1.2 Setting up as a Post-Processing Base
Use The equipment setups described following are to be used for static operations over
markers.
Description The instrument can be programmed with the CS field controller before use which can
then be omitted from the setup.
)• GNSS antenna/GS12 instrument/GS15 instrument is mounted directly using
screw fitting. If using stub and adapter, procedures can vary slightly.
• When using the adapter and carrier, ensure that the GNSS antenna/GS12 instru-
ment/GS15 instrument and the adapter assembly slide down the full length of
the carrier stub. An incorrectly mounted GNSS antenna/GS12 instrument/GS15
instrument will have a direct effect on the results.
• GNSS antennas are AS05 or AS10. Procedures/setup can vary if AR10, AR25 or
AT504 GG is used.
)If the instrument is left in the container during use in high temperatures, the lid
should be left open. Refer to the GS10/GS15 User Manual for operating and storage
temperatures.
)Use an external battery such as GEB171 to ensure operation for a full day.
