must also be connected. For
more information regarding antenna connection please se the Installation chapter.
Occasionally, depending on the time of day and visibility against the sky, there can be
problems with the signal reception from GPS satellites and the receiver then needs
time to position it self. One may therefore need to wait several minutes before position
information can be obtained.

The GPS receiver in itself gives only position information. So, a GIS software is still
needed which interprets the signal, such as a map program.

Creating a dial -up connection with the GSM/GPRS modem

To create a remote connection via the internal GSM/GPRS modem, an antenna must
be mounted to the GSM/GPRS connection on the CC Pilot™ XS. Besides that, a SIM­Card must be installed. See the Installation chapter for information on the SIM card and
antenna.

Setting up the connection

provider. In the CC Pilot™ XS there is a Siemens AC45 modem. Contact your cellular
network provider for information on issuing the right AT-command.

Press Next.
Type in the telephone number which you would like to call and press

Finish.

Establish a connection

The connection that was created above can now be found under Network and Dial-up
Connections. To establish a link, open the connection, after which a username and

password may need to be given. Then press Connect to place the call.

Note that to place a call with the modem, the SIM card must have been configured so
that no PIN code is needed.

User Manual and Reference Handbook for the CC Pilot ™ XS

42

Depending on the cellular network provider and what type of connection is to be made,
individual settings may be necessary. Contact your provider or network administrator
for the correct settings.

Using the FTP server

CC Pilot™ XS has an in built FTP server to be used for remotely upload or download
information from the unit.

The default security settings for FTP is to allow anonymous access, which gives the
connecting entity possibilities to upload files, delete files and rename files without
authorization. Anyone can log in using the username "anonymous" and any password
to gain access.

Be aware that when connecting CC Pilot™ XS to a network the FTP server is open for
anyone to access.

Glossary

Bluetooth, is an open standard for wireless communication in the 2.4 GHz range. It is
built for low power consumption and is used to connect together units such as cell
phone, print er, keyboard, pointing instrument and computer. The range is 10 – 100 m.

bps, bits per second. This is a measurement of how fast data can be sent. Given often
as Mbps, or Mb/s (mega-bits per se cond)

CAN, Controller Area Network. A standard for bus communication to be used in control
applications in, for example, vehicles and industry.

CCP, CC Pilot™
COM, is an abbreviation for Communication Port and is usually called the serial port.

The serial port can, among other things, be used to connect additional equipment
(modem, GPS, etc.) to a PC.

ELFA, an electronic component distributor in northern Europe. For more information
see the chapter References.

Ethernet, computer networking technology for local area networks (LANs). The name
comes from the physical concept of ether. Ethernet is mostly standardized as IEEEs

802.3 and is the most widespread LAN technology.

GPRS, General Packet Radio Service. GPRS is a standard, accepted by the European
Standardisation Organisation ETSI, for packet data in GSM and 3G-networks. GPRS

has also been adapted for the American cellular telephone standard, TDMA.
GIS, Geographic Information System. Is a general term for programs or syst ems which

contain geographical information such as maps.

GPS, Global Positioning System. System for global positioning.
GSM, Global System for Mobile Communications. A system for mobile telephone

communication. There are three different frequency ranges which GSM uses. In
today’s GSM net data is sent in the same way as normal speech information, which
limits the data communication rates. For higher data communication rates additional
technology are added, such as GPRS.

The Cont rol Panel, is a program which accompanies your Windows operating system.
It is easiest to find by going in through the Start Menu.

LAN, Local Area Network. LAN often concerns the Ethernet standard which is used in
local networks.

Notification Area , This is an area which, in a Windows environment, is often found
lowest down to the right on the desktop, i.e. beside the clock.

Mbps, Mega bits per second. Mbps is a measurement of how fast data can be sent.

NC, Not Connected. The socket, or a pin in the socket, is without an internal
connection and can not be used.

NMEA-0183, Protocol for GPS communication from the National Marine Electronics
Association, which was originally developed for marine use but is now an accepted de
facto standard for GPS communication in many different regions. See the chapter
References for the link to NMEA’s home page.

SIM, Subscriber Identification Module
TFT, Thin Film Transistor. A method for manufacturing flat-screens displays.
USB, Universal Serial Bus. A standard which has replaced serial and parallel ports on

PC units with a faster, more uniform standard. Many different devices can be attached
to the USB port, such as a keyboard, mouse, camera and memory, to name only a few
examples.

The Explorer, the window in your operating system where you can search through
folders and files, etc.

WLAN, stands for wireless LAN, wireless local area network also called Wi-Fi. WLAN
is a wireless local area network that uses radio waves to communicate with the mobile
device. The range is limited around 100 m, but is highly dependent on surrounding

factors. The standard is called IEEE 802.11 and exists in several versions (a, b, g)
where the speed, tangling from 2-108 Mbit is the most significant difference.

Intel XScale® A processor technology which draws low current, gives high
performance and is well-suited as an embedded processor in small units.
