Power Distribution Module (PDM) for the W1314A Receivers

24

The PDM provides power from the vehicle's battery to a single or multiple receivers. Alternatively, you can power receivers from the IEC power outlets (cigarette lighter). On the rear of the PDM is the power cable that attaches to the battery and connections for up to four receivers. On the front of the PDM (see Figure 6 on page 24) you'll find the following:

• On/off switch

• The ignition sense switch, if switched on, provides a warning tone and will turn power from the PDM to the receivers off after approximately 20 minutes. This gives you time to close the drive- test software and power off equipment. If ignition sense is in the off position, the PDM will operate independently of the vehicle ignition.

CAUTION If the PDM is on and the vehicle ignition is off, the battery will drain in as little as one hour.

• One fuse per receiver to protect receiver power output. These can be replaced using an automotive blade- type 5amp fuse.

Do not remove power from the timing module during calibration and
CAUTIONwhile configuring your hardware. Doing so will lose GPS satellite lock and the calibration process will have to be re-started.
If the battery attached to the timing module does need replaced during calibration, follow the procedure; “How to switch batteries during calibration" on page 42.

The amount of time that you can use the trained timing module depends on how long you had the timing module locked onto a valid signal.

For example, if you have trained the timing module for four hours then the recommended period of use for collecting valid indoor data would also be four hours. Similarly if the module is trained for 8 hours then you can collect data for 8 hours.

How to switch batteries during calibration

42

If, during calibration, you need to change the battery supply for the timing module, follow this procedure:

1 Connect the AC adaptor power supply to the booster cable charging port.

2 Ensure the AC power is on.

3 Carefully remove the battery from the cable.

4 Replace the battery with a fully charge unit.

5 Remove the AC adaptor power supply.

Cable connections for indoor hardware

Once the timing module has been calibrated, you can connect the hardware for indoor measurement. Refer to “How to add and configure an indoor map" on page 84 for more information on configuring the E6474A software.

Refer to Figure 19 on page 43 for cable connection information. This diagram does not show the backpack and battery pouches.

License Manager

Introduction


NOTEquires

Agilent E6474A software requires Software and Support Update Service (SUS) licenses. Without a valid SUS license you will not be able to collect measurement data, design views or add and edit events, although you will be able to playback recorded data.

Software options can be enabled using one of two methods:

• Software license keys (also called “Dongles”) that are attached to either the USB or parallel port on your computer. The software license key included with the E6474A software contains the licenses for the software options you have purchased.

• Keyless software licenses from a software license server (E6474A- 081). Software licensing provides the ability to maintain a pool of measurement licenses on a server and then distribute those licenses to client drive- test PCs using a check- out process. Typically only one server application is required per customer.

License Manager software is automatically installed when you install the E6474A software. This software allows you to:

• Transfer licenses between keys included (for example, between the DB25 parallel key and USB key)

• Add software options to your license key

• Transfer licenses between keys

• Check- out software license from a network- based server

• Transfer licensed product options between license keys

• View online help on the use of License Manager features

Returning the System for Service

112

The instructions in this section explain how to properly package the system for return to Agilent Technologies.

Warranty repair

NOTE Please notify Agilent Technologies before returning your system for service. Any special arrangements for the system can be discussed at that time. This will help Agilent Technologies repair and return your system as quickly as possible.

If the system is still under warranty or is covered by an Agilent Technologies maintenance contract, it will be repaired under the terms of the warranty or contract. If the system is no longer under warranty or is not covered by an Agilent Technologies maintenance plan, Agilent Technologies will notify you of the cost of the repair after examining the unit.

When a system is returned to Agilent Technologies for servicing, it must be adequately packaged (see “Preparing the system for shipping" on page 113) and have a complete description of the failure symptoms attached.

When describing the failure, please be as specific as possible about the nature of the problem. Include copies of additional failure information (such as receiver or computer failure settings, data related to system failure, and error messages) along with the system being returned.



Preparing the system for shipping

Do This Additional Information

1 Write a complete description of the failure and attach it to the system.

Include any specific performance details related to the problem. The following information should be returned with the system:• Type of service required• Date system was returned for repair• Description of the problem:

• Whether problem is constant or intermittent• Whether system is temperature-sensitive• Whether system is vibration sensitive• System settings required to reproduce the problem• Error Code• Performance data

• Company Name and return address• Name and phone number of technical contact person• Model number of returned system• Full serial number of returned system• List of any accessories returned with the system

2 Cover all front and rear panel connectors that were originally covered when you first received the system.

3 Pack the system in the original shipping containers. Original materials are available through Agilent Technologies office. See step 4 for more information.

4 Wrap the system in anti-static plastic to reduce the possibility of damage caused by electrostatic discharge.

For systems weighing less then 54 kg (120 lbs.), use a double-walled, corrugated cardboard carton of 159 kg (350 lbs.) test strength.The carton must be large enough to allow 3 to 4 inches on all sides of the system for packing material and strong enough to accommodate the weight of the system.Surround the equipment with 3 to 4 inches of packing material, to protect the system and to prevent it from moving in the carton. If packing foam is not available, the best alternative is S.D-240 Air CapTM from Sealed Air Corporation (Commerce, California 90001). Air Cap looks like plastic sheet filled with air bubbles. Use the pink (anti-static) Air Cap to reduce static electrical damage. Wrapping the system several times in this material will protect the system and prevent it from moving in the carton.

Agilent E6474A User’s Guide 113


5 Seal the carton with strong nylon adhesive tape and mark it “FRAGILE, HANDLE WITH CARE”.

6 Retain copies of all shipping papers.

CAUTION Cover electrical connectors to protect sensitive components from electrostatic damage. Instrument damage can result from using packaging materials other than the original materials. Never use styrene pellets as packaging material. They do not adequately cushion the system or prevent it from shifting in the carton. They may also cause system damage by generating static electricity.

• All antennas must be spaced at least 18 inches (45.7 cm) apart. Plan the layout before drilling any holes.

• A magnetic- mount antenna may be mounted on any suitable metallic surface, paying attention to the routing of the cable. However, avoid areas of high vibration. Also avoid mounting the antenna near a roof luggage rack. (The rack could block the signal.)

• For permanent- mount antennas, choose a location with access both above and below the antenna- mounting surface; this is required for installing fasteners and for routing the antenna cable.

• For permanent- mount antennas, use silicone sealant to prevent water leakage between the antenna base and the mounting surface.

• The GPS antenna must be located outside of the vehicle with a clear view of the sky.

• Choose a horizontal mounting position for the GPS antenna.
