LAND-PAK™ User Guide – Rev. E
Chapter 1 .............................. Introduction
This manual describes the components of the
LAND-PAK™ system and the integration of those
components and software features not covered in the
FieldGenius documentation. Refer to the Related
Documents section of this document for a complete
product description of the SF-3040 and FieldGenius,
CAD Basic, and StarPoint software.
LAND-PAK is a complete end-user system designed
for land survey applications. LAND-PAK pairs
NavCom products with complementary technologies
and solutions, providing land surveyors a complete
turnkey system that does everything from field data
collection to office processing.
Unique Features
LAND-PAK has many unique features:
A Solution That Works
The LAND-PAK data collector provides cutting-edge
hardware with the most popular and easy-to-use
software on the market, FieldGenius. The powerful
internal radio modem gives LAND-PAK a wider
coverage area, allowing for longer distances between
stations.
In addition, the LAND-PAK data collector is equipped
with an internal 3G cell modem that can be used to
access network or NTRIP RTK corrections. These
two features together with NavCom’s RTK-Extend
capability make LAND-PAK the ideal solution for all
GNSS survey applications.
The Network RTK software option allows
the receiver to generate and receive
1-20
LAND-PAK™ User Guide – Rev. E
RTCM 1000-series messages. The
navigation algorithms are designed to
support single-base correction
configurations. Network adjusted RTK
formats are not currently supported.
Higher Accuracy and Reliability
With the internal radio modem and RTK options on
the SF-3040 receiver, LAND-PAK is capable of
performing centimeter-accurate RTK surveys. The
RTK algorithm developed by NavCom provides fast
initialization, and the NavCom ultra-compact binary
data format for RTK ensures robust data throughput.
The receiver can utilize NavCom RTK/UltraRTK™,
RTCM, Network RTCM, NTRIP, CMR and CMR+
data streams from other base stations to minimize
base-rover separation and allow for flexibility with preexisting GNSS survey systems.
GNSS Performance
The NavCom SF-3040 receivers use the NavCom
Sapphire GNSS engine. The technology is based on
NavCom’s Touchstone™ ASIC, of which more than
100,000 are in use worldwide. Incorporated are
NavCom patented interference suppression and
multipath mitigation, a 5 Hz raw data rate (up to 10
Hz1 optional), and 5 Hz geodetic-quality positioning
(up to 10 Hz1 optional).
1
Separate Software Option Required
RTK-Extend™
RTK-Extend™ enables continuous RTK-level
positioning accuracy during radio communication
outages by utilizing NavCom’s global StarFire™
corrections.
Traditionally, when an RTK rover loses
communication with the base station, it is unable to
continue to provide position updates for more than a
1-21
LAND-PAK™ User Guide – Rev. E
few seconds, resulting in user down-time and
reduced productivity. With RTK Extend™, a NavCom
StarFire™ receiver operating in RTK mode, can
transition to RTK Extend™ mode and maintain
centimeter level positioning during communication
loss for up to 15 minutes. RTK Extend™ allows more
efficient and uninterrupted work, enabling focused
concentration on the work rather than the tools.
Complete Portable System
LAND-PAK is a highly integrated solution designed
for productivity with minimal setup time and maximum
portability. Covering the entire land survey process, it
contains a complete base and rover system for field
data collection and back office processing.
Typical Applications

SF-3040 UHF Radio Modem Configuration
This section provides steps to initially configure the
LAND-PAK radio modems. Configuration is almost
identical for both the base station and rover radio
modems.
A 1-Watt internal, removable, user-configurable UHF
radio modem (PN 90-213034-01) is included with the
LAND-PAK system.
The UHF module is configured via the
FieldGenius software on the Nautiz X7
collector.
An optional 35W boost radio is available
for use when using the radio as a base
station and more than 1W of power is
required. The boost radio is connected
4-53
LAND-PAK™ User Guide – Rev. E
via a com port and is not controlled via
FieldGenius; see Appendix B for details.
Licensing Requirements
This radio device requires an FCC license prior to
operation in the United States. Other countries may
have similar requirements. It is the user’s
responsibility to acquire all applicable operator
licenses.
Radio Overview
The user configures the radio via software running on
the Nautiz X7 handheld controller or a PC.
Users in North America should be
aware that the frequency band
406.0 – 406.1 MHz is for
government use only, the use of
the radio modem on this frequency
band is strictly forbidden.
4-54
Use only the radio modem supplied
by NavCom in the SF-3040.

Channel Spacing
The data speed of the radio interface depends on the
chosen radio channel spacing. Channel spacing is
fixed at 25 KHz in software v2.1.7. Software v3.0 and
later allows 12.5 or 25 KHz.
Data Speed
If the data speeds of the radio interface and the serial
interface differ, the radio modem temporarily buffers
data being transferred, so no data loss occurs.
A channel spacing of 25 KHz enables a data speed of
19200 bps. Channel spacing of 12.5 KHz enable a
data speed of 9600 bps. The TrimTalk protocol limits
the data rate to 4800bps. However, these rates are
not programmable in the SF-3040.The data speed of
the radio interface is always fixed (19200 bps),
regardless of the data speed of the serial interface.
Transmitter
The transmitter output power is adjustable: It can be
set at 100, 200, 500, or 1000 mW (1 W). To conserve
battery life, the transmitter output power should be set
to the lowest possible level that ensures error-free
connections under variable conditions.
Table 8: Transmission Output Power Values,
Watts vs. dBm
4-57
LAND-PAK™ User Guide – Rev. E
High output power levels using short
connection distances can, in the worst case,
disturb the overall operation of the system.
The greatest allowable power
depends on the limits set by local
authorities, which limits must not be
exceeded under any circumstance.
Base Station Test Setup
This section provides steps to correctly and safely set
up the base station. It is important to select an open
area for the test setup.
The base station tripod leg points may
damage soft materials, including
indoor carpets.
1. Find a safe, open, and flat location in which to set
up the base station.
2. Unbuckle the strap that holds the tripod legs
together.
3. Open the tripod legs until the tripod is stable. Use
the tripod leg levers and the tripod wing screws to
adjust the height and secure the tripod (see
Figure 20). Leveling the tripod by eye is sufficient.

4-61
LAND-PAK™ User Guide – Rev. E
Figure 24: Mounting the MicroSurvey Nautiz X7
Refer to Figure 24 for the steps below:
3. Connect the clamp assembly to the rover pole:
a. Loosen the knob on the pole clamp.
b. Connect the pole clamp to the rover pole above
the level so that it does not obscure the level from
view.
c. Tighten the knob.
4. Mount the Nautiz X7 on the cradle clamp and
tighten the cradle knob.
Do not over-tighten the cradle. Over
tightening may cause damage to the
Nautiz X7 screen.
Do not lean the pole in a location
where the equipment is likely to fall.
Though the electronic products are
tested for a pole drop, repeated drops
or drops on the wrong axis may still
cause equipment damage.
5. Extend the rover pole to the maximum height
possible and snap it into place. This may require
4-62
LAND-PAK™ User Guide – Rev. E
turning the top pole to align the spring-loaded
clasps with the bottom pole.

to secure the extension pole.
Extending the rover pole reduces the
possibility of satellite signal blockage by
passing pedestrians or vehicles.
7. Insert the two lithium-ion battery packs into the
SF-3040 GNSS receiver. Refer to Chapter 3
Battery Charging for details.
8. Screw the receiver antenna onto the SF-3040.

The specifications herein are based on
the following: PDOP <4, 1-sigma (65%),
24-hour averaged set of data. Further,
performance is dependent on, but not
limited to, location, satellite geometry,
atmospheric conditions (i.e., solar storm
activity), local interference, DoD signal
degradation (i.e., Selective Availability or
similar techniques), satellite messaging
or timing errors, and augmentation
correction messages. Equipment
operated on a single frequency is more
susceptible to atmospheric and solar
storm activity than is multi-frequency
operated equipment.
The Network RTK software option allows
the receiver to generate and receive
RTCM 1000-series messages. The
navigation algorithms are designed to
support single-base correction
configurations. Network adjusted RTK
formats are not currently supported.
RTK WL is a positioning mode that is
necessary for phase ambiguity
resolution. However when this
navigation mode is indicated, it is likely
that the receiver is in a corner case
navigation condition. As such, it is not
likely that the end user will wish to use it
as a valid navigation mode.
5-91
LAND-PAK™ User Guide – Rev. E
If the above conditions are met, then the
receiver will not need to be put into RTKWL mode.
RTK Extend uses StarFire to provide
continuous RTK positioning during nonreception of RTK corrections. When a
StarFire-enabled receiver with RTK
Extend falls out of RTK mode, the
system automatically transitions to RTK
Extend mode. Positioning is maintained
because of the close correlation in
phase measurement corrections
between RTK and StarFire.
Depending on how long the RTK base
station has been running and is StarFirefixed, the duration of RTK Extend is
limited to:
2 to 15 minutes for a NavCom
Technology base station
2 to 15 minutes for a non-NavCom
Technology base station
For RTK Extend to achieve maximum
performance, the rover must be fully
converged, which typically requires one
(1) hour of operation.
The correlation between RTK and
StarFire phase measurement
corrections decreases over time, until
the system automatically transitions out
of RTK Extend mode to the next
