2. Operational characteristics

2.1 Initialization
Once you insert the battery into the housing, the GPS-6031-X7 is in standby mode and ready to work for
you. When you activate the Bluetooth function in your machine (PDA or PC) and get pairing with PGS-6031-X7,
you may start GPS function. As soon as the initial self-test is complete, the GPS-6031-X7 begins the process of
satellite acquisition and tracking automatically. Under normal circumstances, it takes approximately 90 seconds
to achieve a position fix at the first time, 45 seconds if ephemeris data is known. After a position fix has been
calculated, information about valid position, velocity and time is transmitted over the output channel.

The GPS-6031-X7 utilizes initial data, such as last stored position, date, time and satellite orbital data, to
achieve maximum acquisition performance. If significant inaccuracy exists in the initial data, or the orbital data
is obsolete, it may take more time to achieve a navigation solution. The GPS-6031-X7 Auto-locate feature is
capable of automatically determining a navigation solution without intervention from the host system. However,
acquisition performance can be improved when the host system initializes the GPS-6031-X7 in the following
situation:

1) Moving further than 1,500 kilometers.

2) Failure of data storage due to the inactive internal memory battery.

2.2 Navigation
After the acquisition process is complete, the GPS-6031-X7 sends valid navigation information over output
channels. These data include:

1) Latitude/longitude/altitude
2) Velocity
3) Date/time
4) Error estimates
5) Satellite and receiver status

The GPS-6031-X7 sets the default of auto-searching for real-time differential corrections in RTCM SC-104
standard format, with the message types 1, 5, or 9. It accomplishes the satellite data to generate a differential
(DGPS) solution. The host system, at its option, may also command the GPS-6031-X7 to output a position
whenever a differential solution is available.

A.2 RTCM Received Data

The default communication parameters for DGPS Input are 9600 baud, 8 data bits, stop bit, and no parity.
Position accuracy of less than 5 meters can be achieved with the GPS-6031-X7 by using Differential GPS
(DGPS) real-time pseudo-range correction data in RTCM SC-104 format, with message types 1, 5, or 9. As
using DGPS receiver with different communication parameters, GPS-6031-X7 may decode the data correctly to
generate accurate messages and save them in battery-back SRAM for later computing.

D.1.2 Testing Data

ITEM MEASURING PROCEDURE CRITERIA

1 Appearance Visual and calipers No defect or leakage.
/dimensions Dimension refers to
drawing.
2 Open circuit Within 1 hour after charge as 1C, 4.2V, measure open circuit ≥ 4.15 V
voltage voltage.
3 Discharge Within 1 hour after charge as 1C, 4.2V, discharge until end of Capacity ≥ 1650
capacity(1.0C) discharge voltage at 1C, measure the capacity. mAh
4 Cycle life Recharge: as 1C, 4.2V
Discharge:1C to 3.0 V at 25±3 ºC Capacity ≥
This charge-discharge cycle shall be repeated 400 times and 1320mAh
the discharge capacity≥ 80% of the minimum capacity.
Self- After recharge as 1C, 4.2V, store the testing cells at 25±3 ºC Capacity≥
discharge for 28 days. Then discharge at 0.2 C to 3.0 V, the capacity≥ 1402mAh
85% of minimum capacity.
High- After recharge as 1C, 4.2V, store the testing cells at capacity ≥ 1485
Temperature 60±3 ºC for 4 hours. Then discharge at 1.0 C to 3.0 V, the mAh
Charge capacity≥ 90% of minimum capacity.
retention
8 Low- After charge as 1C, 4.2V, store the testing cells at -20±3 ºC for capacity ≥ 1155
Temperature 4 hours. Then discharge at 0.2 C to 3.0 V, the capacity≥ 70% mAh
Charge of minimum capacity.
retention
9 Leakage After charge as 1C, 4.2V, store the testing cells at -20±3 ºC Weight lost＜40 mg
checking zone for 1 hour then transfer into 60±3 ºC zone for 1 hour.
Repeat this 2- hour cycle 32 times for a total of 64 hours.
10 Drop test Drop the cells from 1.5 m above a concrete floor for 18 times AC impedance
(3 times per face, 6 faces per cell), measure the AC increase
impedance. ≤ 100%

11 Over- After recharge as per 1C, 4.2V, connect the cell to a power
Recharging supply with constant current-constant voltage function. Adjust No fire, no
current to 3A and max voltage to 4.6V. Then recharging with explosion
3A until voltage reaches 4.6V, current decreases to almost 0
A. Stop the test when battery temperature decreases by 10 ºC
from the maximum.
12 Hot box test Preheat the oven to 150℃, place the cell with an attached No fire, no
thermal couple in the oven, monitor the temperature of the cell, explosion
keep for 10 minutes after the cell temperature reaches 150℃.
13 Nail test A stainless steel nail having a diameter of 3mm shall be
punched through the cell until the nail has passed through the
opposite side of the cell. No explosion

D.2 Cautions
1) The best operating performance is between -20 ~ +60 °C. Higher or lower temperature could cause
damage to the battery.

2) Operated with external power supply will not hurt battery life since battery does not discharge. Therefore, it
operating temperature range is -40 ~ +85 °C

3) Recharge the battery for 10 hours before use.
