Operation
KIT PACKAGING
- The TRE Evaluation Kit provides an easy connection to any of JAVAD GNSS OEM receiver boards. It is designed for use in laboratories and allows:
- JAVAD GNSS OEM boards testing;
- evaluating all the features of JAVAD GNSS OEM boards;
- developing applications based on JAVAD GNSS OEM boards.
- The kit consists of:
- TRE Interface Adapter p/n 05-572211-01
* 4-Pin Header to Banana Plugs Power Cable p/n 14- 508021-01;
* TNC to MMCX RA Antenna cable p/n 14-574101-03.CONNECTION
OEM board connection
The OEM board of TRE series connected directly to Evaluation Kit by its 64-pin
DIN41612 Euro connector.
GNSS antenna connection
The OEM board may be connected to external GNSS antenna using TNC to MMCX RA
Antenna cable #14- 574101-03 (included in the Kit) and one of our external
GNSS Antenna Cables (purchased separately):
- Accessory GPS Antenna Cable 3m (RG-58) #14- 578107-01;
- Accessory GPS Antenna Cable 10m (RG-58) #14- 578107-02.

- Note: See particular OEM board specifications on www. javad.com.
- CAUTION: Evaluation Kit does not provide any over-voltage protection. Connecting Evaluation Kit to voltage exceeding particular OEM board power voltage range may cause damage of OEM board and Evaluation Kit board.
- CAUTION: Evaluation Kit provides reverse polarity protection only in voltages range, specified for particular OEM board.
- In most cases, power supply with 12 VDC, 1 Amp stabilized output will be good enough for Evaluation Kit powering.
Serial RS-232 connection
-
A standard Null-Modem cable (not included in the Kit) with DE-9 Female connectors on both ends and with length from 1 to 10 meters may be used to connect PC COM_X port with Serial A, Serial B or Serial C port, D port on Evaluation Kit as well as to provide connection between two Evaluation Kits to send some data from one OEM receiver to another OEM receiver.

Serial RS-422 connection
- Serial RS-422 port may be used to connect OEM receiver with other external devices as well as connect two OEM receivers together for some data exchange between them.
- A Null-Modem RS-422 cable (not included in the Kit) with DE-9 Female connectors on both ends and with length from 1 to 100 meters may be used to connect two OEM receivers together. The DE-9 Female connector external view and pinout shown in Figure 2-4.
- For best results, we recommend to use high quality STP 5 or 5e category cable type as well as specialized for RS-422 applications cable types, for example: Belden 9730, 9830 or similar.
- The Serial RS-422 Null-Modem cable should be wired according to the wiring table below.

USB connection
- Evaluation Kit USB port may be used to connect OEM receiver with PC USB port.
- A standard USB 2.0 High Speed cable with USB type A Male connector on one side and USB type B Male connector on other side (not included in the Kit) may be used to connect OEM receiver with PC through J116 USB type B Female connector on Evaluation Kit board.
- A standard USB 2.0 High Speed cable with USB type A Male connector on one side and USB type Mini-B Male connector on other side (not included in the Kit) may be used to connect OEM receiver with PC through J115 USB type Mini-AB Female connector on Evaluation Kit board.
- For best results, we recommend to use as short as possible (from 0.5 to 3 meters) USB high quality cables with marking similar to this: “USB SHIELDED 28AWG/1P + 24AWG/2C HIGH-SPEED USB 2.0”. USB connection cannot be used to connect two OEM receivers together directly for data exchange. This is because OEM receiver has “device” type of USB port, that may be connected only to “host” type of USB port, usually present on PC or on USB hubs.
Warning: Because both J116 USB type B and J115 USB type MiniAB Female connectors are physically connected to one and the same USB port, only one USB cable at a time may be used. Do not connect to Evaluation Kit two USB cables simultaneously
Ethernet connection
- The J119 “ETHERNET” port may be used to:
- connect OEM receiver with Local Area Network (LAN);
- connect OEM receiver with PC directly;
- connect two OEM receivers together directly.
- For Ethernet connection we recommend to use short (from 1 to 10 meters) high quality UTP 5 or 5e category cable with two RJ45 Male connectors on both ends. RJ45 Male connector external view and pinout shown below:

- When two OEM receivers connected directly through Ethernet cable, one of them should be configured as Base (Server), while another receiver should be configured as Rover (Client) in order to provide data exchange between them.
- Example: RTK (Phase Differential) operation mode organized through Ethernet direct cable connection. Base receiver is configured as source of RTCM corrections outputted once per second through /dev/tcp/d port. Rover receiver is configured to connect with Base /dev/ tcp/d port, receive RTCM corrections and compute RTK solutions.
- **Base (server) settings:

* **Rover (Client) settings**
- For OEM receiver Ethernet port connection with LAN, the Straight Through (Patch Cord) cable usually used. Straight Through cable should be wired according to the wiring table below.

CAN connection
- Evaluation Kit J105 “CAN A” and J111 “CAN B” ports may be used to connect OEM receiver CAN ports to CAN BUS as well as connect two OEM receivers together for some data exchange between them.
- Direct cable (not included in the Kit) with DE-9 Female connectors on both ends and with length from 1 to 10 meters may be used to connect two OEM receivers together by CAN interface. The DE-9 Female connector external view and pinout shown in previous paragraph.
- For best results, we recommend to use high quality STP cable type, specialized for RS-485/CAN applications, for example: Belden 9842 or similar.
- The Direct CAN cable should be wired according to the wiring table below.

- When two OEM receivers connected directly through CAN cable, their CAN ports should be terminated by 120 Ohm resistors on both ends. This may be achieved by jumpers at J126 for CAN A and J127 for CAN B ports on Evaluation Kit board.
- Additionally, CAN ports messages identifiers should be configured in both OEM receivers, so each receiver will accept messages transmitted only by its partner.
- Example: Two receivers connected together through their CAN A ports.
Appendix
