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.

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.

NOTE
Table 5: Port descriptions
Number Port Icon Description
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.
