Setting up as a Real-Time Rover
Use
The equipment setups described following are to be used for real-time rover with
extended periods of use in the field.
Description
The radio attaches to the GS10 instrument and is placed in the backpack. Connec-
tions are made to the GNSS antenna, radio antenna and CS field controller. The
cables coming from the backpack can be disconnected when an obstacle such as a
fence has to be crossed.
The CS field controller is fixed to the pole with the GHT62. Connection between the
GS15 instrument and the CS field controller is made via Bluetooth.
•
GNSS antenna/GS15 instrument is mounted directly using screw fitting. If using
stub and adapter, procedures can vary slightly.
•
When using the pole with stub, ensure that the GNSS/GS15 instrument antenna
and the screw-to-stub adapter slide down the full length of the stub before
tightening the locking ring. An incorrectly mounted GNSS/GS15 instrument
antenna will have a direct effect on the results.
•
Aluminium poles are used. They can be replaced with their carbon fibre equiva-
lent without any change to these instructions.
