Introduction
KlauPPK 719 & 729 series is a survey grade GNSS solution designed for accurate
aerial mapping from drones and manned aircraft. The product is light weight,
designed to attach to many different drones using KlauPPK mounting solutions.
GNSS data is logged onto the micro SD card for later post-processing with survey
grade base station data. They system connects to various cameras to capture precise
shutter event timing in order to create accurate camera coordinates in post-
processing.
KlauPPK is intended to be used on drones with a specified mounting kit, or inside the
cabin in manned aircraft. The system is designed to be connected to a camera for
photogrammetric mapping applications.
Disclaimer
We strongly recommend that you remove aircraft propellers before installing any
Klau products.
To avoid any performance degradation or damage caused by imbalanced payloads,
please follow Klau Geomatics’ guides for correct installation.
As we are not able to control the end user's specific usage, installation, modification
(including the use of non-specified parts), and improper use. Direct or indirect
damage or injury caused by the behaviour above, our company will not cover any
loss and responsibility.

General Operation
•Run a base station on a known control point, logging GNSS data at 1 second
intervals. Measure height of antenna.
- Alternatively, you can use CORS data within 20km.
•Turn on your system by connecting one of the USB cables to the power.
•You should expect to see the Red “Power” LED illuminate. Once the
initialisation process has completed, the Blue “Data” LED will begin to flicker
indicating data is now being written to the micro SD card. If the LED flashes 3
times at 5 second intervals the card has failed and should be reformatted.
•The Green “GNSS” LED will illuminate when signals are being received from
5 or more satellites.
•Leave the system running continuously and stationary for at least 5 minutes.
•Fly the mission with your usual mission planner and flight control.
•After landing, allow the system to run for a few minutes undisturbed.
•The system can now be powered down and your data is ready to process with
the KlauPPK software.
To capture checkpoints coordinates: Centre the camera over your ground mark,
wait at least 2 minutes then take a photo.
Note: When performing a battery hot-swap ensure the fully charged battery is
connected before disconnecting the flat battery.
