Ignition Accessory yellow is an input which can be used to switch the LeoTRAK from a sleep power mode to normal operation If using batteries this wire also provides a means to trigger the LeoT RAK to wake from sleep if configured as such by connecting this wire to the Vin red wire lf Batteries are not being used and there is not a requirement for sleep mode then this pin may be left open or used as another general input 1 Alarm Loops Brown Green Pink Grey can be programmed as alarm monitoring which then requires that a normally closed switch is used Breaking this loop button going open circuit causes the alarm to be triggered which is then used to perform a programmed task such as sending a position report or an emergency message In alarm monitoring mode the output pin toggles between a high and low state and each transition is monitored on the input pin This provides a more robust means of open or closed loop detection see also Connecting to Monitored Loops page 34 lf Alarm mode is not required then these wires may be used as general inputs outputs which again can be programmed by specific events or actions a GPIO 1 GPIO 2 Blue amp Orange General purpose input or output mode which again can be programmed by specific events or actions This output can be used to directly drive a relay coil connect to the negative side of coil switching GND 0 Analog White Dedicated
8. Implementation The BEAM SSAS implementation is highly configurable and is able to reflect changes in the SSAS Governing Body requirements as they develop The functionality implemented to conform to current SSAS requirements is as follows Ql The SSAS solution provides for up to two monitored alarm loops each of up to 500m in length and able to support in excess of 10 buttons per loop L A test button can be configured separately or the unit may be put into test mode and thereby allow all alarm buttons to be tested end to end Ql The on board intelligence of the SSAS solution allows SP operators to determine the behaviour of the unit on alarm and on reset Full definition of the message construct method of delivery and remote control behaviour can be configured Alert Sequence Pressing one of the alert buttons distributed around the ship vehicle activates the BEAM Alert system The alarm wiring loops are monitored constantly in order to detect breaks An alert will also be triggered if the cable is cut In a normal alert sequence pressing of any one of the alert buttons will trigger the immediate sending of a preformatted alert to the pre defined destinations Multiple destinations are possible either via SMS via short burst data email SBD or via GPRS The delivery methods available depend on the LeoTRAK model variant used and the satellite cellular reception where applicable When an Alarm is raised the unit may be conf
9. Protecting the Antenna from Lightning Antennas mounted in fixed installations can be exposed to lightning strikes in certain geographical and climatic environments It is not possible to protect the LeoTRAK the antenna or surrounding and or connected equipment or structures from damage from a direct lightning strike as with most electronic equipment However incorporating specialized lightning arrestor surge Suppression components into the antenna system should provide additional protection Install this suppressor at either of the following locations L Nearest the point at which the coaxial cable enters a building structure Ql Where the cable first passes close to a grounded structure Make the connections to the suppressor according to the installation instructions supplied by the suppressor manufacturer lf you use antenna cables from an alternate source you must still consider incorporating a device into the antenna cable system to provide protection from lightning strikes and power surges If you are uncertain about selecting an appropriate method for protection against lightning strikes and power surges employ the services of a professional antenna installer Assuring Quality of Iridium Service Iridium is committed to providing users around the world consistent reliable quality voice and data access all day every day The Iridium satellite system is monitored for call performance from numerous locations 24 hours a day 7 days
