Chapter I: A brief introduction of S82V

Chapter I : A brief introduction of S82V

The SOUTH S82V is a RTK GNSS receiver, built for precision, reliability and user friendliness. S82V is able to receive GPS signals, and also satellite signals from GLONASS and GALILEO. The S82V main receiver unit is integrated with GNSS antenna interface, GNSS module, UHF radio interface, receiving radio antenna, GSM/GPRS modem and Bluetooth device to facilitate working convenience for the user. The S82V receiver is lightweight and sturdy, and designed for rugged usage. The receiver housing is waterproof and dustproof, and built with superior material to withstand long lasting operation in the field. Advanced data-transfer radio technology is used in the S82V: the bit error rate (BER) is 10-7 and the radio collision problem is significantly reduced. The UHF antenna is designed both to reduce interference and for compactness. At the same time, S82V has a GPRS/GSM module which supports different core RTK technologies (VRS, FKP, etc.). This allows the SOUTH S82V receiver to cater for different surveying applications. When configured as a rover, it can be used as a static double frequency receiver or in a RTK configuration, where differential corrections are received by CORS via GSM/GPRS data modem (maximum range 70 km) or by another S82V receiver acting as base, linked by GSM/GPRS data modem or UHF radio modem. The S82V in base configuration can employ internal radio or external radio in addition to using a GPRS set up for communication with the rovers and/or CORS station. The embedded receiver firmware can customize different RTK software for different applications. The data transfer process is a very convenient one. You could contact export@southsurvey.com for any enquiries pertaining to the S82V.

III.1 Introduction to radios
Pacific Crest is the leading provider of high-performance data links for the Geomatics industry based on the acceptance of its communications protocols as the standard for RTK surveying. The external radios are high speed wireless semi-manual data transfer radios whose baud rate can reach 19200bps, which is used in S82V GNSS RTK GPS system. These radios adopt GMSK adjust mode, and they have a very low bit error rate (BER). They adopt a transparent mode to transfer data to the RTK GPS system. The data transfer interface of radios is the standard RS-232 interface (serial port); it can do data transferring with any terminal equipment which has RS-232. They adopt advanced wireless booting technology, data processing technology and base band processing technology which ensures a long operational life. There are three frequency ranges for PDL radios, 410-430MHZ, 430-450MHZ and 450-470MHZ. The eight radio channels and relative frequency are listed in the following table:

Rate Channels 1 channel 2 channel 3 channel 4 channel 5 channel 6 channel 7 channel 8 channel

Chapter III: S82V external radio

Note: its better to use the low power option. The high power option will consume twice the power

III.3 Notices for PDL

The specification of power supply is as follows: PDL radio power input is 9-16V (typical is 13.8V), the RF power is 35W, the current is lower than 7.1A (when power is 13.8V) Before switching on the PDL radio, you should check whether the anode and cathode are connected correctly, if they are reversed, it will damage the radio. Using a 35W radio will add the consumption of battery, usually the 15W is enough, if the interference is strong, then you can select the 35W.

to confirm the choosing of built-in radio communication mode. When SAT is lit, press P key to confirm the choosing of GSM communication mode. When PWR is lit, press P key to confirm the choosing of external radio communication mode. Base mode Keep pressing P+F keys and wait for six lights flashing at the same time, then press F key to choose the working mode: press P key when BT is lit to choose the working mode of base. Waiting for several seconds and then keep pressing F key for about 5 seconds, after the second beep release F key , press F key to choose the communication mode. When DL is lit, press P key to confirm the choosing of internal transmit mode. When PWR is lit, press P key to confirm the choosing of GSM transmit mode. press P key to confirm the choosing of external radio transmit mode. Static mode Keep pressing P+F keys and wait for six lights flashing at the same time, then press F key to choose the working mode, press P key when the BAT is lit to choose the static mode. When you next turn on the receiver ,the working mode is the last selected mode. If preferred, you can set the parameters of receiver with handheld both for the working mode and for lit. But you cannot switch from one mode to another. For instance the rover parameters includes: sampling interval, mask angle, antenna height, maximum accepted PDOP value. Without using the controllers the receiver works with default parameters. The static mode parameters cannot be selected by the controller, but only modifying the file config.ini on receiver hard disk (see paragraph V.4).

V.3

Operation of LEDs
Static mode

The data link and power LEDs will remain lit during operation. When there are sufficient satellites, the receiver will start recording epochs, the status indicator LED will flash according to sampling interval (the default is 5 seconds) and the satellite LED will flash a number of times equal to the located satellites.

29

Chapter V: S82V Operations

Base mode After setting up the mode, power on the mainframe, the base will enter the transmit mode 1.PDOP<2.5; 2.the satellite amount>8 and PDOP<4.5, the base will enter the transmit status, the data link flash twice every five seconds, the status indicator light flash every one second means the base transmit normal, the interval is 1 second. If you need to change the interval, or reset the transmit condition, you should connect the handheld with receiver by cable or Bluetooth firstly. Rover mode Bluetooth and power LED will remain lit during operation. The satellite LED will blink according to the number of satellites as described for static mode. Data link LED will blink with the frequency of 1 second, while Status light will blink with a frequency of about 5 seconds.

V.4

How to design net

The net design mainly subject to the users requirement, but outlay, time interval of observation, type of receiver and the receiver amount, etc also relate to the net design. In order to satisfy the users requirement, we should keep the principle as follows: 1. GPS net normally forms closed graph by independent observation borders, such as triangle, polygon or connecting traverse, etc, to add checking conditions and to improve the net consistency. 2. When designing the net, the net point should be superposition with the original ground net points. The superposition points are generally no less than three and distribute evenly on the net in order to ensure the changing parameters between GPS net and local net. 3. GPS net point should be superposition with the level points, and the other points are normally unitedsurveyed with level surveying way or the equivalent way. You can also set some level unitedsurveying points in order to offer geoids information. 4. In order to observe and level united survey, we often set GPS net points at a clear and easy arriving field. 5. We often distribute some well eyeshot azimuth points around GPS net to ensure united survey direction. The distance from azimuth to observation station should be more than 300 meters.

30

Chapter V: S82V Operations

According to different purpose of GPS surveying, independent observation borders of GPS net should compose definite geometry graph. The basic graphs are as follows: 1. Triangle net The triangle in GPS net is composed of independent observation borders, it has strong geometry structure and well self-checking ability, it can also find out the coarse difference of result and to share the difference to each baseline with adjustment. But this net need a lot of observation, especially when receivers are lacking it will greatly prolong the observation time. So only when accuracy and security are required very high, and receivers are more than three, we can use this graph, see fig 5-3. 2. Circle net Circle net is composed of many loops which are formed of many independent observation borders. This net is similar with one of the classical surveying-- lead net. Its structure is a little worse than triangle net. The amount of baselines in closed loop decides the self--checking ability and consistency. General speaking, the amount of baselines has such limit as follows: The advantage of circle net is the small workload, good self-checking and consistency. But the main disadvantage is that the accuracy of indirect-observed border is lower than that of directobserved border, and the baseline accuracy of neighbor points distributes unevenly. In field surveying, we usually use annexed traverse as special example according to practical situation and the net usage. This requirement for this traverse is the high accuracy for the known vectors between two point ends. Furthermore, the amount of annexed traverses cannot exceed the limits.

Fig 5-3 triangle net 3. Star shape net

Fig 5-4 circle net

31

Chapter V: S82V Operations

Star net has simple geometry graph, but the baselines of it mostly dont compose a closed graph, so it has a bad checking ability and consistency. The advantage of this net is that it only needs two receivers, the work is very simple, so it is mostly used in the quick surveying as quick static orientation and kinematical orientation. This working mode is widely used in project layout, border surveying and GIS surveying, etc.

Figure 5-5 star net

V.5

How to measure antenna height

After fixed the instrument, user should measure antenna height at the beginning and the end of every period of time to ensure the accuracy mm level. We usually measure from the center point on the ground to the center waterproof loop of antenna. That is an inclined height. Please refer to fig 5-6.

Fig 5-6 Measuring antenna height We use a formula to calculate antenna height.
2 H h 2 R0 h0

5-3

h is the inclined height that measure from point on the ground to the waterproof loop of antenna.

32

Chapter V: S82V Operations

R0 is the radius of antenna.

h 0 is the distance from antenna phase center to the middle of antenna.

H is the calculation result. We usually measure antenna height twice and adopt the average. Attention: We input the inclined height as the antenna height, which is the inclined distance from point on the ground to the waterproof loop of antenna.

V.6

How to download static data

For a correct connection between receiver and PC, follow the procedure described below. By using a different procedure it may be very difficult to make a connection. Turn on the receiver, then connect the cable to the communication interface of the receiver (9pins port) , then insert the USB port in the PC. The taskbar will show as follows:

Fig. 5.7 - Taskbar of windows including the receiver

The PC considers the receiver as a removable disk, so open the removable disk, and then you can get the data files in the memory.

33

Chapter V: S82V Operations

Fig. 5.8 - Example of receiver files

As Fig. 5.8 shows, .STH file is the data file collected by receiver, the modified time is the time of the last epoch collected. You can copy the original file to PC and if necessary modify the file names. You can see also the config.ini files. You can open it as a simple text file and set some parameters of static mode: sampling frequency, minimum elevation angle, etc.

V.7

Registration of the receiver

You have to connect the receiver to PC using the same procedure as to download static data (see paragraph V.6) , then open config.ini file. In this file many parameters are saved, search for the parameter serial number. It is composed of a 31 character code: the first 11 characters identify the receiver while the last 20 character are the code, you have to substitute the correct code and save the file.

34

Chapter V: S82V Operations

Appendix 1: Frequently Asked Questions
