RT-3010 User Guide - Rev. E
If you desire to provide external power to the RT-3010,
you will need an optional NavCom External Power
cable (
P/N
94-310060-3010). Construction
specifications are detailed in Chapter 2 Interfacing.
GPS Sensor
The all in one construction of the
GPS
sensor allows it
to be mounted on a surveyor’s pole or any apparatus
via the female 5/8” thread mounting receptacle on the
bottom of the housing. (See Figure 2) The sensor
should be stored in its ruggedized storage case when
not in use. It should not be placed in a space where it
may be exposed to excessive heat, moisture, or
humidity.
There should be an unobstructed view of the sky above
a 10-degree
elevation mask
for optimum
GPS
satellite
visibility for
RTK
use. Any obstructions above the
horizon should be mapped using a compass and
clinometer and used in satellite prediction software with
a recent satellite
almanac
to assess the impact on
satellite visibility at that location. Potential sources of
interference should be avoided where possible. Example
interference sources include overhead power lines, radio
transmitters and nearby electrical equipment.
There are no user serviceable parts inside the RT-3010
GPS
sensor. Opening the unit will compromise the
environmental seal and will void the equipment
warranty.
