SETTING UP YOUR FLEXPAK6
Complete the following steps to connect and power your FlexPak6. Be sure to mount the antenna to a
secure, stable structure with an unobstructed view of the sky.
1. Using a coaxial cable, connect the antenna to the port, which is found on the front face of the
FlexPak6.
2. Connect the USB or COM1 port on the receiver to the USB or serial port on your computer. If you are
using a USB connection, install the USB drivers available from our web site at to www.novatel.com/
support/info/view/firmware-options.
3. Connect the power cable connector to the port. Line up the red mark on the power cable connector
with the red mark on the receiver’s port and insert power cable.
Alternative Power Source
If you use an alternative power source, the 12 V car adapter can be cut off from the power cable. The
exposed wires can then be tied to a 6-36 VDC power supply capable of at least 5 W.
Since the 12 V car adapter on the supplied adapter cable incorporates a 6 A fuse, a user supplied 6 A slow
blow fuse in a suitable holder must be used at the alternate power source to protect both the power supply
and your warranty. The car adapter is not recommended for use if your power source is greater than 12 V.

For an alternative power source:
a) Cut the 12 V car adapter from the power cable.
b) Tie the exposed wires to a 6-36 VDC supply capable of at least 5 W.
c) Use a user supplied 6 A slow blow fuse at the alternate power source to protect the power supply
wiring and your warranty.
4. Plug in the adapter and/or turn on the power supply. The power LED will be red when the FlexPak6 is
properly powered.
NOVATEL CONNECT
Once installed, NovAtel Connect provides a graphical interface to establish communication, control and
monitor the operation of your NovAtel receiver.
Establishing a New Receiver Connection
The first time you open a serial port to communicate with the receiver, complete the following:
1. Launch NovAtel Connect from the Start menu folder specified during the installation process. The
default location is Start | All Programs | NovAtel PC Software | NovAtel Connect.
Be sure to connect the red and orange or green wires to the positive side of supply and connect
the black and brown or white wires to the negative side of supply.
Be aware that the FlexPak6 provides an output voltage on pin 4 of COM2 (POUT). This output
voltage is at the same level as the power source that you use to power the FlexPak6. To ensure
that any equipment you connect to COM2 will not be damaged, refer to the COM2 pinout in the
OEM6 Installation and Operation Guide found on our Web site at www.novatel.com/support/info/
view/gnss-receivers.
The Ethernet ports are safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits only and are suitable for
connection within a building only. Do not connect them to Telephone Network Voltage (TNV)
circuits.
