2. Key features
⚫All in one
Integrated with transmitting and receiving functions.
⚫Radio Relay
Increase the transmitting distance by receiving data and transmitting out using different
frequency.
⚫Power Protection
Two-stage surge protection is used to protect the radio from damage when the input voltage
or current exceeds the normal range or positive and negative stages are reversed.
⚫Standing Wave Detection Protection
Prevent damage caused by long-time open circuit or short circuit.
⚫Good Heat Dissipation
One-piece molded case makes it easy to perform good heat dissipation.
⚫Thermal Protection
TRU35 can adjust the transmit power adaptively, automatically reduce the power when
temperature is too high, and increase the power when temperature decreases. Ensure radio
equipment is always in a stable power range and will not be damaged by overheating.
⚫IP67 Protection
⚫Bluetooth Function
Bluetooth can be used to configurate operating mode, protocol, frequency, power level as
well as receiving data and transmitting out using radio.
⚫16 Channels
User can switch frequency quickly with 16 radio channels.
⚫Long Transmission Distance
Transmission distance can reach 14Km with high power level (Optimal conditions)

6. Configuration
The configuration software has been integrated into SurPad4.0 data collection software.
6.1 Connect TRU35
➢Start SurPad4.0 software, then find Tools -> External Radio Configuration
➢“Radio type” choose “Geoelectron”, “Connection mode” choose “Bluetooth”
➢Then click “Search” to search device. You will see radio serial number in the list
➢Select the device and click [Connect], the Bluetooth indicator will turn blue
➢Click “Settings” to show setting page
Note:
1. Disconnect GPS receiver before you connect external radio
2. The first time to connect, it will ask to input pair code: 1234

6.2 Parameter Setting
In this page, you can set channels frequency, radio protocol, baud rate, relay function and alert
for low power level/high temperature.
Note:
1. The frequency must be supported by external radio antenna.
2. When relay function is enabled, receiving channel should be same with Base, transmitting
channel should be same with Rover.
3. When relay function is enabled, the radio protocol should be the same.
4. When relay function is enabled, receiving and transmitting frequency can’t be the same.
5. Low pressure alert is set to 10.5v by default. When lower than 11.3v, the power indicator
will flash but still can transmit data. When lower than 10.5v, the power indicator keep
flash and stop transmitting data.
6. High temperature warning is set to 90℃ by default. The power indicator will flash and
stop transmitting data when higher than 90℃.
6.3 Channel Detect
In this page, you can detect the strength of predefined/customized frequency.
Note:
1. The external radio antenna is required for this function.
2. If the detected frequency strength is strong, that means some other people may be
using this frequency.
