GSR2700 IS Operations Manual 39
System Setup Chapter 4
For RTK base setup, complete the following steps:
1. Mount the GSR2700 IS on the tripod.
NOTE Position the receiver with the GPS antenna up and the
mounting socket down.
2. If you don’t plan to use a data collector in the field, ensure
you have the appropriate POWERUP configuration loaded
onto the receiver (see Chapter 6,
Collecting Data , page 48).
3. If you are using the internal radio, ensure that the internal
radio antenna is connected to the receiver’s antenna port (see
Section 2.7,
Internal Radio , page 17).
4. If you are using an external radio device:
• Ensure the antenna is connected to the radio device.
• Connect power to the radio device.
• Use a radio communications cable to connect the device to
the receiver’s COM2 (white) port (see Chapter 2,
GSR2700 IS Components , page 10).
5. Turn on the receiver (see Chapter 5, Basic Operations ,
page 42).
6. (Optional) Use a Bluetooth connection, or serial
communication via the receiver’s COM1 (blue) port, to
connect a data collector to the receiver (see Chapter 2,
GSR2700 IS Components , page 10).
CAUTION
Always ensure that the radio antenna is
properly connected to your receiver before
turning the unit on. Never disconnect the
radio antenna while the internal radio is still
powered. Removal of the antenna while the
unit is powered may cause irreparable
damage to the internal circuitry of your
radio, particularly when the radio is
transmitting information.
