Summary

Introduction

V30 GNSS RTK system adopts modularized design, so as
to enable users to change into different differential
transmission modules according to various requirements.
Those are traditional radio transmission, GPRS and 3G
communication functions. Meanwhile the designed
self-diagnosis function can automatically check the working
status of al l hardware and softw are of the V30 receiver wh ile
working, and arouse the problem part by its intelligent voice
messenger in case of some problem.

Data collection controller can be connected with receiver
mainframe via Bluetooth or cable; built-in high-capacity
battery is suitable for long -time field work; static data can be
stored in the built-in memory card of receiver and downloaded
via USB port to your PC.

Summary

Warning: The receiver must be used and stored

in the specified temperature. More details
please refer to Chapter 7: Technical
Parameters.

To ensure the qual ity of conti nuous track ing sat ellites an d
signals, surveying work should be in open air, while there
should no any obstacle in space above 15° altitude angle; in
order to r edu ce all ki nds o f elect rical int erfer ence t o th e GN SS
satellite signals. Besides, there should not be strong electrical
interference around within about 200m range, such as the
television tower, microwave stations, high voltage
transmission line. Also, in order to avoid or reduce the
occurrence o f multi-path effect, stations should be away from
terrain or geographical objects, which will strong effect
electrical signal, such as high-rise buildings, big pool, etc.

And please note that if use external power supply, must
use the specified external power supply from Hi-Target to
avoid any destroy to the receiver.

Note: usually one V30 lithium battery can last 13

hours for static, 12 hours for RTK while 9
hours for base in UHF work mode with 2

 Radio Channel Setting

For the GM-46Vradio of 455~465MHz or 440~450MHz,

which is co mpatible w ith V9 , there ar e 100 channels for users’
choice; for the GM-46PV radio of 430 ～ 470MHz and
GM-42PV radio of 390MHz～430MHz, which are compatible
with Trimble Leica, there are 32 channels for users’ choice.

There are two methods to set the radio frequency:

1. Long press F2 on the V30 ma i nf rame to set.

2. After connected with controller, using Hi-RTK software

to set.

Note:

1. The channel of rover must be the same as that of

base, only in which case they can cooperate together.

2. Try to use the channel in a good environment with

less interf erence. The b elow way is o ffered for us ers to find
a good channel:

- Firstly don’t set base, just set the rover in one

channel

- Check the data led (the middle led) of the rover. If

the red led flashes, it hints that there are some other
