About Settop M1

The Settop M1 is a GNSS reference receiver with remote control for Total Stations. It allows you to
manage GPS data while carrying out surveying work with a Total Station through various communication
ports such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Radio, Ethernet and GSM. Its flexibility and versatility makes the M1 the
standard reference model in surveying applications. The hardware has been designed with the aim of
making the M1 the smallest and lightest device on the market and fully configurable by customers.

The GPS RTK receiver is configurable as Base, Rover and Caster with emission and reception of
differential corrections via Radio, Internet Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. It is also configurable via web interface.
You can control and store Total Station data and internal GPS for surveying work.

It is configurable as Caster for sending differential corrections to different customers simultaneously via
telephone equipment. External devices can be controlled via a connection to its communication ports
(temperature sensors, pressure, inclinometers etc.).

Receiver Installation

Weather conditions

The equipment is conforms to environment rating (IP67), which makes it dust-proof and protects it against
contact with solids and liquids and makes it able to withstand pressure and water leakage when the unit is
submerged to a maximum of 1m.

However, you must take reasonable care to keep the unit dry.

To improve the performance and long-term reliability of the receiver avoid exposing the receiver to extreme
environmental conditions, such as:

•

Water

•

Heat: above 75 ° C

•

Cold: less than -40 ° C

•

Liquids and corrosive gases

External Antenna location

Before mounting the antenna on the reference station, you should carefully plan where to locate the antenna
and think how you will be able get precise coordinates.

You should choose a place which is as free as possible from interference, where the antenna has a clear
view of the sky and where there are no obstructions above the elevation of 10°.

If there are obstacles above 10°, or large metal objects nearby, the rover can collect data from satellites that
the reference station cannot pick up. These data cannot be used in DGPS RTK rover or solutions.

Batteries and Power

Powering to Settop M1

The receiver uses an external power source. If the receiver is not connected to an external power source or
if the external power supply fails, the receiver will shut down automatically without storing the data and
controlling external devices. The data that has been stored will not be lost. W hen the external power source
is restored, the computer will boot automatically with the last settings loaded. Autopower option must be
enabled (ON) in the System Settings section.

The battery supplied with the receiver Settop M1 is a rechargeable 12V NiMH Settop 9Ah which allows
continuous operation for up to 8 hours and with a special integrated battery the Settop M1 receivers capacity
increases to 14Ah that allows the unit to work continuously for more than 13 hours. Also, to ensure continuity
of operation it can be connected to the mains transformer with 12V - 32V.

You must press the button (red circle) for attaching and detach the battery and M1.

16

Powering to other devices

Settop M1 can power other devices connected through the COM1 or COM2 slots. To do so, System Settings
must indicate on the bridge option the limit of power supply you want, cutting off at the time of peak indicated.

Power limits are 15V, 20V, 25V and 30V.

The bridge is configured in both directions, that is, from COM1 to COM2 and COM2 to COM1.

WARNING: Before you activate the bridge, make sure that the computer can receive the maximum
voltage setting. Improper use of this option, can damage the computer, leaving it unusable.

Sources of electrical interference

High power signals from a nearby radio or radar transmitter can overwhelm the receiver circuits. This does
not harm the instrument, but can prevent the electronic receiver from working properly.

Avoid placing the receiver or antenna at least 400 meters from the following sources of electricity and / or
magnetic noise:

•

Powerful Radar

•

Gasoline engines (spark plugs)

•

TVs and computer monitors

•

GNSS antennas.

•

Alternators and generators

•

Electric motors

•

Equipment with DC-AC converters

•

Fluorescent lights

•

Switching power supplies

Low-power transmitters such as cell phones and two-way radios normally do not interfere with the operation
of the receiver.

It is recommended that you use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to power the receiver. A UPS protects
equipment from surges and spikes, and keeps the receiver operating during power outages of short duration.

For more information, contact Settop Survey ([e-mail]).

Configuring the receiver using web interface

The software of the Settop M1 has been designed as a web application. This means that no type of software
installation is necessary on the computer and you only have to connect to its interface web via a local
network or via Internet and you can interact with the application. The user interface is really easy to use and
supplies the user with all the information he needs about his instrument by simply turning on the application.
The web is divided into three basic parts: information about the system (System status), configuration of the
system (System configuration) and interactive site.

System status

In the upper part, we can control the state of the configuration of our Base/Mobile GPS as well as its
autonomous/floating/ fixed/post-process state. To configure our instrument we only have to select the device
that we want to modify and all possible configurations will appear in the centre frame of the screen.

System configuration

Moving the icons on the left, we can control at all times the configuration of our equipment as well as the
events that are happening on the job.

Interactive site

In the central part, is all the space to interact and configure your receiver using the option that allows the
device to operate. The OK button validates the settings done at the time.
