RADIO CHAPTER 6
GEODIMETER SYSTEM 600
Overview
To be able to communicate between the instrument and the
RPU the instrument must be equipped with a radio side
cover and the keyboard unit must be connected to an
external radio. The radio side cover consists of a built in
radio and an antenna.
Select radio channel
The radio channel is selected from menu 15. Up to 12
channels can be used depending on how many are supplied
or permitted by authorities in each country. Select a channel
using the <- (arrow) key when the keyboard is attached to
the instrument. Then, when the keyboard unit is detached
and connected to the external radio, this radio will
automatically get the same channel as the instrument.
The range of different channels makes it possible to work
with more than one Geodimeter System 600 at a working
site. It is though important that each system has its own
radio channel so that not any disturbances will occur.
Station address
If disturbances occur on the radio channel from other
systems in the same area, try to change channel. If that does
not help the instrument and the RPU can be given an unique
address. Choose menu 15, Radio with the keyboard unit
attached to the instrument. Here you are prompted to enter a
station address and a remote address between 0 and 99.
Radio license
Before using the system at your working site it is important
to notify that in some countries it is necessary to have a user
license. Make sure that your Geodimeter agent has informed
you about the regulations in your country.
