Chapter2 NetS9 power and battery
NetS9 provides a stable external power while providing a built-in battery as UPS functions.
When plug into charger, the internal battery has automatic charging function; in the case of
external power failure, it can safely switch to the internal battery automatically and ensure
NetS9 stable operation for about 15 hours; similarly, when the external power supply is
restored, built-in battery-powered mode can automatically safely switch to external power
supply, then internal battery enter into the power storage state.
2.1 Ext power
The right to use an external power supply of NetS9 precedence over the built-in battery. Only
when the receiver is not connected to an external power supply or external power failure, the
internal battery will work.
For a receiver to work properly, the external power supply must provide 9V DC to 28V DC,
and the power must be greater than 5W. When external power is disconnected and the built-in
battery is exhausted, NetS9 will automatically shut down; when the power is restored, the
receiver automatically starts and its configuration parameters will be restored to pre-shutdown
state, and begin normal operation.
Warning: Do not place the external power adapter, its subsidiary plug, and cables to
outdoors or in damp places. Do not use an external power to supply power when
receiver works in a humid environment.
Warning: External power supply input voltage cannot exceed 28V DC, otherwise the
receiver will have a fatal injuries.

2.2 Battery safety
NetS9 uses built-in rechargeable Li-ion battery. When using the battery, please note:
Warnings：
a) If the battery discolors and leaks or has other undesirable phenomena, please do
not use;
b) Do not short circuit the battery, disassemble damaged, approaching heat or throw
in a fire, avoid direct sunlight;
c) Do not put the battery in water.
2.3 Battery charge & usage
The internal battery will automatically recharge when external power is used. Battery before
first use, please fully charged. If the battery is placed for three months without using, first
fully charged, then use it. It will take about 24 hours for full charge.
Warnings：
a) Do not charge the damage or leaking battery;
b) Do not disassemble the battery and charge alone.
2.4 Conserve battery
The battery should be fully charged before conservation;
If long-term conservation, please ensure to charge once every three months.

Chapter3 NetS9 configuration
SOUTH NetS9 provides a variety of ways to configure the parameters, Including buttons,
LCD, WIFI, Web Server, serial ports and Bluetooth. The button configuration and Web Server
are the most commonly used configuration methods. According to the actual situation of the
user to select the most efficient way to complete NetS9 parameter configuration.
3.1 Keys and LCD configuration
3.1.1 Key function
NetS9 front panel is as shown in figure 1-2, a total of eight buttons. Users can use these
buttons to switch on/off receiver, restart the receiver, view and modify the configuration
information, and so on.

3.1.2 LCD interface
After the completion of the system startup, LCD main interface will be displayed as shown in
figure 3-1. In the main interface mode, click this key . Users can access to the parameters
of the interface for base station to launch coordinate system and modifications of different
schemes. The parameters of base station are as shown in figure 3-2.Under the arbitrary
parameter interface; press the return key , returns to the main interface.
Fig. 3-1 LCD main interface
And the SV means visible satellite number; BAT means the built-in battery allowance; MB
means receiver memory capacity and the REC light keep flashing shows that NetS9 is
receiving and recording static data.

Fig. 3-2 parameters configuration interface
Then Start Base means start the base station mode, Diff Type means differential data type.
There are three kinds of base station start mode:
HERE：Using automatic repeat coordinates to start the base station
OFF：Manually start the base station
NEW：Using automatic single point coordinate to start the base station
Under the arbitrary parameter interface mode, if you need to modify the parameters, you can
press the button and modify the instrument parameters. At this time the cursor keeps
flashing, and then you can press the buttons to change the location of the cursor, the
button to modify the size of the parameter values. When these parameters all are
changed, if you press the button , it will save the data, the cursor disappears, the new
configuration information goes into effect and the instrument return to the interface of
Parameter Settings. If press the button , it will not save the data, the cursor disappears,
configuration information will restore and save previous information and the instrument
return to the interface of Parameter Settings. At the same time, you can continue to press the
button to view the other parameters. If you want to configure of base station start mode
and sent differential data information directly, the screen lights up when you press any key,

then you can press the button , it appears the interface . And you can
press the key two times uninterruptedly to switch the interface , When the
right triangle arrow moves toward to downside of Start Base, you can press the button
to switch different working modes; what is more, you can press the key to switch the
interface ,at the same time you can switch to send difference scheme of
configuration directly by pressing the button .
If without operating for a long time, the instrument will automatically closed LCD screen and
you can press any key to wake it up.
3.2 The Web Server configuration
When you enter the IP address of the NetS9 in IE browser, then you can access the Web
Server system and complete NetS9 parameter configuration.
3.2.1 Login Web Server through LAN
1. Use physical method to connect to the Internet
Users can use a network cable to connect the NetS9 to local PC. NetS9 also can be connected
to the local router or switch; we need make sure NetS9 with PC are in the same local area
network (LAN).
2. Login the Web Server and set NetS9 parameters

NET S9 user manual

Here NetS9 IP and local PC IP must be set to the same network segment. And you can enter
NetS9 IP address in the IE browser, we suppose that NetS9 IP is 192.168.4.24 and input it,
then we can enter the NetS9 Web Server system login page is as shown in figure 3-3.
Users can choose Chinese or English in the top right-hand corner of the login page through
the shortcut key; At the same time, the NetS9 provides the "help" shortcut keys, if the user
cannot login system or the system page is abnormal, they are available by clicking on the
login page in the top right corner of the "help" to get the solution.
