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.

The CS10 field controller with the GS08 instrument is fixed to the pole with the
GHT62. Connection between the GS08 instrument and the CS10 field controller is
made using Bluetooth.
• GS08 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 GS08 instrument and the screwto-stub adapter slide down the full length of the stub before tightening the
locking ring. An incorrectly mounted GS08 instrument 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.

1.7 Using the Backpack
GS_105
Use The backpack is used for various applications. The applications are:
• Post-processed kinematic, pole and backpack.
• Real-time rover, pole and backpack.
Antenna pole strap
Ensures that the antenna pole does not
sway around and remains as upright as
possible.
Pass the strap around the pole and
fasten using the clip as shown in the
diagram.

The hip belt
• transfers most of the weight from
the shoulders to the hips when
properly adjusted.
• contains velcro attachments
through which cables can be
passed.
Internal net pouch
The internal net pouch is designed for
• carrying an AS05/AS10 antenna
when not in use.
• storing coiled cables.
• carrying a non-standard radio.
• carrying spare batteries.
• carrying sandwiches.

atures
In high temperatures, it is desirable to increase air flow around the instrument.
Therefore the backpack can be kept half or even fully open when in use.
To half open the backpack:
1) Open the backpack halfway.
2) Tuck the flap inside.
3) Secure it with the velcro pad.
To open the backpack completely:
1) Open the backpack completely.
2) Secure it with the velcro pad.
3) Tuck the flap under the instrument.
