1. To GPS Antenna To Terminal 2 Set up and Connection The Next Steps If the Receiver has been pre pro grammed and the TR500 is being used further guidance is available in Chapter 7 If the Receiver requires programming with the TR500 further guidance is available in Chapter 5 2 Set up and Connection Ensure a dry plastic weather protection cap is fitted to the socket on the TR500 that is not connected to the sensor If moisture or water should appear in the socket that is not used on the TR500 allow the socket and plastic weather protection cap to dry naturally When using the upper pole halves with stub ensure that the Antenna and GAD31 screw stub adapter slide down the full length of the stub before tightening the locking ring An incorrectly mounted Antenna will have a direct effect on your re sults g Advice on using the Minipack is given in Section 2 10 Technical Reference Manual 2 0 0en 2 9 Equipment Setup Real Time Rover All on Pole Use The TR500 is mounted on the Receiver which is clipped to the grip Connections are made from the Receiver to the GPS and Radio Antennas Recommended for short periods of use especially where there are many obstacles fences etc Assumptions 1 GPS Antenna is mounted directly using screw fitting If using stub and GAD 31 adapter procedures may vary s
2. Interfaces An interface should be considered as a function of the sensor For example Real Time is one function that can be activated on the sensor Hidden Point is another function and so on system 500 supports the following interfaces Real Time Input Output Hidden Point Input NMEA Output Remote Control PPS Output Event Input Each interface may be controlled by one or more Devices a Appendix H Devices A device should be considered as both the hardware which is used in connection with an interface and the parameters that allow the hardware to comunicate with the sensor The devices that are supported by the sensor can be divided into the following groups RS232 Radio modem devices GSM Modem devices RTB Module CSI RTS Module Racal SAPOS Hidden Point devices Appendix H External Devices Certain devices may be used with one or more interfaces For example a radio modem can be used to receive Real Time Reference data buta second radio modem could also be used to simultaneously output NMEA messages Note The PPS Output and the Event Input are optional interfaces that require special hardware ports and devices which are not described here Please refer to the respective chapters in section 9 of this manual Technical Reference Manual 2 0 0en RS232 Port 1 2 and 3 of the Sensor are Enter a name and change the para standard RS232 interfaces If you are meters accordin
