Health Limits for Orion®Reader Using ExternalAntenna (902 to 921.5 MHz)Within the United States, environmental guidelines regulating safe exposure levels are issued by the Occu-pational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).Section 1910.97 of OSHA Safety and Health Standards 2206 legislates a maximum safe exposure limit of 10 milliwatts per square centimeter (mW/cm2) averaged over 6 minutes at 902 MHz.Industry Canada, RSS-102, Issue 5 guidelines recommend a maximum safe power density in W/m2 of:Thus, the maximum permissible exposure for general population/uncontrolled exposure at 915 MHz is 2.77 W/m2. The average time is 6 minutes.The maximum permissible exposure for occupational/controlled exposures is 19.53 W/m2. The average time is 6 minutes.The RF power density generated by the Orion Reader was calculated using a maximum antenna gain of 14.0 dBi, equivalent to the antenna gain of the external toll antenna.WarningAt 1.6 W transmitted power, 0 dB transmit attenuation, and a distance of 42.5 inches (108 cm) from the antenna, the maximum power density calculated was less than 2.77 W/m2. Install the antenna at least 42.5 inches (108 cm) from the general public. Maintenance personnel must remain at least 16.4 inches (41 cm) from the antenna when the system is operating.The data confirms that when an antenna is used with the Orion Reader, the antenna effectively meets OSHA requirements and thus does not represent an operating hazard to either the general public or mainte-nance personnel.(0.02619)(Frequency (in MHz))0.6834 = (0.02619)(915)0.6834 = 2.77 W/m2
Limites d’innocuité du lecteur OrionMD utilisé avec uneantenne externe (902 à 921,5 MHz)Aux États-Unis, les directives environnementales concernant les niveaux d’exposition acceptables sont émises par l’OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration).L’article 1910.97 de la norme de santé et de sécurité 2206 de l’OSHA fixe la limite d’exposition acceptable à une moyenne de 10 milliwatts par centimètre carré (mW/cm2) sur une période de 6 minutes à 902 MHz. Les normes de l’Industrie Canada, CNR-102, 5e édition recommandent de ne pas dépasser la densité de puis-sance suivante, exprimée en W/m2 :Ainsi, le niveau maximal d’exposition permis pour la population générale et les situations d’exposition non contrôlée à 915 MHz est de 2,77 W/m2 en moyenne sur une période de 6 minutes.Le niveau maximal d’exposition permis dans un cadre professionnel ou contrôlé est de19,53W/m2 en moyenne sur une période de 6 minutes.La densité de puissance des RF générées par le lecteur Orion a été calculée pour un gain d’antenne maximal de 14,0 dBi, soit l’équivalent du gain de l’antenne de péage universelle.Mise en gardeAvec une puissance transmise de 1,6 W et une atténuation de transmission de 0 dB, la densité de puissance maximale calculée à 42,5 pouces (108 cm) de l’antenne était inférieure à 2,77 W/m2. Par mesure de précau-tion, installer l’antenne à au moins 42,5 pouces (108 cm) de la population générale. Le personnel d’entre-tien doit se tenir à au moins 16,4 pouces (41 cm) de l’antenne lorsque le système est en cours d’utilisation.Les données confirment que l’utilisation de l’toll antenna ou d’une antenne équivalente avec le lecteur multi-protocole Orion répond aux exigences de l’OSHA et ne présente pas de danger lié à son utilisation, que ce soit pour la population générale ou le personnel d’entretien.(0,02619)(Fréquence (en MHz))0,6834 =(0,02619)(915)0,6834 =2,77 W/m2

By using the Sync function in the Orion Readers, the readers operate only during interleaved time peri-ods.Note: In sites where installing Sync cabling is not an option, you can use the global positioning system (GPS) timing alternative. See Appendix D, “Orion Reader Options,” for more information.The Orion Reader can support multiple lanes using Sync cabling. This connection pro-vides a synchronization interface between readers where RF interference between readers is reduced by multiplexing the RF reader transmission to independent time slots. Allowing each reader or group of readers to operate at an allotted time elimi-nates interference from readers in adjacent lanes.Although you need to configure the readers to operate using Sync, the interface con-nection for Sync, can be provided to all the readers in a plaza before or during installa-

Figure 3-3 Sync Configuration ExampleStar Systems recommends Belden 89182 (150  impedance), which is a single twisted-pair shielded cable rated for outdoor use, or 8132 (120  impedance), which is a double twisted-pair shielded cable that must be installed in conduit. The Belden 8132 cable has an extra pair that is not used. Using these low-loss, low-capacitance twisted-pair cable, a distance of 1000 feet (305 m) has been obtained. Cables with lower capacitance can be used to run the Sync cables for longer distances while main-taining signal integrity. This maximum distance may be slightly longer or shorter depending on the cable used.Because the Sync signals are based on RS–485 signals, you can extend the length of the Sync bus by using RS–485 repeaters or by using fiber with converters. The stan-dard Sync interconnect is provided via pins 3 and 4 of the DB15 connector (Table 3-1).External Digital Input/Output ConnectorThe External Digital Input/Output Assembly is used to interface the Orion Reader with external inputs and outputs. Inputs can be devices such as light curtains or loops, and outputs can be devices such as gates or lights. (Connector is P/N 33357-01). This option is described in detail in Appendix D, “Orion Reader Options.” The I/O Board is pre-installed in the Orion Reader but I/O modules must be purchased separately.Connecting to AntennaConnect the Orion Reader to a toll antenna using the single low-loss coaxial cable.

A single Orion Reader can be connected directly to a single host, which is known as point-to-point connection. Multiple Orion Readers also can be connected to a single host on a private local area network, or LAN.In a multiple reader-to-host configuration, Star Systems recommends that the setup has a dedicated network interface card (NIC) on the host that is then connected to an Ethernet switch into which only the Orion Readers are connected. Note: Do not connect any other device to that switch.In this configuration the host would have another NIC that is connected to the main network infrastructure to interact with the remainder of the toll system components.The Ethernet switch should support 100 Mb/s full duplex operation to be fully com-patible with the Orion Reader.Ethernet Connector forTCP CommunicationsTable 3-4 RF Antenna Connector SpecificationsConnector Type N-Type FemaleOutput Power Up to 2 watts

General Software InformationUse or disclosure of Proprietary Information contained on this sheet is subject to the restriction stated on the title page of this document. 4-3Chapter 4General Software InformationThis chapter provides transmission control protocol (TCP) information for the Orion® Reader.Software InformationThis chapter presents various software-related topics arranged in alphabetical order by subject. In addition to this chapter, refer to Chapter 5, “Communication Protocols,” and Chapter 6, “Configuring and Operating the Orion Reader Using TCP Com-mands,” for more information.The Orion Reader operates using TCP commands. This chapter presents TCP com-mand information.TCP Command and Response ConventionsThe Orion Reader implements TCP command requests, data acknowledgments, com-mand responses, asynchronous responses, and unsolicited status messages as required for configuration and operation. The messages are listed in Table 4-1.Note: Throughout this chapter, host or host system refers to a host personal computer (PC) or lane controller.Table 4-1 TCP Command MessagesMessage DescriptionCommand request The host initiates and uses these messages to request the Orion Reader to performspecific actions.Data acknowledge The Orion Reader initiates and uses these messages to signal the reception ofcommand request messages received from the host. Additionally, the host initiatesand uses data acknowledge messages to signal the receipt of command response,asynchronous response, and unsolicited status messages from the Orion Reader.Command response The Orion Reader initiates these messages in response to specific commandrequest messages received from the host.Asynchronousresponse The Orion Reader optionally initiates these messages in response to specificcommand request messages received from the host.Unsolicited status The Orion Reader initiates and uses these messages to inform the host aboutspecific status conditions in the Orion Reader.
Orionl Reader System Guide4-4 Use or disclosure of Proprietary Information contained on this sheet is subject to the restriction stated on the title page of this document.Lane Controller Heartbeat ControlsAfter the Lane Controller or host connects to the Orion Reader via TCP/IP, the Orion Reader sends the LC Heartbeat message (unsolicited OK status message format) to the Lane Controller or host every 10 seconds.On receiving the LC Heartbeat message from the Orion Reader, the Lane Controller or host sends the appropriate data acknowledge message to the Orion Reader. If the Lane Controller or host does not acknowledge this message after three times, the Orion Reader closes the connection. Figure 4-1 shows the Orion Reader LC heartbeat con-trols in detail.Figure 4-1 Orion Reader LC Heartbeat ControlsSequence Number ControlsThe Orion Reader implements message sequence numbers (MSN) and command sequence numbers (CSN) in all of the message types (e.g., command request, data acknowledge, command response, asynchronous response, and unsolicited status). All transmitted messages, except for the data acknowledge message, increment the MSN and CSN. The host and the Orion Reader must implement independent transmit and receive counters for both the MSNs and the CSNs. The transmit counters are used in generating the transmitted messages, and the receive counters are used in the received message out-of-sequence error checking. An out-of-sequence error indicates that a message was missed.Note: CSNs are checked and generated by the reader for the System Interface Command Group only. For all other command groups the reader ignores host-generated CSNs, and the reader does not implement CSNs on any reader-generated message. The host should ignore CSNs on all messages from the reader for all command groups except for the System Interface Command Group.With the exception of received data acknowledge messages, the Orion Reader per-forms automatic MSN and CSN resynchronizations on all received messages that are out-of-sequence. Upon receiving an out-of-sequence MSN, the Orion Reader sets the receive MSN counter to the out-of-sequence MSN plus one. Similarly, upon receiving an out-of-sequence CSN, the Orion Reader sets the receive CSN counter to the out-of-sequence CSN plus one.The host MSNs independently track the number of messages sent to the Orion Reader
General Software InformationUse or disclosure of Proprietary Information contained on this sheet is subject to the restriction stated on the title page of this document. 4-5and the Orion Reader MSNs independently track the number of messages sent to the host. These MSNs are used on the receiving end to determine if a message has been missed.The host CSNs for each command group independently track the number of command request messages sent to the Orion Reader. The Orion Reader CSNs for each com-mand group independently track the number of command response, asynchronous response, and unsolicited status messages sent to the host. These CSNs are used on the receiving end to determine if the appropriate message as specified above has been missed.The host and the Orion Reader use software communication sequence number con-trols as defined in the following paragraphs.The Orion Reader sends data acknowledge, command response, asynchronous response, and unsolicited status messages to the host with MSNs starting at zero and incremented by one for each message sent, except for the data acknowledge message. Additionally, the CSNs for each command group start at zero and are incremented by one for each command response, asynchronous response, and unsolicited status mes-sage sent. Figure 4-2 and Figure 4-3 provide details on the sequence number controls.The host receives data acknowledge, command response, asynchronous response, and unsolicited status messages from the Orion Reader and checks that the MSNs and CSNs are correct for all received message types except for the data acknowledge mes-sage.The Orion Reader receives command request messages and data acknowledge mes-sages from the host and checks that the MSNs and CSNs are correct for all command request messages received. The Orion Reader performs automatic MSN and CSN resynchronizations on all received command request messages that are out-of-sequence. Currently, the CSN resynchronizations are not fully supported.If the Orion Reader detects either a message sequence error or command sequence error, the Orion Reader sends the appropriate error message to the host that includes the expected and received sequence numbers and then continues processing the received message. Currently the message sequence error and command sequence error messages are not fully supported.

If the sum of the delay and duration periods equals the synchronization rate, unexpected results can occur.Slave Select Count — This field specifies the order that a slave or GPS primary or secondary reader issues a synchronization pulse whenever a given reader within a syn-chronization group fails to recognize the signal from the preassigned master or when-ever a GPS receiver fails to issue a 1-pps signal, respectively. The maximum slave count = 26.Scenario 1 — One master, n slaves. The master has no slave behavior, therefore it is assigned a slave select count of 0. Each slave is assigned an increasingly greater num-ber from 1 to n. When the master fails, slave 1 becomes the master, and so on.Scenario 2 — GPS primary, GPS secondary, N slave readers. When in fault mode (1-pps signal missing), a GPS primary is slave to a GPS secondary and all other slaves and is assigned the last slave select count, n. A GPS secondary takes over when a GPS primary is in fault mode, therefore it is assigned a slave select count of 1. All slaves are assigned increasingly greater numbers from 2 to n+1.Scenario 3 — One GPS primary and n slaves. This scenario forces the GPS primary to have no slave behavior by specifying a slave select count of 0. Each slave is an increasingly higher number from 1 to n. When the master fails, slave 1 becomes the master. If slave 1 should fail, slave 2 takes over, and so on (Table 6-196).0 Not Master1 MasterSlave Definition0 Not Slave1 SlaveTable 6-196 Reader Slave ConfigurationTableScenario 1 —One Master, n SlavesReader Mode Master Slave Slave Slave Slave SlaveSlave Select Count 0 1 2 … n-1 nScenario 2 —GPS Primary, GPS Secondary, n SlavesReader Mode GPSSecondary Slave Slave Slave Slave GPSPrimarySlave Select Count 1 2 3 … n+1 n+2

Tag ResponsesUse or disclosure of Proprietary Information contained on this sheet is subject to the restriction stated on the title page of this document. 7-3Chapter 7Tag ResponsesThis chapter provides tag responses for transmission control protocol (TCP).TCP Tag ResponsesIn general, the tag response is transmitted as the record type code and the tag response data. Response lengths vary depending on the tag response record type. The tag response record type communicates to the host the tag response type that the reader processed.TCP Tag Response Field DefinitionsTag command processing allows the host-Orion® Reader interface to be more under-standable and maintainable. All of the interfaces closely parallel the Orion Reader-to-tag interface. Tag processing responses are listed in Table 7-1.Specific TCP Tag ResponsesThis section describes the various tag responses to requests.Tag Data and CRC are used for parsing and format purposes only. The record types shown contain valid data.Table 7-1 Tag Transaction Record TypesRecord Type Code Corresponding Tag Response3024H Title 21 Read Response3043H Seen Frame Counter Report5014H CVISN Read Response5026H IAG Read Response5027H IAG Cross-Lane Read Response7000H EPC Read Response7010H EPC + TID Read Response (Mode 89 Only)

Table 7-2 lists the response data.Note: A Title 21 response consists of a 0001 record type; however, there is a response code conflict with the Set Mode Command response (0001) in TCP. The Orion Reader addresses this conflict by replacing the 0001 Title 21 response code with a 3024 response code.Record TypeThis field identifies the message as a Title 21 Read Response message. This field con-tains the following value: 3024H - Title 21 Read_Response.Tag TypeThis four-bit field is used to uniquely differentiate the State of California tags/tran-sponders from those originating in other state agencies. Currently, the tag type value defaults to 0 (California). Values of 1 to 15 are unassigned at this time.Internal Tag IDThis field contains the Title 21 ID for the responding tag.CRCThis field contains the standard message CRC.

8Configuring the Lane
Configuring the LaneUse or disclosure of Proprietary Information contained on this sheet is subject to the restriction stated on the title page of this document. 8-3Chapter 8Configuring the LaneThis chapter provides information on the importance of lane tuning for optimum automatic vehicle identification (AVI) system performance. This chapter also describes the Orion® Reader functions and features that can assist you in tuning an AVI lane.Why You Need to Configure a LaneLane configuration optimizes the radio frequency (RF) characteristics and signal tim-ing of an AVI-equipped toll lane to maximize the performance prescribed by the lane’s traffic requirements. Typically, consideration of these factors is necessary for each individual lane, although in some installations it may be possible to identify broader solutions, then apply these solutions to certain classes of lanes having similar charac-teristics, followed by additional fine adjustment on an individual lane-by-lane basis. This process is necessitated by the radio link, which is subject to varying factors such as:•Lane type•Geometry of fixed objects near the capture zone•Interference from external sources•Adjacent lane interference•Natural non-homogeneity of RF field strength within the ideal capture zone•Varying tag environmentsThese factors may vary within an installation and from lane to lane within the same plaza.The tag protocol types used at an installation play a significant role in configur-ing the lanes for operation. Knowing the appropriate factors and available tools is nec-essary for the set-up and troubleshooting of AVI lanes.Marking the Read ZoneThe area where the Orion Reader reads tags at the current RF range is called the read zone. The antenna pattern, or read zone, of the Orion Reader would look roughly like a pear-shaped balloon if you were able to see it. When installing the toll antenna, you should first mark the unit’s read zone using the RF range set at the factory-default maximum.If two toll antennas are installed near each other, Star Systems recommends that you
Orion Reader System Guide8-4 Use or disclosure of Proprietary Information contained on this sheet is subject to the restriction stated on the title page of this document.fine-tune each reader for the ideal read zone before connecting it permanently to sense input/sense output and communications cables.Required SuppliesYou need the following supplies to mark the read zone:•Test tags, supplied by the Star Systems dealer or distributor•Audible circuit tester and 9V DC battery for circuit tester power as described in the section•Piece of chalk or roll of tape•Plastic or wooden yardstick for tags•Vinyl electrical tape or hook-and-loop materialGuidelinesNote: Using test tags that are not mounted to vehicles give a general idea of the read pattern, but the pattern will vary somewhat when actual vehicles with tags are tested. Final adjustments must be made with tags properly mounted on a variety of vehicles.To mark the read zone1. Turn on continuous RF power using the #6411 command.2. Secure the test tag to the end of the yardstick using electrical tape or hook-and-loop material. Be sure the tag polarization (horizontal or vertical alignment) matches that of the toll antenna.3. Stand directly in front of and about 5 feet (1.5 m) away from the overhead toll antenna. Hold the stick so that the tag is positioned at a height and angle consistent with a tag installed on a vehicle. The audible tester sounds upon tag read. If the tester does not sound, try a different tag. If the tester still does not sound, verify that the tester is working correctly and retest the tag.Note: If you hold the test tag in your hand, your hand absorbs the RF signal and the test results are not accurate.4. Mark the spot with chalk or tape.5. Move to the left until the sound stops and mark the ground with chalk or tape at the location of the tag when the sound stopped.6. Return to the center and then move to the right until the sound stops and mark the ground with chalk or tape at the location of the tag when the sound stopped.7. Return to the center and step backward 2 feet (0.6 m) and repeat steps 5 through 7.

Continue moving the tag in this manner, placing marks on the ground to identify the boundary of the read zone each time the sound stops. Continue moving the tag to various locations until the read zone is fully marked.9. You can now connect the outer marks to draw the outer boundary of the read zone.Figure 8-1 is a view of a sample read zone within a controlled lane. The outer X marks show the outside edges of the read zone.Figure 8-1 Sample Read Zone Marking Pattern10. Standing at the farthest point of the pattern, walk toward the toll antenna and listen for a continuous sound from the audible tester. If the sound is not continuous, it could indicate a weak or patchy RF pattern.Use the appropriate TCP command (Set RF Attenuation (0051H) or Set Data Detect (0053H) or both) to adjust the footprint for the installation’s tag protocols. To decrease the size of the footprint, increase the attenuation, which lowers the transmit RF power.Lane Configuration ExamplesThis section presents starting values for lane configuration parameters that can be used for various protocol combinations. The tables do not represent all of the possible protocol combinations available with the Orion Reader, but they provide a framework for developing installation-specific configuration parameters.

This section describes the preventive maintenance steps and troubleshooting techniques that can help determine if a component is failing.Hardware Preventive Maintenance ScheduleTable 9-16 lists the schedule of preventive maintenance activities for the Orion Reader system components.Visual InspectionThe Orion Reader system is very reliable, so any service-related problems most likely will be due to external causes, such as damage to components. Visually inspect each system component and replace or repair components, if serviceable, as needed.To perform a visual inspection1. Inspect the transmit/receive antenna for signs of damage or corrosion.2. Check cables between the transmit/receive antenna and the Orion Reader. Look for damage or loose connections.Table 9-16 Preventive MaintenanceTask SchedulePeriod Task DescriptionWeekly Visually inspect the antennas for physical damage, such ascracks or stressed cables.Quarterly Visually inspect all transmit/receive antenna cables for signs ofdamage or water invasion.Semiannually Check the lane configuration. See Chapter 9 for detailed laneconfiguration settings.The toll antennas have two weep holes located at the lower leftand right corners of the radome. Check that these holes areopen to allow any trapped water to drain from the antenna.Note If the antennas are installed upside down (Star Systemslogo is upside down) drill two new weep holes in thelower left and right corners of the radome.Annually Check NEMA enclosure seal for signs of damage or waterinvasion.

Global Positioning System Timing OptionThe Global Positioning System (GPS) timing option available on Orion Readers per-mits a GPS-equipped multiprotocol reader in one plaza to be synchronized with another GPS-equipped multiprotocol reader in another location without being physi-cally connected by a sync cable. This configuration is highly useful when physical barriers or boundaries prevent a sync cable between plazas to be used. The GPS option also can be used to synchronize any number of GPS-equipped multiprotocol readers when no physical barrier is present. The GPS timing assembly, which uses the globally available NAVSTAR GPS satel-lite navigation and timing service, can provide a precise 1 pulse per second (PPS) tim-ing signal to the Orion Reader. The GPS timing assembly mounts to the top of the Orion Reader (Figure D-5).Figure D-5 GPS Assembly
Orion Reader OptionsUse or disclosure of Proprietary Information contained on this sheet is subject to the restriction stated on the title page of this document. D-11This GPS timing option permits a GPS-equipped Orion Reader in one plaza to be syn-chronized with another GPS-equipped Orion Reader in another plaza without being physically connected by a Sync data cable (Figure D-6). This configuration is useful when physical barriers or long distances prevent a Sync data cable between plazas to be used. Figure D-6 Sync Configuration Using GPS Timing OptionStar Systems recommends Belden 89182 (150  impedance), which is a single twisted-pair shielded cable rated for outdoor use, or 8132 (120  impedance), which is a double twisted-pair shielded cable that must be installed in conduit. The Belden 8132 cable has an extra pair that is not used. Using these low-loss, low-capacitance twisted-pair cable, a distance of 1000 feet (305 m) has been obtained. This maximum distance may be slightly longer or shorter depending on the cable type used.

Orion Reader OptionsUse or disclosure of Proprietary Information contained on this sheet is subject to the restriction stated on the title page of this document. D-15Note: The GPS antenna installation must comply with applicable structural and building codes for the locale where it is being installed.1. Select a location for the GPS antenna that provides maximum visibility to the sky.2. Secure the antenna pole mounting hardware to the site structure.3. Connect the antenna pole to the mounting hardware.4. Insert the RF coaxial cable up through the inside of the mounting pipe and connect the cable to the antenna using a Type-N plug connector.Refer to Figure D-9 when assembling the antenna components.You also can cut a 1-inch (2.54-cm) wide by 2-inch (5.1-cm) long slot in the side of the mounting pipe (Figure D-9). Star Systems recommends this procedure for installing the RF coaxial cable when it cannot be pulled through the bottom of the pipe.5. Pull the cable up through the pipe bottom or slot and terminate it at the antenna port.Note: If you choose to use a different mounting pole material than the 1-¼ inch (3.175 cm) Schedule 40 pipe, the pole material should have a nominal outside diame-ter of 1.66 inches (4.2 cm). Proper material selection for the field installation is left to the system installers.6. Slip the antenna mount over the coaxial cable.7. Screw the Type-N plug connector onto the type-N antenna receptacle connector and tighten until snug.8. Connect the mount to the antenna by tightening the four captive screws until snug.9. Push the antenna-mount assembly onto the antenna pipe or pole and tighten the hex-head set screws on the antenna mount.10. Connect the antenna to the Orion Reader at the GPS antenna cable port (Figure D-5). Tighten this SMA connector to 10 in-lb.

Orion Reader OptionsUse or disclosure of Proprietary Information contained on this sheet is subject to the restriction stated on the title page of this document. D-17Note: As the GPS system activates, the Sync error LED lights on the Orion Reader. This error indication usually clears in about 1 minute, but it can take as long as 15 minutes.Using the TCP Command SetConfigure and test the GPS timing option using the TCP command set by sending the appropriate TCP command (“Set Master/Slave Mode” on page 6-109).Configuring the Reader/Slave CountThis section explains how to configure the reader/slave hierarchy (GPS primary/GPS secondary or master/slave) using the GPS TCP command.Choose one field only, for example, GPS primary, GPS secondary, master, or slave.GPS Primary — This field specifies whether the reader is to be configured as the GPS primary.GPS Secondary — This field specifies whether the reader is to be configured as the GPS secondary.GPS Primary Definition0 Not GPS Primary1 GPS PrimaryGPS Secondary Definition0 Not GPS Secondary1 GPS Secondary
Orion Reader System GuideD-18 Use or disclosure of Proprietary Information contained on this sheet is subject to the restriction stated on the title page of this document.Master — This field specifies whether the reader is to be configured as the master.Slave — This field specifies whether the reader is to be configured as the slave.For this example, the sum of the delay and duration period is 19.9 milliseconds, which is less than the synchronization rate of 20 milliseconds. If the sum of the delay and duration periods equals the synchronization rate, unexpected results can occur.Slave Select Count — This field specifies the order that a slave or GPS primary or secondary reader issues a synchronization pulse whenever a given reader within a syn-chronization group fails to recognize the signal from the preassigned master or when-ever a GPS receiver fails to issue a 1-pps signal, respectively. The maximum slave count = 26.Scenario 1 — One master, n slaves. The master has no slave behavior, therefore it is assigned a slave select count of 0. Each slave is assigned an increasingly greater num-ber from 1 to n. When the master fails, slave 1 becomes the master, and so on.Scenario 2 — GPS primary, GPS secondary, N slave readers. When in fault mode (1-pps signal missing), a GPS primary is slave to a GPS secondary and all other slaves and is assigned the last slave select count, n. A GPS secondary takes over when a GPS primary is in fault mode, therefore it is assigned a slave select count of 1. All slaves are assigned increasingly greater numbers from 2 to n+1.Scenario 3 — One GPS primary and n slaves. This scenario forces the GPS primary to have no slave behavior by specifying a slave select count of 0. Each slave is an increasingly higher number from 1 to n. When the master fails, slave 1 becomes the master. If slave 1 should fail, slave 2 takes over, and so on (Table D-6).Master Definition0 Not Master1 MasterSlave Definition0 Not Slave1 SlaveTable D-6 Reader Slave Count ConfigurationTableScenario 1 —One Master, n SlavesReader Mode Master Slave Slave Slave Slave SlaveSlave Select Count 0 1 2 … n-1 n

The GPS antenna cable connects the receiver to the assembly’s end panel and is externally available.For applications requiring lightning protection on the GPS assembly/antenna system, the lightning arrestor must be able to pass DC voltage or current on the center conduc-tor of the coaxial cable. The GPS assembly transmits a DC bias voltage and current through the center conductor from to the antenna to power the low-noise amplifier, which is integrated into the active GPS antenna. Using a DC-block lightning protec-tion system will not work. Star Systems recommends you use a gas-discharge-type system designed for an active GPS antenna.Regulatory RequirementsEmissionsThe GPS assembly complies with the requirements of FCC Part 90, FCC Part 15, and industry Canada RSS-137 (where applicable).SafetyThe GPS assembly is UL60950 approved.Table D-8 GPS Antenna SpecificationsParameter SpecificationOperating temperature -40°F to +185°F (-40°Cto+85°C)Operating frequency 1527.42 ±1.023 MHz, typicalPower supply 5V DCCurrent 27 mA maximumPolarization RT hand circularOutput VSWR 2.5 maximumGain 30 dB minimum

D-21Electrical ProtectionESDWith the GPS assembly installed and operated as part of a complete Orion chassis assembly, the assembly complies with the requirements of the International Electro-technical Commission/Comite, Europe, en de Normalisation (IEC/EN) 61000-4-2, Class 4 standard (Table D-9).Antenna Drive and Protection CircuitryThe receiver uses an antenna sense circuit that detects under-current (open), over-cur-rent (shorted or exceeding maximum), or valid antenna connection. The receiver sup-plies up to 80 milliamps (mA) of current via the antenna power supply circuit. If the antenna draws 15 mA or more, a status bit in the antenna status information is set, giving a good indication that an antenna is attached. If the antenna draws less than 15 mA, an alarm bit is set indicating an under-current condition in the antenna status information. If more then 80 mA is drawn through the antenna port, then the over-current detection circuitry will reduce the antenna feed current to approximately 45 mA until the fault is cleared. Detection of an under-current situation will not prevent the receiver from operating. The receiver will continue to operate normally, but will issue an error flag indicating a possible antenna problem.Antenna Drive Current LimitsUndercurrent detect @+77oF (25oC)Good Indication: greater than 15 mAUndercurrent Indication: less than 15 mAOver-current Detect @+77oF (25oC): 80 mA maximum for normal operationTable D-9 ESD Limits and ConditionsDischarge Voltage 16.0 kVPolarity PositiveNumber of Repetitions 2 pulsesESD System NSG438 system, which complies with a 150-picofarad/330-ohmdischarge network of the IEC/EN 61000-4-2 standardTest conditions All ESD tests are performed at +77F (+25C)

If a fault condition exists, the message displays GPS Self Test Fault = 1, which means that an error condition exists with either the GPS receiver or coaxial antenna cable. You can display the fault status by entering a ShowSysStatus-Bits command from a PC.If a fault condition exists, first check the GPS coaxial cable and connections. After checking the cable, if the fault condition remains, switch the cable with another, good, cable. If the fault condition continues, return the GPS assembly to Star Systems.If the GPS self-test reveals no faults, the status bit displays GPS Self Test Fault = 0. No further action is required.
