Optimising the Zeno 20 for GNSS Tracking
To optimise the GNSS tracking of the Zeno 20, adhere to the following recom-
mendations:
•
Do not hold the device too close to your body to ensure good visibility of
satellites.
•
Hold the device always pointed towards the direction where the most sat-
ellites are probable to be seen. Due to the satellite constellation, this is
the southern direction on the northern hemisphere, and the northern
direction on the southern hemisphere. This ensures, that you do not
impair the visibility of most of the satellites by shielding the device with
your body.
•
To ensure the best tracking behaviour of the integrated antenna, hold the
device in a way that the antenna is aligned horizontally as best as possi-
ble.

Setting up the Zeno 20 with a Disto S910
You can combine the Zeno 20 with a Disto S910 to get a TPS-similar setup.
Position the setup close to the asset where the GNSS conditions are good and
measure your target with the Disto S910. This method allows you to measure
inaccessible or unreachable points from a safe distance and to collect data in
areas where the GNSS reception is bad. To increase your productivity, it is also
possible to measure multiple assets within sight of one setup point.

Tripod Solution:
Zeno 20 and Disto S910 are moun-
ted on a tripod using the Disto FTA360 adapter. This
solution allows for a stable setup for more accurate
measurements with the Disto S910. For this setup,
you can use the internal antenna of the Zeno 20.
