 LED Indicator

LED Indicator The A631 uses a single LED that provides system information based on the
color of the LED as follows:
• Blinking Red - Power on
• Blinking Amber - GNSS position available, including RTK float and Atlas
• Blinking Green - RTK-fixed or Atlas-converged position available
• Blinking any color - Receiver operational

If at any time the LED turns to a solid color for an extended

period of time, the receiver has malfunctioned.

 Mounting the A631

Overview This section provides information on where to mount your antenna and the
different mounting options available with the A631.

Selecting the Proper antenna placement is critical to positioning accuracy. To select the
proper antenna proper antenna location:
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.

Mounting The A631 allows for the following mounting options:

options • Surface-mount
• Pole-mount

Step Action
1 Determine the desired location for the A631 (see Selecting the
Proper Antenna Location).
2 Mark the mounting hole centers on the mounting surface.
3 Place the A631 surface mount over the marks to ensure the
planned hole centers align with the true hole centers (adjusting
as necessary).
4 Use a center punch to mark the hole centers.
5 Drill the mounting holes with a 5mm bit appropriate for the
surface.
6 Use four machine screws (no. 8-32) to attach the A631 to the
surface mount adapter before securing the complete unit to the
intended area.
7 Place the A631 surface mount over the mounting holes and
insert the mounting screws through the bottom of the mounting
surface into the A631 surface mount adapter.

draw approximately 1.7 W.

Connecting to a The A631 uses a single cable for power and data input/output.
power source
Note: A power/data cable is not supplied with the A631, but one is
available as an accessory item. See Table 1-1 for a list of accessory items.

Note: 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 A631 connect to a 12 VDC System.

Note: 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.

The A631 features reverse polarity protection to prevent excessive damage

if the power leads are accidentally reversed. With the application of power,
the A631 automatically proceeds through an internal startup sequence;
however, it is ready to communicate immediately.

 Using A631

Overview For your convenience, both the GNSS and differential correction of the
A631 are preconfigured. The receiver will work out-of-the-box, and for
most applications, little user setup is necessary.

When powered for the first time, the A631 will perform a “cold start,”
which involves acquiring the available GNSS satellites in view and the SBAS
differential service.

875-0444-10 A631 GNSS Smart Antenna User Guide Rev A2 Page 33 of 73

 Differential and RTK Operation

Differential The purpose of Differential GNSS (DGNSS) and RTK is to remove the effects
(DGNSS) and of atmospheric errors, timing errors and satellite orbit errors, while
RTK operation enhancing system integrity.

Autonomous positioning capabilities of the A631 will result in positioning

accuracies of 2.5 m 95% of the time.

To improve positioning quality, the A631 can receive DGNSS corrections

over SBAS, L-band corrections with Hemisphere GNSS’ Atlas L-band
technology, or RTK corrections over serial.

For more information on the differential services and the associated

commands refer to the Hemisphere GNSS Technical Reference Manual
(TRM).

875-0444-10 A631 GNSS Smart Antenna User Guide Rev A2 Page 34 of 73

 SBAS Tracking

SBAS tracking SBAS is a standard feature on the A631 and does not require an activation
or subscription code.

The A631 automatically scans and tracks SBAS signals without the need to
tune the receiver.

The A631 features two-channel tracking that provides an enhanced ability

to maintain a lock on an SBAS satellite when more than one satellite is in
view.

This redundant tracking approach results in more consistent tracking of an

SBAS signal in areas where signal blockage of a satellite is possible.

875-0444-10 A631 GNSS Smart Antenna User Guide Rev A2 Page 35 of 73

 Athena RTK

Athena RTK Athena RTK requires the use of two separate receivers: a stationary base
station (primary receiver) that broadcasts corrections over a wireless link to
the rover (secondary receiver).

The A631 can use RTK through Port A or Port B. The receiver uses any RTK
message coming in over a serial port if the RTK message type is included in
the list of available differential sources.

If you do not know which RTK message type is being sent by the base
station, you can include RTCM3, ROX, and CMR. Refer to the HGNSS
Technical Reference Manual (TRM) for a complete list of supported
message types.

Only one differential correction source can be used at a time. If you include
extra differential sources, this will not affect the receiver if those
differential sources are not being received.

After setting the differential source, configure the baud rate of the serial
port receiving the RTK corrections. Ensure that the serial port configuration
of the external device (such as radio or modem) is 8 bits/byte, 1 stop bit, no
parity and no flow control.

Connect the external device to the serial port of the A631. Some cables may
require the use of a gender changer and/or null modem adapter.

 Supported Constellations

Supported The A631 is available in its base form with L1 GPS, G1 GLONASS, E1 Galileo,
constellations B1 BeiDou, and L1 QZSS support.

By adding a multi-frequency activation, the number of available signals

increases, which improves RTK robustness.

 Configuring the A631

Overview You can configure the A631 through the serial port using Hemisphere GNSS
commands. For example, you can select:
• Baud rate
• NMEA data message (To output on the dual serial ports and the update
rate of each message.)

Note: Use the $JSAVE command to save changes you make to the A631’s
configuration for the changes to be present in subsequent power cycles.

For information on Hemisphere GNSS commands refer to the Hemisphere

GNSS Technical Reference Manual (TRM).

Auto-seed Auto-seed allows the end user to shut down their device in a static position
for an extended period of time. If the antenna remains stationary at shut
down, the position status and Atlas convergence will remain in the device
memory and resume upon start-up. This enables the Atlas solution to
regain its accurate position within two minutes of start-up.

Auto-seed provides quick response positioning and enables the customer to

get to work faster and with confidence in the GNSS solution.
