Automatic Usage-Logging
RD7100 locator models equipped with GPS offer a powerful data logging system which
records all the instrument’s critical parameters (including GPS position, if available) and
warnings in its internal memory every second.
The automatic logging system is always active and cannot be disabled. The locator’s
memory is capable of storing over 500 days of usage data, when used for 8 hours per day.
Logs can be retrieved using the RD Manager PC application for usage analysis and
survey validation. Refer to the RD Manager operation manual for further information.
GPS
The RD7100 locator can use an internal GPS module (GPS models only) to be able to
detect and store its latitude, longitude and accurate UTC time alongside its location data.
This positional information is then appended to the automatic usage-logging system.
The presence of GPS data allows for the data to be mapped easily and to export and
save the information directly into GIS systems.
GPS menu settings
There are 5 options in the GPS menu:
•
INT: Select this to use the internal GPS if present.
• OFF: Select this to switch off the internal GPS module and save battery.
• SBAS: Set SBAS (Satellite-based augmentation systems) mode to improve GPS
accuracy. When ON the GPS system will take longer to lock.
• RESET: Select YES to reset the internal GPS (GPS models only).
CALSafe
GPS equipped RD7100 locators models are equipped with a system which can be
enabled to force them to shut down once they are beyond the expected service /
calibration date.
When the unit is within 30 days of the service due date the unit will display at startup the
number of days left. The locator will stop functioning on the service due date.
CALSafe is disabled by default. You can enable the CALSafe feature and edit the
CALSafe service / calibration due date using the RD Manager PC software. Refer to the
RD Manager operation manual for further information.
