Q4000 Technical Data Sheet Document 1135-0902, REV K 6 1 Introduction Overview 1.1The QUAKE Q4000 is a dual mode solution that is ready for global use. The Q4000 is designed to communicate with terrestrial cellular network systems when a cell signal is available, and to slide seamlessly into its back-up mode and communicate with a satellite system when a cell signal is not available. Besides this advanced modem functionality, the Q4000 has additional processing power, memory, and I/Os that allow sophisticated customer applications to run within the modem. Using an integrated power regulator, the Q4000 is designed to operate over a 6-32 volt input range. It has been specifically designed to meet the requirements of vehicular environments and supports communication over a vehicle bus using SAE J1939 standards. These features make the Q4000 an ideal stand-alone solution for a large variety of applications including transportation, oil and gas and heavy equipment markets. The Q4000 can be purchased in many different configurations, ranging from a simple controller that operates with external communication devices, all the way to very complex integrated dual mode solutions. This Data Sheet presents an overview of the Q4000 technology, device specifications, integration guidelines, and basic information on configuring and programming. Additional QUAKE manuals, including the User’s Guide to Q4000/QPRO, P/N 1135-4713, can be accessed on our website or by contacting QUAKE Customer Support at http://QUAKEglobal.com/support/. Control Options 1.2The Q4000 has the option of running in standalone mode or QUAKE Communications Protocol (QCP) mode. In standalone mode, the user’s application resides directly on the modem. QUAKE provides sample applications as part of the Development Kit to help users create, build and run their own custom applications. QCP mode is used to send data via GSM/GPRS, or a single satellite system such as Orbcomm, Iridium, Globalstar or Inmarsat. Customers who use the Q4000 in this mode typically have a processor and the necessary I/O for their specific applications, and use the Q4000 as a modem only, or to add functionality such as additional I/O’s, GPS, etc. QUAKE Communication Protocol (QCP) is used to communicate between the Q4000 and the application.

Q4000 Technical Data Sheet Document 1135-0902, REV K 10 System Overview 2.3 The following System Block Diagram describes the fully loaded functional blocks of the Q4000: Figure 2-3, Q4000 System Block Diagram for Fully Loaded Configuration Input Power 2.4 Internal Power Supply Description 2.4.1The Q4000 contains the required internal regulation and reverse bias/overvoltage protection to meet J1455 specifications for 12VDC and 24VDC systems. DC power of +6VDC to +32VDC is supplied through pins 1 and 2 (BATT+) and pins 3 and 4 (BATT-) of the multi-pin connector. The ground pins are connected directly to the chassis of the Q4000. It is recommended that the power supply feeding the Q4000 be protected with a fast-blow fuse sized appropriately for the expected current draw. Current draw is dependent on the features and options that are installed and operating. See Table 2-2, Q4000 Power Consumption, for typical power consumption. External Power Supply Requirements 2.4.2In order for the modem to boot properly: 1) The supply voltage must be below 1.4 volts for 4 seconds before re-applying the 6 to 32 V. 2) The rise time on the supply voltage must be 10ms maximum, from 0 to 6Vdc.

Q4000 Technical Data Sheet Document 1135-0902, REV K 11 Load Dump Protection 2.4.3To pass the load dump testing requirement of the J1455 specification, there must be a minimum of two 33V diodes placed in parallel between power and ground of the input power supply. Load dump protection is necessary to protect the modem from possible high voltage at startup. With some heavy machinery at startup, the alternator voltage can jump quite high until it is pulled down into regulation. The diodes shown here, placed in parallel between power and ground of the input power supply, act to absorb this energy before it reaches the modem. In Figure 2-4 showing this Load Dump Protection Circuit, we are using two “Littlefuse, Inc.” 5KP33A diodes. Figure 2-4, Load Dump Protection Circuit Typical Power Consumption 2.4.4This section describes the typical power consumptions of each component of the Q4000 modem. Table 2-1, Input Power Limits, is a listing of the required input voltage limits.

Maximum values may be as much as 15% more. All currents shown above are individual contributions and at 25°C ambient. Items with burst or slot in the notes are the peak values. The power consumed by a GPS device remains constant. It will save power to turn off the GPS during power down sequence. It takes about a minute after power on to get a GPS fix. There are no software controllable lines gating power to these devices. The MTS has full flow control for RS-232. You must ensure that whatever it is connected to is not drawing power from it . The use of Orbcomm and Iridium satellite network is not available when modem’s voltage drops below 10.5/7.5 VDC respectively. Relay current is 1A MAX at 25C, .5A MAX at 85C. Power usage depends on customer application. DC Input power to QUAKE Q4000 modems is +6.0V to +32.0VDC. Supplied input voltages outside this range will result in damage to the modem and void the warranty.

The “greater than 1 M Ω” is at DC only. If you try to sample a frequency (not DC) of 160KHz at the input, it will be down in amplitude by half power at the internal ADC input. If you go higher in frequency, the amplitude will be reduced more. This would give a false amplitude reading. This translates to a maximum sample rate of 7 to 8 microseconds. There is a capacitor on the input of the Q4000 for the ADCs. If you place a series resistance in the line with the ADC input, the reduction mentioned above is made worse. If you make that resistance 0 ohms the spec remains at 160KHz. Figure 4-1, Analog Input Circuit 4.1.1.1 Sample Circuits for Appropriate Scaling to 0-3.5V Analog inputs are 12 bits and have a Full Scale (Fscale) reading of 4095.

(SENSOR / ANA 0 OR ANA 1)174 OHMS, 1%, 100mWR Figure 4-4, Sample 24V Sensor Digital Inputs/Outputs 4.1.2The Q4000 has eight general purpose digital CMOS (3.3VDC) level inputs/outputs. The DIO’s are located on pins 33 - 39 of the 40-pin interface connector. The DIO’s may be configured as inputs or outputs, set and cleared and read by software. As seen below in Figure 4-5, Digital Input Circuit, there are no internal pull up or pull down resistors. Figure 4-5, Digital Input Circuit 4.1.2.1 DIO as Input When utilized as an input, a logic level “high” is obtained when the input voltage is greater than 2.2 VDC. It remains in this asserted state until the voltage on the pin falls below .8 Volts where a valid logic level “low” is read. This hysteresis prevents noise on the input pin from causing the input to jitter. 4.1.2.2 DIO as Output When used as an output, the voltage/current provided is dependent on the impedance or load presented on the line. • For voltage use the 10K ohm resistor works against the line impedence (RLINE) and VOUT is as follows: VOUT = 3.5 * RLINE / (10,000+RLINE) • For Current usage the 10K ohm drops voltage across it as the current is increased. The output voltage follows the current draw (ILOAD) as follows: VOUT = 3.5 – (ILOAD * 10,000) 10K1%100PF50V 100PF50V 3.9V ZENERDIGX_IF> 1MMicrocontroller

Q4000 Technical Data Sheet Document 1135-0902, REV K 21 To increase current drive, insert a buffer with high input impedence between the DIGX_IF configured as an output and the load as shown below. A typical buffer might be a 74 series 126 with a part number of 74LVC1G126DBV. This will increase the drive to > +/- 20 milliamps. Figure 4-6, Buffer for DIO as Output 4.1.2.3 Switched Digital Relays There are four digital relays available on Pins 26/28 and 25/27: • Two pins provide switch closure to ground Pins 26 and 28 • Two pins route the supplied input voltage Pins 25 and 27. Two of the inputs can source (pulls to input voltage) and two sink (pulls to ground) at 1A continuous current at ambient temperatures and are de-rated as seen in the chart below. Figure 4-7, Switched Relay Characteristics Warning: Connecting SW_UBATT1 or SW_UBATT2 (pin 27 and 25) directly to ground while the switch is turned “ON” will damage the unit.

This means that the current draw of the Q4000 drops with an increase in the input voltage. QUAKE Global recommends that the Q4000 be connected to a power supply through a 5 Amp fast-blow fuse. DC Input power to QUAKE Q4000 modems is +6.0V to +32.0VDC. Input voltage outside this range will result in damage to the modem and void the warranty. Operation Modes 5.9Transmit: In this mode the unit is sending an outgoing message. It could be from any programmed condition including an alarm, an application event, a scheduled report, or in response to an over-the-air inquiry. The Q4000 may also query the satellite or GPRS network looking for incoming messages. Standby: In this mode the Q4000 is in a constant receive mode. (Depending on the availability of the satellite, the unit will be receiving satellite downlink information or searching for a downlink.) The RF, digital signal processor, and control processor portion of the modem are active in this mode. Data Collection: In this mode the control processor (CP) is active. The Q4000 may be sampling data inputs through the serial port or interacting with other Q4000 subsystems. The CP is used to power on, control and collect data from the RF Subsystem. The CP is active during its interaction with these subsystems, but does not need to stay active while the other subsystems run their tasks Sleep: In this mode the Q4000 is completely shut down. The processors and memories are off. Only the real-time clock (RTC) is running, maintaining GPS time. The Q4000 can be configured to shut down when DTR goes low, or it can be programmed to shut down with software. A normal shutdown sequence includes a data save to Flash consisting of unsent messages, and configuration parameters. A power cycle, external DTR pulse, or RTC alarm will wake up the unit.

Antenna Recommendations 7.2 ORBCOMM When selecting an ORBCOMM antenna, make sure it is a 50 ohm 137-150.05 MHz antenna. Due to the fairly wide frequency range used by ORBCOMM (137 - 150 MHz), and the variety of installation factors and tradeoffs between antenna size, cost, and performance, it is often not practical to achieve a VSWR of below 1.5:1 throughout the 137 - 150 MHz frequency range. See the User’s Guide User’s Guide to Q4000/QPRO, Document #1135-4713 for more details on antennas. GSM/GPRS • Gain must be less than 3dBi. • Must be placed greater than 20cm from a person. If antenna is placed within 20cm of a person, the system integrator needs to assess the final product against SAR regulation. • If the antenna is co-located and transmitting simultaneously with another antenna, additional FCC/IC testing may be required. • Antenna cannot be placed within a metal shield and must be installed with care to avoid any interference with other electronic devices. IRIDIUM Iridium Antennas must be approved by Iridium before being used on the Iridium network. A list of approved antennas can be found on Iridium’s home page at www.iridium.com. When selecting an Iridium antenna, make sure it is a 50 ohm, Gain 3dBi maximum, polarization Right Hand Circular Polarized (RHCP) and VSWR 1.5:1 or better (in both receive and transmit bands) for optimal messaging. Make sure that the Iridium antenna is located so it has an unobstructed view of the sky. The antenna must be placed greater than 20cm from a person. If antenna is placed within 20cm of a person, the system integrator needs to assess the final product against SAR regulation. for obligations) Information classified Confidential - Do not copy (See last page for obligations)
