F.1 POWERPAK II ENCLOSURE
The PowerPak II mounting enclosure provides a protective environment for the MiLLennium-GLONASS
GPSCard. The mounting enclosure houses the internal power card, interconnect back plane, and front panel
connections for COM1, COM2, strobes, GPS/GLONASS antenna, external oscillator, and power input.
NOTE:
The PowerPak II enclosure is intended for stationary operation in benign surroundings such as those
found in a laboratory or on a test bench; it is not designed for environments with feature vibration, dust,
moisture or extremes of temperature.
The PowerPak II enclosure, see Figure F.1, is intended to be used with the following NovAtel accessories and
options:
•
A NovAtel Model 504 or Model 514 L1 GPS/GLONASS antenna - single frequency
•
Model C005, C015, or C030 (5, 15 or 30 m lengths) coaxial cable - to connect the GPS/
GLONASS antenna to the PowerPak II enclosure
