Electrical Domains

Certus contains separate electrically isolated domains. Each domain is isolated from the others to minimise noise injection and avoid ground loops. Where possible, this isolation should be preserved by externally connected devices. We recommend connecting the enclosure to your vehicle ground where possible for the best electrical noise performance.

Domain Name Affected Components and Ports
Chassis Enclosure, GNSS receiver, GNSS antennas
Power Power Supply
Serial Primary port, Auxiliary port, CAN port
GPIO GPIO 1 port, GPIO 2 port, 1PPS port
Ethernet Ethernet port
