Installation Checklist

The following instructions serve as a quick start when using the cables supplied with the Development Kit. Refer to Connector Pin-out for details on identifying and connecting to the Molex and JST connectors.

1. Plug the power supply into the power connector on the breakout cable and then into the wall socket. See Power Supply.

2. Plug an Ethernet cable into the Ethernet socket on the breakout cable, and into your network.

3. Download and install the Bonjour ZeroConf networking utility from the link https://www.advancednavigation.com/Bonjour64.msi.

4. In a web browser, type in the address http://certus.local.

5. Mount the unit in the standard alignment of X+ pointing forward and Z+ pointing down. For more information, see Mounting Alignment.

6. Mount the two GNSS antennas in a level orientation with a clear view of the sky. The primary antenna should be positioned directly forwards of the secondary antenna with separation of at least 0.5 metres. See GNSS Antenna Installation.

7. Connect the coaxial antenna cables between the antennas and Certus. The antenna cables should not be coiled.

8. Accurately measure the GNSS antenna offset from the centre of the Certus unit to the central base of the primary antenna in the body co-ordinate frame (X+ forward and Z+ down, see The Body Co-ordinate Frame) and enter these values into the Alignment screen under the Configuration menu. See GNSS Antenna Installation for more details.

9. Choose a Vehicle Profile in the Filter Options screen under the Configuration menu. This should be the closest available match to your vehicle type.

10. Check that all filters are initialised. See Filter Initialisation.

    The system is now ready for use.
