10 Safety Directions
Lightning conductors
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.

3.1 Guidelines for Correct Results with GNSS Surveys
Undisturbed satellite
signal reception
Successful GNSS measurements require undisturbed satellite signal reception,
especially at the instrument which serves as a base. For kinematic use, be sure
to select measurement positions with best satellite reception possible. Use the
instrument in location which is free of obstructions such as trees, buildings or
mountains for best measurement results.
Centred instrument
Centre the instrument precisely over the target positions.
3.2 Batteries
3.2.1 Operating Principles
First-time Use/Charging Batteries
•
The battery must be charged before using it for the first time because it is
delivered with an energy content as low as possible.
•
The permissible temperature range for charging is from 0 °C to +40 °C/
+32 °F to +104 °F. For optimal charging, we recommend charging the batteries at a low ambient temperature of +10 °C to +20 °C/+50 °F to +68 °F
if possible.
•
It is normal for the battery to become warm during charging. Using the
chargers recommended by Leica Geosystems, it is not possible to charge
the battery once the temperature is too high.
•
For new batteries or batteries that have been stored for a long time
(> three months), it is effectual to make only one charge/discharge cycle.
•
For Li-Ion batteries, a single discharging and charging cycle is sufficient. We
recommend carrying out the process when the battery capacity indicated
on the charger or on a Leica Geosystems product deviates significantly
from the actual battery capacity available.
Operation / Discharging
•
The batteries can be operated from −20 °C to +55 °C/−4 °F to +131 °F.
•
Low operating temperatures reduce the capacity that can be drawn; high
operating temperatures reduce the service life of the battery.

3.4 Connection with Leica Zeno GIS Software
Description
Principle of
Zeno Connect
The GG04 plus is fully supported from:
•
Zeno Field V3.6 onwards
•
Zeno Mobile V2.0 onwards
•
Zeno Connect V3.0 onwards
Consult the corresponding documentation for detailed help with software
installation and instructions. Here only the basic idea behind and the connection to Zeno Connect on third-party devices is explained.
☞
Zeno Connect is the configuration software for your Leica GG04 plus smart
antenna. With Zeno Connect the highly accurate position achievable with the
GG04 plus antenna can be utilized by location aware applications running on
iOS, Android or Windows.
On Windows 7 devices, the first initial pairing might take up to
seven minutes.

Different versions
available for Zeno
Connect
There are three different versions of Zeno Connect available. One for iOS, one
for Android and one for Windows.
Zeno Connect for iOS and Android is available for download from the respective
app stores. A valid internet connection is necessary. Unlike the Windows Zeno
Connect version, a license for Zeno Connect on Android and iOS smartphones
and tablets is included with the GG04 plus antenna purchase.
Zeno Connect for Windows can be downloaded from myWorld, including installation instructions and user manual.

Using Zeno Connect
on Android devices
(third-party)
Zeno Connect on Android utilizes the so-called Android Location Manager. It
allows every location aware app installed on your device to utilize the highly
accurate GNSS position.
Install Zeno Connect
Install Zeno Connect from the Google Play Store.
On the first startup Zeno Connect checks if the GPS is switched on. If this is
not the case you are guided for the correct setting.
r
Furthermore, Zeno Connect verifies that it is set as the mock-location app. This
setting has to be enabled only once. It can be achieved by following these
steps:
Enable Mock Location
Activate the Developer options first in order to enable mock locations.
1. Tap OK to enter the Android settings page, when Zeno Connect is
asking for it.
2. Scroll to and tap About phone in the Settings page.
3. Scroll to and tap Build number seven times.
A message saying that Developer options have been activated is displayed.
4. Go back to the Settings page. Tap on Developer options and turn
them on.

the device manufacturer, it is also possible that you can define which
app should be used as the mock-location app. If this is the case,
select Zeno Connect.
6. A device restart is recommended to ensure that the settings are enabled.
Connect the GG04 plus antenna
Once the setup is correct, connect the GG04 plus antenna within the Zeno
Connect settings.
Enter the pairing code “0000” when requested.
As soon as connection is established, the position information from the GG04
plus is automatically used by any location aware app running on your device.
For more detailed information about Zeno Connect settings and antenna configuration, refer to the respective documentation.
In case further GNSS metadata are required, some apps allow to establish a
direct connection to the GG04 plus antenna by a Bluetooth connection. It
allows reading NMEA messages directly from the antenna in order to obtain
additional GNSS meta information. Consult the respective app documentation
on how to do this. Zeno Connect is still required to configure and to provide
correction data to the antenna.
t
Using Zeno Connect
on Apple devices
The GG04 plus can be connected by Bluetooth settings to an Apple device. Any
location aware app can immediately use the uncorrected, navigated position
coming from the antenna. For a more accurate position, utilise Zeno Connect.
After pairing the antenna with your Apple device using the iOS Bluetooth settings, enter the pairing code “0000” once requested. In case, Zeno Connect is
not yet installed on the Apple device, a pop up is displayed. It guides you automatically to the Zeno Connect installation from the Apple App Store (iOS).
Start Zeno Connect to configure and to provide correction data to the antenna.
The high accuracy position is then automatically used by any location aware
app running on the Apple device.
For more detailed information about Zeno Connect settings and antenna configuration, refer to the respective documentation.
In case further GNSS metadata are required, some apps allow you to establish
a direct connection to the GG04 plus antenna by a SPP Bluetooth connection. It
allows reading NMEA messages coming directly from the antenna in order to
llows reading NMEA messages coming directly from the antenna in order t

Operation 25
☞
The GG04 plus GNSS metadata feature is restricted and it might not
yet be possible in your app to connect to the additional SPP Bluetooth
port of the antenna. If this feature is needed, ask the app developer
to contact the Leica Zeno team for approval and integration guidance
(zeno.support@leica-geosystems.com).
3.5 Correction Service Spot Lite and Spot Prime (PPP)
Description
Service activation
Spot Lite and Spot Prime are correction services supported by the GG04 plus
antenna.
Both are subscription services with the correction data being received from a
satellite. Therefore, this service is an ideal solution for precise applications in
areas where mobile data connection is unavailable or unreliable and real-time
high accuracy is necessary.
With the correction service, the position accuracy will be enhanced autonomously after a necessary convergence time.
•
10 cm and better level for Spot Prime.
•
60 cm and better level with the Spot Lite service.
The convergence phase can take up to 30 minutes to have a converged solution with the Spot Prime option and up to seven minutes for Spot Lite.
☞
After ordering the subscription service, activate the respective Spot option once
within 30 days of the order date. To complete the activation process, switch on
the antenna and leave it running in very good GNSS conditions for up to
three hours. A stable tracking of one of the PPP satellites is necessary for the
initial activation. Once the activation is completed, a corrected position by the
Spot option is possible.
An L1/L2 option is necessary to use the different Spot options.
Service usage
26 Operation
After the initial activation, the Spot option can be activated like any other correction service. After activation, the convergence period begins, where the
position accuracy is gradually improving over time until the best possible position accuracy is achieved.
The tracking of at least one correction satellite is necessary to receive a corrected GNSS position, during both the convergence period and spot usage.
