30.2 Antennas
The 5700 receiver should normally be used with a Zephyr or Zephyr
Geodetic antenna. These antennas have been designed specifically for
use with the 5700 receiver.
Use Figure 3.14 as a guide for measuring the height of the Zephyr and
Zephyr Geodetic antennas. The Zephyr antenna is designed to be
measured to the top of the notch. The Zephyr Geodetic (shown) has
been designed to be measured to the bottom of the notch.
Figure 3.14 Measuring antenna height
Older models of antennas, such as the Choke Ring or
Micro-Centered™ L1/L2 antennas, need more power to operate than
the Zephyr models. To configure the 5700 to output more power on
the antenna port, select
the correct antenna type in GPS
Configurator, or through the Trimble controller
. For information
on how to do this, contact your local Trimble Service Provider.
