This manual uses the following icons, symbols and styles:
Sidebar notations
Cautionary alerts to prevent damage
to equipment or loss of data
Supplemental information
www.javad.com Indicates an active link in the PDF
The Quick Start Guide to the TRIUMPHLS should be
read and studied before reading this User Guide to the
TRIUMPHLS. This manual is intended to cover topics not
covered in the Quick Start Guide to the TRIUMPHLS.
This manual is also being rapidly released for new and
existing RTK surveyors that have purchased the TRIUMPH
LS eager to get up to speed and at work in the eld.
Accordingly, it is being released in stages of development
as new features get added and others further rened.
More detailed information on many subjects pertaining to
the use of the TRIUMPHLS can be found in the back of this
guide including trouble shooting and where to nd help.

Battery
Pack-1
Battery
Pack-2
When the TRIUMPHLS is powered o and is being charged,
the top (2) LEDs indicate the state of the (2) charged battery
packs and the bottom (2) LEDs indicate the rate of charge. If
the bottom LEDs are blinking yellow or red, it indicates that
temperatures are over 40° C and that charging will resume once
cooled. A complete charge takes about 5 hours when LS is cool.

BATTERY STATS
Charging the TRIUMPH-LS
When the TRIUMPHLS is turned o and charging, the four
LEDs will keep you apprised of its charging progress for
both of the individual battery packs as illustrated below.
As noted and shown below, all (4) green LEDs rst 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.
Monitoring the Temperatures and
Batteries
When the TRIUMPHLS is turned on and
not charging, the upper right and lower
left LEDs give you a quick indication as to
the status of the two battery packs. For
more detailed information regarding the
status of the two battery packs as well as
other internal conditions and behaviors during the previous
30 hours, tap on the battery icon or press the Battery
hardware key.

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
microSD Card Installation SIM
Use the provided high-speed microSD
card. Replace with Class 10 or better
While handling, take care not to damage
the circuitry printed on the underside of
the card
Use the provided tweezers to
install and remove these tiny
devices and to help mitigate
oily ngerprints on the contacts
Data Storage
In addition to the internal solid state data storage on
the TRIUMPHLS, you will also want to use the provided
microSD card as a backup for your eld data. Updates to the
system will automatically use the microSD card as a backup
if present.
Mobile Telecommunications
If you work in areas with good cell coverage that also
happen to have Real Time Network (RTN) services from
area base stations, you may wish to purchase a data plan
through your local telecommunications provider. Take care
to properly orient the SIM card as it will only work when it’s
been oriented as shown below.

WARNINGS!
Some warnings that are displayed may
be expected; for example, in the oce
with the TRIUMPHLS powered on and
near your computer you may receive a
warning about
High Interference!, or when you
rst receive your instrument,
there may be a warning that
level and compass calibrations
are necessary. Pay attention to the messages, even if they’re
expected. Did moving the receiver away from the computer
eliminate the High Interference! warning?
The TRIUMPHLS is a remarkably sensitive instrument to
your invisible environment and can help you stay alert to
problems as soon as they arise. Listen to it.
Sun screens
Sun screens were developed to improve
screen visibility when in very strong direct
sunlight. These alternative high contrast
screens are available anytime with a push
of a button.
Not every screen has three alter-
nate contrast settings though you’ll
still need to cycle through them
three times to return to the rst
screen setting. The Home screen is
such an example.

Introduction
reception of your base station’s corrections by the rover
can be enhanced using an external UHF antenna. Begin by
attaching the external antenna. In this image, we see the
2.5 dB gain antenna attached to the TRIUMPHLS.
For the purposes of this discussion it is assumed that you
have already attached the external UHF antenna, are in
the eld, 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.
Even when the external UHF antenna is attached, the default
internal UHF antenna will be used until you congure the LS
to behave otherwise. From the Home screen tap on the UHF
icon to bring up the UHF status screen. Notice the Received
Signal Strength Indicator’s (RSSI) value before proceeding
to tap Conguration, select External Antenna and tap OK.
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.
Attaching an External
Radio Antenna
When purchased with an internal UHF or FH915
radio, the TRIUMPHLS comes with an external
radio antenna.
Maintaining a Link
Quality (LQ) at or near
100% is crucial for
good performance
with the RTK system.
When doing RTK
surveying, the
The Correction Status button shown in the Stake and Collect
Action screens. When green, corrections are being received.
The bars above the icon graphically represent the RSSI while
the link quality is displayed below the icon. Tap to open the
UHF Status screen.

Timing
Tap on this icon to bring up
the dialog for setting how
time gets displayed in J-Field.
Alternatively, you can bring
up these settings by tapping
on the date and time that is displayed at the bottom of the
Home screens.
Time display is
an example of a
global setting. The
default global
setting is UTC,
but once you’ve
tapped on the
Local Time Zone
eld, set it to your
local time; e.g., UTC-4 for Eastern Daylight, J-Field will recall
that setting regardless of your Setup or Project.
Aside from knowing at a glance what time of day it is,
many les that J-Field writes are time-stamped including
screenshots, photos, and audio les which can be very
helpful during the job and well afterwards.
You can also schedule audible alarms for yourself, but don’t
forget to turn the sounds back on if you’ve set the volume
on mute.
It is also possible to schedule your survey to begin at a xed
moment in time; for example, this would be handy if you’re
coordinating multiple static sessions across a large area and
wanted them to all begin collecting data at the same time.
