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.
