Introduction 1
This chapter introduces the GNSS/DGNSS Receiver and gives an overview
of the system and services. It has the following sections:
• Introduction to GNSS and DGNSS
• The GNSS or DGNSS system
• System components
Introduction to GNSS and DGNSS
Overview
A GNSS receiver processes the signals transmitted by the satellites of Global
Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). The GNSS receiver determines the
position, velocity, and precise time by processing the signals broadcast by
GNSS satellites.
Introduction
A DGNSS receiver (Differential GNSS) is an enhancement to a GNSS
receiver. It can utilize a global network of ground-based reference stations
for improved position accuracy. The ground-based reference stations
compare their known fixed positions with the positions calculated from the
received GNSS satellite signals. The differences are transmitted via radio
beacons to the DGNSS Receiver, which can use them to calculate a more
precise position. In order to be able to apply high-quality corrections, the
selected reference station must be near the DGNSS receiver to ensure that
they both observe roughly the same GNSS satellites.

Chapter 1: Introduction
The GNSS or DGNSS system
The GNSS/DGNSS Receiver is available in variants as listed in table 1.
Depending on the antenna used the Receiver will either be a GNSS or a
DGNSS Receiver. Using the SAILOR 6285 GNSS Antenna - Active gives a
GNSS Receiver variant and the SAILOR 6286 DGNSS Antenna - Active gives
a DGNSS Receiver variant.
Both variants can be controlled by the SAILOR 6004 Control Panel. The
Control Panel is connected to the GNSS/DGNSS Receiver through a LAN
connection.
Features
Position calculation with GPS and/or GLONASS satellites.
Reception and use of differential corrections from SBAS, RTCM SC-104
via a serial interface or the integrated radio beacon receiver.
RAIM calculation according to IEC 61108-1. Estimates the calculated

4 System components
The DGNSS Receiver is the main unit in a DGNSS or GNSS position system.
The DGNSS Receiver is always on, provided there is DC power. It has a
connector for the GNSS or DGNSS antenna, a ground connection, springloaded terminals for DC power (12–24 VDC) and a dual LAN connector. The
DGNSS Receiver has spring-loaded terminals for connection to various
inputs and outputs.

This chapter has the following sections:
• To get started
• Position
• Anchor Watch
• Trip Counters
• Settings
• Alert and notification management
• List of alerts
• Multiple receivers
To get started
As soon as DC power is provided the GNSS/DGNSS Receiver is on.
Operation
To switch on the Control Panel push the power button.
Operate the Control Panel by tapping the touch screen. To
switch off the Control Panel push and hold the power button
for 2 seconds and follow the instructions on the screen.
Note
If the remote switch in the Control Panel is wired and it is

relevant status information. This screen has the tabs Overview and
Quality. Lists of GNSS satellites, SBAS satellites, beacons and beacon
messages can be accessed through the icon in the upper right corner. When
no position is calculated or the connection to the GNSS/DGNSS Receiver is
lost, the position information in this screen is frozen and the text color is
changed to yellow.

estimated position accuracy is compared to the RAIM accuracy limit
yielding the RAIM status. The RAIM accuracy limit is shown in parentheses.
You can set the accuracy limit in DGNSS > Settings > Accuracy RAIM.
Status Explanation
Safe The RAIM status is safe. The position accuracy is below the
set accuracy limit.
Caution The RAIM status is caution. There are not enough satellites
available to calculate RAIM.
Unsafe The RAIM status is unsafe. The position accuracy has
exceeded the set accuracy limit.
