The Global Positioning System

1.4
The Global Positioning System (GPS ) is a satellite-based navigation system operated and maintained by the U.S. Department of Defense. GPS consists of a constellation of 24 satellites providing world-wide, 24-hour, three-dimensional (3D) coverage. Although originally conceived for military needs, GPS has a broad array of civilian applications including timing, surveying, fleet management, marine, land, aviation, and vehicle navigation.
GPS is the most accurate technology available for navigation. As a satellite-based system, GPS is immune from the limitations of land­based systems, which have limited coverage and whose accuracy varies with geographic location and, even under ideal conditions, cannot compare with GPS.
By computing the distance to GPS satellites orbiting the earth, a GPS receiver can calculate an accurate position. This process is called satellite ranging. GPS receivers can also provide precise time, speed, and course measurements which are important for vehicle mobile positioning and communications applications.

GPS Receiver

1.5
The CrossCheck CDPD includes an advanced GPS receiver, which provides the pos it io n, course, speed and time information requ ir ed for AVL and fle et mana gement a ppl ica ti ons . A br ie f overview of the GPS receivers archite ct ure and operation is provided in the ne x t paragraph.
The CrossCheck CDPDs GPS receiver features an eight-channel digital signal processor (DSP) which operates at the GPS L1 frequency (1 575.42 MHz) and processes t he Coarse/Acq uisition (C /A) code portion of the GPS signal. The RF and digital signal-processing components of the GPS module are custom integrated circuits designed by Trimble.

Mounting the CrossCheck CDPD

2.6
The CrossCheck CDPD can be installed inside any type of v ehicle and in any orientat ion. It can be in stalled i n an enclosed co mpartment or in a location with limited accessibility, as long as the environmental specifications are maintained to ensure reliable operation. For example, the CrossCheck CDPD can be installed on the floor under a seat, or on a wall behind a seat.
Note The CrossCheck CDPD cannot be installed inside the engine compartment, wheel well, chassis, or on any exterior surface of the vehicle.
Choose a location for the CrossCheck CDPD that allows for conv enie nt routing and connectio n of the antenn a and inte rface cables, and that has access to a power source. When selecting a mounting location, consider the specifications listed in Appendix A, and avoid the following hazards:
Direct exposure to weather
Excessive heat (exhaust manifolds)
Excessive cold (refrigeration units)
High-vibration areas (engine compartment, transmission)
Corrosive fluids and gases (acids, petroleum products)
Direct exposure to water
(The CrossCheck CDPD is not waterproof.)
To mount the CrossCheck CDPD:
1. Choose the mounting location. The CrossCheck CDPD can be mounted horiz ontally, vertical ly ,
or in any convenient orientation. During normal system operation, you do not need to see the CrossCheck CDPD LED indicator s. However, the ability to see the LED indicators is a definite advantage when troubleshooting the unit.

Caution –
tightening the mounting screws can cause the plastic to crack. Use washers sized small enough that they do not tighten down on the plastic cover of the CrossCheck CDPD when the mounting screws are secured. Tightening screws without using washers can lead to compressing, cracking, or deforming the mounting surface.

The installer must provide an appropriate selection of fasteners to secure the CrossCheck CDPD to the mounting surface.
When using self-tapping screws: Select an appropriate size and length for the mounting
surface.
The hole size leaves some allowance for holes drilled
slightly off center from the specified dimensions.
When using machine screws: Trimble recommends the use of number m3.5
(or number 6) pan-head machine screws.
Select a screw length, which extends a safe distance
beyond the mounting surface.
Secure the screw with a washer and nut. Lock washers are
recommended to prevent vehicle vibration from loosening the fasteners.
2.6.1
Connecting CrossCheck CDPD to the Vehicle Chassis
For proper operatio n, the alumi num cha ssi s of the Cr oss Check CDPD must be connected electr ic ally ( grounde d) to t he chass is of t he v ehi cle on which it installed. This can be accomplished in two ways:
Direct connection through metal screws (preferred)
Connection through the chassis ground wire
CrossCheck CDPD Mobile Unit Manual
18
Installation
Direct Connection through Mounting Screws
To mount the CrossCheck CDPD Mobile Unit on a metal surface that is permanently attached to the vehicle chassis (for example, the base of the trunk, or a mounting plate that is permanently attached to the chassis using metal screws):
1. Fasten down the CrossCheck CDPD using metal screws driven through the metal tabs on the sides of the unit.
2. Use star washers to ensure a reliable electrical contact to the metal tabs.
3. Make sure the screws are tight, and that the y make contact both with the metal on the CrossCheck CDPD and with the vehicle chassis.
Note If this direct connection through mounting screws method is used for chassis connection, then the chassis ground (pin 3 on the power and discrete I/O connector) on the CrossCheck CDPD should be left unconnected.
Connection through the Chassis Ground Wire
2
If the CrossCheck CDPD cannot be mounted directly on a metal surface that is atta ched t o the v eh icle, then use t he chass is gr ound wi re (pin 3 on the power and discrete I/O connector) to make electrical contact to the vehicle chassis:
1. Use a wire with gauge of at least 18 AWG to connect the CrossCheck CDPD power connector to the vehicle chassis.
2. Use a metal screw with a star washer to ensure a reliable electrical contact to the vehicle chassis.
3. Keep the wire length as short as possible by selecting a connection point in the vehicle chassis that is close to the CrossCheck CDPD.

Choosing the GPS Ant enna Mounting Location

2.7
Antenna location is crit ical for optim um GPS perfo rmance. Wh en choosing a location for the GPS antenna, consider these guidelines:
The antenna has an unobstructed view of the sky.
The antenna is safe from damage during normal vehicle
operation and maintenance.
The antenna is not shielded from satellite signals by metal objects or other impenetrable materials.
GPS signals can penetrate plastic, glass and tinted glass (except metallized glass), fiberglass, and plexiglass materials as long as the surface is re lati v ely dr y. GPS satellite sig nals do not penet rate meta l or dense wood.
Since GPS satellite signals can penetrate plastic, fiberglass, and glass, the GPS antenna can also be installed on a dashboard under a sloped windshield (if the windshield is not metallized) or under a plastic fender or bumper. These alternative locations are likely to offer less satellite co verage, s ince the meta l components of the vehic le shield the antenna from portions of the sky.

Disclaimer - The instructions included in this section apply to the GPS antennas sold by Trimble and may not apply to third-party products. There are many other GPS antennas available on the market which may o r may not be co mpatible with the CrossCheck CDPD, including combined GPS/C DPD cellular antenna solutions which have not yet been tested and certified by Trimble.
Do not mount the GPS antenna under a metallized glass
Installation
Additional guidelines to follow include:
Mount the antenna in a horizontal position facing the sky, as shown in Figure 2.5.
If the antenna must be located in the vicinity of other antennas (radio, cellular phone), locate the GPS antenna at least 46 cm (approximately 18 in.) away.
Avoid areas of high vibration (for example, engine hoods). For permanent installations, choose a location with access both
above and below the antenna-mounting surface. This access is required for installing fasteners and for routing the antenna cable.
Note The standard length of magnetic-mount and bulkhead- mount GPS antenna cables supplied by Trimble is 5 m (approximately 16 ft.). Longer bulkhead-mount antenna cables can be prepared by the installer using the guidelines presented in Appendix A.

Routing the GPS Antenna Cable

2.8
The Magnetic GPS Antenna has an integral antenna cable, and the Miniature Bulkhead GPS Antennas have a separate 5-m (approximately 16 ft.) cable.
If you are using one of the Miniature Bulkhead GPS Antennas, attach the antenna cable to the connector on the base of the antenna prior to routing the cable. When routing the cable, start at the antenna and choose the most dire ct pat h to th e Cross Check CDPD wh ile ob servi ng the following guidelines:
Make sure that at least 5.1 cm (2 in.) of clearance exists between the CrossCheck CDPD's antenna connector and the nearest ob stacle.
Make all cable bends, especially the bend at the SMA strain relief to the antenna connector, with at least 1.3 cm (0.5 in.) bend radius.
Provide an adequ ate servi ce loop when routi ng the cabl e around vehicle hinges to ensure that the cable is not pinched when a hinged door opens or closes.
Make sure that the coa x cabl e is not rou ted through areas whe re vehicle movement can abrade the cable surface.
Never coil the excess antenna cable, particularly the Magnetic GPS antenna cable. A coiled cable can act as an antenna and may receive interference.
Protect cables from exposure to corrosive fluids.
Once the cable is routed and secured, attach the cable to the CrossCheck CDPD GPS (SMA) connector.

Routing the Cellular Antenna Cable
The Magnetic Cellular antenna has an integral antenna cable with a TNC-M connector. The Bulkhead Cellular antenna has a 5-m (16 ft.) integral antenna cab le, which is termi nated within the FME connector. After routing the Bulkhead Cellular cable, the cable must be fitted with a TNC (plug) connector, before attaching the cable to the CrossCheck CDPD. Instructions for installing the TNC connector are included with the antenna kit.
The next step in the installation process is routing and connecting the antenna cable to the Cro ssCheck CDPD. When routing the cable, start at the antenna and choose the most direct path to the CrossCheck CDPD while avoiding the following hazards:
Excess coils in the antenna cable, particularly the cellular antenna cable. A coiled cable can act as an antenna and may receive interference.
Pinching the cable in a hinged d oor . Pro vide an adeq uate servic e loop when routing the cable around vehicle hinges.
Vehicle movement that might cause cable damage. Make sure that the coax cable is not routed through areas where vehicle movement can ab rade the cab le surface.
Exposure to environmental damage. If your cellular antenna cable is exposed to the environment, use tie wraps to secure the cellular antenna cable along its route to prevent wind damage. The Magnetic Cellular antenna cable is exposed to the environment. Since the wind could cause the cable to whip around, tie wraps should be used to secure the cable along its route.

CrossCheck CDPD Power

2.10
The CrossCheck CDPD operates on input voltages from 9–32 VDC. The low-noise amplifier integrated on the GPS antenna draws power from the CrossCheck CDPD through the antenna cable. The CrossCheck CDPD does not require any special power-up or down sequencing.
The CrossCheck CDPDs power circuitry is designed to protect the unit from random power fluctuations and conditions. Input circuits protect against transient voltage spikes found in most auto and truck environments. An external fuse p rotects against excessive current.

Continuous Power Connection (No Power Management)
For the Continuous Power configuration (see Figure 2.25), the CrossCheck CDPD operates and draws power continuously, even when the vehicle is not running:
Idle mode (not transmitting) without the EchoLDX Message Terminal, 130 mA is typical @ 12 VDC
Idle mode (not transmitting) with the EchoLDX Message Terminal, 200 mA is typical @ 12 VDC
Caution –
CrossCheck CDPD may drain a car battery in 1 to 3 weeks, depending on the battery quality and remaining life span, and whether or not the vehicle is operating during the entire time.

Choosing a Location
Choose a loc ation for the EchoLDX where the display is easy to view and the keypad is readily accessible. When selecting a location, avoid exposure to extreme environmental conditions, including:
Excessive heat or cold
High vibration
Corrosive fluids and gases
Wet or damp locations
Avoiding these conditions will improve the EchoLDX's performance and will ensure long-term reliability.
All standard external connections to the EchoLDX are made through the connector (marked as 2) on the bottom of the unit.
Mounting the Pedestal and Installing the Echo
The EchoLDX can be attached to any flat surface using the mounting assembly. When positioning the assembly on the mounting surface, allow sufficient clearance beneath the EchoLDX for the Power/Data cable and on the right side of the unit for the maintenance and upgrade cable.
LDX
To mount the pedestal:
1. In the vehicle, select a mounting surface for the pedestal and temporarily place the MDT at the top on the pedestal. Ensure that the MDT is accessible by all possible operators.
2. Verify tha t there is clear ance behind the mounting surface for the mounting screws. Choose the appropriate screws to install the pedestal to the mount ing sur fa ceeith er s heet met al s cre ws or machine screws with lock nuts.
3. Remove the MDT from the top of the pedestal.

Introduction

3.1
Once you have installed and configured the CrossCheck CDPD, it is ready for operation. When power is applied, the CrossCheck CDPD operates automatically without user intervention, based on its firmware configuration.
This chapter provides a basic overview of the CrossCheck CDPD ’s operation, including:
LED Indicators
GPS Receiver
CDPD Transceiver

LED Indicators

3.2
The CrossCheck CDPD includes two LED indicators: GPS an d GSM . The firmware:
Continuously monitors the GPS receiver and the CrossCheck CDPD phone operation
Controls the two LED indicators
CrossCheck CDPD Mobile Unit Manual

3.2.2
LED States
The GPS and CDPD LED have three states: On, Off, and Blink. When both LED indicators are off, the CrossCheck CDPDs power is
off. When one or more LED indicators are on or blinking, the power is on.
LED Power-On Sequence
When the CrossCheck CDPDs ignition input and power inputs are activated:
The LEDs blink once.
Both turn off for approximately 5 seconds.
Both remain on for approximately 2 seconds.

The GPS LED is on for approximately 2 seconds, then blinks until the first position fix is computed. During this period, the CDPD LED blinks until the unit is established in a CDPD area, at which point the CDPD LED turns off. When a call is active, the CDPD LED stays on for the duration of the call.
3.2.3
GPS and CDPD LED States
Table 3.1 identifies the GPS LED states.
Table 3.1 GPS LED States (Green LED)
GPS LED State Meaning
On Computing GPS position fixes. Blink Not computing GPS position fixes. Off No power is available, or CrossCheck CDPD is in Sleep mode.
Table 3.2 identifies the GSM LED states.
Table 3.2 GSM LED States (Amber LED - when GPS green LED is on or flashing)
CDPD LED State Meaning

GPS Receiver Operation

3.3
At power-up, the GPS receiver initializes with the last-known position. Using this information, the GPS receiver acquires satellite signals.
During the satellite acquisition processwhich normally requires less than 2 minutesthe green GPS LED blinks.
Once three or more satellites are acquired, the GPS receiver computes positions, course, speed and time fixes, and the GPS LED remains on.
A blinking GPS LED indicates that the GPS receiver is not tracking enough satellites to calculate a current position. This occurs occasionally when the vehicle is obscured from satellite signals by terrain, buildings, trees, tunnels or other structures. During this periodcalled satellite reacquisitionthe GPS receiver continuously searches for the obscured satellites and expands its search to other satellites to continue position computations. For brief blockages, the GPS receiver normally reacquires a lost satellite signal and resumes position fixes in less than 2 seconds.
