Introduction
Thank you very much for choosing to purchase and use an S900 GNSS receiver from Phoenix LiDAR Systems!
All products and brand names mentioned in this publication are trademarks of their respective holders.
This guide is designed to help you familiarize yourself with your new equipment and successfully use it in the field. This
manual is intended to guide you through the basic functions required to collect and export survey grade Ground Control
Points (GCPs) using Stonex S900 receivers in conjunction with Carlson SurvCE software running on a Stonex S4II data
collector. Survey grade GCPs are required for the assessment of LiDAR point cloud absolute accuracy.
This manual is not a replacement for any of your equipment’s (hardware or software) user manuals, and is intended only as a
supplement to the following official user manuals:

Safety Information
Before you use your receiver, please make sure that you have read and understood the following warnings and safety
requirements.
GNSS Safety Warning
The S900 GNSS receivers track and utilize signals from many space based satellite navigation systems:
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the US Government which is solely responsible for the accuracy
and maintenance of the GPS network. Accuracy can also be affected by bad satellite geometry and obstructions
including buildings and tree canopy.
The GLONASS (GLObal NAvigation Satellite System), is a satellite navigation system operated by the Russian
Aerospace Defense Forces.
The Galileo System is the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) that is operated by the European Union (EU) and
European Space Agency (ESA)
BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) (also known as COMPASS or BeiDou-2) is a system operated by CNSA
(China National Space Administration.)
SBAS (Satellite Based Augmentation Services) may also be utilized by the S900 for carrier-phase corrections, in
addition to differential corrections.
