RTK Rover Setup

Prerequisites

• Insert a freshly charged battery into the ProFlex 800.

• Use a range pole fitted with a 5/8” male adaptor at the

upper end (not provided).

• Mount the GNSS antenna at the top of the range pole.

• Connect coaxial cable P/N P076510A to the GNSS

antenna.

• If a radio link is used with the base, your rover should

normally have been fitted with the radio receiver kit that
matches the reception band covered by the radio
transmitter used at the base.

• If a GPRS connection is used, your rover should normally

have been fitted with the SIM card that will allow it to
perform a network connection.

To connect a SIM card, open the trapdoor and remove the
battery. The SIM card can be inserted in a dedicated
socket located at the bottom of the compartment. Insert
the SIM card as shown on the picture.

“Quick Release” cable (P/N P076500A) into the
backpack through one of the velcro flaps, then make it
run along the inner edge of the compartment, down to
where the rear panel of the receiver will be located
once placed in the backpack.
