GeoPro K2 Series Overview
Specially designed for industrial users, GeoPro K2 series industry-grade GIS data collector
is small in size and easy to carry. The rugged design of GeoPro K2 series makes it
withstand 1.5 meters natural fall and meets IP67 standard, which makes your fieldwork
easy and safe even in extreme conditions. Furthermore, the large capacity Li-Ion battery
provides up to 8 hours of continuous operation.
GeoPro K2 series offers overall GNSS/GIS solutions, which is compatible with
international main-stream GIS platforms especially Geosun GIS, while supporting
large-size image data (up to 10GB) and hundreds megabyte level vector data loading.
GeoPro K2 series, with independent intellectual property, offers high-accuracy real-time
differential and kinematic survey for post-processing. Based on Windows CE operating
system, Geosun can offer users customized applications or functions according to different
requirements.
GeoPro K2 series includes GeoPro K2E and GeoPro K2G., whose configurations are

Innovative Technology
Flexible, Diversified Wireless Communication Technology
GPRS Data Transmission
With mature GPRS data transmission technology, the data transmission and
communication is not restricted by operation distance, which is especially
suitable for urban or mountainous area where the broadcasting signal is subject
to be blocked.
Integrated Bluetooth Wireless Communications
Built-in Bluetooth communication modules easily realize short distance
wireless data transmission.
Integrated Three-dimensional Electronic Compass
The built-in electronic compass plays an effective assistance to the GPS fieldwork,
which helps GeoPro K2 series to provide the accurate direction for users even with
poor satellite signals or in low-speed or static status.
Intelligent Speech Technology
Support intelligent judgement, voice prompt, status warning and etc.
Intuitive Digital Image
The embedded digital camera can capture the related image on-site directly for
convenient attribute annotation while the built-in microphone supports audio
annotation. And the Geosun GeoPac software installed inside will automatically
match the image with current GPS position for convenient background application.
U Disc File Management Mode
Easy U disc storage style is adopted for file management. Without any special
software, just the plug-and-play operation enables users to download and manage the
handheld files conveniently.
Smart Charging
Power adapter provides 5.2V/2A output. Smart charging module is designed to help
identify the charging status. And the K2 series handheld will automatically shut down
after fully charged.

GeoPac software of Geosun is a professional GNSS data acquisition, processing and
management software suite, which adopts unique high-accuracy data processing
algorithm and contains many optional application modules. With GeoPac, you can
easily handle the point, line, plane, annotation and image, realizing seamless
integration of fieldwork and office work.
Integrated Handheld Design
Highly integrated industry design and all built-in key components, ABS + PC shell,
withstand 1.5 meters natural fall. Industrial three proofing standard: waterproof,
shockproof and dustproof.
High-end Configuration
3.5 inches sunlight readable color touch screen. The built-in Micro SD card slot
supports massive storage expansion up to 32GB. And USB data download is
supported.
Standard Li-Ion Battery with Large Capacity
3.7 V/4200mAh large capacity battery are equipped as standard configuration, which
can support continuous operation up to 8 hours in GPS mode while 6 hours in GPS +
GPRS mode (with only one battery inside).
Data Communication
Support GPRS wireless communication which breaks distance limitation.
Enabling data transmitting and receiving freely in areas where GPRS is available.
Operation Mode
Touch screen and keyboard, easy to operate.

Notice
Although GeoPro K2 series handheld is made of corrosion-resistant and impact-resistant
materials, this kind of sophisticated instrument still needs careful usage and maintenance.
Please preserve the handheld in dry environment as possible. To improve its stability and
service life, the handheld should avoid being exposed to extreme environment, such as
damp, high or low temperature, corrosive gas or liquid and etc.
To ensure the continuity and quality of satellite tracking, the space over observation site
should be as open as possible, without large obstacles over 15°elevating angle. To reduce
various electromagnetic interference to GNSS satellite signal, please make sure no strong
electromagnetic interference in 200m range around the observation site, such as TV tower,
microwave station, high-voltage transmission. To avoid or to reduce the occurrence of
multipath influence, the site should be set far away from the terrain and ground features
where the electromagnetic wave signal reflection is strong, such as high buildings, large
area waters, etc.
Warnings:
This equipment contains ESDS (Electrostatic Discharge Sensitive Device), with level
C electrostatic anti-interference test. To touch, move or plug the equipment, please
follow the ESD (Electro-Static Discharge) instruction.
Must be used and preserved in the stipulated temperature range. For details, please
refer to the chapter Technical Parameters.
