Anti-Theft and Startup Protections
Anti-Theft
Protection
Purpose
The SP60 integrates an anti-theft function to protect your
equipment while it is left operating unattended.
This protection is intended for a SP60 operated as a base.
The anti-theft protection will discourage the theft of an SP60
receiver by rendering it useless without the anti-theft
password.
Enabling/Disabling the Anti-Theft Protection
The anti-theft protection is enabled and disabled from the
data collector controlling the receiver. If you use the Spectra
Precision Survey Pro or FAST Survey on your data collector, a
user-friendly interface will let you quickly enable or disable
the anti-theft protection (see Using Anti-Theft and Startup
Protections in Survey Pro on page 32 and Using Anti-Theft
and Startup Protections in FAST Survey on page 34).
If you are using other software, please contact Technical
Support for more information.
How the Receiver Operates With the Anti-Theft On
With the anti-theft protection enabled, and as long as no theft
is detected, the receiver will operate normally.
What the Anti-Theft Protection Does Initially
At the time the anti-theft protection is enabled, the last valid
position computed by the receiver is saved in memory. This
position is saved as the anti-theft position.
NOTE: You won’t be allowed to enable the anti-theft
protection until the receiver can compute a position solution
in standalone mode for its location.
What Events Will Trigger a Theft Alarm?
From the moment the anti-theft protection is enabled (and an
anti-theft position has been saved in the receiver), a theft
condition will be detected, and an alert will be issued:
• If the receiver has unexpectedly been unable to deliver a
valid position for the last 20 seconds or so.
• Whenever the protected receiver computes a valid position
that is distant by more than 100 meters (around 330 feet)
from the anti-theft position.
