GSR Quick User Manual
Foreword
This manual is provided as a brief guideline to perform the typical
steps for a successful installation with typical accessories. It is not
intended to cover all the different circumstances.
Step 1. Unpacking
GSR is shipped in a standard packing box containing all the
typical accessories. Some specific options (such as the external
battery) may be supplied in a separate box.
The packing box must be inspected for any external damage and
any damage should be immediately reported to the forwarder.
The contents of the packing box can be checked according to the
order and the packing list. Verify that none of the items have
physical damage. Keep the packing box for transportation to the
final location of the GSR.
Step 2. Installation Organisation
Before proceeding further please revise the figure at the end of
this manual, which illustrates standard and optional connections
of the GSR. This way you can familiarise yourself with the GSR
and the options you have received for connectivity.
The following items are required for a typical installation:
•
Drilling machine; tools and screws for mounting or
levelling
•
Compass or building references for the axis orientation
•
Latest version of GeoDAS software and manual (check
also on our web site
www.geosig.com
)
•
PC
#)
with a USB-Connector and serial (COM) port
•
Any accessories delivered with the GSR (refer also to the
figure at the end of this manual)
It is advisable to install GeoDAS (see Step 9) on the PC

prior
going to the final installation site. Also it is a good practice to
perform a first test of the whole system in the office and to get
familiar with it.
Step 3. Site Preparation
The installation site should be selected away from mechanical
and electrical noises and interference sources. The distances
must be evaluated for AC power source, GPS location, phone line
etc.; in order to have sufficient cable lengths.
Make sure that:
•
There is AC power near the instrument (either for GSR
operation or for drilling machine during installation).
•
If no AC power is present, make sure you have required
tools for installation accordingly.
•
Clean and free spaces are available on the foundation.
Step 4. Physical Installation
It is recommended to fix the GSR on the foundation firmly
(especially in case of an internal sensor). For the standard
housing, 4 holes are available
inside
the GSR housing, for
screws up to 6 mm diameter.
For the large housing, 4 holes are available
outside
of the GSR
housing, for screws up to 10 mm diameter.
Be sure to leave enough space at the front of the GSR for the
connectors and for opening the cover.

Step 5. Sensor Setup
Internal Sensor:
The level of the sensor should be adjusted
using the sensor levelling screws. To do this, you should turn off
the GSR, disconnect any cable connected to it and then remove
the black battery cover. You should be able to see the sensor as
in the below picture and level the sensor using the #)5 Hex
screwdriver.
a
DO NOT overtighten the levelling screws
DO NOT cause any short circuit on the battery poles
External Sensor:
Mount and level the sensor according to its
manual and connect to the SENSOR connector of the GSR. If the
sensor is delivered together with the GSR, its manual should be
under the Manuals folder on the supplied .
Step 6. Power Connection
The GSR needs a power source, which can be typically:
•
Direct AC connection with internal AC/DC power supply.
•
Connection to a DC power source (external DC power
adapter, solar panel & battery, other DC power source)
When the GSR is configured at factory for direct AC connection
or to an external DC power adapter, the power cable is delivered
either without a plug or with a standard Swiss plug. Appropriate
local power plug has to be furnished locally and should be wired
by a qualified electrician as:
•
Brown or Black wire
!
Phase
•
Blue or White wire
!
Neutral
•
Yellow-Green wire
!
Earth connection
It is recommended to connect the
M6 earthing screw on the
GSR housing, to the local earth.
Step 7. GPS Connection
The GPS module should be fixed at a location where satellite
signals could easily be received. If the GSR is installed inside a
building or a basement, the GPS module should be installed
outside. Once fixed, the GPS can be connected to the OPTION
connector of the GSR.
