GPS IMU ASSEMBLY Typical Network Configuration for VanLink GPS IMU Mounting Considerations In order for the GPS IMU to continually provide accurate heading information a few considerations need to be made when mounting the assembly on the roof of the vehicle The GPS IMU assembly must be mounted as far away from any significant sources of current such as flood lights or motors as possible because it is sensitive to EMI generated by these types of devices e t s recommended that it be installed at least 24 from the pan tilt device so as not to be affected by the EMI generated by the DC motors GPS IMU can be mounted either on the mast using a bracket or on the roof of the van in an area least likely to be affected by EMI lf itis mounted on the mast six 6 additional wires will be needed to be run through the NYCOIL GPS IMU ASSEMBLY GPS IMU Mounting Considerations If the GPS IMU see Figure 2 4 is to provide continuously accurate heading information a few mounting considerations need to be made when the assembly is to be installed onto the roof of the vehicle The GPS IMU assembly must be mounted as far away from any significant sources of electrical current as possible such as flood lights or motors because its sensitivity to the EMI generated by these types of devices It is recommended that the GPS IMU be installed at least 24 from the pan tilt device so it will not to be affected by the EMI ge
