Notice

CE NOTICE

The enclosures carry the CE mark.

WARNING: This is a Class B product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.

"Hereby, NovAtel Inc. declares that this DL-V3 is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC."

Lightning Protection Notice

What is the hazard?

A lightning strike into the ground causes an increase in the earth's potential causing a high voltage potential between the centre conductor and shield of the coax cable. Voltages directly applied onto the centre conductor "roll off" and arrive after the shield pulse producing a high voltage potential between the centre conductor and shield of the coax cable.

Hazard Impact

A lightning strike causes the ground potential in the area to rise to dangerous levels resulting in personnel harm or destruction of electronic equipment in an unprotected environment. It also conducts a portion of the strike energy down the inner conductor of the coax cable to the connected equipment.

Actions to Mitigate Lightning Hazards

See also Figure 1 on Page 18 while reading these guidelines:

1.Do not install the external antenna lines extra-building during a lightning storm.

2.It is not possible to avoid overvoltages caused by lightning, but a lightning protection device may be used to shunt a large portion of the transient energy to the building ground reducing the over voltage condition as quickly as possible.

3.Primary lightning protection must be provided by the operator/customer according to local building codes as part of the extra-building installation.

4.NovAtel recommends installing a secondary lightning protection device. The coaxial cable entering the building is connected to protective ground through the primary and secondary lightning protection.

Chapter 1	Introduction

The DL-V3 is a high-performance GNSS receiver capable of receiving and tracking different combinations of GPS L1 C/A, L2C, L2 P(Y) and L5 code and carrier, GLONASS L1 and L2 code and carrier, and L-Band (CDGPS and OmniSTAR) on a maximum of 72 channels. SBAS support is standard and the DL-V3 adaptability offers multi-system, frequency, and size configurations for any application requirement. Refer to the GNSS Reference Book for an overview of each of the above signal types, available from our website at http://www.novatel.com/support/docupdates.htm. The DLV3’s front panel also features light emitting diodes (LEDs) for on the fly observations.

The DL-V3 is a triple-frequency GNSS receiver with integrated L-band capability but without the need for a separate board. It is GLONASS-enabled with measurements, full code and RTK positioning.

Once you connect the DL-V3 to an antenna and power supply, it begins operating as a fully functional GNSS system. Figure 2 below shows the DL-V3 without an antenna or connecting cables.

1.2OPERATING MODES

The DL-V3 can either be controlled by a host computer or be set up for stand-alone operation.

•Controlled Operation: A host computer can transmit logging parameters, receive collected data, and turn the DL-V3 on or off. Whenever the DL-V3 is connected to a power source (regardless of whether the DL-V3 is turned “on” or “off”), it detects if there is a host computer connected to one of its serial ports. If a host computer is found, and there is serial port activity from a host computer to the DL-V3, the DL-V3 powers up. If the DL-V3’s predefined POWERUP group, see also Section 4.2.1, Receiver Groups on Page 57, exists in the DL-V3, the DL-V3 runs the POWERUP group, otherwise the DL-V3 begins to search for satellites and waits for commands from the host computer.

Only specific serial ports have wake-up capability on data activity. For example, the USB, Ethernet or Bluetooth®ports do not.

•Stand-Alone Operation: Once the DL-V3 receives configuration commands from a host computer, it operates according to these parameters. For example, data collection can be configured in advance by setting up a group to repeat continually.

Refer also to the OEMV Family Installation and Operation User Manual for information on receiver communications and operation.
