ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

The NIT module is secured to the dashboard and connected to the vehicle''s electrical system through the connections illustrated in the diagram below:
1. GSM aerial connector2. Heat exchanger3. GPS aerial connector4. Radio aerial connector5. Telephone/navigation system modules connector6. Centering pin7. Radio A connector8. Radio B connector9. Connector C not used

AUDIO CD PLAYER (BASIC version only)

The module consists of an Audio CD player capable of reading and managing audio type compact discs and playing the musical tracks recorded on them.

CD ROM PLAYER (DE-LUXE version only)

The module consists of a CD ROM player capable of reading and managing both CD ROMS (containing street maps) and audio CDs.The CD ROMs are accepted by the NIT containing information files for the voice messages in the various languages and the map database needed for navigation.The audio CDs, on the other hand are normally CDs available on the market.

GSM MODULE (both versions)

The Dual Band GSM module, structurally connected by a direct connection to the Sim Card reader (which allows recognition of the user SIM phone card) is, basically, an integrated cell phone.There is also preparation for an external microphone (for hands free operation) and an additional telephone handset.Audio operation:There are 2 different inputs for the microphone and 2 different outputs for the speaker

SIM CARD READER (both versions)

The Sim Card reader is desiged for ''large'' type cards.''Small'' Sim Cards can only be used with a special adapator.This adaptor, available directly from the Provider (Omnitel, TIM, Wind, ecc.) together with the Sim or available commercially, is not supplied together with the NIT.

Composition of the module

The module consists of the following sections:

  • Receiver
  • Power audio amplifier
  • Control logic
  • CD interface
  • Outside audio input interface

GYROSCOPE

Angular speed sensor based on a piezoelectric ceramic element.

Technical specifications

GPS MODULE

The GPS module allows the NIT to interface with the GPS to determine the position of the vehicle on the earth''s surface.There must be at least three satellite signals for the module to work properly.

SYSTEM SUPPLY

The events or components which directly or indirectly allow the user to interact the general operating state of the system are:

  • the electrical signal linked to the position (ON or OFF) of the ignition key (+key)
  • the On/Off button in the front panel.
  • the SOS button in the front panel.

System operating states

The operating states of the NIT from the point of view of the supply and general operation are:

  • Off State (off),
  • On State (on),
  • Stand By state (stand by).

Off State

All the Telematic Info Node functions are disabled and the various hardware modules are not supplied.

ON State

In the ON state, the NIT is completely activated, i.e. all the system functions are managed in accordance with the system configuration and the internal modules are operational, as are the internal communication lines.

Stand By State

In this state, the NIT is partially activated, but appears to the user exactly the same as in the OFF state.In this case, the network management and (internal) location modules only remain activated, whilst the following modules are deactivated: Telephone, Radio, Audio, CD and CDC Audio, Voice Recognition, Voice Synthesis and Navigation System.

Switching on

The telematic info node can be activated in two ways:

  • by turning the ignition key to the ON position
  • by using the on/off button in the control panel (even with th ignition switched OFF0
In the first case, if the NIT was switched off, it comes on and finds itself in the ON or STAND BY condition (depending on what the system status was before it was switched off last time).If the system was in the STAND BY condition before it was switched off last time, the user can move to the ON condition after having tuned the ignition key by using the On/Off button.In the second case, the user can switch the system on (or change it from OFF to ON) by pressing the On/Off button or the ''Service Call'' button in this case, however, the PIN no. must be entered in order to be able to use the telephone.

Switching off

The user can switch the system off (either in the ON state or in the STAND BY state) by turning the ignition key OFF.In this case, both the back up data and the system configuration are saved.The switching off is, however, delayed if a phone call or a ''Service Call'' is in progress.In this case, the NIT will switch off automatically when the call is ended by the user (if the call is longer than 20 minutes) or 20 minutes after the key has been removed (if the call is shorter than 20 minutes).If the NIT, on the other hand, was on, with the ignition key switched OFF, using the ON/OFF button or after a ''Service Call'', the system will automatically switch off after the above mentioned time out has elapsed (20 minutes operating without the key) or when the On/Off button is pressed.

Stand By movement (false switching off)

From the ON state it is possible to move the Stand By state (an operation which appears to the user like switching off but in which, in reality, as described previously, the NIT is activated and prevents usage) when the user presses the On/Off button whilst the ignition key is in the ON position.It is possible to exit the Stand By state and return to the ON condition using the On/Off button or by activating the ''Service Call'' button and entering the PIN no. to use the telephone.

SIGNALS AND CAN NETWORK

Since the NIT on the vehicle is not connected to this network, the main information has to be supplied via direct electrical signals.

These signals are:

  • +key signal (ignition key signal - used to switch on the NIT the moment the key is turned ON)
  • reverse gear engaged signal (to identify the direction of travel of the vehicle)
  • milometer signal (to calculate the distance travelled by the vehicle)
  • + lights signal (to modify the brightness of the screen)

LANGUAGES AVAILABLE

The languages available for both the instructions displayed and the navigation voice messages are:

  • French
  • English
  • Italian
  • Portugese (European)
  • Spanish
  • German
The language is selected in the NIT using a special configuration menu.

AUDIO

The possible audio sources are the standard sources (Radio Receiver, CD Audio) whose specifications are described in detail later in the chapter, the PTY31 alarms and Traffice Announcements, seen as separate functions and the sources linked to other modules such as the Telephone, the telephone Ringing and the navigation system Voice Synthesis.
