3. Interface description 3.1 Molex 4 pin connector – Power connector 3.1.1 Power Supply The power supply of the RF-Gate Terminal requires a single voltage source of POWER 6V-55V capable of providing a peak during an active transmission. The RF-Gate Terminal is protected against supply voltage reversal. An internal fuse 1.1A 60V ensures an electrical safety according to EN60950-1. This fuse is not removable. A fast blow fuse of 0.8A is necessary for 24V power supply system (for vehicles).
• Power Supply current rating: max. 2A @12V (if USB is used, use 3A Power supply) • Power Supply ripple: max. 120mV • Input current in idle mode: 20mA @ 12V • Input average current in communication mode: 100mA @ 12V 3.3 SMA CONNECTORS AND LEDs 3.3.1 SMA Antennas connection The RF-Gate Terminal uses SMA CONNECTORS for ANTENNAS. RF Antenna: In RF 433Mhz use the 433Mhz ANTENNA with 2dB gain or more. In RF 2.4Ghz use the 2.4Ghz ANTENNA with 2dB gain or more. CELLULAR Antenna 4 band 3G ANTENNA with 2.5dB gain.
• • RF2_B (GPS) LED SMART TBD, USED SW dependent RF2_A (GPS) LED GPS blinks one per seconds if GPS present 3.4 SIM DRAWER OPTION CELLULAR COORDINATOR Please insert the SIM card on the following direction into the SIM push-push. 3.
3.5 RS-232 Interface The serial interface of the RF-Gate is intended for the communication between the RF module and the host application. This RS-232 interface is a data and control interface for transmitting data. It accepts, AT commands and provides multiplexed channels. EMC immunity complies with the vehicular environment requirements according to EN 301 489-7.
3.6 AUX A Interface The AUX interface provides via Male 6-pole plug connector, the following options: • Power control pin – To be use with internal PMW for 125khz transmitter • GPS PPS – direct output of PPS for Time stamp • TX AUX and RX AUX of the Modem • Ground pin, VIN pin to supply to external board (after input diode and spick suppressor) 6 5 4 Pin assignment 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
3.7 ETHERNET Interface The ETHERNET interface provides via RJ45 connector. 3.7 USB Type A Interface General propose Type A USB connector (max current supply 500mA fuse protected) (Managed by Linux, required user SW and device drivers to operate it) 4.
