APPENDIX D: GPS (GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM) OPTION
At GEM, we address our customer requests for GPS and its higher resolution derivative,
Differential GPS (DGPS) through both built-in and external GPS options. Built-in GPS offers many
advantages because it minimizes weight and removes bulky components that can be damaged
through normal survey procedures.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
The GPS antenna must be connected to the BNC connector MARKED WITH
YELLOW located on the RIGHT HAND SIDE of the console. Do NOT connect
the GPS antenna into the BNC connector for the sensor RF on the left-hand side.
The antenna will be damaged beyond repair.
The GPS antenna MUST be mounted a minimum of one full section staff (56cm)
apart from the sensors to avoid magnetic interference.
