Preface
The GSA Unit is an integrated computer system in a ruggedized transportable carrying case. It
contains a comprehensive power storage and management system, a laptop computer (with its
own power management capabilities), a printer, and a page scanner. Software is included to
operate and integrate all of this equipment as well as several models of digital camera.
This document describes the features of the GSA Unit and addresses the operation,
troubleshooting, and correction of commonly encountered situations. Because each of the
installed software packages contains many options for individual situations, specific technical
questions should be referred to the included technical manuals.

Component Overview
The GSA Unit consists of two cases:
•The “A” case (Figure 1) may contain the laptop computer, the printer, the
scanner, the camera, the power inverter, a STU-III and internally mounted
batteries and power management systems. This case contains the most
frequently used components of the GSA UNIT and will probably be the most
used.
Figure 1 "A" Case
•The “B” case (Figure 2) is a soft case that contains the various telephone and
power adapters, and a small tool kit. The A/C adapters for the various
components of the system (i.e. computer, printer, etc.) may be carried in this
case. This case should be deployed with the GSA Unit.

Case Power Sources
The GSA Unit can operate from a variety of power sources: external A/C power, external D/C
power, and from internal batteries. When connecting to or disconnecting from an external
power source, you may hear a click from inside the case. This is caused by relays within the
unit and is normal.
CAUTION:THE EQUIPMENT COVERS INSIDE THE GSA UNIT
SHOULD NOT BE OPENED! Hazardous voltages may be present at any time
and there are no field serviceable components inside.
CAUTION: Most power sources and components come with a panel or label
stating their power ranges. If these ranges are exceeded, then there is a very
strong potential to cause irreparable damage to the case and/or component
causing it to malfunction or not to work at all. Therefore do not push these
sources beyond their designated power ranges.

External A/C Power
The Alternating Current (A/C) connection to the GSA Unit accepts input voltages from 90 to
250 VAC at 50 to 60 Hz, as stated on the External A/C Power panel. Depending on the
components in use, the state of the various batteries in the system, and the current operating
conditions, the system will draw up to one ampere from the source. The system has circuitry
to ensure overloads do not cause damage to the GSA Unit or to the installed components. The
system also contains protection against heat by monitoring the temperature inside the case to
ensure it does not exceed 170 degrees Fahrenheit.
NOTE: When the case exceeds 170 degrees Fahrenheit, the case will shut
itself down. After the case has cooled down, the case will be able to be
turned back on. This downtime depends on how hot the case was when it
finally turned itself off.
A/C electrical power is supplied to the GSA Unit through a standard, three-wire power plug
connected at the back panel of the case (as shown in Figure 3). Connect the other end of the
power cord to a three-prong power source. Using appropriate adapters, the GSA Unit may be
connected to a wide variety of sources. Since it will accept a wide variation in input voltages
and frequency, as described above, the GSA Unit can be safely connected to standard A/C
power sources throughout most of the world. Nonetheless, precautions must be taken to
ensure the power connections are correct. In particular, the GSA Unit is not certified for
direct connection to US military aircraft since power is usually generated at 400 Hz
unless indicated on Input Power Panel.
Figure 3 External A/C Power Input
The GSA Unit contains circuitry that will automatically reset after an overload, but if the
system fails and does not come back up after approximately 10 minutes, the unit must be
considered in a non-recoverable condition and should be returned to the factory for repair.
