1.1 Foreword
V500 GNSS receiver brings superior performance and high efficiency that will support your fieldwork
with reliable solutions. Equipped with an upgraded high-definition starlight camera, V500 brings out an
excellent visual stakeout experience in low-light conditions. The compact and lightweight design makes
V500 a feasible and portable choice for engineering personnel in collecting data and improving
positional accuracy.
1.2 Features
1. With an ultra-light EPP material instrument case it is more durable and portable.
2. A lower camera is used for AR stakeout with an accuracy of better than 1 cm.
3. The inclusion of a high-performance patch antenna both enhances the low elevation angle tracking
capabilities and maintains a high gain for higher elevation satellites.
4. It can bring accurate and reliable results and boost efficient fieldwork with a self-developed built-in
IMU and core algorithm.
5. Hi-Fix technology enables both continuous connectivity and quality results as a certain level of
accuracy continues to be guaranteed even in the absence of differentials.
1.3 Use and precautions
The V500 GNSS receiver is designed to havechemicaland impactresistance, but precision instruments
require careful use and maintenance.
In order to ensure the continuous tracking observation of the satellite and quality of the satellite signal,
the space above the station should be as wide as possible, with no obstacles above the 15°elevation
angle. To reduce the interference of various electromagnetic waves on the GNSS satellite signal, there
should be no strong electromagnetic interference within a range of about 200m around the station, such
as TV towers, microwave stations, and high-voltage transmission lines. To avoid or reduce the
Notice: The receiver must be within the specified temperature range when it
is used and stored. For detailed requirements, please refer to Chapter 3:
Technical specification.

occurrence of multipath effects, the station should be away from terrain and features with strong
reflectors, such as high-rise buildings, water, etc.
