Setting up the Receiver 3
Trimble R7 GPS Receiver Operation
• To securely connect a TNC cable, align the cable connector with the receiver
receptacle and thread the cable connector onto the receptacle until snug.
• Insert the internal batteries with the battery contacts facing the
CompactFlash/USB door. The undersides of the batteries have a center groove
for alignment when being inserted into the receiver.
3.3 Postprocessed setup
For a postprocessed survey, you only need:
• the Trimble R7 GPS receiver
• a Zephyr
™
or Zephyr Geodetic
™
antenna
• a GPS antenna cable
Other equipment, as described below, is optional.
To set up the Trimble R7 GPS receiver for a postprocessed survey:
1. Set up the tripod with the tribrach and antenna adapter over the survey mark.
Instead of a tripod, you can use a range pole with a bipod. However, Trimble
recommends that you use a tripod for greater stability.
2. Mount the antenna on the tribrach adapter.
3. Use the tripod clip to hang the receiver on the tripod.
4. Connect the yellow GPS antenna cable to the Zephyr antenna.
5. Connect the other end of the GPS antenna cable to the yellow TNC port on the
receiver.
6. If external power is required, connect a battery with an 0-shell Lemo connection
to Port 2 or Port 3 on the receiver.
