3.6 Guidelines for Correct Results Undisturbed satellite signal reception Successful GNSS surveys require undisturbed satellite signal reception, especially at the receiver which serves as a reference. Set up the receivers in locations which are free of obstructions such as trees, buildings or mountains. Steady antenna for static surveys For static surveys, the antenna must be kept perfectly steady throughout the whole occupation of a point. Put the antenna on a tripod or pillar.
GPS1200+ Operation 3.7 60 Operation with a Typical Configuration Set ) Static operations step-by-step The example given is for static operations. Step 1. ) ) ) Description Set up the equipment. Always fill out a field record sheet for each point. It is vital that the antenna height is measured correctly. Measure the height at the beginning and at the end of the occupation.
Step Description 4. CONT (F1) 5. SURVEY Survey: Job Name ) 6. ) 7. ) Operation Type in the point ID and the antenna height. The position mode icon is the moving icon. This indicates that the antenna can be moved around and that no static observations are being recorded. OCUPY (F1) starts logging of static observations. The position mode icon changes to the static icon indicating that the receiver should remain stationary.
GPS1200+ Operation Step Description 10. Check that the tribrach is still level and note it down in the field record sheet. 11. Measure the antenna height and note it down in the field record sheet. ) 62 If the tribrach is not level or the antenna height has changed, the collected data is not reliable. 12. SHIFT QUIT (F6) to return to from where SURVEY Survey: Job Name was accessed. 13. ESC until in GPS1200+ Main Menu. 14. GPS1200+ Main Menu PROG plus USER to turn off the receiver. 15.
) ) Operation Step Description 19. Post-process the data in the office. The antenna must not be moved while data is logged, otherwise the quality of postprocessed coordinates is impaired. The CompactFlash card must be removed in GPS1200+ Main Menu. If the card is removed when in any other screen all stored data might get corrupted, preventing LGO from successfully reading the data on the card.
GPS1200+ Reference Station 4 4.1 64 Reference Station Overview Description The GRX1200+ Series • • • • • • are designed to operate for specific reference station applications using remote control software, for example LEICA GNSS Spider reference station software. support internal logging of raw observations which can be downloaded using an external remote control software package such as LEICA GNSS Spider. support streaming output of GPS and GLONASS raw observations and status information.
• • • Special features can send out Event E-mails and push Raw data to an FTP server. can log data to MDB, RINEX and compact RINEX files. have the same receiver and measurement performance as the other GPS1200+ receivers. Refer to "7 Technical Data" for information on technical data. To operate for specific reference station applications, the GRX1200+ Series is, compared with the other GPS1200+ receivers, equipped with some special features.
Reference Station GPS1200+ 66 • • • • Additional features for GRX1200+ GNSS: • • • One Ethernet port including three logical NET ports One port to output PPS One port to input event messages One port for input from an external oscillator Tracking of GLONASS observables Tracking of GPS L5 observables Tracking of Galileo observables Data storage All CompactFlash cards recommended by Leica Geosystems are supported.

) ) Cable connection Connect the device to transmit real-time data to port P1, P2 or P3 of the receiver. Some devices fit into a clip-on-housing that plugs directly into these ports. Other devices require an interface cable. Unauthorised radio units should not be connected to the GRX1200+ Series. Cable connections are identical to other GPS1200+ receivers. Additional cables are available from Leica Geosystems for the specific oscillator and Ethernet ports on the GRX1200+.
GPS1200+ Reference Station 72 Click on POWER DOWN in the Web Interface Tools menu. Behaviour when turning off and on Behaviour after power failure Turning the GRX1200+ Series off and on again resets the receiver. The consequences are: • If the configuration of the output is stored in the configuration set, standard NMEA messages are still output. • All data/message outputs scheduled via OWI or LB2 commands are no longer output.
4.3 Getting Started with the GRX1200+ Series ) Ways of operating Refer to the seperate "GRX1200+ Series - Getting Started" manual for more detailed information. The GRX1200+ Series can either be operated with the RX1200 like the other GPS1200+ receivers or by remote control, with its web interface or a reference station software.

Warning Inadequate securing of the working site can lead to dangerous situations, for example in traffic, on building sites, and at industrial installations. Precautions: Always ensure that the working site is adequately secured. Adhere to the regulations governing safety and accident prevention and road traffic. Warning Only Leica Geosystems authorised service workshops are entitled to repair these products.
Safety Directions GPS1200+ 94 Avoid subjecting the product to mechanical stress. Caution The product uses the GPS P-Code signal which by U.S. policy may be switched off without notice. Caution During the transport, shipping or disposal of batteries it is possible for inappropriate mechanical influences to constitute a fire hazard. Precautions: Before shipping the product or disposing of it, discharge the batteries by running the product until they are flat.
Warning High mechanical stress, high ambient temperatures or immersion into fluids can cause leackage, fire or explosions of the batteries. Precautions: Protect the batteries from mechanical influences and high ambient temperatures. Do not drop or immerse batteries into fluids. Warning Short circuited battery terminals can overheat and cause injury or fire, for example by storing or transporting in pockets if battery terminals come in contact with jewellery, keys, metallized paper or other metals.
GPS1200+ Safety Directions Warning 96 If the product is improperly disposed of, the following can happen: • If polymer parts are burnt, poisonous gases are produced which may impair health. • If batteries are damaged or are heated strongly, they can explode and cause poisoning, burning, corrosion or environmental contamination.
near power lines. Lightning, voltage peaks, or the touching of power lines can cause damage, injury and death. Precautions: • Do not use the product in a thunderstorm as you may increase the risk of being struck by lightning. Safety Directions • Be sure to remain at a safe distance from electrical installations. Do not use the product directly under or in close proximity to power lines.
Safety Directions Lightning conductors GPS1200+ 98 Suggestion for design of a lightning conductor for a GNSS system: 1. On non-metallic structures Protection by air terminals is recommended. An air terminal is a pointed solid or tubular rod of conducting material with proper mounting and connection to a conductor. The position of four air terminals should be uniformly distributed around the antenna at a distance equal to the height of the air terminal.

6.6 Electromagnetic Compatibility EMC Description The term Electromagnetic Compatibility is taken to mean the capability of the product to function smoothly in an environment where electromagnetic radiation and electrostatic discharges are present, and without causing electromagnetic disturbances to other equipment. Warning Electromagnetic radiation can cause disturbances in other equipment.
Safety Directions GPS1200+ 102 Caution Disturbances caused by electromagnetic radiation can result in erroneous measurements. Although the product meets the strict regulations and standards which are in force in this respect, Leica Geosystems cannot completely exclude the possibility that the product may be disturbed by very intense electromagnetic radiation, for example, near radio transmitters, two-way radios or diesel generators.
Radios, digital cellular phones or ATX1230+ GNSS with Bluetooth Warning Use of product with radio, digital cellular phone devices or ATX1230+ GNSS with Bluetooth: Electromagnetic radiation can cause disturbances in other equipment, in installations, in medical devices, for example pacemakers or hearing aids and in aircraft. It can also affect humans and animals.
