Vector VR1000 GNSS Receiver Quick Reference Guide 
(QRG) 

 

 

Introduction 

Created by Hemisphere GNSS, this QRG provides information and 

the steps to follow to set up your Vector VR1000 GNSS Receiver.   

 

VR1000 key 

features 

Key features of the VR1000 include: 

 

High-precision positioning in Athena RTK, Atlas L-band, and SBAS 

 

Athena technology for improved RTK performance, especially 

with GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou 

 

Atlas* L-band technology providing highly accurate corrections 

over the air (*Requires the purchase of a subscription) 

 

Heave of 30 cm RMS (DGNSS), 10 cm (RTK) 

 

Pitch and roll < 1° RMS 

 

Heading accuracy up to .01°  

 

 

Mounting 

When considering where to mount the VR1000, consider the 

following satellite reception recommendations: 

 

Ensure cable length is adequate to route into the machine to 

reach a breakout box or terminal strip. 

 

Do not mount the receiver where environmental conditions 

exceed those specified in the VR1000 Technical Specifications of 

this document. 

 

Route cables away from any potential source of mechanical 

damage.
