FCC Notice
ProMark 800 Receiver complies with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to the Part 15 of the FCC rules when it is used in Portable Mode. See Note below related to Class B device.
Class B digital devices NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try and correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
–Reorient or locate the receiving antenna.
–Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
–Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
–Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
When ProMark 800 is used with an external power supply or connected to an external device using the USB port, it complies with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to the Part 15 of the FCC rules. See Note below related to Class A device.
Class A digital devices NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
Remark: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by Spectra Precision, could void the right for user to operate the equipment.
RF Safety Exposure To Radio Frequency Energy (SAR)
Radio transmitting devices radiate Radio Frequency (RF) energy during its operation. RF energy can be absorbed into the human body and potentially can cause adverse health effects if excessive levels are absorbed. The unit of measurement for human exposure to RF energy is "Specific Absorption Rate" (SAR).
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Industrie Canada (IC), and other agencies around the world have established limits that incorporate a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons using this equipment. In order to certify this unit for sale in the US, Canada and Europe this unit has been tested for RF exposure compliance at a qualified test laboratory
and found to comply with the regulations regarding exposure to RF Energy. SAR was measured with the unit (GSM Module) transmitting at its maximum certified RF power. Often, however, during normal operation the unit (GSM Module) will transmit much less than maximum power. Transmit power is controlled automatically and, in general is reduced as you get closer to a cellular base station. This reduction in transmit power will result in a lower RF energy exposure and resulting SAR value.
FCC and CE UHF Safety Statement
The different versions of the UHF Transmitters are FCC and CE compliant.
In order to comply with FCC and CE RF exposure safety guidelines as body-worn, normal use of unit, the following must be followed:
A distance of AT LEAST 10 feet (3 m) of separation between the users body and the unit (UHF Transmitter). This distance has been defined taken into account the FCC and CE Requirements and the worst output power configuration.
Do NOT use the device in a manner such that it is in direct contact with the body (e.g. on the lap). Such use will likely exceed FCC RF safety exposure limits. See www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/ for more information on RF exposure safety.
Where to Find Information
This manual is designed to guide you through the basic ProMark 800 procedures. You can find additional information in the ProMark 800 Reference Manual, also provided on the ProMark 800 CD.

What is ProMark |
Congratulations! You have just acquired the latest multi- |
|
800? |
frequency, multi-constellation ProMark 800 GNSS Surveying |
|
|
System from Spectra Precision! |
|
|
GNSS has revolutionized control surveys, topographic data |
|
|
collection and construction surveying. Purchasing the right |
|
|
tools for a professional job is essential in today's competitive |
|
|
business environment. Learning to put these tools to work |
|
|
quickly and efficiently will be the focus of the present |
|
|
manual. |
|
|
Compared to ProMark 500, ProMark 800 integrates the so- |
|
|
called “GNSS-centric” new technology, known as Z-Blade™. |
|
|
By allowing the receiver to better combine all the signals |
|
|
available from the different visible GNSS constellations, |
|
|
Z-Blade will allow you to improve your field productivity. |
|
|
In addition, because it’s easy to use, you will be able to focus |
|
|
on your job and forget almost everything about the technical |
|
|
aspects of your equipment. No more cables, no more clip-on |
|
|
modules: ProMark 800 will be the reliable tool you are |
|
|
expecting for all your GNSS survey operations! |
|
Scope of this Guide
This guide is designed to help you rapidly familiarize yourself with your new equipment. For the sake of conciseness, only a selection of the many ProMark 800 functions are presented in this guide.
Most notably, in the RTK surveying section, only the use of radios is fully described in the implementation of the data link. The other solutions are only outlined. For a full description of these solutions, refer to the ProMark 800 Reference Manual.
Likewise, in the Logging Raw Data section, the assumption is made that raw data logging takes place simultaneously with the RTK field operations, which means the setup and configuration of the equipment is as described in the RTK surveying section. In fact, post-processed surveys can be conducted with ProMark 800 using optimized setups and configurations for static, Stop&Go and kinematic surveys. These are also discussed in the ProMark 800 Reference Manual.

Power button
To turn on the ProMark 800, hold the Power button pressed until the power LED lights up.
To turn off the ProMark 800, hold the Power button pressed until the “Ashtech” screen is displayed. Then release the button and wait until the ProMark 800 shuts down.
Power LED
This indicator is on when the ProMark 800 is on, and off when it is off.
Display Screen
The display consists of a 128 x 64-pixel, 1.5-inch monochrome yellow screen using organic LED technology (OLED). It is oriented slightly downwards so the screen can easily be read when the ProMark 800 is installed on top of a range pole.
Used in conjunction with the Scroll button, the display screen allows you to view different pages of information. See Display Screens on page 10 for a detailed description of the information available from this screen.
