Introduction

Leica Geosystems GPS System 500

comprises of GPS receiver hardware

and PC based software for GPS

Surveying and related applications.

The Main components are:

• GPS Receiver: Receive the

satellite signals.

• GPS Terminal: Keyboard and

Display device to steer the Receiver

• Post-processing software: Used

to process GPS data.

All of the instructions you

need in order to operate your

GPS system to a basic level

are contained in this user

manual.

In the "Technical Reference Manual"

and SKI-Pro Online Help (available in

English, French and other selected

languages only), there are more

detailed descriptions of special

software/hardware settings and

software/hardware functions. These

are intended for technical specialists.

The Technical Reference Manual is

available as an electronic PDF

document only. This document can

be found on the SKI-Pro installation

CD. For more information refer to the

file \MANUALS\README.TXT on the

SKI-Pro installation CD.

Introduction

System description

GPS Receiver

The GPS Receiver receives the GPS

signal from the NAVSTAR satellites

and calculates a range to all visible

satellites.

There are various types of Receivers

available:

SR510 - 12 L1 channels,

code and phase

SR520 - 12 L1, 12 L2 channels,

code and phase

SR530 - 12 L1, 12 L2 channels,

code and phase, RTK capable.

System description

The AT502 Antennas are intended for

use with the SR520 and SR530

Receivers. The AT501 Antenna is

intended for use with the SR510

Receiver.

See section 8 for technical

specifications.

The SR520 and SR530

Receivers use the GPS P

code signal, which by U.S.

policy is liable to be switched off

without notice. Phase measurements

on L2 are ensured however as these

Receivers automatically switch to

patented tracking techniques

Post-processing software

The Post-processing software is

used to process the observations

taken by the Receiver in order to

compute baselines and coordinates.

SKI-Pro Static Kinematic software is

the standard post-processing

software for dual-frequency

receivers. SKI-Pro-L1 is for single

frequency receivers. The user

interface for SKI-Pro and SKI-Pro -

L1 software packages are identical.

Receiver Hardware

The software contains a comprehen-

sive Online Help System. This Help

System is intended to replace the

function of a printed manual. If

required you may print out the entire

help for use as a hard copy reference

manual.

As a first step in getting familiar with

the software read the booklet

Getting

Started with SKI-Pro

delivered with

the SKI-Pro software package.

SKI-Pro (SKI-Pro-L1) post-processing software

In most cases, the software will be

installed by the local Leica

Geosystems representative and a

short introductory course will be

given.

Should this not be the case, install

the software as follows:

1. Insert the CD-ROM into the CD

drive of your PC.

2. Select Install SKI-Pro from the

menu.

3. Follow the instructions given by the

installation shield.

In most cases, a short introduction in

the use of the Receiverand Terminal

will be provided by the local Leica

Geosystems representative. If this is

not the case proceed as outlined in

the following sections.

Alternatively refer to the

Technical

Reference

PDF-manual available on

the SKI-Pro Installation CD.

Charge the batteries

Charge the batteries with the Leica

Geosystems battery charger pro-

vided. GEB121, GEB70 or GEB71

batteries may be used to power the

GPS equipment.

The GEB121 batteries may be

charged using GKL111 or GKL122

chargers.

The battery chargers are

intended for indoor use only.

Use a battery charger in a dry room

only, never outdoors. Charge batter-

ies only at an ambient temperature

between 10°C and 30°C ( 50°F to

86°F ). We recommend a tempera-

ture of 0°C to +20°C (32°F to 68°F)

for storing the batteries.

Use one Leica Geosystems

batteries, chargers and

accessories, or accessories recom-

mended by Leica Geosystems.

The GEB70 and GEB71 batteries

may be charged using GKL122 (with

charging cables), GKL23 or GKL22

chargers.

Refer to the appropriate manual

when using the chargers.

To attain full battery capacity

for new GEB121 batteries, it

is essential to repeate between three

and five complete charge/discharge

cycles.

Set Up the Equipment

Successful GPS surveys require

undisturbed satellite signal reception.

This means that GPS Receivers

should be set up in locations which are

free of obstructions. No obstacles like

trees, buildings, mountains, etc. should

block the line between the GPS

antenna and GPS satellites. This holds

true in particular for the Receiver which

serves as the reference.

For static and rapid static surveys,

the antenna must be kept perfectly

steady throughout the whole occupa-

tion of a point. This means that the

AT501 or AT502 antenna will usually

be put on a tripod.

Center and level the tripod precisely

above the survey marker. Place and

lock the carrier in the tribrach. Mount

the antenna onto the carrier.

Connect the antenna to the sensor

using the antenna cable.

Plug two camcorder batteries into the

backside of the sensor. Alternatively

or in addition you might want to

power the sensor externaly. In this

case connect a GEB71 battery to the

PWR- port of the sensor.

Attach the TR500 terminal to the

sensor, either directly or via a con-

nection cable by plugging it into the

TERMINAL-port on the sensor.

Insert a PC-card into the sensor.

Lock the lid carefully after

insertion of the card in order

to prevent water and dust from

getting inside the sensor.

Use the hook on the backside of the

sensor to hang it on one of the tripod

legs. Alternatively you may want to

leave the sensor inside the shipping

case.

Your System 500 sensor is now fully

ready for operation.

Step 2: Study the Icons

Most important at this stage is the top

part of the screen which contains

several symbols (icons) which

indicate the current system status.

Step 1: Power on

Turn on the sensor by pressing the ON-button on the terminal. One of the

following two screens will appear on the display:
