Appendix A: Vehicle Installation
Guide
Your K530 is designed for rugged vehicle use with MIL810G compliance,
please review and consider the guidelines below for optimal vehicle
installation.
Overview
A stable power supply and secure mounting are essential to ensure that
your K530 operates properly. However, getting a stable power supply
from an operating vehicle can be a major challenge due to constantly
changing vehicle and environmental conditions. Furthermore, different
circuit loadings as a result of vehicle operation and use of its onboard
electronic products can cause the raw voltage supplied by a vehicle’s
battery to vary largely. Therefore, unless modified, a vehicle’s electrical
system is generally quite unreliable for onboard electrical equipment.
There are two basic types of voltage supply problems in a vehicle. One is
called brown-out, and the other is called transient voltage.
Brown out usually occurs during the start of the engine. In general, when
a car engine starts, the spark plug draws a significant stream of
instantaneous electrical power from the car’s battery (ultra high
![](/img.php?id=2243247&img=bg4b.png)
Appendix A: Vehicle Installation Guide
73
instantaneous electrical current in terms of hundreds of cranking amps or
more) which leaves insufficient energy for other electrical equipment on
the vehicle. Therefore, the voltage supplied to all other electrical
equipment drops to a significantly lower level than what is normal. It is
only after such an instantaneous high demand of electrical power that the
voltage level on the vehicle returns to normal. The diagram below
demonstrates the brown-out phenomenon during the engine’s startup.
Transient voltages, sometimes known as spikes, are very noticeable
positive or negative voltage changes over a short period of time. Such
voltage fluctuations may be occasional or may be periodic. They are
typically caused by interference from electrical-mechanical components
in a vehicle (such as alternators, electric windows and door locks, light
switches, loose or corroded connectors or battery terminals, etc.), or even
from additional electrical equipment connected to the vehicle’s electrical
power system. Without treatment, sharp spikes are a potential threat to
your K530 as well as other electrical equipment on the vehicle. The
diagram below shows some standardized examples of automotive
voltage transients (ISO-7637-2):
![](/img.php?id=2243247&img=bg4c.png)
Appendix A: Vehicle Installation Guide
74
In cases of undesirable voltage transients or brown-outs, your K530 is
designed to handle large voltage swings from 9V to 32V. However, for
optimal use and proper protection of your K530, it is necessary to
regulate the input voltage before feeding it to the power input of your
K530.
There are two ways to regulate electrical voltage. One way is to
implement a power management block that harnesses battery power
during engine startup. The other, more effective, way is to implement a
power management block with filters that further smooth out residual
spikes.
Installation
General Guidelines
Follow these guidelines for optimal installation of your K530 in a vehicle:
• Place the router as close as possible to the voltage regulators, such
as power management block and filters. Use short power cables to
keep the distance short between the router and the output
connectors of the voltage regulators.
![](/img.php?id=2243247&img=bg4d.png)
Appendix A: Vehicle Installation Guide
75
• Use proper wire size according to the expected current load.
AWG Rating
Electric Current
Load (Amps)
10-Feet Cable 20-Feet Cable
3-10 14 AWG 12 AWG
11-20 14 AWG 10 AWG
21-35 8 AWG 6 AWG
• A dedicated ground wire is highly recommended instead of direct
attachment to chassis ground.
NOTE: To minimize noise interference, a filter can be applied isolating
the router from other electrical devices.
Mounting
To ensure that your K530 is securely mounted, 4 screws can be applied
as shown in the figure below. In addition to electrical requirements, also
consider temperature factors when choosing a location for mounting your
K530.
If problems caused by vibration are noticeable, anti-vibration rubber
grommets may be used to reduce shock on your K530. Also avoid
mounting your K530 near an area that is subject to extreme heat, such as
![](/img.php?id=2243247&img=bg4e.png)
Appendix A: Vehicle Installation Guide
76
a poorly ventilated spot that is either near the engine or is prone to direct
sunlight.
Basic Power Management
In this type of installation, voltage is regulated solely on the power
management block, which routes battery power to the ignition switch
during engine startup while rendering conditioned output DC power to the
vehicle’s electrical parts. First connect the long red positive power cable
to the input of the power management block. Then connect the
conditioned positive power output to your K530. On the ground side,
connect the ground from your K530 to the ground of the power
management block and the ground of the battery.
![](/img.php?id=2243247&img=bg4f.png)
Appendix A: Vehicle Installation Guide
77
Power Management with a Filter
In this type of installation, voltage is regulated in two parts. The first part is
on the power management block, which routes battery power to the
ignition switch during engine startup while rendering conditioned output
DC power to the vehicle’s electrical parts. First connect the long red
positive power cable to the input of the power management block. Then
connect the conditioned positive power output to your K530. On the
ground side, connect the ground from your K530 to the ground of the
power management block and the ground of the battery.
The second part further conditions power voltage via the use of a filter,
which helps further smooth out residual transients left over by the power
management block. There are three types of filters: capacitor, inductor,
and Pi.
A capacitor reduces transients by temporarily storing electrical energy in
an electrostatic field and gradually releasing them over time.
The inductor reduces transients by temporarily storing some electrical
energy in a magnetic field and gradually releasing them over time.
The Pi filter reduces transients using a specially designed RLC circuit,
which combines the function of both capacitors and inductors by utilizing
the transient-reducing characteristics of both types of filters.
![](/img.php?id=2243247&img=bg50.png)
Appendix A: Vehicle Installation Guide
78
Though any of the three types of filters will do the job, the Pi filter is the
recommended choice, because it combines the advantages of both
capacitor and inductor filters.

2G: Second-generation mobile networking technology. Represents a switchover from
analog to digital; most 2G networks use GSM.
3G: Third-generation mobile networking technology that enables simultaneous
transfer of voice and non-voice data; most 3G networks use WCDMA.
3.5G: A more recent standard of mobile networking technology; generally uses
HSDPA.
3.75G: A more recent standard of mobile networking technology; generally uses
HSUPA.
4G: A more recent standard of mobile networking technology; generally uses LTE.
APN (Access Point Name/Network): Provides GPRS routing information. Consists
of:
Network ID: Identifies the external service requested by a GPRS user.
Mobile network operator ID: Specifies routing information.
ARFCN (Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number): The specific ID numbers
for all radio channels used in cellular mobile communications.
bps (bits per second): How data flow is measured.
CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol): CHAP identifiers are
changed frequently and authentication can be requested by the server at any
time.
DNS (Domain Name System): Helps route network traffic by making the addressing
process more user-friendly.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol): How devices obtain IP addresses
from a server.
DUN (Dial-Up Network): Windows component that enables online access via a
modem.
EDGE (Enhanced Data GSM Environment/Enhanced Data for Global Evolution):
Advanced GPRS that delivers multimedia and other data needing greater
bandwidth at up to 237 kbps.
eHRPD (Evolved High Rate Packet Data): An upgrade of the existing HRPD (High
Rate Packet Data) and EV-DO (Evolution-data Optimized) network technology to
allow smooth transitioning from 3G mobile network technology to 4G LTE
network technology.
GPRS (General Packet Radio Service): Delivers data in packets at up to 86 kbps.
GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications): The most popular cellular
network, mostly operates in 850-900 or 1800-1900 MHz; the primary 2G system.

uplink bandwidth intensive data at up to 5.76Mbps; typically associated with
3.75G.
HSPA+ (High Speed Packet Access +): This is also known as HSPA Evolved, is the
next step and is more focused on delivering data services enabling speeds of up
to 42Mbps in the downlink and 11Mbps in the uplink.
IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity): A number unique to each
GSM/UMTS device that can be used block network access by a stolen mobile
device.
IP (Internet Protocol): Routes packets over a network.
IPSec (Internet Protocol Security): Security implementation of IP communications
by authenticating and encrypting each IP packet during network communication.
Kbps (Kilobits per second): A data flow measure; 1024 bits/second.
LAN (Local Area Network): A data network with limited range but good bandwidth.
Load Balance: A method for distributing network loads across different networks to
optimize network traffic flow and increase network reliability.
