Lightning conductors

iCON gps 80, Safety Directions

Suggestion for design of a lightning conductor for a GNSS system:

1) On non-metallic structures Protection by air terminals is recommended. An air terminal is a pointed solid or

tubular rod of conducting material with proper mounting and connection to a conductor. The position of four air terminals can be uniformly distributed around the antenna at a distance equal to the height of the air terminal.

The air terminal diameter should be 12 mm for copper or 15 mm for aluminium. The height of the air terminals should be 25 cm to 50 cm. All air terminals should be connected to the down conductors. The diameter of the air terminal should be kept to a minimum to reduce GNSS signal shading.

2) On metallic structures Protection is as described for non-metallic structures, but the air terminals can be

connected directly to the conducting structure without the need for down conductors.

2.1.2 Power Concept

General Use the batteries, chargers and accessories recommended by Leica Geosystems to

ensure the correct functionality of the instrument.

Power options Power for the instrument is to be supplied externally. Up to two external power

supplies can be connected. External power can be supplied by:

• 9 V to 36 V DC power supply (machine or vehicle) via a converter cable supplied by Leica Geosystems.

• GEB371 battery connected via a cable.

• 110 V/240 V AC to 12 V DC power supply unit, supplied by Leica Geosystems.

iCON gps 80 can be powered using the CAN ports as well as the serial port P1. iCON gps 80 can accept different voltages on the CAN and serial ports, for

example one main supply 24 V and one backup supply 12 V. However, the instrument should never be connected with two different CAN input voltages, as this may cause the instrument to power down and can potentially cause damage to the internal electronics.

)

iCON gps 80, Using iCON gps 80

In general, all installation works must be done by a dedicated installation specialist. Please contact the local selling unit or dealer for further information.

The installation information within this User Manual is indicated to increase the operators understanding of the system and its maintaining.

Before installation:

• Please observe the maximum vibration and ambient temperature values indicated in chapter "9 Technical Data".

• Check that all parts needed are delivered. Refer to "2.2 Unpacking the Container" for further information.

• It is strongly recommended that you bench test all components before commencing installation on the actual machine to make sure that all components are fully operational.

Installation location The iCON gps 80 instrument should preferably be installed either inside a compart-

ment just behind the cabin or in the machine cabin itself. If the machine has no space inside a weather proof compartment or cabin, the instrument is to be installed only on components that have no direct connection to the machine tool and/or are positioned separately from the tool or at locations that lie in the safe area of the mechanically moving components. Further, the instrument is to be installed so that it is protected from mechanical influences, for example stoning.

Examples of a correctly placed instrument.

006174_001

)

The product must not be installed on the tool of the machine and/or on mechanical components that move the tool. Tools include for example bucket of excavator, blade of dozer, screed of paver. Mechanical parts include for example boom and stick of an excavator, hydraulic cylinder of a dozer or tow arm of an asphalt paver. Further, the instrument must not be installed near chassis, chain gear, wheels or on engine components connected to the engine itself. The cases stated are intended simply as examples.

iCON gps 80, Using iCON gps 80

Installation direction

Fastening • The iCON gps 80 instrument must have supports beneath all mounting holes and

• For inside assembly, the iCON gps 80 instrument must be installed either vertically with the connectors pointing upwards/downwards or horizontally on a flat plane. Easy access to the keys and a clear view on the display should be guaranteed.

• For outside assembly, it is strongly recommended to install the instrument vertically with the connectors pointing downwards, in case this is not possible horizontally on a flat plane, but never with the connectors pointing upwards.

should be fastened with four M6 bolts (or equivalent).

• The Quick Release Machine Bracket CMB6 is easy to handle and forms a secure mounting option for the instrument. The Quick Release Base Bracket as part of the CMB6 must be installed on the machine, either using the Magnetic Mount or bolted.

)

large current electronic devices on the machine or when different grounds of the machine are isolated in service or welding operations.

Different DC and RF noise may exist at different points in the machine which is out of the control of Leica Geosystems. Such noise may have a negative effect on the satellite tracking performance of the iCON gps 80.

For this reason, it is best that all external antennas connected to the iCON gps 80, including the GNSS antenna(s), radio antenna and modem antenna, are isolated from the machine. This avoids additional ground paths being introduced.

) )

The CMB6 should be be installed in a location that allows easy releasing and simple removing of the iCON gps 80 instrument. Refer to "3.6 Quick Release Machine Bracket CMB6" for further information.

In an ideal installation, with isolated antennas, the connection of the grounding pin on the rear panel of the iCON gps 80 to the machine should not be required.

It is extremely important to disconnect all cables from the iCON gps 80 before starting any welding operations on the machine. Otherwise the instrument may be damaged beyond repair.

iCON gps 80, Using iCON gps 80

Installation of GNSS antennas

For best results, it is recommended to mount the two GNSS antennas according to following guidelines:

• separated as far as possible,

• at approximately the same height,

• with the TNC connectors orientated in approximately the same direction, and

• ensuring an unobstructed view of the sky.

Installation on an excavator:

• Install the two GNSS antennas on the masts in the back of the machine.

• One mast should be placed on each side of the machine. Be aware of heat from the exhaust.

GFU bracket: MMB1250, GFU Bracket on Machine

iCON gps 80, Using iCON gps 80

Installation of antennas for internal/external radios and modems

• External antennas with a magnetic mount can be used and installed on the roof of the cabin.

• This will increase the radio signal and therefore the reception of correction signals from a base station or when using a NTRIP solution.

005942_001

Cable installation • Ensure that the cables between iCON gps 80 and CGA60 antenna in particular are

installed so as to prevent them from becoming bent and stretched.

• It is strongly recommended to use strain relief brackets.

• Route the cable as directly as possible and avoid crossing cables.

• Be sure not to tie the cables into “hot” hydraulic hoses.

)

Connecting the wrong antenna to the wrong connector may cause damage to the antennas. In order to minimise the chance of connecting the incorrect external antenna, the four TNC connectors are colour coded. Cables with corresponding colours are available.

The colour coding is as follows:

3.8 Antenna Heights

3.8.1 Understanding Antenna Heights

Description The height of the GNSS antenna above a point consists of three components:

• the vertical or slope height reading,

• the vertical offset,

• the vertical phase centre offset.

For most operations, pre-configured standard settings in the instrument can be used. They automatically take the vertical phase centre offsets into account.

MRP The antenna accepts vertical height readings to the Mechanical Reference Plane, MRP.

Vertical phase centre variations

) ) )

3.8.2 The Mechanical Reference Plane, MRP

Description The Mechanical Reference Plane:

MRP of the antenna The MRP for the CGA60 antenna is shown in the diagram.

These are handled automatically in the standard antenna records. The antenna calibrations to determine the phase centre variations were executed by Geo++® GmbH.

Pillar setup. For other than the GRT146 carrier, the dimensions must be determined and the vertical offset must be adapted.

Tripod setup. For height measurement devices other than the height hook, the dimensions must be determined and the vertical offset must be adapted.

Mast setup. The dimensions of the mast must be determined.

3.9 Dual GNSS Positioning and Heading

General information When two GNSS antennas are connected to the iCG82 instrument and have a clear

view of the sky, the instrument automatically provides a precise GNSS heading relative to True North.

Mounting of GNSS antennas

Heading Adjustment

)

ORP outputs heading relative to grid north instead of true north when a local grid coordinate system is used. The HDT, VTG, XDR messages will always be relative to true north as defined in NMEA-0183 standard.

The iCG82 uses a Advanced SmartHeading method of calculating the precise position of the secondary GNSS antenna. This means that precise heading output is available even when the instrument is not receiving corrections from a base station.

The antenna connected to port ANT1 is always the primary GNSS antenna while the one on port ANT2 is always the secondary (heading) GNSS antenna.

For best results, it is recommended to mount the two GNSS antennas according to following guidelines:

• separated as far as possible,

• at approximately the same height,

• with the TNC connectors orientated in approximately the same direction, and

• ensuring an unobstructed view of the sky.

Heading output is the azimuth from GNSS Antenna 1 to GNSS Antenna 2. If it is not possible to mount the antennas parallel to the centreline of the vehicle, then the known orientation to the centreline can be entered as a Heading Adjustment.

The Heading Adjustment field offers the opportunity to enter an angle correction in order for the heading to be calculated in the exact direction of the machine.

It is important to note that:

• The Heading is the vector from Antenna 1 to Antenna 2 in degrees clockwise from north rather than clockwise from the vehicle reference frame.

• The Heading Adjustment is always applied from a bird’s eye view perspective.

• A positive Heading Adjustment is applied clockwise from North while a negative Heading Adjustment is applied anti-clockwise from North.

The following picture illustrates that interrelationship.

xRTK is a slightly less accurate RTK position type, typically 5 to 10 cm, automatically providing more availability for phase fixed positions with a reliability of 99%. Recommended when working in heavy canopy environments. For NMEA messages, positions measured with the xRTK mode are flagged as fixed.

– SmartLink is available for all RTK formats and indepen-

dently from the xRTK configuration.

– SmartLink is a correction service delivered via Satellite

to bridge RTK corrections outages for long periods of time, for example 10 minutes. Use SmartLink to work for longer without the consistent usage of the RTK infrastructure.

6.1 Base Setup

6.1.1 Base Setup Description

Setup iCON gps 80 as Base Station

Using the Base Point List

iCON gps 80 can be setup and used as Base Station. Measured Base Points can be recorded in the instrument and a Base Point list can be imported and used for future Base Setups.

There are different options to setup the iCON gps 80 as Base Station:

• Manual Base Setup: – When no Base Setup has been performed and recorded before to the iCON gps

80 and no Base Point List has been imported, it is necessary to perform a manual Base Setup.

– Manual Base Setup is always possible, also with a imported Base Point List or a

previously recorded Base Setup.

• Base Setup using BasePilot: – iCON gps 80 features a tool for automatic Base Setup called BasePilot. – BasePilot is enabled automatically when the iCON gps 80 is powered up on an

existing base point. BasePilot recognises that the instrument is in base mode, is over a known point and automatically loads the previously stored base configuration.

The Base Point List comprises a list of known base points with all corresponding base system configuration data. It is used with the BasePilot functionality for fast automatic base configuration.

)

The Base Point List can be exported, imported and deleted via the Import / Export / Delete submenu. Refer to "6.6 Import, Export, or Delete Data" for

further information.

No stored positions nearby

If no base point in the Base Point List is close to the current instrument position an information message shows up:

There are no existing Base Points nearby!

If this information appears:

• Confirm the message by pressing on Continue.

• Use the Edit or Smart Get here function to set up the base station.

6.1.2 Manual Base Setup

Base Setup The instrument can be manually set up as a stand-alone base station without a

controller. This can be done in three different ways using the Base Setup wizard:

• Smart Get here: Instrument determines position and uses current position as a new base point.

• Edit: Manual input of coordinates to generate a new base point.

• Find nearest: Searches through the Base Point List for a known base point within a radius of 20 m of the current instrument position.

)

The following step-by-step descriptions explain the different options in detail.

7 Coordinate Systems

Description GNSS measured points are always stored based on the global geocentric datum known

as WGS 1984. Most surveys require coordinates in a local grid system. For example, based on a country’s official mapping datum or an arbitrary grid system used in a particular area such as a construction site. To convert the WGS 1984 coordinates into local coordinates a coordinate system must be created. Part of the coordinate system is the transformation used to convert coordinates from the WGS 1984 datum to the local datum.

A coordinate system

• allows the conversion from WGS 1984 geodetic or cartesian coordinates to local grid coordinates and back.

• can be directly received from a reference network.

• can be uploaded from a USB Memory device.

• can be exported to a USB Memory device.

Default coordinate systems

Active coordinate system

Automatic coordinate system (RTCM transformation parameters)

Coordinate system components

)

The default coordinate system is WGS 1984. It cannot be deleted. It is not possible to create a coordinate system called WGS 1984.

Additional default coordinate systems may be available for certain countries.

The active coordinate system is the one selected under Settings > System Configura- tion > Coordinate systems. One coordinate system is always considered as the active coordinate system.

When Via Network is selected under Settings > System Configuration > Coordinate systems, the coordinate system is directly received from the reference network via RTCM correction data.

)

The iCON gps 80 supports the same coordinate system formats as other Leica iCON products including iCON 3D, iCON Office, iCONstruct field software, as well as Leica RedLine and GNSS Leica Viva sensors.

Refer to "6.6 Import, Export, or Delete Data" for information about importing, exporting, or deleting coordinate systems.

Reference networks do not always provide a coordinate system. This will depend on how the network provider has chosen to configure their data streams.

Coordinate systems can be made up of up to three linked files:

• .lok: Localisation file, contains all the needed parameters and settings, for example datum, map projection and local transformation.

• .ccg: Correction grid (Country Specific Coordinate System model). Refer to "CSCS model (*.ccg)" for information about CSCS.

• .grd: Geoid model. Refer to "Geoid model" for further information.

TRFSET.DAT files can also be imported and used on the iCON gps 80.

• TRFSET.DAT: Localisation file, contains all the needed parameters and settings, for example datum, map projection and local transformation.

• .csc: Correction grid (Country Specific Coordinate System model).

• .gem: Geoid model.

)

iCON gps 80, Coordinate Systems

TRFSET.DAT files are read only and cannot be exported in .lok or .xml format.
