1. Introduction
1.1. Overview
SR-86 Manual V1.1
Product Introduction
SR-86 series GPS modules incorporates high sensitivity, high performance SiRF
StarⅢ chipset solution in a compact design. The module tracks up to 20 satellites
at a time while offering fast time-to-first-fix and 1Hz navigation update. The unit
is very suitable for broad applications such as Handheld, PDA, PPC or other battery
operated navigation system.
Main Features
■ High sensitivity SiRF StarⅢ chipset.
■ High performance receiver tracks up to 20 satellites.
■ TTL output for GPS command interface.
■ Low power consumption.
■ Average Cold Start time under 42 seconds.
■ On-chip 1Mb SRAM.
■ Reacquisition time 0.1 second.
■ Support accurate 1PPS output signal aligned with GPS timing.
■ Support Standard NMEA-0183 and SiRF Binary protocol.
■ Multi-path mitigation hardware.
■ Compact size S86: 24*24*2.5 mm3; S861: 24*21*2.5 mm3.
■ Easy integration into hand-held devices.
The SR-86 design utilizes the latest surface mount technology and high level circuit
integration to achieve superior performance while minimizing dimension and power
consumption. This hardware capability combined with software intelligence makes
the board easy to be integrated and used in all kinds of navigation applications or
products.
The module communicates with application system via RS232 (TTL
level) with NMEA-0183 protocol.

3. Applications
The SR-86 series engine module is a high performance, ultra low power
consumption, GPS receiver. Applications are as follow:
Car Navigation
Wrist Watch
Solar Operated Device
Marine Navigation
Fleet Management
AVL and Location-Based Services
Radar detector with GPS function
Hand-Held Device for Personal Positioning and Navigation
Ideal for PDA, Pocket PC and Other Computing Devices at GPS Application
4. Operation and Test (optional)
The customers can change the data protocol and communication data baud rate for their
applications using a GPS Viewer software. Installing appropriate viewer program to host
device, you may check the status of the GPS receiver whenever you like to. Following
are standard buttons and operation steps.

SR-86 Manual V1.1
(a) Execute the Viewer program. Press the “COM” button to set “Com Port” for this
data link and “Baud Rate” to 4800.
(b) Click “OPEN” to download the received data. Usually one window shows the
NMEA format data stream and another window shows tracked satellite
constellation and signal quality status.
(c) Once the link is successful, click “CLOSE” button to exit the program. However,
you may click the “Cold” button to perform “cold start” testing.
