Service is provided to end users by Solution Providers (SPs) who use the SkyWave
IsatData Pro network to offer particular applications and/or services to their clients. The
SPs link their application services to the satellite terminals by connecting to the IsatData
Pro gateway. This acts as the communications hub of the system, routing traffic to and
from the terminals and the various service providers.
Configuration and data retrieval from the terminal can be easily accomplished through
Internet-based application services provided by SPs or by integrating existing customer
enterprise software to receive information from the Gateway.
Terminals1
1.2
The IDP 600 series (Table 1) of SkyWave mobile satellite terminals operate on the
IsatData Pro network. The terminals are self-contained, environmentally sealed, compact,
and provide low power consumption.
Terminals include an omni-directional antenna, satellite modem, GPS, programmable
microcontroller, and several I/O (input/output) feeds capable of monitoring and
controlling external sensors and devices.
The terminal's built-in programmability allows it to work as a stand-alone terminal with
built-in I/O data collection and processing capabilities. Each model is suitable for both
mobile and fixed installations.
Feature-rich software tools make scripting easy, and shorten the script design and testing
time. SkyWave also provides consulting services to SPs to help program the terminals
and get customer applications running quickly.

Operating Modes
The terminal operates in a number of modes while the application processor portion of
the terminal has its own independent set of modes.
Transmit Mode
In transmit mode the terminal is transmitting a signal to the gateway. Several
transmissions can occur within any 5 second frame.
Receive Mode
In receive mode the terminal is receiving a signal from the gateway. This is mutually
exclusive with transmit mode.
Sleep Mode
In sleep mode the terminal draws minimal current. It monitors its external inputs (digital
and serial) for activity, and reacts as required by transitioning to processing mode with no
loss of information such as incoming serial characters.

Load Dump Circuitry
The terminal's operating range is 9-32 V. Above this range; the load dump protection
circuitry opens an electronic switch so that the terminal is not damaged, up to 150V.
When the voltage drops below the threshold, the terminal recovers, going through power
on reset.
With this protection, the terminal is capable of withstanding load dumps as specified in
SAE J1455 (rev JUN2006) paragraph 4.13.2.2.1.

Installation
The following section contains SkyWave's recommended installation guidelines for the
Solution Provider (SP). These recommendations should be incorporated into installation
guidelines for end users.
CAUTION
The installer is responsible for injury or damages as a result of
the installation, except any such injury or damages arising solely
from a defective SkyWave product. In addition to the liability
imposed upon the installer on the account of personal injury,
bodily injury, including death, or property damage suffered as a
result of the installer’s installation of the product, the installer
assumes the obligation to save harmless SkyWave, including its
agents, employees and assigns, and to indemnify SkyWave,
including its agents, employees and assigns, from every expense,
liability or payment arising out of such wrongful or negligent act
or omission, including legal fees. The installer also agrees to
hold harmless SkyWave, including its agents, employees and
assigns, from any wrongful or negligent act or omission
committed by any subcontractor or other person employed by or
under the supervision of the installer for any purpose, and to
indemnify SkyWave, including its agents, employees and assigns,
from every expense, liability or payment arising out of such
wrongful or negligent act or omission.
The terminal uses very low power during transmission and therefore presents no radiation
hazard during normal use, installation, testing, and troubleshooting.

Identify the Fuse Panel Location
For installation in a truck, the cable from the terminal connects to the truck's fuse panel
for power.
1. Locate the fuse panel in the truck. The location depends on the type, age, and
model of the truck.
2. Identify an un-switched vehicle power source within the fuse panel for terminal
power.
3. Ensure that the cable you ordered is of sufficient length to reach from the fuse
panel to the final mounting location of the terminal.
4.4
Determine a Suitable Mounting Location
Before installing the terminal, consider the important guidelines provided below.
CAUTION
Most users install the terminals on a vehicle. It is very important
for installers to install the terminals in a safe and secure way to
avoid danger or damage to persons or property.

Mount the terminal where it has a clear view of the sky/satellite. For a mobile
installation, this means at the highest point on the vehicle or vessel where it has a
clear view of the sky in all directions.

Mount the terminal so that the Inmarsat satellite is within α degrees of the mounting
surface, α = 0 to 90 degrees for IDP-680 terminals and -15 to 90 degrees for IDP-690
terminals. Make sure that the line of sight is clear of obstructions.

Mount the terminal on a flat surface for mobile installations such that the elevation
angle does not change with rotation.
Note: For fixed installations, the terminal can be pointed at the Inmarsat satellite to
improve performance. This is not necessary for IDP-690 terminals.

Fasten the terminal securely so that it is not loose and does not move easily.

Mount the terminal on a solid, stable surface. If necessary, use a mounting bracket
(not supplied) or other suitable support.

Mount the terminal so that the top surface is horizontal (flat). Failure to do so may
compromise line of sight between the satellite and the terminal.

Mount the terminal on a surface that does not get hotter than the maximum operating
temperature. If the surface may get hotter, mount the terminal with a thermal barrier
between it and the mounting surface.
CAUTION
T200, Version 02
Mount the terminal at least
20 cm away from humans.
26

IDP 600 Terminal Series - Hardware Guide

Do not mount the terminal close to other electrical equipment due to possible radiated
and/or conducted electromagnetic interference.

Do not mount the terminal close to radar or other communications antennas. Use the
following guidelines:

> 1 m from VHF/UHF antenna
> 3 m from loop antenna
> 4 m from MF/HF antenna
> 5 m from other satellite antennas
Not within a radar beam
Do not mount the terminal where water may build-up or collect.

Ensure that any paint above the terminal is non-metallic and non-metallic flake, if the
installation is under fiberglass or composite wind fairings.

Check that the terminal's cable reaches the power source before you drill any
mounting holes.

Do not mount the terminal close to an exhaust pipe due to the excessive heat and the
potential for the exhaust pipe causing satellite blockage.

Do not mount the terminal close to air horns or any tractor roof hardware
(e.g., emergency lights) that could interfere with satellite communications.

Mount the terminal on the driver's side of the vehicle, if possible, when there is a
possibility of strikes by overhanging tree branches.

Do not install the terminal inside the truck under the roof liner.
Once you have picked the mounting location, mount the terminal (refer to Section 4.5).
4.5
Route the Main Cable
Consider the following guidelines before routing the cable assembly.
CAUTION
Ensure the power cable will not be pinched, kinked or worn
down by any objects or moving parts such as the door hinges. It
is very important to secure the cable at many points along its
path.
CAUTION
Prior to working on any cabling, ensure
that the terminal is powered off and
will not start while work is in progress.

Do not route the cable near the engine if routing through the engine compartment.
This location will subject the cable to extreme heat.

Keep the cable away from hot surfaces such as exhaust pipes as this may damage the
cable.

Do not run the cable over sharp or jagged edges.

Place the cable in recesses and channels, whenever possible, to prevent potential
damage or wear by foot traffic.

T200, Version 02
IDP 600 Terminal Series - Hardware Guide
Note: Remember to leave enough cable slack near the terminal for strain relief so as
not to introduce any additional force on the connector. SkyWave recommends
securing the cables during installation.
Figure 22 Sample Cable Placement in a Vehicle Cab
Run the cable assembly following the steps below.
1. Use tape to temporarily secure the terminal in its final location while you run the
cable.
CAUTION
Do not drill any mounting
holes at this time.
2. Search for vehicle cab entry points on the side of the vehicle closest to the fuse
panel. This will help to minimize the amount of cable routed along the floor of
the cab.
Where possible route the cable through existing holes in the floor or the firewall
of the engine compartment.
3. Route the cable starting from the terminal to the fuse panel or battery source.
Note: SkyWave recommends that you tape cable ends to prevent dirt from collecting
on the contacts.
4.6
Mount the Terminal
CAUTION
Painting terminals or antennas may interfere with their
performance.
The terminal will either have a bottom connector or a side connector.
Note: The Solution Provider is responsible for providing mounting instructions if the
mounting is to be done using tools or configurations that are different from the
ones described in this document.
Note: It is the installer’s responsibility to comply with local electrical codes.

Cable management and connector strain relief must be
incorporated in the installation. SkyWave highly recommends
securing the cable at regular intervals along its length as part of
the installation to prevent cable wear and eliminate strain on the

terminal connector. Damage to the terminal connector interface
or cable may otherwise result leading to hardware failure.
To protect the terminal's connector interface, follow the guidelines below:

Apply tape around the cable ends to help in routing the cable.

Secure the cable such that it does not pull on the connector or strain the terminal
connector.

Tie the cable down so that the weight of a vibrating cable will not stress or strain
the connection.

Tie the cable down using cable ties and tie holders (Figure 28) at 300 to 600 mm
intervals along the cable route to prevent chafing, wear, or strain.

Secure the cable tie holder with a self-tapping screw (Figure 28) for best holder
retention.
Figure 28 Cable Management

holder. Apply a selftapping screw here
for added strength.
4.8
Connect to Power
CAUTION
Apply power only after
making ground connection.
CAUTION
Before applying power to the terminal, make sure that your
power supply’s rated voltage follows the recommended values
specified in Section 2.
CAUTION
The installer is responsible for complying with local electrical
codes.
Note: SkyWave recommends that if possible the user wait until the terminal is
unblocked (i.e., has a full view of the sky) before powering up the terminal.
1. Locate the main power input and the ground (GND) wires on the cable breakout.
You can connect the terminal ground to ground in the fuse panel or to chassis ground.
To do this, secure the ground wire on the cable assembly to a piece of metal
electrically connected to the vehicle chassis using a sheet metal screw.
2. Ensure that the main power input and ground wires reach the vehicle fuse panel.
T200, Version 02
32
© SkyWave Proprietary
IDP 600 Terminal Series - Hardware Guide
If the wires are not long enough, splice similar gauge wire to the main power input
and ground wires so that they reach the fuse panel. Cover any splices with adhesive
lined heat shrink.
3. Connect the ground wire to the grounding point selected in Section 4.3.
4. Connect the main power input wire to the un-switched vehicle power source within
the fuse panel.
5. Loop and secure any excess cabling.
When connected to an external power source, the terminal gives an indication that it has
power when the LED lights up.
Figure 29 LED Location
Terminal LED
If your application requires extended cable lengths, it is necessary to calculate the cable
voltage drop to determine if the terminal is receiving at least 9 V (with 1.7 A draw).
Large cable voltage drops may adversely affect terminal operation.
Note: Connect only SkyWave approved cables to the terminal. Use of other cables
will void the terminal warranty.
4.9
Register the Terminal
Note: The IDP 600 series terminals must complete registration to operate.
Once you apply power, the terminal goes into satellite search mode to acquire the
SkyWave IsatData Pro network. This activity may take a few minutes to complete. If you
experience difficulties, refer to Section 6 for troubleshooting suggestions.
1. Once the terminal synchronizes itself with the network, it sends a registration
message to the SkyWave IsatData Pro network.
Note: The terminal will not register until it has a clear line of sight to the
satellite.
2. The SkyWave IsatData Pro network records the registration message and
forwards the registration message to the user’s application.
The SkyWave IsatData Pro network sends an acknowledgement message over the
satellite to the terminal. The terminal is now available to send and receive messages.

Troubleshooting the Terminal
The following section contains troubleshooting information for the Solution Provider
(SP) to provide to end users.
6.1
Terminal Does Not Register or Report
On application of external power the terminal should register with the satellite and send a
report.
Note: The terminal must be visible to the satellite to register with the network and
registration normally takes a few minutes.
If the terminal fails to register or report:

Ensure that the antenna has a clear line of sight to the satellite. The terminal must
operate outdoors and be unobstructed by buildings, forest canopy, and rock cuts.

Check that no objects or debris are on the antenna (i.e., atop the terminal) and
blocking transmission.

Verify with your SP that the terminal is assigned to your account and registered
(i.e., that it is sending and receiving) and that the SkyWave IsatData Pro network
is operating properly.

Check the condition of the power cable.
Replace the device, if the above checks fail to uncover the problem.
