EPOCH 50 GNSS System User Guide 11
Introduction 1
1.3 Use and care
The receiver can withstand the rough treatment that typically occurs in the field.
However, the receiver is a high-precision electronic instrument and should be treated
with reasonable care.
C
CAUTION – Operating or storing the receiver outside the specified temperature range can
damage it. For more information, see Chapter 4, Specifications.
High-power signals from a nearby radio or radar transmitter can overwhelm the
receiver circuits. This does not harm the instrument, but it can prevent the receiver
from functioning correctly. Do not use the receiver within 400 meters (1312 feet) of
powerful radar, television, or other transmitters. Low-power transmitters such as those
used in cell phones and two-way radios do not normally interfere with receiver
operations.
For more information, contact your Spectra Precision distributor.
1.4 COCOM limits
The U.S. Department of Commerce requires that all exportable GNSS products contain
performance limitations so that they cannot be used in a manner that could threaten
the security of the United States.
The following limitation is implemented on the receiver: Immediate access to satellite
measurements and navigation results is disabled when the receiver’s velocity is
computed to be greater than 1000 knots, or its altitude is computed to be above
18,000 meters (59,055 feet). The receiver continuously resets until the COCOM
situation is cleared.
