Connecting to PC/Laptop
Power mode jumper J1
The power core of REV-2000 is 110V AC/ 7.5V
DC adaptor. It converts the 110 AC to DC.
RoyalTek can also provide you 220V AC power
core. Beware of the AC power of your office
and tell RoyalTek’s sales person for preparing
the correct power code for you.
REV-2000 provides 3 power modes on borad,
3.3V and 5V. JP1: Open for +5V, Short for 3.3V.
The 3.3V is for REB-2000/ REB-2100. The 5V
is for REB-12R2.
BOOT jumper
The BOOT jumper is for program upgrade. It
shall be kept open for normal operation. When
the BOOT is short, the GPS engine board is

P2 DGPS RTCM-104 port
waiting for program upgrade and output
nothing when running SiRF demo program.
Please refer the program upgrade session for
program update.
DC input
The power input can be DC input instead of
using AC power core. The input range of the
DC input is from 6.5V ~ 12V. We suggest
you use +7.5V as the DC input.
Reset

Please connect it to PC or Laptop RS-232
port.
P2
This is DGPS input port.
CON12
This is the socket for REB-2000/REB-2100.
Please refer the hardware interface section
for the pin assignment.
CON20
This is the socket for REB-12R2. Please
refer the hardware interface section for the
pin assignment.
(1) Plug the REB-12R2 on the CON20
(2) Plug the active antenna into the external
antenna connector. The suitable view
angle of the active antenna is necessary.
Caution: Please do not put any metal
stuff on the antenna.
(3) Connecting the RS-232 cable between
