Figure 4: Orienting SMART2
The SMART2 must be rigidly secured to the vehicle to avoid errors caused by vibration
and motion.
Surface Mounting
To install the mounting plate, use the adhesive tape or the mounting holes at each corner of the
plate.
Pole Mounting
To install the pole mounting plate:
1. Use four M4 screws to connect the mounting plate to the SMART2.
The optimal screw penetration into the SMART2 mounting holes is 6 mm (±1
mm) deep. When selecting screws for mounting the SMART2, ensure the screw
penetration does not exceed this specification. Using excessively long screws
can damage the SMART2 enclosure.
2. Screw the mounting place onto a mount, such as a range pole, tribrach or tripod, with a 1" x
14 thread screw. A 5/8" to 1" bushing adapter is available (NovAtel part number 12023275).
2.3 Connect the SMART2 to Data Communication Equipment
The SMART2 can communicate with other devices in the system, such as a computer's serial or
Bluetooth port. The SMART2 also has a CAN bus port for communication with other CAN bus com-
patible devices.
2.3.1 Serial Ports
The SMART2 has three serial ports: COM1, COM2 and COM3. These ports are available on the 14-
pin Tyco Ampseal connector. Refer to
on page 12 for the pin out of
this connector.
