Description and
Operation
Introduction
TRIUMPH-3 is the most advanced GNSS receiver
with an integrated antenna. It is based on our latest
generation 864 channel chip and capable to track
all existing and future GNSS signals. Additionally
TRIUMPH-3 is equipped with the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
modules, the internal 4G/LTE/3G card (optional), UHF
transceiver (optional), easy accessible microSD and
microSIM cards, USB and Ethernet ports.
Figure 1. TRIUMPH-3
TRIUMPH-3 can receive and processes multiple sig-
nal types (including the latest GPS C/A, P1, P2, L2C
(L+M); GLONASS C/A, L2C, P1, P2; SBAS L1) improv-
ing the accuracy and reliability of your survey points
and positions, especially under diicult jobsite con-
ditions.
Several other features, including multipath miti-
gation and common tracking, provide under-canopy
and low signal strength reception. The TRIUMPH-3
receiver provides the functionality, accuracy, avail-
ability, and integrity needed for fast and easy data
collection .
When calculating an absolute position, a stationary
or moving receiver determines its three-dimensional
position with respect to the origin of an Earth-Center
Earth-Fixed coordinate system. To calculate this po-
sition, the receiver measures the distance (called
pseudoranges) between it and at least four satellites.
The measured pseudoranges are corrected for clock
dierences (receiver and satellites) and signal prop-
agation delays due to atmospheric eects. The posi-
tions of the satellites are computed from the ephem-
eris data transmitted to the receiver in navigation
messages. When using a single satellite system, the
minimum number of satellites needed to compute
a position is four. In a mixed satellite scenario (GPS,
GLONASS, Galileo), the receiver must lock onto five or
more satellites to account for the dierent time scales
used in these systems and to obtain an absolute po-
sition.
Achieving quality position results requires the fol-
lowing elements:
Accuracy – The accuracy of a position primari-

8 www.javad.com
ly depends upon the satellite geometry (Geometric
Dilution of Precision, or GDOP) and the measurement
(ranging) errors.
– Dierential positioning (DGPS and RTK) strong-
ly mitigates atmospheric and orbital errors, and
counteracts Selective Availability (SA) signals the US
Department of Defense transmits with GPS signals.
– The more satellites in view, the stronger the sig-
nal, the lower the DOP number, the higher position-
ing accuracy.
Availability – The availability of satellites aects
the calculation of valid positions. The more visible
satellites available, the more valid and accurate the
position. Natural and man-made objects can block,
interrupt, and distort signals, lowering the number
of available satellites and adversely aecting signal
reception.
Integrity – Fault tolerance allows a position to have
greater integrity, increasing accuracy. Several factors
combine to provide fault tolerance, including:
– Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM)
detects faulty GNSS satellites and removes them from
the position calculation.
– Five or more visible satellites for only GPS or only
GLONASS; six or more satellites for mixed scenarios.
– Satellite Based Augmentation Systems (WAAS,
EGNOS, etc.) creates and transmit, along with DGPS
corrections, data integrity information (for example,
satellite health warnings).
– Current ephemerides and almanacs.

Warning: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incor-
rect type. Dispose of used battery according to the instructions.
Warning: Before beginning to work, fully charge the bat-
teries for maximum operating time. An approximately 6-hour
charge cycle will fully charge the batteries; the batteries will
charge simultaneously. The batteries can not be overcharged.
CAUTION: RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY
AN INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING
TO THE INSTRUCTIONS
Warning: The Li-Ion batteries used in the battery packs
should run at no less than 80% capacity aer 500 charging cy-
cles. These batteries do not need to be drained before recharg-
ing.
Warning: Never attempt to open the casing of the detach-
able batteries! Lithium-Ion batteries can be dangerous if mis-
handled!
Warning:
Warning: Do not incinerate or heat battery pack above 212
degrees Fahrenheit (100 degrees Celsius). Excessive heat can
cause serious damage and possible explosion.

Warning: Do not charge in conditions dierent than speci-
fied.
Warning: Do not use other than the specified battery char-
ger.
Warning: Do not short circuit the battery pack.
Warning: Do not crush or modify the battery pack.
Power supply requirements
The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equip-
ment and shall be easily accessible.
A single external power supply with 5 pin ODU
connector or SAE connector is necessary to operate
TRIUMPH-3. If external power supply has only SAE
connector, Receiver-to-SAE power cable shall be
used. The external power supply needs to be Listed
for US and Certified for EU countries, it needs also to
be a Limited Power Source and have an output rated
for 10...40 V DC, 6A. This may not be the same range as
other JAVAD GNSS products with which you are famil-
iar. To avoid the introduction of hazards when oper-
ating and installing, before connecting of the equip-
ment to the supply, make sure that the supply meets
local and national safety ordinances and matches the
equipment’s voltage and current requirements.
Figure 2. Power supply / Charger
Warning: Never attempt any maintenance or cleaning of the
supply while plugged in. Always remove supply from AC power
before attempting service or cleaning.
If the voltage supplied is below the minimum spec-
ification, the receiver will suspend operation. If the
voltage supplied is above the maximum specification,
the receiver may be permanently damaged, voiding
your warranty.
Make sure cords are located so that will not be
stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to
damage or stress. Do not operate equipment with a
damaged cord or plug – replace immediately. To re-
duce the risk of damage to the equipment, pull by the
plug body rather than the output cord when discon-
necting the equipment.
Warning: Do not operate the supply if it has received a sharp
blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged. Do not disassem-
ble the supply.
Before connecting the external power source and
the receiver, make sure that the power source match-
es the receiver’s voltage and current requirements.
The TRIUMPH-3 comes 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.
To check the status of the internal batteries, view
the BAT LED or check the status using JAVAD GNSS
soware.
When the TRIUMPH-3 is turned o and charging,
the four LEDs will keep you apprised of its charging
progress for both of the individual battery packs.
All (4) green LEDs first appear at 90%. Interrupting
the charging and then resuming will have no eect
until the discharged state is less than 8 volts. To reach
maximum charge, allow an additional 20 minutes
once all green is seen.
To charge the receiver internal batteries, take the
following steps:
• Plug the Receiver-to-SAE cable’s connector into
the power port of the receiver .
• Connect the opposite end of this cable with the
battery charger’-s SAE connector.
• Plug the other end of this cable into an AC outlet
with cable. Leave overnight.
Data Storage and Mobile
Telecommunications
In addition to the internal solid state data storage
on the triumph-ls, you will also want to use the pro-
vided microSD card as a safeguard for your field data
as well as when you install updates. Updates to the
system will automatically use the microSD card as a
backup if present.

12 www.javad.com
MicroSD
Usetheprovidedhigh-speedmicroSDcard. Replace
with Class 10 or better.
MicroSIM
If you work in areas with good cell coverage that
also happen to have Real Time Network (RTN) ser-
vices from area base stations, you may wish to pur-
chase a data plan through your local telecommuni-
cations provider. Take care to properly orient the SIM
card as it will only work when it’s been oriented as
shown below.
The SIM card slot allows a standard microSIM card
to be installed in the receiver. Once installed, the
SIM card provides a unique identification for the re-
ceiver’s GSM module and enables the receiver’s GSM
functionality based on the subscribed services (the
receiver board accesses the GSM module which ac-
cesses the SIM card). The SIM card usually remains
inside the receiver.
Cards Installation
Use the special tweezers to install and remove
these tiny devices and to help mitigate oily finger-
prints on the contacts.
• Align the card exactly as it is shown on the rubber
port cover.
• Insert the card with the leading edge exactly as
shown on the rubber port cover
• Fully insert the card into the recess .
• These are Push-Push style card slots; to remove
the card, fully insert the card again.
Data and power ports
• Power –is used to connect the receiver to an ex-
ternal power source. This port can also be used to
charge the batteries.
• Serial – is used for communication between the
receiver and an external device.
• Ethernet - is used to connect the receiver to local
network.
• USB – is used for high-speed data transfer and
communication between the receiver and an ex-
ternal device.
Attaching an external UHF/
GSM antenna
Depending upon which options you chose when
you purchased your TRIUMPH-3, the type of exter-
nal UHF antenna shown in this discussion may dier
from yours, but the procedure presented will remain
the same.
When doing RTK surveying, the reception of your
base station’s corrections by the rover can be en-
hanced using an external UHF antenna. Begin by at-
taching the external antenna. In this image, we see
the 2.5 dB gain antenna (30-597161-01) attached to
the Triumph-ls.
For the purposes of this discussion it is assumed
that you have already attached the external UHF an-
tenna, are in the field, the LS is powered on, that it’s
setup as the RTK rover, the RTK base is on and the
UHF radio is broadcasting corrections.
Anytime the UHF communications are interrupted;
such as in this example, it will take a few seconds up
to a minute or so for them to be reestablished.
Option Authorization File
(OAF)
JAVAD GNSS issues an Option Authorization File
(OAF) to enable the specific options that customers
purchase. An Option Authorization File allows cus-
tomers to customize and configure the TRIUMPH-3
receiver according to particular needs, thus only pur-
chasing those options needed.
Typically, all TRIUMPH-3 receivers ship with a tem-
porary OAF that allows the receiver to be used for a
predetermined period of time. When the receiver is
purchased, a new OAF activates desired, purchased
options permanently. Receiver options remain intact
when clearing the NVRAM or resetting the receiver.

umentation for more detailed connection information.
In general, the connection procedure with PC is as fol-
lows:
1. Turn on a Bluetooth®-enabled PC and your receiv-
er. The default external device mode is Master; the re-
ceiver’s Bluetooth® module mode is Slave.
2. Instruct the external device (Master) to search for
the receiver (Slave).
3. Once the Master device detects the receiver, use
the procedure described in the external device’s doc-
umentation to connect it with the receiver.
4. Start NetView, select SER as type of connection
mode, and specify the port the receiver is connected
to.

Configuring the Receiver
Both Base and Rover receivers must be configured
according to the desired survey method.
• In applications where real-time positioning re-
sults are required, the Base receiver provides the
correction information needed to properly cal-
culate the location of the Rover receiver. A Base
station is normally set up over a known point and
collects GPS/GLONASS data from satellites. As the
receiver picks up satellite data, it measures the
carrier and code phases to accurately compute
and verify its location. Then, the receiver transmits
this information via radio (UHF or GSM) to the Rov-
er receiver.
• The Rover receiver applies correction informa-
tion from the Base station to its current location
to accurately calculate one or more points. Rovers
are mobile GNSS receivers on a survey pole or bi-
pod that compares the information from the Base
station to the data it logs from satellites and ap-
plies correction algorithms to accurately calculate
a new point.
• In applications intended for post-processing, the
receivers typically log code phase and/or carrier
phase measurements separately from common
satellites and during the same time interval. This
data is then processed using post-processing so-
ware (for example, Justin).
When configuring receivers for RTK surveying, use
the following list to ensure the receivers are properly
set up:
• Configure one receiver as an RTK Base station
and the other receiver as an RTK Rover.
• Configure the communication data link for trans-
mitting and receiving corrections.
• Set up the Base receiver over a known point to
begin collecting static observation data and trans-
mitting corrections. Set up the Rover receiver to
begin collecting RTK data.
When configuring receivers for post-processing
surveying, use the following list to ensure the receiv-
ers are properly set up:
• Configure one receiver as a Base station and the
other receiver as a Rover.
• Set up the Base receiver over a known point to
begin collecting static observation data. Set up the
Rover receiver to begin collecting static or kine-
matic observation data.
Both Base and Rover receivers must be configured
according to the desired survey method.
In applications where real-time positioning results
are required, the Base receiver provides the correc-
tion information needed to properly calculate the lo-
cation of the Rover receiver. A Base station is normally
set up over a known point and collects GPS/GLONASS
data from satellites. As the receiver picks up satellite
data, it measures the carrier and code phases to ac-
curately compute and verify its location. Then, the
receiver transmits this information via radio (UHF or
GSM) to the Rover receiver.
The Rover receiver applies correction information
from the Base station to its current location to accu-
rately calculate one or more points. Rovers are mo-
bile GNSS receivers on a survey pole or bipod that
compares the information from the Base station to
the data it logs from satellites and applies correction
algorithms to accurately calculate a new point.
In applications intended for post-processing, the
receivers typically log code phase and/or carrier
phase measurements separately from common satel-
lites and during the same time interval. This data is
then processed using post-processing soware (for
example, Justin).
The following Base and Rover configurations are
recommended for the most common applications.
However, you can select configuration parameters as
needed for your particular jobsite.

late the base station’s carrier phase measurements
when computing the rover’s current RTK position.
If Delay is selected, the rover will not extrapolate
the base station’s carrier phase measurements to
compute the current rover position. Instead, the
RTK engine will compute either a delayed RTK po-
sition (for the epoch to which the newly received
RTCM/CMR message corresponds) or the current
stand-alone position (while waiting for new RTCM/
CMR messages coming from the base).
• Confidence Level for Ambiguity – list box governs
the process of the RTK engine fixing integer ambi-

to the indicator’s 95%, 99.5% and 99.9% states,
respectively. The higher the specified confidence
level, the longer the integer ambiguity search time.
This is the price one pays for the higher reliability
of the ambiguity fixed solution.

Setup and survey
Aer configuring the receivers for surveying, each
receiver needs to be setup up and the receiver’s height
measured and the survey can begin. The MinPad pro-
vides quick access for logging data, changing receiver
modes, and viewing general data logging and satel-
lite information during a survey.
A typical GPS survey system consists of a Base sta-
tion set up over a known point and a Rover receiver
set up to be a mobile data collector. Aer setting up
the Base and Rover receivers, the antenna height
must be measured.
Before collecting data, make sure the Base and
Rover receivers contain a current almanac and cur-
rent ephemeris data.
The Base station must be set up, logging data, and
transmitting data before setting up the Rover receiv-
er. Receiver setup for either post-process or RTK sur-
veys is the same.
Measure Antenna Height
The location of the antenna relative to the point
being measured is very important for both surveys in
which the elevation of the points is important and in
surveys for horizontal location only. Horizontal sur-
veys are oen larger in area than can reliably fit on a
flat plane, therefore the antenna adjustment must be
done in three dimensions and then projected onto a
two dimensional plane.
The receiver calculates the coordinates of the an-
tenna’s phase center. To determine the coordinates of
the station marker, the user must specify the follow-
ing:
• Measured height of the antenna above the sta-
tion marker
• Method of measuring the antenna height
• Model of the antenna used
Antennas have two types of measurements:
• Vertical – measured from the marker to the an-
tenna reference point (ARP) located on the bottom
of the receiver at the base of the mounting threads.
• Slant – measured from the marker to the lower
edge of the antenna slant height measure mark
(SHMM) located on both end panels of the receiver.
The point to which surveying with GNSS measures
is called the Phase Center of the antenna. This is anal-
ogous to the point at which a distance meter mea-
sures in a prism. A user must enter the prism oset to
compensate for this point not being at a physical sur-
face of the prism. For a GNSS antenna, the oset is en-
tered depending on the type of measurement taken.
For vertical, the oset is simply added to the mea-
sured vertical height to produce a “true” vertical
height.
For slant height, the vertical height must first be
calculated using the radius of the antenna, then the
oset can be added.
The osets are dierent because of the dierence
in location between the slant measuring point and
the vertical measuring point.
Measure the antenna height above the control
point or marker, either the slant height or the vertical
height.
Record the antenna height, point name, and start
time in the field notes
To start survey TRIUMPH-3 should be set up on a
tripod or in a pole. TRIUMPH-3 has 5/8” mount to con-
nect to monopod, to tripod or to surveying pole.
Collecting data
See the remaining sections in this chapter for more
information on collecting data.
• Turn on the receiver.
• Once the receiver has locked on to eight or more
satellites the SAT light will green.
• A red color of POS LED indicates that the receiver
has not solved a position. Four or more satellites

18 www.javad.com
provide optimal positioning.
• Once the red POS LED is green, the receiver has
a position and surveying can begin; wait for green
light before beginning data collection. This en-
sures that the receiver has the correct date and
time, and is locked on to enough satellites to en-
sure good quality data.
• The process of locking on to satellites normally
takes less than one minute. In a new area, under
heavy tree canopy, or aer resetting the receiver, it
may take several minutes.
• To begin collecting data, press and hold the Re-
cord button (for more than one second and less
than five seconds).
• Release the Record button when the REC (record-
ing) LED turns green. This indicates that a file has
opened and data collection has started. The REC
LED blinks each time data is saved to the internal
memory.
When finished, press and hold the Record button
until the REC LED light goes out.
To turn o the receiver, press and hold the power
key until all lights go out, then release.
Static Surveying for Base Stations
Static surveying is the classic survey method, well
suited for all kinds of baselines (short, medium, long).
At least two receiver antennas, plumbed over survey
marks, simultaneously collect raw data at each end of
a baseline during a certain period of time. These two
receivers track four or more common satellites, have
a common data logging rate (5–30 seconds), and the
same elevation mask angles. The length of the obser-
vation sessions can vary from a few minutes to sev-
eral hours. The optimal observation session length
depends on the surveyor’s experience as well as the
following factors:
• The length of the baseline measured
• The number of satellites in view
• The satellite geometry (DOP)
• The antenna’s location
• The ionospheric activity level
• The types of receivers used
• The accuracy requirements
• The necessity of resolving carrier phase ambigu-
ities
Generally, single-frequency receivers are used for
baselines whose lengths do not exceed 15 kilometers
(9.32 miles). For baselines of 15 kilometers or greater,
use dual-frequency receivers.
Dual-frequency receivers have two major benefits.
First, dual frequency receivers can estimate and re-
move almost all ionospheric eect from the code and
carrier phase measurements, providing much greater
accuracy than single-frequency receivers over long
baselines or during ionospheric storms. Secondly,
dual-frequency receivers need far less observation
time to reach the desired accuracy requirement.
Aer the survey completes, data the receivers col-
lect can be downloaded onto a computer and pro-
cessed using post-processing soware (for example,
JAVAD GNSS Justin).
Kinematic (Stop & Go) Surveying for Rover
Stations
In a kinematic, stop and go survey, the stationary
receiver (Base station) is set up at a known point such
as a survey monument, or an unknown point. The re-
ceiver continually tracks satellites and logs raw data
into its memory. The Rover receiver is set up at an
unknown point and collects data in static mode for
2 to 10 minutes. When finished, assign the Rover to
kinematic status and move to the next survey point.
At this point, and each subsequent point, the receiv-
er is changed to static mode to collect data. So, while
moving, the Rover is in kinematic mode, and while
collecting data, the Rover is in static mode.
• Set up the Rover at an unknown point and press
power. Allow the Rover to collect static data for
two to ten minutes. The REC LED will be yellow.
• Check the SAT light for satellites tracked.
• When finished, press the FN button for less than
1 second to assign the Rover to kinematic.
• Move the Rover to the next location (survey
point), and press the FN button for less than a sec-
ond to collect the data in static mode for two to ten
minutes.
• Repeat steps five and six until all points have
been surveyed. The occupation time for the points
depends on the same factors as for the static sur-
vey method.
• When finished, press the FN button for one to five
seconds to stop logging data. Turn o the Rover if
needed. This method of GNSS survey allows the
operator to reduce the point occupation time, thus
permitting field crews to survey many more points
compared to the other methods available.

Real Time Kinematic Surveying
With RTK surveying, as with kinematic surveying
described above, one receiver serves as the reference
station and conducts observations with its antenna
aixed to a stationary tripod or some other device.
The other receiver functions as a rover and conducts
observations (using an antenna) aixed to a mobile
pole and moved to observation points.
Unlike post-processed kinematic surveys, RTK sur-
veys utilize a communications link between the Base
and Rover. Using a radio modem link, the Base receiv-
er transmits its measurement and location data to
the Rover receiver. The Rover, based on the transmit-
ted data and its own observation data, immediately
conducts a baseline analysis and outputs the results.
Usually, the receiver will start to output the coor-
dinates of the antenna’s phase center along with the
solution type within 10–30 seconds. However, UHF ra-
dios and GSM phones may take as long as 60 seconds
to synchronize. The geodetic coordinates displayed
on the Location tab are always computed in WGS84
and have four solution types.
• Standalone – where the receiver computes 3D
coordinates in autonomous mode without using
dierential corrections.
• Code dierential – where the Rover receiver com-
putes the current relative coordinate in dierential
mode using only pseudo ranges.
• RTK float – where the Rover receiver computes
the current relative coordinates in dierential
mode using both pseudo ranges and phases; how-
ever, with a float solution, the phase ambiguity is
not a fixed integer number and the “float” estimate
is used instead.
• RTK fixed – where the Rover receiver computes
current relative coordinates, with ambiguity fixing,
in dierential mode. The LQ field reflects the status
of the received dierential messages and contains
the following information:
• Data link quality in percentage
• Time (in seconds) elapsed since the last received
message
• Total number of received correct messages (depen-
dent on the message type received)
• Total number of received corrupt messages (de-
pendent on the message type received)
• If the receiver is not (for some reason) receiving dif-
ferential corrections, or if none of the ports has been
configured to receive dierential corrections, the
LQ field will either be empty or it will look like this:
100%(999,0000,0000).
Receiver and File
Maintenance
If post-processing the data aer completing a mea-
suring, the data in the receiver’s memory will need
to be downloaded to a computer. Downloading and
deleting files will also prepare the receiver’s memory
for the next measuring. Occasionally, the receiver’s
NVRAM may need to be cleared to eliminate commu-
nication or tracking problems. As project expectations
expand, the receiver’s OAF may need to be updated
to provide expanded operation and functionality. The
receiver requires firmware to properly operate and
provide appropriate functionality. As JAVAD GNSS re-
leases firmware updates, loading these updates into
the receiver will ensure that the receiver operates at
its full potential.
Deleting Files and Downloading Files to a
Computer
When your measuring finishes, you can down-
load your measuring files to a computer for storage,
post-processing, or backup. Also, the DELTA memo-
ry holds a finite amount of files and information, so
downloading the files to a computer ensures that no
files are lost. You should download files as soon as
possible aer collecting data at the jobsite. NetView
provides a File Manager to download files to your
computer and delete files from the receiver DELTA.
Connect your receiver and computer. Start NetView.
Establish connection between NetView and receiver.
Click File on the le panel. On the right panel ap-
pears the list of files, saved in receiver’s memory.
Select the file(s) to download:

unique to each receiver.
Clearing the NVRAM
The receiver’s Non-Volatile Random Access Memory
(NVRAM) holds data required for satellite tracking,
such as almanac and ephemeris data, and receiver
position. The NVRAM also keeps the current receiv-
er’s settings, such as active antenna input, elevation
masks and recording interval, and information about
the receiver’s internal file system.
Even though clearing the NVRAM is not a common
(nor normally a recommended) operation, there
are times when clearing the NVRAM can eliminate
communication or tracking problems. Clearing the
NVRAM in your receiver can be interpreted as a “so
boot” in your computer. Aer clearing the NVRAM,
your receiver will require some time to collect new
ephemerides and almanacs (around 15 minutes).
Clearing the NVRAM of your receiver will not delete
any files already recorded in your DELTA’s memory.
However, it will reset your receiver settings to factory
default values.
In addition, the NVRAM keeps information about
the receiver file system. Note that aer clearing the
NVRAM, the receiver’s SAT LED will flash yellow for a
few seconds indicating that the receiver is scanning
and checking the file system.
Using MinPad to Clear NVRAM
