Setting up as a Real-Time Rover
Use
The equipment setup is used for real-time rover with extended periods of use in the
field.
Description
The radio attaches to the GS10 and is placed in the backpack. Connections are made
to the GNSS antenna, radio antenna and field controller. The cables coming from the
backpack can be disconnected when an obstacle such as a fence has to be crossed.
The field controller is fixed to the pole with the GHT62. Connection between the GS15
instrument and the field controller is made through Bluetooth.
• The antenna is mounted directly using screw fitting. If using stub and adapter,
procedures can vary slightly.
• When using the pole with stub, ensure that the antenna and the screw-to-stub
adapter slide down the full length of the stub before tightening the locking ring. An
incorrectly mounted antenna will have a direct effect on the results.
• Aluminium poles are used. They can be replaced with their carbon fibre equivalent
without any change to these instructions.
• Standard radio is used throughout the instructions. Digital cellular phones can also
be used but the setup can differ slightly.
