Chapter 2: Installing AtlasLink

Mounting AtlasLink
This section provides information on where to mount your antenna and the different mounting
options available.

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.

Routing and Securing the Cables


Consider the following when routing cables:
• Power/data cable must reach an appropriate power source
• Power/data cable may connect to a data storage device, computer, or other device that
accepts GNSS data
• Do not run cables in areas of excessive heat
• Do not expose cables to corrosive chemicals
• Do not crimp or excessively bend cables
• Do not place tension on cables
• Coil up excess cable in the cab of the vehicle or near the antenna
• Secure along the cable route using plastic tie wraps as necessary
• Do not run cables near high voltage or strong RF noise and transmitter sources

Improperly installed cables near machinery may cause injury or death.

Mounting Options
AtlasLink allows for the following mounting options:
• Surface mount
• Pole mount

AtlasLink User Guide 6 PN 875-0352-D Rev A4


Chapter 2: Installing AtlasLink

Surface Mount
You can surface-mount AtlasLink with four machine screws (no. 8-32).

Top Bottom

To surface-mount AtlasLink:
1. Determine the desired location for AtlasLink (see “Selecting the Proper Antenna
Location” on page7).
2. A template of the bottom portion of the AtlasLink surface-mount has been provided to
you within the included AtlasLink accessories. Use the outer four holes per your
installation.
3. Place the AtlasLink surface mount template on the desired mounting location. (Note:
Center hole aligns with antenna's center for measurements.)
4. Use a center punch to mark the hole centers.
5. Drill the mounting holes with a drill bit appropriate for the surface. Suggested imperial
drill bit size is 11/64” (close fit) or 6/32” (free fit). Suggested metric drill bit size is drill
wire gauge size 17 (close fit, ~4.4mm) or 16 (free fit, ~4.5mm).
6. Use four machine screws (no. 8-32) to attach AtlasLink to the surface mount adapter
before securing the complete unit to the intended area.
7. Place AtlasLink surface mount over the mounting holes and insert the mounting screws
through the bottom of the mounting surface into AtlasLink surface mount adapter.

Hand tighten only. Damage resulting from over-tightening is not


covered by the warranty.

Pole Mount
The center thread on the bottom of AtlasLink is 1.” The mounting assembly included with AtlasLink
includes an 5/8” adapter compatible with common survey poles. Simply thread the riser/pole into
the antenna until snug.

Hand tighten only. Damage resulting from over-tightening is not covered by the
warranty.

AtlasLink User Guide 8 PN 875-0352-D Rev A4


Chapter 2: Installing AtlasLink

Powering AtlasLink
Power Considerations
AtlasLink accepts an input voltage of 7-32 VDC. For best performance use a clean and continuous
power supply. When applying 12 VDC, AtlasLink will draws approximately
4.9 W.

Note: Korea: 12 VDC input voltage is required.

Connecting to a Power Source


AtlasLink uses a single cable for power and data input/output.

Note: A power/data cable is not supplied with AtlasLink but is available as an accessory item. See
Table 1-1 on page 4 for a list of accessory items. 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 AtlasLink:
• Connect AtlasLink to a 12 VDC source. 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.

AtlasLink features reverse polarity protection to prevent excessive damage if the power leads are
accidentally reversed. With the application of power, AtlasLink automatically proceeds through an
internal startup sequence; however, it is ready to communicate immediately.

Chapter 2: Installing AtlasLink

Configuration – Logging
The Logging Configuration page can be accessed from the “Logging” subheading of the main menu
under “Configuration”. This page can be used to configure the AtlasLink smart antenna’s built-in
data-logging support.
You can set a prefix for the log filename, a start and stop time (in UTC) for the logging session, a
duration after which to split the log file, and the list of messages that will be logged. Be sure to select
the “enabled” check box before saving settings, to ensure logging is enabled. If you later uncheck
“enabled” and click “Save Changes” it will pause the logging session. More details are described
below.

The “Start” and “Stop” options define a time logging will not start until, and a time after which
logging will automatically stop. Like noted above, these times are in UTC. If “Now” is checked, then
the time in the “Start” text box will be ignored and logging will begin immediately. If “Forever” is
checked, the time in the “Stop” text box will be ignored and logging will not automatically end.
Note, the logging will only begin at the specified time if the “Enabled” check box is first checked.
The “File Splitting” option allows you to specify duration after which a new log file should be
started. Note that the duration is always relative to when each file was opened, so file splits are
not relative to any specific time system. Also note that no logged messages are missed when
switching log files, and when ephemeris logging is enabled, every file will begin with the most recent
ephemeris data.
The GGA logging option specifies whether $GPGGA messages will be logged, and at what rate.
The Position/Velocity option specifies whether the binary messages for position and velocity will
be logged, and at what rate.

AtlasLink User Guide 27 PN 875-0352-D Rev A4


Chapter 2: Installing AtlasLink

The Observations option specifies whether the binary messages for observations will be logged, and
at what rate.
The Ephemeris option specifies whether satellite ephemeris binary messages are logged.
The Corrections option specifies whether messages containing correction information (i.e. Atlas,
RTK, SBAS) will be logged.
The “High Speed” option activates special diagnostic log messages and should not be used unless
instructed to by Hemisphere support.
The “Athena Log” option activates a pre-set combination of logging options which are recommended
for providing diagnostic information to Hemisphere. A rate of 1Hz is normally suitable.

WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND TO LICENSEE, WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL
REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND INCLUDING FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE,
MERCHANTABILITY, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY OR THAT THE USE OF THE SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE AND
HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS ARISING AS A RESULT OF CUSTOM, USAGE OR TRADE
AND THOSE ARISING UNDER STATUTE.
11. LIMITS ON WARRANTY DISCLAIMER. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or conditions, so some of
the above exclusions may not apply to Licensee. In that case, any implied warranties or conditions which would then otherwise arise
will be limited in duration to ninety (90) days from the date of the license of the Software or the purchase of the Product. The
warranties given herein give Licensee specific legal rights and Licensee may have other rights which may vary from jurisdiction to
jurisdiction.
12. CHANGE TO WARRANTY. No employee or agent of Hemisphere is authorized to change the warranty provided or the limitation or
disclaimer of warranty provisions. All such changes will only be effective if pursuant to a separate agreement signed by senior officers
of the respective parties.
13. WARRANTY CLAIM. In the event Licensee has a warranty claim Licensee must first check for and install all Updates that are made
available. The warranty will not otherwise be honored. Proof of purchase may be required. Hemisphere does not honor claims
asserted after the end of the Warranty Period.
14. LICENSEE REMEDIES. In all cases which involve a failure of the Software to conform in any material respect to the documentation during

15. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. IN NO EVENT WILL HEMISPHERE BE LIABLE TO LICENSEE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL
OR INDIRECT DAMAGES INCLUDING ARISING IN RELATION TO ANY LOSS OF DATA, INCOME, REVENUE, GOODWILL OR ANTICIPATED
SAVINGS EVEN IF HEMISPHERE HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGE. FURTHER, IN NO EVENT WILL
HEMISPHERE'S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY HEREUNDER, FROM ALL CAUSES OF ACTION OF ANY KIND, EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT
PAID BY LICENSEE TO HEMISPHERE TO PURCHASE THE PRODUCT. THIS LIMITATION AND EXCLUSION APPLIES IRRESPECTIVE OF THE
CAUSE OF ACTION, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO BREACH OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, TORT, BREACH OF
WARRANTY, MISREPRESENTATION OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY AND WILL SURVIVE A FUNDAMENTAL BREACH.
16. LIMITS ON LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Some jurisdictions do not allow for the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or
consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to Licensee and Licensee may also have other legal rights
which may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
17. BASIS OF BARGAIN. Licensee agrees and acknowledges that Hemisphere has set its prices and the parties have entered into this
Agreement in reliance on the limited warranties, warranty disclaimers and limitations of liability set forth herein, that the same reflect
an agreed-to allocation of risk between the parties (including the risk that a remedy may fail of its essential purpose and cause
consequential loss), and that the same forms an essential basis of the bargain between the parties. Licensee agrees and
acknowledges that Hemisphere would not have been able to sell the Product at the amount charged on an economic basis without
such limitations.

Licensee shall promptly notify Hemisphere of any such action, claim, demand, or proceeding, and (c) Licensee shall give Hemisphere
such reasonable assistance and tangible material as is reasonably available to Licensee for the defense of the action, claim, demand
or proceeding. Licensee shall not settle or compromise any of same for which Hemisphere has agreed to assume responsibility
without Hemisphere's prior written consent. Licensee may, at its sole cost and expense, retain separate counsel from the counsel
utilized or retained by Hemisphere.
19. INFRINGEMENT. If use of the Software may be enjoined due to a claim of infringement by a third party then, at its sole discretion and
expense, Hemisphere may do one of the following: (a) negotiate a license or other agreement so that the Product is no longer subject
to such a potential claim, (b) modify the Product so that it becomes non- infringing, provided such modification can be accomplished
without materially affecting the performance and functionality of the Product, (c) replace the Software, or the Product, with non-
infringing software, or product, of equal or better performance and quality, or (d) if none of the foregoing can be done on a
commercially reasonable basis, terminate this license and Licensee shall stop using the Product and Hemisphere shall refund the price
paid by Licensee less an amount on account of amortization, calculated on a straight-line basis over a deemed useful life of three (3)
years.
The foregoing sets out the entire liability of Hemisphere and the sole obligations of Hemisphere to Licensee in respect of any
claim that the Software or its use infringes any third party rights.
20. INDEMNIFICATION. Except in relation to an infringement action, Licensee shall indemnify and hold Hemisphere harmless from any
and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable fees of lawyers and other professionals) arising
out of or in connection with Licensee's use of the Product, whether direct or indirect, including without limiting the foregoing, loss of
data, loss of profit or business interruption.
21. TERMINATION. Licensee may terminate this Agreement at any time without cause. Hemisphere may terminate this Agreement on 30
