Setting Up the Base Station
The Base Station can be set up and taken down on a daily basis, or
mounted on a permanently fixed pole and left for the duration of the
project. A permanent setup prevents errors due to incorrect antenna
height measurements.
When setting up the Base station, make sure you select the correct
point from the control points file and verify the point has a northing,
easting, and elevation coordinate. The more accurate these
coordinates are, the tighter the control while grading.
Use the following checklist for quick setup of the Base Station.
†
Select a control point and install the Base station over it.
†
Measure the antenna height.
†
Connect all Base Station components and cables.
†
Select the correct radio settings. Refer to your Base Station’s
documentation for specific radio configuration procedures.
The Base and Machine must use the same radio settings.
†
Initialize the Base station.
