Mounting the A631
Overview
This section provides information on where to mount your antenna and the different mounting options available with the A631.
Selecting the proper antenna location
Proper antenna placement is critical to positioning accuracy. To select the
proper antenna location: · Place the antenna with an unobstructed view of the
sky. An obstructed
view of the sky may impair system performance. The GNSS engine computes a
position based on measurements from each satellite to the internal GNSS
receiver. · Mount the antenna on, or as close as possible to, the center of
your point of measurement. For example, ideal antenna placement on a vehicle
is the center of the cab roof, assuming there is a clear view of the sky. ·
Position the antenna as high as possible.
Mounting options
The A631 allows for the following mounting options: · Surface-mount · Pole- mount

Powering the A631
Power considerations
The A631 accepts an input voltage of 7-32 VDC. For best performance, use a clean and continuous power supply. When applying 13.8 VDC, the A631 will draw approximately 1.7 W.
Connecting to a power source
The A631 uses a single cable for power and data input/output.
Note: A power/data cable is not supplied with the A631, but one is available
as an accessory item. See Table 1-1 for a list of accessory items.
Note: The following information refers to using the accessory item cables available from Hemisphere GNSS.
The antenna end of the cable is terminated with an environmentally-sealed 12-pin connector and the opposite end is either DB9 or unterminated (requires field stripping and tinning).
To power A631 connect to a 12 VDC System.
Note: Selecting the right power connector will depend on your specific installation requirements.
Do not apply a voltage higher than 32 VDC. This will damage the receiver and void the warranty.
The A631 features reverse polarity protection to prevent excessive damage if the power leads are accidentally reversed. With the application of power, the A631 automatically proceeds through an internal startup sequence; however, it is ready to communicate immediately.

Using A631
Overview
For your convenience, both the GNSS and differential correction of the A631
are preconfigured. The receiver will work out-of-the-box, and for most
applications, little user setup is necessary.
When powered for the first time, the A631 will perform a “cold start,” which
involves acquiring the available GNSS satellites in view and the SBAS
differential service.
875-0444-10 A631 GNSS Smart Antenna User Guide Rev A2
Page 33 of 73
Differential and RTK Operation
Differential (DGNSS) and RTK operation
The purpose of Differential GNSS (DGNSS) and RTK is to remove the effects of atmospheric errors, timing errors and satellite orbit errors, while enhancing system integrity.
Autonomous positioning capabilities of the A631 will result in positioning accuracies of 2.5 m 95% of the time.
To improve positioning quality, the A631 can receive DGNSS corrections over SBAS, L-band corrections with Hemisphere GNSS’ Atlas L-band technology, or RTK corrections over serial.
For more information on the differential services and the associated commands refer to the Hemisphere GNSS Technical Reference Manual (TRM).
875-0444-10 A631 GNSS Smart Antenna User Guide Rev A2
Page 34 of 73
SBAS Tracking
SBAS tracking SBAS is a standard feature on the A631 and does not require an
activation or subscription code.
The A631 automatically scans and tracks SBAS signals without the need to tune
the receiver.
The A631 features two-channel tracking that provides an enhanced ability to
maintain a lock on an SBAS satellite when more than one satellite is in view.
This redundant tracking approach results in more consistent tracking of an
SBAS signal in areas where signal blockage of a satellite is possible.
875-0444-10 A631 GNSS Smart Antenna User Guide Rev A2
Page 35 of 73
Athena RTK
Athena RTK
Athena RTK requires the use of two separate receivers: a stationary base
station (primary receiver) that broadcasts corrections over a wireless link to
the rover (secondary receiver).
The A631 can use RTK through Port A or Port B. The receiver uses any RTK
message coming in over a serial port if the RTK message type is included in
the list of available differential sources.
If you do not know which RTK message type is being sent by the base station,
you can include RTCM3, ROX, and CMR. Refer to the HGNSS Technical Reference
Manual (TRM) for a complete list of supported message types.
Only one differential correction source can be used at a time. If you include
extra differential sources, this will not affect the receiver if those
differential sources are not being received.
After setting the differential source, configure the baud rate of the serial
port receiving the RTK corrections. Ensure that the serial port configuration
of the external device (such as radio or modem) is 8 bits/byte, 1 stop bit, no
parity and no flow control.
Connect the external device to the serial port of the A631. Some cables may
require the use of a gender changer and/or null modem adapter.

Supported Constellations
Supported
The A631 is available in its base form with L1 GPS, G1 GLONASS, E1 Galileo,
constellations B1 BeiDou, and L1 QZSS support.
By adding a multi-frequency activation, the number of available signals increases, which improves RTK robustness.

Configuring the A631
Overview
You can configure the A631 through the serial port using Hemisphere GNSS
commands. For example, you can select: · Baud rate · NMEA data message (To
output on the dual serial ports and the update
rate of each message.)
Note: Use the $JSAVE command to save changes you make to the A631’s
configuration for the changes to be present in subsequent power cycles.
For information on Hemisphere GNSS commands refer to the Hemisphere GNSS
Technical Reference Manual (TRM).
Auto-seed
Auto-seed allows the end user to shut down their device in a static position
for an extended period of time. If the antenna remains stationary at shut
down, the position status and Atlas convergence will remain in the device
memory and resume upon start-up. This enables the Atlas solution to regain its
accurate position within two minutes of start-up.
Auto-seed provides quick response positioning and enables the customer to get
to work faster and with confidence in the GNSS solution.

Symptom Receiver fails to power
No data from the A631
Random binary data from the A631

Possible Solution
· Verify polarity of power leads · Check integrity of power cable connectors ·
Check power input voltage (8 to 32 VDC) · Check current restrictions imposed
by power
source (maximum is 300 mA at 12 VDC)
· Check receiver power status · Check integrity and connectivity of power and
data cable connections · Verify the baud rate settings match · Verify receiver
responds to valid $J Command
($JI) · Verify it is locked to a valid DGNSS signal · Verify it is locked to 4
or more GNSS satellites · Verify the RTCM or the BIN messages are not
being accidentally output · Verify the baud rate settings match · Potentially,
the volume of data requested to be
output could be higher than the current baud rate supports. Try either using a
higher baud rate for communications or decreasing the number of messages
and/or baud rates
· Check the integrity of the antenna’s power/data cable
· Verify the antenna is outdoors with a clear a view of the sky
· Verify the lock status and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of GNSS satellites
