stated. Even if you have used other Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) products
before, GEOMATE recommends that you spend some time reading this manual to learn
about the special features of this product. If you are not familiar with GNSS, go to
www.GEOMATEnav.co m for an interactive look at GEOMATE and GNSS.
1.1 Safety Information
1.1.1 Warnings and Cautions
An absence of specific alerts does not mean that there are no safety risksinvolved.
A Warning or Caution information is intended to minimize the risk of personal injury and/or
damage to the equipment.
WARNING - A Warning alerts you to a potential misused or wrong setting of the
equipment.
CAUTION - A Caution alerts you to a possible risk of serious injury to your person and/or

2.1 About the Receiver
The new GEOMATENAV SG7 GNSS receiver offers integrated IMU-RTK technology to provide a
robust and accurate GNSS positioning in any circumstances. Unlike the standard MEMS
based GNSS receivers, the SG7 GNSS IMU-RTK combines state-of-the-art GNSS RTK engine,
calibration-free professional IMU sensor and advanced GNSS tracking capabilities. Survey
projects are achieved with high productivity and reliability pushing the boundaries of
conventional GNSS RTK survey.

2.3.4 External Power Supply
Two methods are available for providing the external power to the receiver by the GPS to PC Data
Cable+ Power Adapter, or GPS to PC Data Cable + external power cable (option purchase)
+ vehicle battery. In
the office:
The Power Adapter is connecting with AC power of 100-240V, the output port of the Power
Adapter connects with the Power Port of the GPS to PC DataCable.
In the field:
The external power cable is connecting with a vehicle battery, the output port of the external
power cable connects with the Power Port of the GPS to PC DataCable.
WARNING –Use caution when connecting external power cable’s clip leads to a vehicle
battery. Do not allow any metal object to connect (short) the battery’s positive (+) terminal to
either the negative (-) terminal or the metal part of the vehicle battery. This could result in
high current, arcing, and high temperatures, exposing the user to possibleinjury.

2.7 Downloading Logged Data
Data logging involves the collection of GNSS measurement data over a period at a static point
or points, and subsequent post-processing of the information to accurately compute baseline
information.
2.7.1 FTP Download
The procedures of downloading logged data through FTP are as follows:
(1) Switch on the receiver, search its Wi-Fi in the computer and connect.
(2) After the successful connection, open the file manager in the computer and input
“ftp:\\192.168.1.1” in the address box.
(3) Input user name and password, the default user name and password are “ftp”.
(4) Double click the folder “repo_receiver SN” (take 3411955 as example), you will see 9
folders. The “push_log” folder is used to save the log files, and the other 8 folders represent
different logging sessions and are used for store static data.
