Guidelines for Correct Results with GNSS Surveys
Undisturbed satel-
lite signal reception
Successful GNSS surveys require undisturbed satellite signal reception, especially at
the instrument which serves as a base. Set up the instrument in locations which are
free of obstructions such as trees, buildings or mountains.
Steady instrument
for static surveys
For static surveys, the instrument must be kept perfectly steady throughout the whole
occupation of a point. Place the instrument on a tripod or pillar.
Centred and
levelled instrument
Centre and level the instrument precisely over the marker.
green
power is 40% - 100%.
yellow
power is 20% - 40%. The remaining time for
which enough power is available depends on the
type of survey, the temperature and the age of
the battery.
red
power is 5% - 20%.
fast flashing red
power is low (<5%).
Power LED

flashing green
power is 40% - 100%. LED is green for 1 s every
10 s.
