Introduction
4.1
Scope
This manual provides the information required for installation and operation of the ReACT GNSS
system. The ReACT can be fitted with multiple GNSS receiver options and therefore an
accompanying manual will be provided for specific receiver operation.
4.2
ReACT Overview
The Forsberg Services Ltd (FSL) ReACT (Receiver Antenna Compact Technology) is a compact, rugged
enclosure including a high quality GNSS receiver, antenna and optional DSP module. ReACT has
been designed for compatibility with NovAtel’s OEMStar, OEM719 and legacy OEM615 GNSS
receivers. This family of receivers offer a range of functionality that can be controlled through
firmware upgrades. The antenna fitted inside the system will be tuned for use with, GPS L1 and
GLONASS L1 (R) or GPS L1/L2, GLONASS G1/G2/G3, BeiDou B1/B2 and Galileo E1/E5b (Q). This
option is controlled through hardware and is non-upgradeable in the field. Further information
about the two different antenna models can be found in the appendix.
The unit is available in three model types:
4.3
ReACT NS
The NS model combines a GNSS receiver and antenna into a single enclosure.
This model provides direct comms to the GNSS receiver. A metal 19 pin Fischer
connector is provided for access to I/O. FSL provide various cable options with
the system.
Note: Selecting the OEMSTAR as the receiver will disable Event-In and COM3.
