Stonex S10 GNSS Receiver –User Manual 2
1. Introduction to Stonex S10 GNSS
STONEX S10 GNSS introduces revolutionary changes to the technique of
surveying.
Designed with the collaboration of professional Surveyors and technical
engineers teams, Stonex S10 GNSS RTK technology gives the user the
maximum possible reliability in every kind of environment.
Compared with the previous generation GNSS receivers, the new smart Stonex
S10 is introducing innovation in technology, a charming appearance design
and solid magnesium alloy fuselage, incredibly small and light –less than 2Kg
included the battery, resistance to impact and shock absorption function,
good electromagnetic shielding and upscale appearance.
Equipped with a new high accuracy integrated antenna, Stonex S10 fully
supports Beidou (Compass), GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, SBAS (WAAS, EGNOS,
QZSS) signals: no troubles or extra costs for new constellations hardware
upgrades.
The integrated TX/RX UHF radio modem supports the main standard protocols
and allows Stonex S10 to be compatible with most of the existing GPS receiver.
Stonex S10 is equipped with magnetic sensing system that allows to collect
points quickly and with high precision, even close to walls and buildings
corners.
Even if you have used other GPS or GNSS products before, we recommend
that you spend some time reading this manual to learn about the special
features of this product.
If you are not familiar with GNSS technology, we suggest you read a specific
book in order to understand in a best way the contents of this manual. Any
way you can ask for any technical support by sending an email to our address

upper cap, the rubber loop and the main
body. The upper cap protects the integrated
GNSS antenna, the rubber loop has the
function of softening possible shocks or
falls. In the front of the main body.
On the front panel there are 2 keys and 7
indicators, on the back there are the battery
house, SIM slot, SD slot and reset key.
2.1. S10 smart panel
From the smart panel is possible to check at any time the status of the S10.
The following figure shows it and the meaning of the leds.

1: STATIC led (green):
It switches on when the static mode is selected;
it starts to blink when the receiver is recording
data, with the same frequency of the sample rate.
2: INTERNAL RADIO led (green):
This led is green when UHF radio is selected as
UHF data link. It blinks when transmitting data in
base mode or receiving data in rover mode. The
led is red if the current data link is external.
3: EXTERNAL DATA LINK led (red)
This led is red when external data link is selected
as External data link. It starts to blink when there
is data transfer ongoing.

4: GSM/WCDMA Network led (green):
The led is on when the network module is selected
as RTK data link. It starts to blink when receiving and
transforming data. (download in rover mode and
upload in base mode).
5: BLUETOOTH led (blue):
Once S10 is connected with the controller this led
will switch on.
6: SATELLITE led (green):
The led blinks and shows the amount of locked
satellites. It starts to blink every 30 seconds for a
number of times equal to the number of locked
satellites.

7: WiFi Led (green)
WiFi is turned on when the led turns green.
7: POWER led (green and red):
Power led shows 3 different status:
1. Green: power supply in good condition.
2. Red: low power (below 20%).
3. Red blinking and beeping: very low power
(below 10%).
When the status #2 is shown (red) about 1 working hour is left.
External power and internal battery share same power light.
When external power is used, the led indicates external power level.
When the power is below 10%, the red led will flash according to
sampling interval (default is 1 seconds) and you also hear three beep
every 60s.

2.2. Communications & antennas ports
The S10 communications ports are shown in the following figures 2.11 and
2.12: the left port (5-pins LEMO) is used for external power supply and external
radio, the right port (7-pins LEMO) is used for data transferring between
receiver and computer or between receiver and the Controller.
Figure 2.13 and 2.14 show the UHF radio port and the GPRS antenna port.

3. S10 standard accessories
3.1. Power supply
Batteries (P/N 30-350170)
The standard configuration contains two batteries with S/N, a slot for charging
the batteries (the battery charger) and one adaptor. The batteries are “Lithium-
Ion” battery (11.1V-3400mAH; 37.7Wh), they features a very high energy-to-
weight ratio respect to Ni-Cd or NiMh batteries, no memory effect and slow
self-discharge when it is not used.
Fig. 3.1 - Lithium-Ion battery
Charger + Adapter (P/N 30-350171 + 30-350072)
The charger can be used for both batteries simultaneously. The lights of the
charger shows if the battery is being charged (red light FULL) or if it is already
charged (green light FULL). Red light POWER shows if the charger is powered
on and there is also a light which turns on in case of too high temperature (red
light TEMP).
