SonTek RS5 User Manual (August 2020) 36

Please see Appendix D for detailed instructions on how to enable an external

GNSS/GPS antenna for the first time.

The external GNSS/GPS antenna must supply its own power. Please follow the antenna

manufacturer’s instructions on how to power their system.

5.3. Secure RS5 in Hydroboard II – Micro

Once the RS5 system is powered put the system in the Hydroboard II – Micro hole and

secure the bracket. Make sure that the RS5 heads is further than the bottom of the

board to ensure that the transducers remain in the water (Figure 11).

Figure 11. Installing the RS5 in the HBII-Micro: Ensure that the RS5 head extends further than the bottom of

the board.

5.4. Connect Bluetooth Radio Antenna

There are two options to install the Bluetooth radio antenna on the RS5 unit: directly

attached to the RS5 (no GNSS antenna) or elevated (with GNSS antenna on mount).

Extensive testing has shown that elevating the Bluetooth antenna above the GNSS

antenna drastically improves communications if a GNSS antenna is used. Figure 12

shows what the two configurations look like. If mounting the Bluetooth antenna above

the GNSS, the radio extension cable is required (shown in Figure 2). The extension

cable can be used even without a GNSS antenna if desired.
