4.1.3 Setting up as a Real-Time Rover
The equipment setup is used for real-time rover with extended periods of use
in the eld.
Connections are made to the GNSS antenna, radio antenna and eld control-
ler.
The eld controller is xed to the pole with the GHT63. Connection between
the GS18 instrument and the eld controller is made through Bluetooth.
•
The antenna is mounted directly using screw tting. If using stub and
adapter, procedures can vary slightly.
•
When using the pole with stub, ensure that the antenna and the screw-
to-stub adapter slide down the full length of the stub before tightening
the locking ring. An incorrectly mounted antenna will have a direct effect
on the results.
•
Carbon bre poles are used since they are recommended for automatic tilt
compensated measurements. For applications without tilt compensation,
they can be replaced with their aluminium equivalent without any changes
to these instructions.
•
Standard radio is used throughout the instructions. Digital cellular phones
can also be used but the setup can differ slightly.
