Choose a proper position to set up the base station: this is a position open to the air with at
least 10 meters distance from buildings, trees and/or other tall structures near the location.
Fully assemble the base station; place the station on the tripod and install the antennas.
Make sure the antennas are connected to the correct connectors: the smaller dipole antenna
to “1. DATA ANT”-connector and the large GPS round antenna to “2. GNSS ANT”-connector.
Power the base station by plugging in a power source in the PWR connector. Always power
up the base station after placing it on the location and do not move it afterwards. Power
status is shown by a green LED on the right side of the LED-bar. When the red LED in the
middle of the LED-bar is on, then the GPS receiver is active.
The device will now start receiving GNSS data and learning its position. This position will be
used to create RTK correction messages. GNSS reception is shown by a blinking blue LED
in the middle of the LED-bar.
Between a few seconds and a few minutes the position is learned. On an overcast day the
time will be increased.
A blinking green LED on the left side of the LED-bar shows that the radio is transmitting
messages. This will also include the RTK correction messages when the position of the
base station is learned.
