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/GS08plus/GS12/GS14/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/GS08plus/GS12/GS14/GS15 instrument and the adapter assembly slide
down the full length of the carrier stub. An incorrectly mounted GNSS
antenna/GS08plus/GS12/GS14/GS15 instrument will have a direct effect on the
results.
• GNSS antennas are AS05 or AS10. Procedures/setup can vary if AR10, AR20 or
AR25 is used.
If the instrument is left in the container during use in high temperatures, the lid should
be left open. Refer to the User Manual for operating and storage temperatures.
Use an external battery such as GEB171 to ensure operation for a full day.
