2.12 Equipment Setup - Real Time Rover, GIS Rover

Use

The TR500 is held in the hand with the hand pouch.
Connections are made from the Receiver to the GPS (or if
being used the combined GPS/DGPS antenna). Recom-
mended for long periods of use, for mainly GIS type data
collection surveys.

The setup described in the following pages assumes an
RTB or RTS module is being used (see also Appendix K
for further information on GIS applications).

You may also use the Real-Time GIS Rover setup with a
standard radio device but note the following differences:

1. With a standard radio device being used you will need a
separate radio antenna: attach the GAT1/GAT2 Radio
Antenna to the pole using the GAD33 Antenna Arm (see
the RT-Rover, All on Pole chapter for further illustration).

2. The RTB/ RTS module cable will not be needed then:
Connect the Radio antenna to the Radio modem housing
using the GEV141 1.2m Antenna Cable (see the RT-
Rover, Pole and Minipack chapter for further illustration).
