Getting started with the new Survey equipment
The antenna mounting point should
have a 5/8" thread and an unambigu-
ous reference point both horizantally
and vertically to which the antenna
phase centre can be referenced to.
The equipment should ideally be in a
secure location with a reliable power
supply. An uninterruptable power
supply with sufficient backup capacity
for the local power conditions is
recommended. The equipment
should be protected against lightning
or static electrical discharge as
discussed further within the Safety
Directions of this manual.
Connect the antenna to the sensor
using the supplied antenna cable.
Kinks, cut and crushed areas of the
antenna cable may degrade signal
quality and strength. It is recom-
mended that the antenna cable be
protected from long term damage.
Connect a 12VDC power supply to
the PWR port of the RS500, or insert
the internal camcorder batteries for
short term operation.
For general configurations, system
data transfers from/to the PC card
and viewing status information attach
the TR500 terminal to the sensor,
either directly or via a connection
cable by plugging it into the TERMI-
NAL port on the sensor.
For configuration and operation like
data logging and real time data
transmission connect the sensor to a
PC using the data cable (Art. No. 560
254). The PC should be running an
appropriate application program such
as Leica Geosystems
ControlStation™.
Insert a PC-card into the sensor, if no
internal memory option is installed.
Lock the lid carefully after
insertion of the card in order
to prevent water and dust
from getting inside the
sensor.
Use the hook on the backside of the
sensor to hang it on one of the tripod
legs or leave the sensor inside the
shipping case. The mounting bracket
(Art. No. 722 105) may be used to
attach the RS500 receiver firmly to a
bench, table or wall.
Your RS500 sensor is now fully ready
for operation.
See Fig. RS.01 for a basic connection
scheme.
