Notices
The following symbols are used in this manual:
This symbol alerts you to possible sources of difficulty or situations that
may cause damage to the product or accessories if proper precautions
are not followed.
This symbol directs your attention to important operating instructions.
This symbol indicates helpful tips about effectively using the product.
Usage Cautions
• This receiver incorporates circuitry to absorb most static discharges.
However, severe static shock may cause inaccurate operation of the
unit. Use anti-static precautions where possible.
• This device is a precision instrument. Although it is designed for
rugged operating conditions, it performs best when handled with
care.
• This receiver can accept an input supply voltage in the range of
6-18 VDC. Do not operate the receiver outside the specified voltage
range.
• When the battery compartment door is closed and latched, and the
port covers are closed, the enclosure is sealed to provide protection
against adverse environmental conditions. To minimize the
possibility of damage, keep the battery compartment door closed
and latched except when inserting or removing the battery, and
keep the ports covered except when they are in use.
• If you are using cables with the receiver, always use the correct
cables and handle them with care (do not pinch or bend them
sharply). Failure to do so may damage the receiver and void its
warranty.

WEEE Notice
If you purchased your GSR1700 CSX in Europe, you must return it
to your dealer or supplier at the end of its life. The objectives of the
European Community's environment policy are, in particular, to
preserve, protect and improve the quality of the environment,
rationally. Sustainable development advocates the reduction of wasteful
consumption of natural resources and the prevention of pollution. Waste
electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is a regulated area. Where the
generation of waste cannot be avoided, it should be reused or recovered for
its material or energy. WEEE products may be recognized by their wheeled
bin label.

The GSR1700 CSX enclosure is fully sealed and houses your
system’s GNSS receiver, antenna, batteries, memory, and wireless
communication device.
2.1 Enclosure Overview
The receiver’s antenna is enclosed by the radome, which is
surrounded by a shock-absorbing rubber bumper.
The easy-to-use display panel incorporates single-button
operation and LED indicators that give you a view of your
system status. For details about the display panel features and
how to use them, see Chapter 3, Receiver Interface, page 16.
The battery compartment door provides access to the battery and
the memory card.

2.2 Ports
The receiver features an external power input port and a
communication port. Each port is labelled for easy identification
(see Table 5, Port descriptions, page 8).
Both ports are protected from dust and water by attached covers.
You should leave these port covers closed whenever the ports are
not in use.

1 Power Power input port
2 COM1 Communication port for accessory
devices
2.2.1 Communication port
Use the receiver’s communication port (COM1) to communicate
with a data collector or other accessory devices. The COM1 port
can also provide power output for powering external devices (see
Section 5.3, Power Peripheral Devices, page 45).
If you will be using both a radio and a wired data collector, contact your
distributor for the appropriate cable that enables the COM1 port to
operate simultaneously as two COM ports (COM1 and COM2).
2.2.2 Power port
The receiver features one power input port for connecting an
external power source to the receiver, such as using an external
battery as an alternative to the receiver’s battery.
2.2.3 Cable usage
When you are using cables, ensure that you follow the
instructions in this section.
The cables shown in Table 6, Cables for GSR1700 CSX, page 9, are
compatible with the GSR1700 CSX.

Do not use the GSR2700 IS/ISX PC USB cable (part number
403-0-0146) with the GSR1700 CSX. It is not approved for use with
this receiver.
To prevent damage to the receiver and the cables, each cable
connector is keyed to ensure that the cable can be inserted in only
one way. Connectors also have a latching mechanism that
requires careful insertion and removal from ports.
Observe the following guidelines when using cables:
1. Line up the red dot on the cable connector shell with the red
index mark on the port.
2. Insert the connector until it seats with a click. It will then be
locked in place.
3. To remove a cable, grasp the connector and pull straight out.
If there is a knurled ring, grasp it and pull.
Do not pull directly on the cable.
