Connect the LD5 making connections as shown;
Example below for an LD5 A3.
Navigate to LBand/Config/Beam Selection. Highlight the Beam required and press
Accept () and then press Accept ().
To confirm beam selection, navigate to LBand/Status/Device Status to display details;
Cables & adaptors supplied
AC power lead & PSU
RJ45 female - female crossover
module (option with Verify QC)
When a valid beam is selected the Home screen “S” symbol is green.
Plug in LD5 power at rear and wait until unit has initialized.
RJ45 Ethernet cable
Enable for Veripos Corrections
You will need to contact the Veripos Helpdesk to request an Access Code quoting your
User Code, Access count and Service Access Licence (SAL) number.
Download a Service Notification Form from http://help.veripos.com and use this when
contacting the Veripos Helpdesk for an access enable. Provide details requested and
the type of Service(s) you require, e.g. Veripos Standard, Apex.

Configuration of each installed receiver card is done using the Arrows, Home Return
and Accept () buttons on the control pad on right hand side of the LD5 front Panel.
If you need to power cycle the LD5, please wait 30 seconds after power down before
restoring power to ensure correct operation.

For the LD5 to provide a differential position and RTCM outputs, it must be locked to a
valid communications satellite for the current vessel work area.
When the LD5 is enabled the Home screen “E” symbol is green (as shown above).
Connecting serial data outputs from the LD5 (LD5 Mode Position Output)
First if required, place the LD5 in LD5 Mode (Config/Config and under Operating
Mode, Apply LD5).
Select the messages to be output. Go to GNSS/Config/NMEAa and select the required
messages to be output(highlight On and then press Accept (), when finished move to
Apply and press Accept ()). Note the Right and Left on – screen arrows for viewing
further message options.
Position data is output from the LD5 on up to three DB9 female serial ports COM1 - 3.

LD5 COM ports
Default configuration for each COM port is: 1 start bit, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit
Serial Data output - Defaults (A3 Variant Example)
This information may be required when interfacing to ships systems using
RS-232/422 standards. The LD5 is the transmitting device.

Configure Verify QC for Client Sockets with the following ports;
N.B. LAN ports – LD5 default static IP address = 192.168.2.5
LD5 LAN Port mapping
Verify QC LAN output (Recommended)
First ensure the LD5 is in QC Mode (Config / Config and under Operating Mode
Apply QC).

Use an RJ45 crossover LAN connection to interface the PC to the LD5.
Verify QC Serial Port output (recommended settings)
Use LD5 with Verify Orion DP software on a PC
LD5 needs to be in LD5 mode and then linked to PC using RJ45 (Ethernet) cable and
with a static IP address (see earlier section).
When using Orion on the PC, on the Configuration page enter the IP address of the
LD5. Orion uses GGA, ZDA, GST, GSV VTG and GSA from the NMEAa output data
steam of the LD5.
To select messages to be output, go to GNSS/Config/NMEAa and select [highlight On
and then press Accept (), when finished move to Apply and press Accept ()] the
required messages to be output. Note the Right and Left on - screen arrows to move to
further message options.
Click on Apply to start Orion. Correct installation will show green radio buttons against
the NMEA message types. See manual to amend NMEA string output from LD5.
LD5 has three serial ports (1 – 3). The default is EIA / RS 232. RS422 may also be
configured via the Config / I/O menu. To have GNSS Raw data available from the LD5,
ensure LD5 is in QC Mode.
Configure LAN working with Verify QC PC (Windows 7/XP)
Use the recommended baud rate & parity settings when using with Verify QC on a PC.
Amend the LD5 to use its static IP address of 192.168.2.5 (default) or similar to suit
network). Enter this in the QC software fields. Click OK to accept
On the PC navigate to Control Panel/Network Connections.
Right click on the Local Area connection and select Properties.
In “This connection uses the following items:” window, scroll and highlight “Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP)” and click Properties.
Select the radio button “Use the following IP address:” and enter e.g. 192.168.2.4
Now enter in the “Default gateway” the IP address of the LD5 LAN port used;
PPP service selection
The unit will need to be enabled for the PPP service (APEX/ULTRA) using the correct
Access code before setting can be used.
Changing the PPP Config settings will re-initisalise a new PPP calculation which will
take time to settle and a PPP position output to be available.
Table shows the hardware variant and any Mod variants of LD5 units.
Ensure that the solution output selected matches with Veripos service(s) you have
enabled on the LD5.
Select PPP settings from GNSS/Config/PPP Config
