This Quick Start Guide to the TRIUMPH-LS contains the
basic information a user new to J-Field, the eld software of
TRIUMPH-LS and VICTOR-LS, needs to know to get started
working quickly. It is important that new users to J-Field
read and understand the information in this manual before
attempting to use J-Field. To obtain good results and RTK
solutions, it is most critical to understand the RTK
Verication and Validation process and settings. More
information and details are provided in the User’s Guide to
the TRIUMPHLS. J-Field also contains its own ever-
growing on-board manual with context sensitive help les
for various screens. Press the hardware (Help)
button to learn more about each screen.
J-Field is rapidly being developed with new updates typically
being released monthly; because of this, screenshots and
features in this guide may appear dierently from the latest
version of J-Field. Be sure to check www.javad.com/jgnss/
and the user forum at http://support.javad.com frequently to
stay current on all of the breaking news and innovative
developments from JAVAD GNSS. Details about new
features can also be found in the Application Notes accessed
from the Support menu.
Central to J-Field are four key concepts, briey introduced
here and that are discussed more fully in their respective
sections:
Project - A user-dened job identier with its own database le and folders
for storing data
Page - Each Project has 10 pages that can contain points and lines and can be
toggled on or o similar to CAD layers. Each Page has the option of having its
own coordinate system.
ShapeTags - User-dened tags for points that can be assigned to create lines
between points with like ShapeTags
Codes - Each point has a Code eld to store commonly used point descriptions.
Once a Code has been created, it can be recalled from the Codes Library or from
the Favorite Codes list.

that the four LEDs have dierent
meanings when the LS is on from
their meanings when the unit is
being charged. When the unit is
on, you’ll want to pay attention to
the upper left LED as it alerts you of
an immediate issue.
Anytime the TRIUMPHLS displays
this LED as red, press the warnings
key to learn more and take any
necessary corrective measures.
Help & Support
J-Field contains its own ever-growing on-board manual
with context sensitive help les for various screens. Press
the hardware Help button to learn more about each screen.
Contact information of the Live Technical Support team
members are listed in Support>Live Technical Support. You
are also encouraged to submit your feedback and questions
to the user’s forum located at http://support.javad.com.
Turning on The TRIUMPH-LS
Powering the TRIUMPHLS on is pretty straightforward
with the underlying operating system; Windows Embedded
Compact 7.0, loading rst and then J-Field
subsequently booting up.
There are occasions when the system
might freeze. Should you experience this,
simply depress the power key and hold
down until the unit powers o, about 10
seconds. Any data collected up to that point will be saved.
Charging the Batteries
The TRIUMPHLS AND VICTORLS come from the factory
with the batteries charged and ready to use so you can
begin exploring its interface and familiarizing yourself right
away while reading this manual.
Some of the cables and their
connectors used in charging
the equipment may not be
familiar to you. ODU style
connectors are superior for a
broad range of industrial
power, communications
and data applications
that demand a precision-
engineered, secure and
robust solution.
When charging your receiver, be sure to line up the red
dots on the connector and the charing port on the LS. Note
Lithium Ion batteries should not
and cannot be charged when
their temperature is above 40° C (104° F).
They charge faster when they are cool.
Therefore, it’s best that you turn o the
unit when charging. Charging the unit
when it’s on will cause it to charge more
slowly (up to 40° C) due to its increased
temperature.

Calibration
The TRIUMPHLS is an
advanced scientic surveying
instrument. It is highly
sensitive to its environment
and includes a built-in
magnetometer and 3-axis accelerometer.
For the visual stakeout features and the Ahead/Back
and Right/Left White Boxes in the Stake Action screen to
work correctly, the electronic compass readings need to
be accurate. It is recommended to check the compass
calibration before beginning work at a new location. To
check the calibration, rotate the TRIUMPH-LS 360° and
observe the compass readings in the Collect or Stake
Action screen. There should be no twitching, quick jumps,
or reversals of the displayed bearing or azimuth, just as a
real compass would perform. If this is not the case, the
compass needs to be recalibrated or it may not be in a
suitable environment for its use. Follow the instructions on
the screen to calibrate the compass. When calibrating the
compass, choose an area removed from overhead power
lines, parked automobiles and other ferrous materials which
cause magnetic disturbance. The electronic compass works
in areas that are electromagnetically uniform.
The Level calibration typically only needs to be preformed
once. Follow the instructions on the screen to calibrate the
level.
The level sensors are sensitive to the internal temperatures
of the TRIUMPHLS. To ne tune the level calibration, a
Level Oset calibration needs to be preformed. It is located
in the Action Setup menu. It is necessary to reperform this
calibration as the internal temperature of the TRIUMPHLS
changes. If the Correct For Tilts option is enabled and the
most accurate positions are desired, it is essential to monitor
the Level Oset calibration and recalibrate when necessary.
The Camera needs to be calibrated if you intend to use the
camera’s Visual Angle or Camera Oset Survey tools. This
only needs to be done once.
Updates
Keeping your TRIUMPHLS
up to date is nearly eortless;
however, you do need to
ensure that you have Internet
access in order to download the rmware and software
updates.
The TRIUMPHLS will automatically detect nearby WiFi
networks. To see the detected networks, as well as their
respective signal strength, tap on the WiFi icon in the top
row of icons on the Home screen and then at the bottom of
that screen tap on Network. Select the desired access point,
tap on Connect, enter the case sensitive password, if any,
and the connection should be established. Once
connected to a WiFi network it will be remembered
and added to the Favorites and the connection to it
will become automatic when it is detected.
If you do not have WiFi or for some reason are unable to
connect to it, but do have a wired local area network, you
can connect the TRIUMPHLS to your network using a cable
connected to the LAN port and your network interface card
or router. A wireless network can also be used if you have an
installed SIM card data plan with sucient data.
Once connected to the Internet, J-Field will automaticaly
check for updates. The Support button will be displayed

Points Screen Displaying Design Points
Each point record can have up to ve types of coordinates
that are displayed in the Edit Points screen:
• Design Coordinates - Imported and manually entered
coordinates are populated into this eld and stored in
the Project’s database le with their native coordinate
system as was selected when they were imported.
• Survey Coordinates - These are coordinates determined
from GNSS observation. All surveyed points are stored
with Survey Coordinates with WGS84 (ITRF 2008)
coordinates.
• Base Station Coordinates - When a point is surveyed
with RTK corrections, the base station coordinate is
saved.
• Survey Shifted Coordinates - When a point’s base
station coordinates have been adjusted or shifted, the
shifted survey coordinates are displayed along with
the unadjusted survey coordinates (Survey Origin).
• Base Station Shifted Coordinates - When a point’s base
station coordinates have been adjusted or shifted, the
shifted base station coordinates are displayed along
with the unadjusted base station coordinates (Base
Station Origin).

begin with the search string or contain it in the middle.
To search for a range of numbers use the format of
number1..number2. This format matches names which
contain numbers in range between number1 and number2
(in the position dened by switches). E.g. if you enter
3..9 (assuming all switches are on), it will match names 3,
Stake04a, Pt9, but not names 14 or Point19a.
The (Additional Actions) icon contains a list various
options, settings and functions related to the Points screen.
More information about the items contained in this menu
can be found in each of the actions’ Help screen. Of
particular interest are Settings and Cluster Average.
Settings has options to allow the Point Name, Code and
Description to all be displayed in the left panel of the Point
screen rather than just displaying the Point Name.
Cluster Average nds groups of points in a cluster and
creates an averaged point from the group.

Coordinate
Systems
The Coordinate Systems
screen allows you to quickly
access and create new
coordinate systems based on
the predened systems with just a tap on this icon.
It is important to note that this screen does not set the
current coordinate system for the Project. To change a
Project’s coordinate system choose Project>Edit Current
Project>Project Coordinate System in the Stake and Collect
Prepare screens. Each page in the Project can then also
have separate coordinate systems, set from the Page and
Coordinate System boxes in these screens.
Coordinate System Screen
Adding a State Plane Coordinate System
To add a new coordinate system that is currently not listed
in the Coordinate System screen when the All Project button
www.javad.com 16 Coordinate Systems
is selected at the top of the screen, tap the (Add)
button to open the Coordinate System Catalog.
Coordinate System Catalog Screen
When selecting a Regional system for your project from the
vast catalog, lter the choices to just those relative to your
geographic location by checking the Near Me box. Select
your Region, Country and type of coordinate system:

www.javad.com
17
Coordinate Systems
Select the appropriate Height System, Geoid, Input Epoch
and Transformation. The typical coordinate system
congurations for a US State Place Coordinate System is
shown:
For latitudes south of 42N, “Geoid12B CONUS South 42N”
should be chosen and for latitudes north of 40N, “Geoid12B
CONUS North 40N” should be chosen.
It is important to remember that GNSS distances measured
in State Place Coordinate Systems may not match measured
ground distances exactly and typically need to be scaled to
ground. For this reason you may wish to create an adjusted
grid-to-ground coordinate system. Alternatively, the CoGo
functions in J-Field have the ability to display and input
ground distances while still working in an unmodied State
Place Coordinate Systems (see the CoGo chapter of this
manual for more information).
Creating an Adjusted Grid-To-Ground
Coordinate System
With your state plane coordinate system selected in the
Coordinate System screen click the Additional Actions
button and tap Duplicate to create a copy of this
coordinate system. The duplicated system will be created
with the date appended to the end of its name:

www.javad.com 18 Coordinate Systems
Now highlight the duplicated system and tap the edit
icon and choose Adjust Grid-to-Ground & Rename:
Adjust Grid-to-Ground & Rename Screen
Tap the Default button to change the coordinate
system name to the default name:
Tap the position icon beside East Origin to set origin
point in the grid system for the transformation. Here the
base station coordinate is chosen from the points List:

www.javad.com
19
Coordinate Systems
By default the ground origin point will be populated with
the same coordinate and the Scale Dierence is populated
with the grid-to-ground scale factor calculated from that
point. The scale factor rounded to the nearest part-per-
million (ppm) is automatically appended to the coordinate
system name:
You may also wish to round the scale dierence to the
nearest ppm by tapping its button and entering that value.
In this screen options exist to enter a new factor as a Ratio
or Ppm:
The Factors button will allow you to use the CoGo Scale
Factor function to calculate a new scale factor if desired.
These settings will create an adjusted state plane coordinate
system scaled around the base station and the base station
coordinate will not change. This is useful for projects that
have ground distances as would be measured with a total
station and state plane coordinate system bearings since
the rotation is set to 0. The coordinates will be very close
to the real state plane system so that orthographic imagery
and state plane referenced contours or elevation models
can be loaded into your CAD drawings. You should be
cautious when giving these coordinates to others as they
may confuse them for real state plane coordinates. To
solve this problem you may wish to subtract 100,000 from
the North and East Ground coordinate values to create a
(100,000 100,000) oset from the real state plane system.
This can be done by tapping the North Ground and East
Ground boxes.
Tap the button to add the current project’s name to

Press OK and then Apply to create this coordinate system:
You can now use this coordinate system as the Project
Coordinate System or just for some Pages if you choose.
