GPS RTK Base GPS Receiver User Guide
• Make sure that the GPS receiver does not lose power. The GPS
receiver has an integrated battery, which has to be charged. To
operate for the full day without loss of power at the base station,
provide external power. Sources of external power include:
– AC power
– 12 V car or truck battery
– Generator power
– Solar panel
When you use an external power supply, the integrated battery
provides a backup power supply, enabling you to maintain
continuous operation through a mains power failure.
When the GPS receiver is connected to a power source greater
than 15 V, the integrated battery is continuously charged from the
connected power source. This helps to ensure that the battery
stays charged.
• Do not locate a GPS receiver, GPS antenna, or radio antenna
within 400 meters (about 1,300 feet) of:
– a powerful radar, television, or cellular communications
tower
– another transmitter
– another GPS antenna
Cell phone towers can interfere with the base station radio
broadcast and can stop corrections from reaching the rover
receiver. High-power signals from a nearby radio or radar
transmitter can overwhelm the receiver circuits. This does not
harm the receiver, but can prevent the receiver electronics from
functioning correctly.
Low-power transmitters, such as those in cell phones and two-
way radios, do not interfere with receiver operations.
