SYSTEM MANUAL Version 6.03i
74
Serial protocol, NMEA data stream, 9600 baud, no parity, 8-bit, 1 stop, no handshaking.
GPS stream must include: GGA or GLL and RMC or ZDA.
If no external signal is received within 5 minutes the system will default to internal GPS.
12.3. GPS Reset
If the GPS system requires re-setting at any time, this can be done by selecting
GPS SET
from the above menu, which will automatically detect and re-configure the GPS system.
There are two types of GPS systems which are fitted to C-SCAN:
Type 3 GPS: Instantly configured ready for use
Type 2 GPS: Once re-set will configure next time
GPS
button is pressed on the
start screen
12.4. Geo-fencing
C-SCAN utilises geo-fencing technology within the Detector. Whilst normal operation is
unaffected, users operating outside the boundaries of their encoded region will be given a
time limit warning via the STARTUP screen. In normal operation the STARTUP screen
will indicate the encoded region, but when surveying outside of this region the time limit
warning will indicate the number of days remaining, after which time the Detector will not
be able to carry out any further surveys until it is returned to its original territory. Normal
operation will resume upon the next survey or by use of the
UPDATE LOC.
function. This
information can be confirmed via the INFO screen accessed from the
MENU
button.
13. BATTERY INFORMATION
13.1. Battery Life
The power consumption of the C-SCAN 2010 varies depending on use. This can be split
into a number of categories as shown below, along with the associated power
consumption. Switching the main isolator switch to OFF will disconnect the batteries. It is
recommended that the main switch be set to OFF during storage or shipping.

These times are
continuous
. In a real survey, the times will not be continuous as the
Detector will be switched off and on between survey readings. Realistically the maximum
survey time is 50 hours on one charge (more if using Alkaline batteries) for non-GPS
surveys, and 30 hours for GPS survey. At a maximum of 6 hours per day survey this will
give 8 days and 5 days respectively.
NOTE:
When replacing batteries, either alkaline or re-chargeable, be sure to purchase
good quality batteries as this will have an effect on the operating time. Cheap,
