71 3. Using System 500 without a Terminal Technical Reference Manual-4.0.0en
The Receiver and Antenna will
usually be mounted on a tripod or
pillar. Refer to Chapter 2 for details
of equipment set up and connec-
tions.
Measure the Antenna Height using
the Height Hook. Note this value
down. You will need to enter it into
SKI-Pro when you get back to the
office. You should also note the Point
Id and start and stop times.
A suggested form for recording
necessary data is given in section
3.5.
The Receiver needs to be configured
correctly before it will work. The
parameters that are especially
important for working without a
Terminal are in Occupation Settings.
Full details are given in Chapter 5.
3.1 Setting up the Equipment
Once the equipment is set up, switch
it on using the ON/OFF switch on the
Receiver.
The equipment will automatically
begin to acquire and track satellites
and record data as set up in the
Receiver configuration.
Wait at the point for the required time.
Note that the required observation
time does not begin until the Satellite
Status LED is constant green (see
next section). A list of approximate
observation times for Rapid Static
and Static baseline measurements is
given in Appendix B.

To shut down the equipment press
and hold the ON/OFF button for 3
