1 Introduction

1.1 Overview

Welcome to the QUAKE™QPRO Satellite + GPRS/GSM Global Communication modem! The QUAKE QPRO is a complete IP67 enclosed solution ready for global use. The QPRO is designed to communicate with GSM terrestrial network systems when a cell signal is available, and to slide seamlessly into its back-up mode and communicate with a Satellite System when a cell signal is not available. Besides this advanced modem functionality, the QPRO has additional processing power, memory, and I/Os that allow sophisticated customer applications to run within the modem. Using an integrated power regulator, the QPRO is designed to operate over a 6-32 volt input range. It has been specifically designed to meet the demanding requirements of vehicular environments and directly supports communication over a vehicle bus using the SAE J1939 standards. These features make the QPRO an ideal stand-alone solution for a large variety of applications including transportation, oil and gas and heavy equipment markets.

This Data Sheet presents an overview of the QPRO technology, device specifications, integration guidelines, and basic information on configuring and programming. Additional QUAKE manuals, including the User’s Guide to Q4000/QPRO, P/N 1135-4713, can be accessed on our website or by contacting QUAKE Customer

Support at http://QUAKEglobal.com/support/.

1.2 Control Options

The QPRO has the option of running in standalone mode or QUAKE Communications Protocol (QCP) mode.

In standalone mode, the user’s application resides directly on the modem. QUAKE provides three sample applications as part of the Development Kit to help users create, build and run their own custom applications.

QCP mode is used to send data via GSM/GPRS, or a single Satellite System such as Orbcomm, Iridium or Globalstar. Customers who use the Q4000/QPRO in this mode typically have a processor, and the necessary I/O for their specific applications, and use the Q4000/QPRO as a modem only, or to add functionality such as addition I/O’s, GPS, etc. The QUAKE Communication Protocol (QCP) is used to communicate between the QPRO and the application.

2.3 Input Power

2.3.1 Internal Power Supply Description

The QPRO contains the required internal regulation and reverse bias/overvoltage protection to meet J1455 specifications for 12VDC and 24VDC systems. DC power of +6VDC to +32VDC is supplied through pin 1 (BATT+) and pin 2 (GND) of the multi-pin connector. The ground pins are connected directly to the chassis of the QPRO. It is recommended that the power supply feeding the QPRO be protected with a fast-blow fuse

sized appropriately per the expected current draw as shown Table 2-1, Input Power Current draw is dependent on the features and options that are installed and operating. See Table 2-2, , for typical power consumption.

2.3.2 External Power Supply Requirements

In order for the modem to boot properly:

1) The supply voltage must be below 1.4 volts for 4 seconds before re-applying the 6 to 32 V.

2) The rise time on the supply voltage must be 10ms maximum, from 0 to 6Vdc.

2.3.3 Load Dump Protection

To pass the load dump testing requirement of the J1455 specification, there must be a minimum of two 33V diodes placed in parallel between power and ground of the input power supply. This functionality has been built into the QPRO.

2.3.4 Typical Power Consumption

This section describes the typical power consumptions of each component of the QPRO modem. Table 1 is a listing of the required input voltage limits and Table 2 gives a break down of the different components of the QPRO.

* - Use of ORBCOMM and Iridium satellite network is not available when modem’s voltage drops below 10.5 VDC. ** - Relay current is 1A MAX at 25C, .5A MAX at 85C. Power usage depends on customer application.

DC Input power to QUAKE QPRO modems is +6.0V to +32.0VDC. Supplied input voltages outside this

range will result in damage to the modem and void the warranty.

2.3.5 Power Calculation

Depending on the configuration of the modem, add the appropriate power. For example:

QPRO with GSM, GPS and ORBCOMM with no messages being sent:

Current Calculation:

0.045 A (Processor Only) + 0.020 A (GSM RX) + 0.010 A (GPS) + 0.035 A (ORBCOMM RX) = 0.11 A or 110 mA

Power Calculation:

0.54 W (Processor Only) + 0.24 W (GSM RX) + 0.12 W (GPS) + 0.42 W (ORBCOMM RX) = 0.11A * 12 V = 1.32 W

.

Inductive Load Use Warning: If an inductive load such as a relay is used, it can generate a spike

voltage across it. If that exceeds 60 volts peak the spike must be limited. Check if the external inductive load is internally limited. If not, a clamp diode across the inductive load, with the cathode towards the positive input lead must be used.

4.3 J1939

The J1939 bus connection is used on Heavy Trucks Engine Computers to obtain engine and other subsystem parameters such as Oil Pressure and Fuel Level. See the SAE J1850/1939 specification for additional information on this engine bus.

• CAN Bus with J1939 stack interface

• This bus is connected on pins 10 (CAN_H) and 11 (CAN_L)

4.4 3.5V Power

There are two pins that provide 3.5 VDC continuous power. One of the outputs can source up to 150 mA, (Pin 4) and the other output can source up to 500 mA, (Pin 3). Don’t include these pins on the connector if they are not being used. Connecting these pins incorrectly could damage the unit and void the warranty.

4.5 RS-232 Ports (General)

The QPRO has four (4) RS-232 serial ports. The first is the Main Transport Socket (MTS) Port, which implements QUAKE’s Communication Protocol (QCP). The second is the Logger Port. The Logger Port provides the diagnostic data for the user. The third and fourth serial ports are only available depending on the specific QPRO model. See individual port descriptions for additional information. All serial ports support baud rates up to 115.2 Kbps. All ports are protected against shorts to both the BATT+ and BATT- lines. The serial ports meet the standard voltage level for RS-232 operation.

Note: The QPRO uses a switching mode DC-DC converter power supply. This means that the current draw

of the QPRO drops with an increase in the input voltage. QUAKE Global recommends that the QPRO be connected to a power supply through a 5 Amp fast-blow fuse.

DC Input power to QUAKE QPRO modems is +6.0V to +32.0VDC. Input voltage outside this range will

result in damage to the modem and void the warranty.

7 QPRO Recommended Installation Guidelines

7.1 QPRO Mounting Recommendations

∙

Remember that it is best to connect the UBATT (-) to chassis ground rather than the (-) battery terminal.

∙

Remember that the input voltage range is 6-32 VDC.

∙

On the 40-pin connector positive power UBATT (+) is located on pins 1 and 2 and negative UBATT (-) is Pins 3 and 4.

∙

In order to protect wires installed within the engine compartment or along the undercarriage make sure all wires are wrapped with wire loom.

7.2 Antenna Recommendations

When selecting an Orbcomm antenna, make sure it is a 50 ohm 137-150.05 MHz antenna. Due to the fairly wide frequency range used by Orbcomm (137 - 150 MHz), and the variety of installation factors and tradeoffs between antenna size, cost, and performance, it is often not practical to achieve a VSWR of below 1.5:1 throughout the 137 - 150 MHz frequency range. See the User’s Guide User’s Guide to Q4000/QPRO, Document #1135-4713 for more details on antennas.

A: Email [email protected]

A: To configure the TurnKey application you can use any computer that runs a terminal

emulation program such as HyperTerminal, and at least one available serial port. For users of QUAKE’s API any Windows computer can be used to set up the API and Development Environment.

A: Yes. Any ORBCOMM antenna with 50-ohm impedance can be used with the QPRO.

However, there are great differences in the performance of various antennas and testing

should occur to ensure proper operation for your application needs.

A: QUAKE recommends that the antenna shipped with the Development Kit be used with

the QPRO. This is a 3.3V active antenna with 26-dB gain. The QPRO can utilize a passive or active 3.3VDC GPS antenna (Active recommended). Active antenna with 2050 dB gain @ 3.3 VDC. Max noise figure 1.5 dB. A 5V active antenna will not work with the QPRO.

A: Yes. QUAKE offers a variety of products ranging from OEM modules to “Off the Shelf”

and ready to go turn-key products.

A: Loading new code is extremely easy with the use of the PC based QUAKE Configuration

Tool (QCT).

A: Yes. The QPRO is designed to work in most 12 and 24V based vehicles.
