1.2Setting up as a Post-Processing Base
Use |
The equipment setups described following are to be used for static operations over |
|
markers. |
Description |
|
The instrument can be programmed with the CS field controller before use which can |
|
|
then be omitted from the setup. |
)• GNSS antenna/GS12 instrument/GS15 instrument is mounted directly using screw fitting. If using stub and adapter, procedures can vary slightly.
•When using the adapter and carrier, ensure that the GNSS antenna/GS12 instrument/GS15 instrument and the adapter assembly slide down the full length of the carrier stub. An incorrectly mounted GNSS antenna/GS12 instrument/GS15 instrument will have a direct effect on the results.
•GNSS antennas are AS05 or AS10. Procedures/setup can vary if AR10, AR25 or AT504 GG is used.
)If the instrument is left in the container during use in high temperatures, the lid should be left open. Refer to the GS10/GS15 User Manual for operating and storage temperatures.
)Use an external battery such as GEB171 to ensure operation for a full day.

1.3Setting up as a Real-Time Base
Use |
The equipment setups described following are to be used for real-time base stations |
|
with the need of optimal radio coverage. Raw observation data can also be collected |
|
for post-processing. |
Description |
|
The GS10 instrument clips to the tripod leg. Connections are made to the GNSS and |
|
|
radio antenna. The radio antenna is mounted on the antenna arm which clips to the |
|
GNSS antenna. The GS10/GS15 instrument can be programmed with the CS field |
|
controller before use which can then be omitted from the setup. |
|
The GS10 instrument can be used as a DGPS base station, if fitted with the DGPS |
|
option, and as a real-time base station. |
|
The connection between GS15 and CS field controller is made via Bluetooth. |
)• GNSS antenna/GS15 instrument is mounted directly using screw fitting. If using stub and adapter, procedures can vary slightly.
•When using the adapter and carrier, ensure that the GNSS antenna and the adapter assembly slide down the full length of the carrier stub. An incorrectly mounted GNSS antenna will have a direct effect on the results.

•Standard radio is used throughout the instructions. Digital cellular phones can also be used but the setup can differ slightly.
•GNSS antennas are AS05 or AS10. Procedures/setup can vary if AR10, AR25 or AT504 GG is used.
)If the instrument is left in the container during use in high temperatures, the lid should be left open. Refer to the GS10/GS15 User Manual for operating and storage temperatures.

1.4Setting up as a Real-Time Rover
Use |
The equipment setups described following are to be used for real-time rover with |
|
extended periods of use in the field. |
Description |
|
The radio attaches to the GS10 instrument and is placed in the backpack. Connec- |
|
|
tions are made to the GNSS antenna, radio antenna and CS field controller. The |
|
cables coming from the backpack can be disconnected when an obstacle such as a |
|
fence has to be crossed. |
|
The CS field controller is fixed to the pole with the GHT62. Connection between the |
|
GS12/GS15 instrument and the CS field controller is made via Bluetooth. |
)• GNSS antenna/GS12 instrument/GS15 instrument is mounted directly using screw fitting. If using stub and adapter, procedures can vary slightly.
•When using the pole with stub, ensure that the GNSS antenna/GS12 instrument/GS15 instrument and the screw-to-stub adapter slide down the full length of the stub before tightening the locking ring. An incorrectly mounted GNSS antenna/GS12 instrument/GS15 instrument will have a direct effect on the results.
•Aluminium poles are used. They can be replaced with their carbon fibre equivalent without any change to these instructions.
•Standard radio is used throughout the instructions. Digital cellular phones can also be used but the setup can differ slightly.
•GNSS antennas are AS05 or AS10. Procedures/setup can vary if AR10, AR25 or AT504 GG is used.
