10 GPS MODULE
The new versions of the FluorPen device (FP110) have integrated GPS module which can be turned on during the measurements. When
GPS module is turned on the map coordinates will be automatically saved with all collected data and will be downloaded during data
download.
For proper GPS reading, the time in your FluorPen and in your computer must be synchronized. Preset time and
time zone must correspond to GPS time (time zone) in your location.
10.1 GPS/FLUORPEN OPERATION
1. Check the time setting on the FluorPen device: Settings > Date & Time
2. Switch the GPS module “ON” on the FluorPen device by following these steps in the menu:
• Select: Accessories > GPS
• Press SET to confirm.
• Wait until the GPS position is found – “Starting GPS”.
• The GPS module is ready when the icon in upper panel changes as shown on Fig. 35.
3. If the picture on the display of the device does not change then proceed to
Accessories>GPS>Location selection in the menu and manually map the GPS by pressing SET. “GPS Acquisition“ message will appear
followed by coordinate. If the GPS module has difficulties mapping the coordinates, a message stating “GPS not locked” will appear
on the display. It may be necessary to take the device outside into a location that is easily accessible by the satellite (clear sky view)
and repeat the process of mapping.
4. Once the GPS has been turned on and successfully activated proceed to Measurement and select required protocol.
For prompt determination of the coordinates use the option Accessories > GPS > Location.
The device may need a clear view of the sky to acquire satellite signal.
Keep in mind that the FluorPen turns off automatically after about 8 minutes of no action.
Turning off the FluorPen always turns off GPS module.
10.2 DATA DOWNLOAD
1. Enabling Communication:
• Switch on the computer and the FluorPen. Set your computer to FluorPen communication: enable Bluetooth or connect to USB
port (see instructions on pg. 35).
2. Downloading Data from the FluorPen
• Start FluorPen program.
• Connect FluorPen device: Setup > Device ID (Ctrl+I)
• Download measured data from the FluorPen to your PC by clicking the down lad icon (top icon). Data measured with activated
GPS module are downloaded with GPS coordinates (Fig. 36).
