TrimbleR10ReceiverWebHelp
radartransmittercanoverwhelmthereceivercircuits.Thisdoesnotharmthereceiver,
butcanpreventthereceiverelectronicsfromfunctioningcorrectly.
Low‐powertransmitters,suchasthoseincellphonesandtwo‐wayradios,donot
interferewithreceiveroperations
 Donotsetupthe
basestationdirectlybeneathorclosetooverheadpowerlinesorelectrical
generationfacilities.Theelectromagneticfieldsassociatedwiththeseutilitiescaninterfere
withGNSSreceiveroperation.Othersourcesofelectromagneticinterferenceinclude:
 Gasolineengines(sparkplugs)
 Televisionsandcomputermonitors
 Alternatorsandgenerators
 Electricmotors
 EquipmentwithDC‐to‐ACconverters
 Fluorescentlights
 Switchingpowersupplies
 PlacetheGNSSreceiversinaprotectedandsecurelocation.Ifthebasestationisinthecenter
ofajobsitewhereheavymachineryisoperating,placeflagsaroundthebasestationto warn
operatorsof
itsexistence.
 Ifyouplacethereceiverinalockboxonthejobsitetoprotectthereceiverfromtheftorfrom
theweather,shieldthelockboxfromdirectsunlightandprovideventilationforthereceiver
throughaninletandextractorfan.Areceiverthathasabroadcast
radiogeneratessignificant
heat.Donotallowthetemperatureintheboxtoexceed50°C(122°F).
Ifworkinginacoldclimate,youmayneedtoprovideheattothereceiver.Donotoperatethe
receiverbelow–40°C(–40°F)
 Trimblerecommendsthat,whereverpossible,youkeep
GNSSreceiverequipmentdry.The
receiversaredesignedtowithstandwetweather,butkeepingthemdryprolongstheirlifeand
reducestheeffectsofcorrosiononportsandconnectors.Iftheequipmentgetswet,usea
cleandryclothtodrytheequipmentandthenleavetheequipmentopento
theairtodry.Do
notlockwetequipmentinatransportcaseforprolongedperiods.Avoidexposingthereceiver
tocorrosiveliquidsandsaltwaterwhereverpossible.
 Trimblerecommendsthatyouinstalllightningprotectionequipme ntatpermanentbase
stationlocations.Equipmentshouldincludeagascapsulelightningprotectorin
theGNSSand
radioantennafeedlineandappropriatesafetygrounding.Astaticdissipaternearthe
antennascanreducethelikelihoodofadirectlightningstrike.Alsoprotectany
communicationsandpowerlinesatbuildingentrypoints.Formoreinformation,contactyour
localTrimbledealer,orgototheHuber
andSuhnerwebsite(www.hubersuhnerinc.com).
