Trimble R10 - Connecting the receiver to external devices

TrimbleR10ReceiverWebHelp
 Theantennaandcablingshouldbeinstalledwheretheywillnotbecomeenergizedasaresult
offallingnearbypowerlines,norbemountedwheretheyaresubjectedtoover‐voltage
transients,particularlylightning.Suchinstallationsrequireadditionalprotectivemeansthat
aredetailedinnationaland
localelectricalcodes.
 GNSSsatellitesareconstantlymoving.Becauseyoucannotmeasureataspecificlocationnow
doesnotmeanthatyouwillnotbeabletomeasuretherelater,whensatellitecoverageatthe
locationimproves.UseGNSSplanningsoftwaretoidentifythedailybestandworstsatellite
coveragetimesforyourlocationandthenchoosemeasurementtimesthatcoincidewith
optimalGNSSperformance.ThisisespeciallyimportantwhenoperatingintheworstGNSS
locations.YoucandownloadtheTrimblePlanningsoftwarefromtheTrimblewebsite
(www.trimble.com/planningsoftware_ts.asp
).
 Togetafixedpositionsolutionwithcentimeteraccuracy,initializethePrecisionRTKrover
receiver.Forinitializationtotakeplace,thereceivermusttrackatleastfivesatellitesthatthe
basestationisalsotracking.Inadual‐satelliteconstellationoperation,forexample,GPSand
GLONASS,thereceivermust
trackatleastsixsatellites.
 Tomaintainafixedpositionsolution,therovermustcontinuouslytrackatleastfoursatellites
thatthebasestationisalsotracking.Theradiolinkbetweenthebaseandroverreceiversmust
alsobemaintained.
 Lossofthesatellitesignalsorlossofthe
radiolinkwillresultinalossofcentimeterposition
accuracy.
 InAutonomousmode,theroverhaslostradiocontactwiththebasestationreceiver,andis
workingbyitselfwiththeavailableGNSSsignals
Caution–TheR10receiverisnotsuitedtoon‐vehicleoperationwhereitwill
besubjectto
heavyvibration,thatis,operationinroughungradedterrain.Useintheseconditionscan
damagethereceiver.
Connectingthereceivertoexternaldevices
Youcanconnectthereceivertothefollowingdevices:
 aTrimblecontrollerrunningTrimbleSurveyControllerorTrimbleAccesssoftware
 anexternalradio‐modem
ConnectingtoaTrimblecontrollerrunningtheTrimbleSurveyControlleror
TrimbleAccesssoftware
YoucanoperateanR10receiverwithanyTrimblecontroller,forexample,aTSC3oraTrimble
Tablet.Typically,thereceiverandthecontrolleroperatefromtheirownindividualpowersources.
ThereceiverandcontrollercancommunicatethroughBluetoothwirelesstechnologyandcanbe
connectedwithoutacable.However,ifa
cableisrequired,thefollowingtableliststhecables
availablefortheR10.
