Bluetooth-enabled devices (for example, your handheld data
collector), providing a completely cable-free option.
For differential correction transmission flexibility, the
GSR2700 ISX uses either an internal UHF or GSM/GPRS radio. It
also offers the innovative feature of voice messages to indicate
receiver status during field operation.
Surveyors can use the GSR2700 ISX for topographic, stake out,
and control surveys. Excellent acquisition and reacquisition times
mean this receiver continues to excel in environments where
signal obstructions are present and frequent interruptions of
signals can be expected.
The GSR2700 ISX features a rugged design for use in adverse
environments, and it is engineered to provide years of reliable
operation.
You can also use the GSR2700 ISX handheld component (SDR+)

CAUTION
A caution provides information about
possible sources of difficulty or situations
that may damage the product.
CAUTION
If your receiver has an internal radio, always ensure that the
radio antenna is properly connected to your receiver before
turning the unit on.
Never disconnect the radio antenna while the internal radio
is still powered. Disconnecting the antenna while the
receiver is on may cause irreparable damage to the
internal circuitry of your radio, particularly when the radio is
transmitting information.
If travelling with or shipping the GSR2700 ISX by air, ensure
that you remove the tripod or survey pole, or any other
mount component from the socket on the receivers
underside (Figure 5, Receiver Underside View, page 10).
The receiver contains a vent that is designed to equalize
pressure inside the housing. If any component is in the 12
cm (5/8") thread mount socket, air flow to the pressure vent
may be limited or blocked and internal damage could occur
to the receiver.
This receiver incorporates circuitry to absorb most static
discharges. However, severe static shock may cause
inaccurate operation of the unit. Use anti-static precautions
where possible.
This device is a precision instrument. Although it is
designed for rugged operating conditions, it performs best
when handled with care.
When the port covers are closed, the enclosure is sealed to
provide protection against adverse environmental
conditions. To minimize the possibility of damage, always
keep the ports covered except when in use.
The GSR2700 ISX can accept an input supply voltage in the
range of +9 to +18 VDC. Do not operate the receiver
outside the specified voltage range.
Drawing more than the specified maximum current (1 amp
combined total) from the two COM ports will cause an
internal fuse to interrupt the current to prevent damage to
the unit. If this happens, immediately reduce the load and
allow the unit to automatically reset its protection circuitry.
Always use the correct cables with the receiver and handle
them correctly (dont pinch or bend sharply). Failure to do
so will damage the receiver, and void the units warranty.
CAUTION

2.2.2 Communication ports
Using the two communication ports (COM) on the receiver, you
can communicate with accessory devices such as a data collector
or radio. Each COM port also provides a power output for
powering accessory devices (for example, an external UHF
radio).
Typically, the COM1 port is intended for use with a data collector.
The COM2 port is typically intended for use with a radio. You
can also connect your PCs USB port to the COM2 port for high-
speed data transfer from the internal memory.
The GSR2700 ISX can provide power output through the COM1
and COM2 ports for powering accessories. The output voltage
from the COM port is approximately the same as the input to the
unit. For more information about powering peripheral devices,
see Section 6.3, Powering Peripheral Devices, page 50.
2.2.3 Power port
The GSR2700 ISX has one power input port for connecting an

page 14. For more information about power input, see
Section 6.2, Power Source, page 48.
2.3 Cables
To prevent damage to both the GSR2700 ISX and the cables, each
GSR2700 ISX cable connector is keyed to ensure that the cable can
be inserted in only one way. In addition, connectors have a
latching mechanism that requires careful insertion and removal
from ports.
Cables are color coded according to the port to which they
connect. Both the cable and the corresponding port on the
receiver indicate the appropriate color (see Table 5, Port
Descriptions, page 11).
Observe the following guidelines when handling cables:
1. Before inserting the cable, ensure that you are using the right
cable for the port.
2. Check the color coding on the cable and the port to ensure
that they match.
3. Line up the red dot on the cable connector shell with the red
index mark on the port.
4. Insert the connector until it seats with a click. It will then be
locked in place.
To remove a cable, grasp the connector and pull straight out. If
there is a knurled ring, grasp it and pull.

3.2 Gauges
The GSR2700 ISX display panel features four gauges to provide
information about the following:
Battery life and charging status
Satellites currently being tracked (page 24)
Memory available (page 25)
Time indicating the period of continuous data of sufficient
quality for post-processing (page 26)
Each gauge contains five LEDs that illuminate to alert you of the
systems status. During typical operation, only one LED is
illuminated on each gauge at any one time. The level illuminated
indicates the status.
3.2.1 Battery life gauge
The battery life gauge displays the battery life
remaining on the internal batteries. When an external
power source is connected, the detected available
voltage is indicated by a flashing LED. When the
receiver is powered off and is connected to the AC
Adapter, the charging status is indicated.
Table 9 summarizes the values indicated by each LED for
internal/external batteries and charging status.
NOTE The internal battery life is calculated to an accuracy of 10%.
The external battery life is calculated to an accuracy of 0.1
volts.

When the internal batteries have full charge, LED 5 (green) is
illuminated. LED 1 (red) is illuminated when you have less than
one hour of battery power remaining.
When the receiver is off and the internal batteries are charging,
LED 5 flashes. The LED stops flashing when charging is
complete. For more details about external power sources, see
Section 6.2.2, External power source, page 49.
3.2.2 Satellite tracking gauge
The satellite tracking gauge displays the number of
satellites currently being tracked by the receiver. If the
current position of the receiver is fixed, the LED will
flash. The LED will remain solid when the receiver is
operating in rover or static mode.
For a satellite to be counted as used, it must have a
healthy signal and be above the elevation mask, and
the receiver must have achieved lock (both code and
carrier).

Table 10 summarizes the values indicated by the satellite tracking
gauge LEDs.
For the most accurate survey results, perform surveys with a
minimum of six satellites, if possible. LED 1 (red) will be
illuminated if the receiver is using only one, two, or three
satellites, which are insufficient for three-dimensional
positioning applications.
3.2.3 Memory gauge
The memory gauge displays the amount of available
memory. When data is being logged to a file, the
currently illuminated LED flashes.
Table 11 summarizes the values indicated by the
memory gauge LEDs.

When the memory has over 80% space available, LED 5 (green) is
illuminated. LED 1 (red) is illuminated if the memory is almost
full. When LED 1 is illuminated, you should consider deleting or
downloading files to increase available space.
3.2.4 Timer gauge
The Timer gauge has two modes to indicate quality and
quantity of data collected for successful static data
post-processing:
Baseline LengthThe gauge will indicate occupation
by baseline length. The LEDs will show solid green.
Elapsed TimeThe gauge will indicate elapsed time
since the start of the survey. The LEDs will flash.
NOTE The Timer mode can be selected using the Timer LED field in
the GSR2700 IS/ISX Config Tool software. For more
information, see Section 1.6, Finding More Information, page 8.
3.2.4.1 Baseline length mode
When this gauge is configured to display receiver occupation by
baseline length, the LEDs will display in solid green to show the
length of the baseline that can be accurately post-processed given
the amount of raw data that has been collected (see Table 12).
If you havent collected enough data to process a baseline of 5
kilometers, none of the LED indicators will be illuminated.
NOTE Table 12, Timer Gauge - Baseline Length Mode, page 27
provides estimates only. Performance of the indicator depends
on quality GNSS data being observed at other receivers (no
obstructions, same satellites, low multipath, etc.). If you are
uncertain about the quality of the data collected, log data for a
longer period of time.

3.3 Status Indicators
The GSR2700 ISX display panel features status indicators on the
panel that provide the following information:
Receiver health (page 28)
COM port communication status (page 30)
Wireless communication status (page 31)
Internal radio status (page 32)
3.3.1 Receiver health LED
The receiver health LED indicator is above the power
button and displays the current status of the receiver.
TIP It is normal for the receiver health indicator LEDs to illuminate
during startup. Under normal operation, neither LED is
illuminated.
The particular combination of flashes indicates a specific warning
or error condition (for example, the receiver is being operated
outside its temperature range).
When there is a warning or error condition, the LEDs illuminate
in a sequence of six flashes:
If both the yellow and the red LEDs flash first, it is a warning
condition.
If only the red LED flashes first, it is an error condition.
The following tables (Table 14 to Table 16) show the error/
warning code sequences for issues that you may be able to
identify and correct in the field. If other code sequences flash on
the receiver health indicator, contact your SOKKIA distributor for
steps on how to proceed.
If you see one of the three sequences shown in Table 14, then the
receiver is operating near or outside of the valid temperature
range. Wait a few minutes for the receiver to cool down, then
resume operation.
If you see one of the two sequences shown in Table 15, then the
receiver is operating near or outside of the valid voltage range.
Ensure the internal batteries are charged or check your external
power source.
If you see the sequence shown in Table 16, then the receiver
firmware has not been loaded with a valid authorization code.
Contact your SOKKIA distributor with your receiver serial
number to obtain the code.
If an error condition persists, take the following steps:
1. Turn the receiver off for a few minutes.
2. Perform a factory reset (see Table 8, Power Button Functions,
page 21).

3. If the error condition still persists, check to see if the receiver
is too hot. If necessary, let it cool down and then perform
another factory reset.
4. If the error condition is not resolved, contact your local
SOKKIA distributor.
TIP To assist in identifying the problem, make note of the sequence
of flashes as you troubleshoot and provide this information to
your SOKKIA distributor.
3.3.2 COM port communication status
The COM port communication status indicators
display the status of communication traffic flow
across the receivers COM1 and COM2 ports.
The LEDs flash to indicate signal sent/received on the respective
port. Table 17 describes each of the COM port communication
status LEDs.
If data is simultaneously being transmitted and received, both the
transmit and receive LED indicators will be illuminated.

System Setup
Setting up the GSR2700 ISX is a straightforward process, whether
you are in the field (collecting data) or at the office (configuring
the receiver or transferring collected data to your PC for post-
processing). This chapter summarizes typical receiver operations,
as well as system setup for both the office and field operations.
5.1 Operation Overview
The following list outlines the general sequence of operations
when using the GSR2700 ISX receiver:
1. Supply power to the GSR2700 ISX, using charged internal
batteries or a connection to an external power supply.
2. Press the power button. The receiver will turn on, acquire
and track satellites, and issue a Receiver Ready message
(or matching sound) once it completes the initialization.
Typically, the GSR2700 ISX will then operate based on the
Factory POWERUP option selected for the receiver.
NOTE The receiver comes with five default POWERUP configurations,
and a None setting. These settings can be selected using the
GSR2700 IS/ISX Config Tool software (for more information,
see Chapter 1, Finding More Information, page 8 and
Chapter 7, Collecting Data, page 53).
3. If you plan to use the GSR2700 ISX to configure the receiver
or to control the survey, connect a data collector. (A data
collector is not always necessary; for example, if you are
using the receiver as an RTK base or in a static survey).

CAUTION
To avoid damaging the receiver, make sure
both the receiver and the radio are off
before you connect the devices.
Check the COM2 LED status indicator: the LED will glow
green (see Table 17, COM Ports Communication Status
LEDs, page 30).
Using the POWERUP method described above, your RTK
base is now ready for use.
NOTE If you choose instead to use SDR+ (or other data collector
software) to configure your RTK Base Setup, please refer to the
SDR+ User's Guide.
5.3.3 Typical static setup
To set up the GSR2700 ISX for static surveys, the receiver should
be loaded with the appropriate POWERUP configuration (see
Table 25, POWERUP Configurations, page 56). The receiver is
typically mounted on a tripod.
The system is operated using the power button and can be
powered by the internal batteries or by an external battery.

To perform a static survey:
1. Turn on the receiver. The receiver will initialize and issue a
Receiver Ready message (or matching sound) when it
completes (see Table 20, Audible Annunciator Conditions,
page 34).
2. Use the receivers display panel LEDs to monitor the survey,
for example, to verify that data is being recorded to file,
ensure the memory gauge is flashing (see Table 11, Memory
Gauge Indicators, page 25).
To verify the receivers occupation status or to verify that you
have collected enough data to get a fixed position on the
baseline, check the Timer gauge (see Section 3.2.4, Timer

Powering the
GSR2700 ISX
This chapter describes how to power your GSR2700 ISX.
NOTE Before using the GSR2700 ISX for the first time, ensure that
you have followed the setup instructions in Chapter 5, System
Setup, page 37.
6.1 Turning the System On and Off
While the GSR2700 ISXs power button is used primarily to
switch the receiver on or off, the receiver will also automatically
turn on if it detects activity on either of the communication ports.
If you turn off the GSR2700 ISX while it is logging data to the
memory, the receiver will save and close any open files before
turning off.
NOTE For information about power consumption while the receiver is
off, see Section 6.4, Power Consumption, page 50. For
additional power button functions, see Section 3.1, Power
Button, page 20.
6.2 Power Source
You can power the GSR2700 ISX either by using its internal
batteries or by attaching an external power source to the system.
6.2.1 Internal batteries
The GSR2700 ISX incorporates two internal battery packs. If the
internal batteries are completely discharged, the GSR2700 ISX
can operate if an external power input is connected.
For information about charging the batteries, see Section 6.6,
Charging the Internal Batteries, page 52.
Powering the GSR2700 ISX Chapter 6
6.2.2 External power source
In addition to using the internal batteries, the GSR2700 ISX can
also be powered using an external battery according to the
recommendations in this section.
NOTE If you want to power your receiver while driving a vehicle, use a
DC to AC inverter that meets the input specifications as detailed
in Appendix A, Technical Specifications, page 60.
For the receiver to operate with an external power source, the
minimum operating voltage for the external power input cannot
be less than the minimum GSR2700 ISX operating voltage.
When an external power source is present, the GSR2700 ISX uses
it before drawing on the internal batteries, provided that the
power from the external source is greater than that of the internal
batteries.
If the voltage delivered from the external power source is less
than the internal battery power, the internal batteries will be used
until they are drawn to the same level as the external source.
Once the internal and external batteries are discharged to the
same level, the receiver will draw equally from both sources.
When the receiver is on and connected to an external power
source that provides 1418 VDC (including the AC Adapter), the
internal batteries will be charged while the receiver is operating.
CAUTION
If the external power input exceeds 18 VDC,
it may damage the receiver. For detailed
information about the GSR2700 ISX
operating voltage, see Appendix A,
Technical Specifications, page 60.
Chapter 6 Powering the GSR2700 ISX
6.3 Powering Peripheral Devices
The GSR2700 ISX is capable of providing power to peripheral
devices through its COM ports. The power output is
approximately the same as the input of the active battery.
NOTE Typically, the COM ports are not sent power. For example, since
most data collectors do not have a power pin, COM1 would not
usually provide power.
If the peripheral devices attached to the GSR2700 ISX draw too
much power from the battery output, the receiver will limit the
available current to prevent damage to the receiver. Once the
excessive load is removed, normal operation of the system will
resume.
NOTE If a peripheral device (for example, a high-powered radio) was
the cause of the current drain, it will probably not function after
the system resumes normal operation.
If you use the SOKKIA-recommended data collector and radio,
you will not overload your system. System overload can only
occur if you attach peripherals that have not been approved for
use with the GSR2700 ISX.
6.4 Power Consumption
The GSR2700 ISX has been designed to minimize its power
usage. Power consumption is less than 5 W using the internal
radio.
When the receiver is off, it continues to draw a small amount of
power from the batteries. However, the typical shelf life of the
internal GSR2700 ISX batteries is approximately six months.
After this storage period, the batteries may become fully
discharged. If this happens, recharge the batteries to resume
operation (see Section 6.6, Charging the Internal Batteries, page 52).
Powering the GSR2700 ISX Chapter 6
6.5 Insufficient Power
If both of the internal batteries or the external power input
voltage are below minimum operating parameters (in other
words, if the GSR2700 ISX experiences drained batteries or power
failure), the receiver will turn off and become inactive. If this
happens, you will not be able to turn the receiver back on until
you restore sufficient power.
In the event of a power failure, the power output is de-activated
on both COM ports and the receiver will not power on even if the
power button is pressed.
To return to normal operation, charge the internal batteries or
connect a valid external power input to the receiver.
When sufficient power is restored, the COM ports will provide
power according to what the POWERUP configuration specifies,
and the system will turn on if the power button is pressed (for
details about the POWERUP configuration, see Section 7.2.2.1,
Defining receiver behavior with POWERUP, page 54). If a
POWERUP configuration isnt set on the receiver, the COM ports
will provide power as they did before the power failure.
Power failure while logging data
In case of a power failure while logging data, the receiver will
save the data to internal memory and close the file. If this occurs,
up to 10 seconds of data may be lost from the file.
CAUTION
The GSR2700 ISX may also become
inactive if the external power input is greater
than the power specified as acceptable for
the receiver. For more information, see
Section 1.5, Usage Cautions, page 6.
Chapter 6 Powering the GSR2700 ISX
6.6 Charging the Internal Batteries
When the batteries require charging, turn off the receiver and
connect the AC Adapter.
While the receiver is charging, LED 5 (green) on the battery life
gauge flashes (see Section 3.2.1, Battery life gauge, page 23). The
LED stops flashing when charging is complete.
CAUTION
The supplied AC Adapter is designed
specifically for charging the
GSR2700 ISX. DO NOT use any other
charger with the GSR2700 ISX.
DO NOT use the AC Adapter outdoors
for field operations with the
GSR2700 ISX.
The internal batteries should be serviced
by your local SOKKIA distributor. DO
NOT attempt to service the batteries
yourself; doing so will void the product
warranty.
Chapter 7
Collecting Data
You can collect data with the GSR2700 ISX in several ways and
define the type of information stored during data collection.
7.1 How Data is Stored
The most basic activity you will perform using your GSR2700 ISX
is collecting raw data, which are recorded as time-tagged
measurements in your raw data file. Each collection session (one
uninterrupted period of time) is stored in a single, unique data
file in memory. Only one file is open and recorded to at a time.
A file of collected data can then be transferred to a PC for post-
processing and adjustment using SOKKIAs Spectrum Survey
Suite or Planning software.
For information about how data files are named, see Section 7.3,
Data File Naming, page 57.
7.2 Data Collection Methods
Typically, the GSR2700 ISX will begin tracking satellites, as soon
as the receiver is turned on and it successfully completes its
initialization. The receiver will operate based on its default
POWERUP configuration until you use it otherwise (e.g., you
connect it to a data collector).
You will typically use the GSR2700 ISX receiver to collect data
using either of two methods: with a handheld data controller, or
by using the POWERUP configuration on the receiver and
recording the data to internal memory (for example and ideally,
as a base station).
7.2.1 Handheld data collection
When you use the GSR2700 ISX receiver with a handheld data
controller loaded with data collection software (e.g., SDR+), you
can configure and initiate data collection through the handheld.
Chapter 7 Collecting Data
NOTE The SDR+ software can only store RTK data on the data
collector. Raw data is always stored in the receivers internal
memory.
When you connect the data controller to the receiver (using either
a wireless connection or a cable), you establish a communication
link between the two devices and the controller will control the
behavior of the receiver.
When you turn on the GSR2700 ISX, the receiver will use its
preset POWERUP configuration until the controller takes control.
Commands sent to the receiver through the data collector will
supersede the POWERUP configuration on the receiver. The
receiver will use the POWERUP configuration again when you
turn the receiver off and then back on again.
NOTE For details about establishing a Bluetooth connection between
the receiver and an Allegro CX, see Appendix B, Allegro CX
Bluetooth Connections, page 66. For details about collecting
data with software on the handheld, refer to the software
documentation (e.g., the SDR+ Users Guide).
7.2.2 Receiver logging to internal memory with
POWERUP
When you use the GSR2700 ISX without a handheld data
controller, the receiver will typically use the preset POWERUP
configuration that is loaded on the receiver.
7.2.2.1 Defining receiver behavior with POWERUP
You can define what type of information should be collected or
transmitted as RTK corrections by using POWERUP Configuration
Manager software, which lets you customize and transfer a
POWERUP configuration to the GSR2700 ISX.
NOTE You can also work with POWERUP configurations in SOKKIAs
Planning software. The GSR2700 ISX does not support the use
of schedules.
Collecting Data Chapter 7
A receivers POWERUP configuration is a set of parameters that
tells the receiver what type of information should be stored
during a data collection session or transmitted as RTK
corrections. The POWERUP configuration executes on startup,
provided it is present on the receiver.
The POWERUP configuration tells the receiver:
What type of data to collect (for example, observations,
ephemeris, almanac).
Where the data should be stored (for example, in internal
memory, or transmitted through COM1 or COM2).
The interval at which data should be collected (for example,
every 10 seconds).
The reference coordinates if the receiver is used as an RTK
base (none, fixed, or averaged).
The antenna height.
The elevation mask.
The site name and number (optional).
The COM port baud rates.
The wireless communication power settings.
7.2.2.2 Default POWERUP configuration
The GSR2700 ISX initially operates on a default POWERUP
configuration, which is always present on the receiver unless you
remove it using the POWERUP Configuration Manager.
Your receiver is typically preset with one of five possible default
POWERUP configurations. Table 25, POWERUP Configurations,
page 56, summarizes the factory setup for each configuration.
NOTE To set the default POWERUP configuration, you can use the
GSR2700 IS Config Tool software. To view the POWERUP
configuration settings or to create custom configurations, you
can use the POWERUP Configuration Manager software
(advanced users only). For more information, see Section 1.6,
Finding More Information, page 8.

7.2.2.3 Transferring a POWERUP configuration
Using the POWERUP Configuration Manager software, you can
create a custom POWERUP configuration and transfer it to the
receiver. You can also edit or delete the receivers current
configuration.
NOTE Only one POWERUP configuration can reside on the receiver
at one time. When you transfer a POWERUP configuration to
the GSR2700 ISX, it replaces the existing configuration on the
receiver.
When you reset the receiver back to factory defaults, any
POWERUP configuration you have transferred to the receiver is
discarded, and the POWERUP configuration reverts to the
factory default settings (see Section 7.5, Resetting the Receiver,
page 59).
7.3 Data File Naming
Auto-generated file names consist of an eight-character base
followed by a .PDC extension, as follows:
####$$$%.PDC
Peripheral Power
Send power to data
collector COM1
No No No No No
Send power to
external radio
COM2

The eight characters are derived as shown in Table 26.
For example, a GSR2700 ISX receiver might have the serial
number NZH05410087. If the day is January 25 (025 UTC day of
the year), and this is the 15th session created that day (session ID
E), the file name would be 0087025E.PDC.
A conflict between an auto-generated file name and an existing
file name is unlikely, but if it occurs, the GSR2700 ISX resolves it
by creating a file name as follows: the first character is a tilde (~),
followed by a 7-digit random number and a .PDC extension (for
example, ~9368412.PDC).
7.4 Data Storage Capacity
Table 27 indicates the approximate number of hours of data
logging to the internal memory for several recording intervals
based on the standard 64 MB internal memory.
NOTE For information about how to download data from internal
memory, see Section 5.2, Setting Up at the Office, page 38.

7.5 Resetting the Receiver
Pressing the power button for between 10-20 seconds restores the
default factory POWERUP configuration (see Section 3.1, Power
Button, page 20). The receiver will audibly indicate that a reset
has occurred (see Chapter 4, Audible Annunciator, page 34).
NOTE Data files on the receiver are not affected by a reset.
7.6 Erasing Files Stored on the Receiver
Pressing the power button for between 20-25 seconds deletes all
the files from the receivers memory (see Section 3.1, Power
Button, page 20). The receiver will audibly indicate that the files
have been deleted (see Chapter 4, Audible Annunciator,
page 34).

Configuring Satel
Radios
This appendix describes how to configure the Satel Satelline
3ASd or Epic radios to use as external radios with the
GSR2700 ISX receiver.
C.1 About the 3ASd and Epic Radios
The Satel Satelline 3ASd and Epic radios are very similar in
operation. The 3ASD radio is capable of 1 watt output, which
makes it ideal for rover applications. The Epic radio, which can
be configured at 10 watt output, is usually used as a base radio to
achieve longer-distance transmission.
Figure 15: Satel Radios
Both radios feature an LCD display and keypad buttons that you
can use to easily change the units internal settings, including
modifying the active frequencies.
Both radios provide a TNC connector on the top of the unit, to
which an antenna can be directly connected. Both radios also
provide an RS-232 serial port on the bottom of the unit, to use for
communication with the receiver.

3ASd radio
Configuring Satel Radios Appendix C
C.2 Radio Cables
The Epic and 3ASd radios connect to the GSR2700 ISX using a
cable connection.
The Epic radio uses a Y cable with a LEMO connector and an
SAE power connector at the receiver end. This allows you to
power the radio from an external power source, so you dont
need to be concerned about draining the receivers internal
batteries. However, you can also use the cable to draw power
from the receivers COM2 port.
The 3ASd radio cable is very similar to the Epic radio cable, but
instead of using a Y cable with an attached external SAE power
connector, the device is completely powered from the receivers
supply voltage.
NOTE See Section 6.3, Powering Peripheral Devices, page 50, for
more information about using the receivers internal batteries to
power an external radio.
Both cables use the same 15-pin connector to attach to the radio.
The connector can be locked down to the radio with screws. The
other end of the cable is a locking LEMO connector that is keyed
to insert into the COM2 port only in a way that will not damage
the pins.
NOTE For detailed information about connecting external radios, see
Chapter 5, System Setup, page 37.

C.5 Turning On Error Correction
You can turn on error correction (also known as FEC or forward
error correction) to improve the reliability of data transfer,
particularly in unfavorable conditions.
TIP If you turn on error correction for one radio, you must also turn it
on for all other units you want to communicate with. If you do
not, the radios will not be able to communicate.
NOTE POINT, Inc. recommends that you always enable error
corrections on your radio(s).
To turn on the radios error correction:
the > cursor on Additional, then press the Select button .
4. The > cursor is on Error corr. Select Change by pressing the
Select button . This toggles the setting between ON and
OFF.
5. When ON is displayed, press the Cancel/Back button to
go back to the Setup main menu.
button .
C.6 Using a Radio as a Repeater
A repeater is a radio that is configured to receive data (RX) on a
given frequency and then send the same data out (TX) on the
same frequency. This achieves much longer ranges for the RTK
baseline as a whole.
Appendix C Configuring Satel Radios
Sample scenario:
You are using an RTK base station with a Satel Epic 10 watt radio.
You are able to get a 7 km baseline to your rover, which is using a
Satel 3ASd 1 watt radio.
To achieve a longer range, configure a third Satel radio as a
repeater at a remote location near your 7 km mark. The repeater
will rebroadcast the data and can extend your baseline to
approximately 10 km or more.
NOTE This repeater setup does not need to be connected to a
receiver. The only additional accessories you will require are a
power source (12V battery), a Y cable, and a tripod (or some
type of mounting system).
To configure the radio as a repeater:
the > cursor on Additional, then press the Select button .
4. Press the Down button to place the > cursor on Repeater.
5. Select Change by pressing the Select button . This toggles
the setting between ON and OFF.
6. When ON is displayed, press the Cancel/Back button to
go back to the Setup main menu.

A
AmbiguityThe unknown integer number of cycles of the
reconstructed carrier phase. The carrier phase ambiguity is inherent
in an unbroken set of measurements from a single satellite pass at a
single receiver. Also known as integer ambiguity and integer bias.
AntennaThe antenna is the component of a GNSS system that
collects the analog signal from the GNSS satellite and sends this
signal to the GNSS receiver for processing.
B
Base stationIn differential positioning, a base station is the end of
the baseline that is assumed known and its position fixed. It is the
GNSS receiver, which is acting as the stationary reference. It has a
known position and transmits messages for the rover receiver, which
uses the information to calculate its position. Sometimes referred to
as a reference station.
BluetoothWireless personal area network (PAN) standard that
permits data connections between electronic devices such as desktop
computers, wireless phones, electronic organizers, and printers in the
2.4 GHz range. Bluetooth depends on mobile devices being equipped
with a chip for sending and receiving information.
C
C/A CodeThe Coarse Acquisition (or Clear Access) code
modulated onto the GPS L1 signal.
Carrier phaseThe phase of either the L1 or L2 carrier of a GPS

DGPSDifferential GPS. A technique to improve GNSS accuracy. It
primarily uses pseudorange errors at a known location to improve
the measurements made by other GNSS receivers within the same
general geographic area.
DOPDilution of Precision. The geometry of the visible satellites is
an important factor in achieving high quality results. The geometry
changes with time due to the relative motion of the satellites. An
accuracy measure for the geometry is the DOP factor.
DatumA model of the Earth used for geodetic calculations.
E
Elevation mask angleAn adjustable feature in GNSS receivers
that specifies a satellite must be at least a specified number of degrees
above the horizon before the receiver uses the signals from that
satellite. Satellites at low elevation angles (five degrees or less) have
lower signal strengths and are prone to loss of lock and multipath.
EllipsoidA smooth mathematical surface that represents the
Earths shape and closely approximates the geoid. It is used as a
reference surface for geodetic surveys.
Ellipsoidal heightThe height above a defined ellipsoid,
approximating the surface of the Earth.

receiver to calculate precise GNSS satellite positions and velocities.
The ephemeris is used in the determination of the position solution
and is updated periodically. Available as broadcast ephemeris or as
post-processed precise ephemeris.

G
GLONASS(GLObal NAvigation Satellite System-GLObalnaya
NAvigatsionnaya Sputnikovaya Sistema) A satellite-based radio
navigation system launched in 1982 and run by the Russian Ministry
of Defense. Similar to the global positioning system (GPS) in the U.S.,
GLONASS permits 3D positioning anywhere on earth; however,
typically it is used as an augmentation alongside the GPS system. The
current GLONASS constellation includes less than 20 satellites, each
traveling in a circular orbit, 19,140 kilometers above the Earth, in
three circular planes. The satellites are positioned so that four are
observable nearly 100 percent of the time from any point on Earth.
GNSSGlobal Navigation Satellite Systems. The collective of
current and proposed satellite navigation systems, including GPS,
GLONASS, and Galileo.
GPRSGeneral Packet Radio Service. Technology that allows
mobile phones to be used for sending and receiving data over an

GPSGlobal Positioning System. A radio navigation system owned
and operated by the United States Department of Defense consisting
of 24 GPS satellites in orbit at 20,200 km (10,600 miles) above the
earth. GPS signals are freely accessible for civil applications allowing
land, sea, and airborne users to determine their exact location,
velocity, and time 24 hours a day, in all weather conditions, anywhere
in the world. The satellites are spaced in six orbital planes so that
from any point on earth, four satellites will be above the horizon
allowing any GPS receiver to "triangulates" its own position by
getting bearings from three of the four satellites. The result is
provided in the form of a geographic position - longitude and
latitude - with varying accuracies depending on the GPS positioning
mode.
GPS TimeThe time system upon which GPS is based. GPS time is
an atomic time system and is related to International Atomic Time in
the following manner: International Atomic Time (IAT) = GPS +
19.000 sec. The IAT and Universal Time Coordinated (UTC) are
closely related. The difference is that UTC contains leap seconds to
adjust for changes in the Earths rotation. See UTC.
Glossary
GSMGlobal System for Mobile Communications. A digital cellular
phone technology based on TDMA. First introduced in 1991, the GSM
standard has been deployed at three different frequency bands: 900
MHz, 1800 MHz, and 1900 MHz. GSM uses narrowband TDMA,
which allows eight simultaneous calls on the same radio frequency.
I
Integer ambiguity/biasSee Ambiguity.
Integrated DopplerSee Carrier phase.
IonosphereThe layers of ionized air in the atmosphere extending
from 70 kilometers to 700 kilometers and higher. Depending on
frequency, the ionosphere can either block radio signals completely or
change the propagation speed. GPS/GNSS signals penetrate the
ionosphere but are delayed. This delay induces error in the GPS/
GNSS measurements that can result in poor survey results. Most
GPS/GNSS receivers and processing software model the ionosphere
to minimize its affects. Also, the effects of ionosphere can be nearly
eliminated by using dual frequency receivers which can calculate the
delay due to ionosphere.
L
L1The 1575.42 MHz GPS carrier frequency, which contains the
coarse acquisition (C/A) code, as well as encrypted P-code and
navigation messages used by commercial GPS receivers.
L2A secondary GPS carrier (at 1227.60 MHz) that presently
contains only the encrypted P-code. A C/A code will be available on
the L2 frequency in the future.
L-BandThe range of radio frequencies that includes the GPS L1
and L2 carrier frequencies and the OmniSTAR satellite signals.
M
Mask angleSee Elevation mask angle.
Glossary
MultipathThe reception of a satellite signal both along a direct path
and along one or more reflected paths. Reflecting surfaces near the
GNSS antenna cause this type of reflected signal. The resulting signal
results in an incorrect measurement and thus errors in position
estimates.
N
NMEANational Marine Electronics Association, an organization
that created industry standard ASCII log types used by many
receivers.
O
Occupation timeA period of continuous data of sufficient quality
for post-processing.
P
P-Code (Precise or Protected)The protected or precise code used
on both LI and L2 GPS frequencies.
Phase CenterThe phase center of a GNSS antenna is the physical
location on the antenna where the raw GNSS signals are observed.
This is the physical location where the computed position will be
determined.
PseudorangeThe calculated range from the GNSS receiver to the
satellite. It is determined by taking the difference between the
measured satellite transmit time and the receiver time of
measurement, and multiplying it by the speed of light.

for differential positioning.
RTKReal-time Kinematic. A type of differential positioning based
on observations of carrier phase.
Raw dataGPS data which has not been processed or differentially
corrected.
Reference stationSee Base station.
Rover receiverThe GNSS receiver that moves from site to site
during an RTK survey. The receiver does not know its position and
needs to receive measurements from a base station to calculate
differential GNSS positions at each point.
S
SBASSatellite-Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS): Networks of
ground relay stations set up around the world and geostatic satellites
designed to receive satellite navigation signals and transmit corrected
time and distance measurements to other satellite networks like GPS

SIM cardSubscriber Identify Module card. A small printed circuit
board that must be inserted in any GSM-based mobile phone when
signing on as a subscriber. It contains subscriber details, security
information, and memory for a personal directory of numbers. The
SIM card also stores data that identifies the caller to the network
service provider.
T
TNCA threaded version of the Bayonet Neill-Concelman (BNC)
connector.
TTFFTime-To-First-Fix. The actual time required by a GNSS
receiver to achieve a single point position solution. This specification
varies with the operating state of the receiver, the length of time since
the last position fix, the location of the last fix, and the specific
receiver design.
Glossary
U
USBUniversal Serial Bus. An external peripheral interface
standard for communication that supports data transfer rates of up to
480 Mbps.
UTCUniversal Time Coordinated. The time as maintained by the
U.S. Naval Observatory. Due to variations in the Earth's rotation, the
UTC is sometimes adjusted by an integer second. The accumulation
of these adjustments compared to GPS time, which runs
continuously, caused a 13 second offset between GPS time and UTC
at the start of 1999. However, after accounting for leap seconds and
using adjustments contained in the navigation message, GPS time
can be related to UTC to within 20 nanoseconds or better.
W
WGS84The World Geodetic System 1984 is a geocentric coordinate
system designed to fit the shape of the Earth. It is often used as a
reference on a worldwide basis, while other coordinate systems are
used locally to provide a better fit to the Earth in a local region.
