ST 6100 terminals are integrated IsatData Pro communications terminals manufactured by ORBCOMM.

ORBCOMM distributes the terminals through Solution Providers who activate the terminal on the IsatData Pro

network. The terminals are available with side or bottom connectors.

This guide provides information required for a successful, reliable installation of the terminal on a vehicle, boat or

other platform. This guide does not address the terminal’s commissioning procedures as these procedures vary

depending upon the Solution Provider and their specific application.

Required Tools

Installation of the terminal requires the following tools:

•Drill and 5.5 mm drill bit

•30 mm diameter hole punch or hole saw (bottom connector version only)

•Screwdriver

•Socket wrench set

Required Materials

Installing a terminal requires the following recommended materials. These materials do not ship with the

terminal because they differ for each installation.

•Qty 4 - M4 (8-32) 18-8 stainless steel screws (length depends on mounting surface thickness)

•Qty 4 - M4 (8-32) nuts with 18-8 stainless steel flat and lock washers

•Waterproof sealing tape

•Dielectric grease

•Qty 1 - Custom cable provided by your Solution Provider

•Mating connector kit (ST100030-001)

Cable

The Solution Provider may provide a custom cable to connect to the terminal. Contact your Solution Provider if

you did not receive a cable.

Record the Mobile ID

Each terminal has a unique serial number, termed a mobile ID, used by ORBCOMM to register it on the IsatData

Pro network. This is a 15-digit alphanumeric identifier in the format "NNNNNNNNSKYXXXX" The mobile ID is

located on the bottom of the terminal and on the shipping box. Record this number before the terminal is

mounted. You need it later for commissioning the terminal on the network.

Installation Steps

CAUTION Most users install the terminals on a vehicle. It is very important for installers to

install the terminals in a safe and secure way to avoid danger or damage to

persons or property.

Select the Mounting Location

•Mount the terminal where it has a clear view of the sky/satellite. For a mobile installation, this means that

it is preferable to install at the highest point on the vehicle or vessel where it has a clear view of the sky in

all directions.

ST 6100 Terminal Installation Guide

R9015 Version 03 2 © ORBCOMM®Proprietary

•Mount the terminal on a flat surface for mobile installations such that the elevation angle does not

change with rotation.

Note: For fixed installations and maximum antenna gain, point the terminal’s LED in the direction of the

satellite, and then rotate it 45 degrees clockwise.

Figure 1 Recommended Direction for Maximum Antenna Gain

•Mount the terminal so that the terminal’s line-of-sight with the sky is clear of obstructions.

•Fasten the terminal securely so that it is not loose and does not move easily.

•Mount the terminal on a solid, stable surface. If necessary, use a mounting bracket (not supplied) or other

suitable support.

•Ensure that any paint above the terminal is non-metallic and non-metallic flake, if the installation is under

fiberglass or composite wind fairings.

•Check that the terminal's cable reaches the power source before you drill any mounting holes.

•Mount the terminal on the driver's side of the vehicle, if possible, when there is a possibility of strikes by

overhanging tree branches.

•Mount the terminal on a flat surface that is parallel to the ground but visible to the sky, for proper

operation of the internal accelerometer. Record the position of the top surface (ORBCOMM logo) and

connector face relative to the ground and the front or side of the vehicle as if you were sitting in the

driver’s seat. This information is used later to set up the accelerometer service.

Example: If the terminal is mounted horizontally on the vehicle roof such that the ORBCOMM logo is

facing up and the cables are exiting towards the back of the driver, then record “top facing up and

connectors facing back”.

Refer to the latest version of [T405] IsatData Pro Service API Ref for more details.

•Mount the terminal on a surface that does not get hotter than the maximum operating temperature

(+85°C). If the surface may get hotter, mount the terminal with a thermal barrier between it and the

mounting surface.

CAUTION Mount the terminal at least 20 cm (8 in.) away from humans.

•DO NOT mount the terminal close to other electrical equipment due to possible radiated and/or

conducted electromagnetic interference.

•DO NOT mount the terminal close to radar or other communications antennas. Use the following

guidelines:

> 1 m from VHF/UHF antenna

> 3 m from loop antenna

> 4 m from MF/HF antenna

> 5 m from other satellite antennas

Not within a radar beam

•DO NOT mount the terminal where water may build-up or collect.

•DO NOT mount the terminal close to an exhaust pipe due to the excessive heat and the potential for the

exhaust pipe causing satellite blockage.

R9015 Version 03 3 © ORBCOMM®Proprietary

•DO NOT mount the terminal close to air horns or any tractor roof hardware (for example, emergency

lights) that could interfere with satellite communications.

•DO NOT install the terminal inside the truck under the roof liner.

Install the Terminal

Once you have selected the mounting location, mount the terminal. Select either bottom connector mounting

(Figure 2) or the side connector mounting (Figure 3) depending on the terminal’s connector type.

The duplicate mobile ID labels, shipped with the terminal, can be placed on the asset where the terminal is

mounted and/or on any customer paperwork. For outdoor applications these labels should be protected by

applying the clear overlays provided.

In some cases, the Solution Provider may provide a mounting bracket with the terminal. In this case, the

following instructions are not required. Refer to the instructions with the mounting bracket.

1) Use the drill template (Figure 8) to mark the location of the four mounting holes and the connector hole

(if bottom connector). The orientation of the terminal with a bottom connector is not important.

2) Fill the ribbed channel around the connector (Figure 4) with waterproof sealing compound (bottom

connector only). You can also apply waterproof sealing compound to the drilled mounting holes before

inserting the screws.

3) Secure the terminal in place with the mounting hardware using the screwdriver and socket set.

CAUTION Do not over-tighten.

4) Cut off one end of the tube of dielectric grease. Adding the dielectric grease makes sure that there is a

watertight seal.Figure 4 Terminal Connector

5) Insert the tube into the male end of the mating connector and

squeeze the dielectric grease into the mating connecter opening

(Figure 4) until it is full. Some dielectric grease will spill out.

CAUTION Do not apply pressure to the cable/connector

during the installation.

6) Connect the cable connector to the terminal by aligning the

corresponding connector key slot (Figure 5) and gently squeezing

together.

CAUTION Do not force the connector pins to mate since

this may damage the pins.

7) Tighten the cable connector with hand pressure by rotating the locking collar on the cable connector

clockwise. Do not use a wrench. A tactile click is felt when the collar is properly engaged.

8) Wipe off any extra grease around the connector and wrap the mating connector with waterproof sealing

tape if using the connector in changing weather conditions.

Apply Power

Before connecting the terminal to an external voltage source, ensure that the polarity is correct, and the voltage

source is between 9 and 32 VDC. Refer to the connector pin assignment description. Connect the ground

connection at the same time or before applying power. This is especially true when using the RS-232 lines along

with power and ground.

The terminal has an integral LED to indicate that the terminal has successfully powered on.

The visual indicator (LED) does not indicate satellite status. Its only purpose is to confirm terminal power-on.

Once you apply power, the terminal goes into satellite search mode to acquire the IsatData Pro network. This

activity may take a few minutes to complete. The terminals must complete registration to operate. Once the

terminal synchronizes itself with the network, it sends a registration message to the IsatData Pro network. The

terminal will not register until it has a clear line-of-sight to the satellite. The IsatData Pro network records the

registration message and forwards the registration message to the user’s application. The IsatData Pro network

sends an acknowledgement message over the satellite to the terminal. The terminal is now available to send and

receive messages via satellite.

Remember to indicate the orientation of the terminal’s accelerometer in the terminal firmware.

Cable Assembly Instructions

This section provides the information necessary for the Solution Provider to assemble ST power/interface cables

for the end-user. The mating connector kit (ST100030-001) does not ship with the terminal.

The cable assembly procedures in this section are adequate for most installations. For particularly harsh

environments such as maritime installations, use a cable with molded backfill as described in the Blunt Cut cable

section later in this document. Please contact Customer Support if you need recommendations for a cable

manufacturer.

Note: It is recommended you choose a raw cable with the following properties:

* The terminal accepts input ranges of 9 to 32 VDC. If your application requires extended cable

lengths, it is necessary to calculate the cable voltage drop to determine if the terminal is

receiving at least 9 V (with 1.7 A draw). Large cable voltage drops might adversely affect

terminal operation.

* Cable jacket and internal conductor installation rated for minimum temperature range of -40°C

to 85°C (-40° to +185°F), and UV compliant where exposure to UV is expected.

Note: For reliable operation, shield all cables used for power and data connections to the terminal.

Figure 9 Basic Connector Parts for Soldering Configuration

Required Tools and Materials

The following tools and materials are required to build the cable using this method:

•A cable

appropriate for the terminal’s environment

•A knife

•A wire stripper

•Solder

•A fine-tip soldering iron

•A flexible high temperature silicone sealant for outdoor exposure

Cable Assembly Steps

1) Use a knife to cut and remove the outer jacket of the cable, 20 mm from the end (Figure 10) and remove

any foil shielding.

CAUTION Be careful not to nick the wire insulation.

2) Use a wire stripper to remove 5 mm of insulation from the wires (Figure 10).
