InstallationINTRODUCTIONCongratulations on buying Hemisphere GPS’ new <strong>Crescent</strong><strong>R100</strong>. The <strong>Crescent</strong> <strong>R100</strong> is a GPS <strong>receiver</strong> that tracks GPS andSBAS (WAAS and EGNOS). There are several varieties of the<strong>Crescent</strong> <strong>R100</strong> that also track DGPS radiobeacon signals and/orL-Band (OmniSTAR ® ). See Table 1-1 for a list of all the availablecombinations. All of the <strong>Crescent</strong> <strong>R100</strong> varieties utilize HemisphereGPS’ exclusive COAST technology during differential outages. The<strong>R100</strong> is also capable of using Hemisphere’s e-Dif technology.This provides you with sub-meter performance within 50centimeter accuracy 95% of the time. This chapter provides thefollowing information:• Features• Installation• Connecting to a power sourceNote: Any reference to the <strong>R100</strong> can be taken as any of thefollowing <strong>receiver</strong>s: <strong>R100</strong>, R110, R120 or R130.

<strong>Crescent</strong> <strong>R100</strong> User GuideFEATURESThe <strong>Crescent</strong> <strong>R100</strong> has several new features that will enhance youruser experience. The main differences over the <strong>R100</strong>’spredecessors are the LED’s and the menu system.LEDThe <strong>Crescent</strong> <strong>R100</strong> uses three LEDs. These LEDs function aredefined as:• Red: power indicator; this LED will illuminate when the<strong>R100</strong> is powered.• Yellow: GPS lock indicator; This LED will remainilluminated once the <strong>R100</strong> achieves a solid GPS lock.• Blinking Green: Differential lock indicator; This indicatorwill blink when the <strong>R100</strong> has achieved a solid SBAS,beacon, or OmniSTAR lock with better than a 150 bit errorrate (BER) or when it is successfully receiving externallyinput RTCM corrections.• Solid Green: DGPS position indicator; this LED will solidifywhen the <strong>receiver</strong> has achieved a differential position andthe pseudoorange residual of better than 10.0 meters. ifthe residual value is worse than the current threshold, thegreen LED will blink indicating that differential mode hasbeen attained, but that the residual has not met thethreshold.Menu systemThe menu system on the <strong>R100</strong> is designed for easy setup andconfiguration of the unit in the field or in the office. Mostconfigurations can be done entirely through the menu systemwithout having to connect to a computer or PDA. Figures 1-1 toFigure 1-10 provide a flow chart of the main menu system.3

InstallationINSTALLATIONCable interfaceThe power cable is unterminated for easy integration into anysystem and must reach an appropriate power source. The dataconnector (DB9) communication port must reach to connect to adata storage device, computer or other device that accepts GPSdata.When choosing a route for all of the <strong>Crescent</strong> <strong>R100</strong> cables:• Avoid running cables in areas of excessive heat• Keep cables away from corrosive chemicals• Do not run the extension cable through door or windowjams• Keep the cables away from rotating machinery• Do not bend excessively or crimp the cables• Avoid placing tension on the cables• Remove unwanted slack from the extension cable at the<strong>receiver</strong> end• Secure along the cable route using plastic wrapsWarning!Improperly installed cables near machinery can bedangerous.18


<strong>Crescent</strong> <strong>R100</strong> User GuideAntenna and <strong>Crescent</strong> <strong>R100</strong> placementPlacement of the antenna that comes with the <strong>R100</strong> is crucial tothe system’s operation. The GPS engine inside the <strong>Crescent</strong> <strong>R100</strong>computes a position based upon measurements from each satelliteto the center of the antenna. Mount the antenna at a location atwhich you would like to reference your position. Make certain thatthere is an unobstructed view of the sky available when choosing alocation to mount the antenna. This will ensure that GPS satellitesare not masked by obstructions, potentially reducing systemperformance.Mount the <strong>R100</strong> unit inside the vehicle, away from the elementsand in a location that minimizes vibration, shock, extremetemperatures and moisture.Powering the <strong>Crescent</strong> <strong>R100</strong>To power the <strong>Crescent</strong> <strong>R100</strong>:1. Connect the unterminated ends of the <strong>Crescent</strong> <strong>R100</strong> powercable to a clean power source providing between 8 and36 VDC.2. Turn on the system by applying power to it and pressing thethe on/off switch on the back panel. The <strong>Crescent</strong> <strong>R100</strong>accepts an input voltage between 8-36 VDC via the powercable. For best performance, the supplied power should be19


Installationcontinuous and clean. Table B-1 in the Appendix provides thepower specifications of the <strong>Crescent</strong> <strong>R100</strong> smart antenna. A3.0 A quick-blow fuse is situated in-line of the power cable. Thefuse protects the <strong>Crescent</strong> <strong>R100</strong> from power surges. The fusecontainer should remain accessible after installation.Note: We suggest that a weather-tight connection andconnector be used if the connection will be located outside.Warning!Be careful not to provide a voltage higher than the inputrange (36 VDC). This will damage the <strong>receiver</strong> and will voidthe warranty.Warning!Do not attempt to operate the <strong>Crescent</strong> <strong>R100</strong> with the fusebypassed. Such a modification will void the productwarranty.The <strong>Crescent</strong> <strong>R100</strong> features reverse polarity protection toprevent damage if the power leads are accidentally reversed.With the application of power, the <strong>Crescent</strong> <strong>R100</strong> will proceedthrough an internal start-up sequence, however it will be readyto communicate immediately.Note: The first start-up can take from 5 to 15 minutesdepending on your location. The <strong>receiver</strong> will lock within1 to 5 minutes once the <strong>receiver</strong> has an updated almanacfor the first time. This may vary depending where you are inthe world.20


<strong>Crescent</strong> <strong>R100</strong> User GuideNote: The <strong>Crescent</strong> <strong>R100</strong> can take up to five minutes for afull ionoshperic map to be received from WAAS. Optimumaccuracy will be obtained once the <strong>Crescent</strong> <strong>R100</strong> isprocessing corrected positions using complete ionosphericinformation.21


InstallationCONNECTING THE CRESCENT <strong>R100</strong>TO EXTERNAL DEVICESThe serial ports of the <strong>Crescent</strong> <strong>R100</strong> operate at the RS-232Cinterface level to communicate with external data loggers,navigation systems and other devices. The two serial ports areaccessible via the back panel and are both DB9 female connectors.The serial port is also used for firmware updates. Figure 1-2displays the numbering for the power cable’s DB9 connector(female). The associated numbering for the plug connector (male)is a mirror reflection of the scheme shown in figure 1-2.Figure 1-16. DB9 socket numberingNote: For successful communication, the baud rate of the<strong>Crescent</strong> <strong>R100</strong> serial ports must be set to match that of thedevices to which they are connected. Table 1-2 and 1-3, onpages 24 and 25, provides the pin configuration for the serialports.22

InstallationGPS OVERVIEWThis chapter describes the various modes of operation and featuresof your <strong>Crescent</strong> <strong>R100</strong> <strong>receiver</strong> and internal sensors. For yourconvenience, both the GPS and differential correction of the<strong>Crescent</strong> <strong>R100</strong> are pre-configured. The <strong>receiver</strong> will work out of thebox, and for most applications, little user set up is necessary.When powered for the first time, the <strong>Crescent</strong> <strong>R100</strong> will perform a“cold start,” which involves acquiring the available GPS satellites inview and the WAAS/EGNOS differential service.GPS OperationThe GPS engine is always operating, regardless of the DGPS modeof operation. The following sections describe the general operationof the <strong>Crescent</strong> <strong>R100</strong>’s internal GPS engine.Automatic TrackingThe GPS engine within the <strong>Crescent</strong> <strong>R100</strong> automatically searchesfor GPS satellites, acquires the signals and manages the navigationinformation required for positioning and tracking. This is ahands-free mode of operation.Receiver PerformanceThe <strong>Crescent</strong> <strong>R100</strong> works by finding 4 or more GPS satellites in thevisible sky and uses the information those satellites provide tocompute an appropriate position (within 5 meters). Since there issome error in the GPS data calculations, the <strong>Crescent</strong> <strong>R100</strong> alsotracks a differential correction. The <strong>Crescent</strong> <strong>R100</strong> uses thesecorrections to improve its position to less than 1 meter.28


<strong>Crescent</strong> <strong>R100</strong> User GuideThere are two main aspects of GPS <strong>receiver</strong> performance:• Positioning• Satellite acquisition qualityWhen the <strong>Crescent</strong> <strong>R100</strong> is properly positioned on your vehicle, thesatellites transmit coded information to the antenna on a specificfrequency that allows the <strong>receiver</strong> to calculate a range to eachsatellite. GPS is essentially a timing system. The ranges arecalculated by timing how long it takes for the GPS signal to reachthe GPS antenna. To calculate the geographic location, the GPS<strong>receiver</strong> uses a complex algorithm incorporating satellite locationsand ranges to each satellite. Reception of any four or more of thesesignals allows a GPS <strong>receiver</strong> to compute 3-dimensionalcoordinates.Differential OperationThe Radio Technical Commission of Marine services (RTCM) has adifferential service intended for correction services. This includesWide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) and other compatibleSpace Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS), such as the EuropeanGeo-stationary Navigation Overlay System (EGNOS). The <strong>Crescent</strong><strong>R100</strong> is compatible with each of these differential services inaddition to Hemisphere GPS’s patented e-Dif.Automatic SBAS (WAAS, EGNOS, MSAS, etc) TrackingThe <strong>Crescent</strong> <strong>R100</strong> will automatically scan and track the satellitesignals. This automatic tracking allows you to focus on otheraspects of differential operation without the need to tune the<strong>receiver</strong>. The <strong>Crescent</strong> <strong>R100</strong> features two-channel SBAS trackingthat provides an enhanced ability to maintain a lock on a SBASsatellite when more than one satellite is in view. This redundanttracking approach results in more consistent tracking of a SBASsignal when in an area where signal blockage of a satellite ispossible.29


Installatione-DifA <strong>Crescent</strong> <strong>R100</strong> that is equipped with Hemisphere’s e-Difcapabilities can operate anywhere in the world where normal GPSsignals can be viewed. e-Dif is only available with a specialsubscription code. Hemisphere developed e-Dif for our customerswho are not able to receive other types of differential signals due tolocation or budget. e-Dif requires a subscription. Once theHemisphere e-Dif capable <strong>Crescent</strong> <strong>R100</strong> computes a differentialcorrection, the user can operate for up to 40 minutes beforeneeding to go back to a reference position and updating thedifferential correctors. During this 40 minutes, e-Dif’s positionaccuracy is typically within 2 meters (6 feet), relative to theoriginal location.30
