3.3 Setup Guidelines

Consider the following guidelines when setting up the Trimble R7.

33.1 Environmental conditions

Although the Trimble R7 has a waterproof housing, reasonable care

should be taken to keep the unit dry. Avoid exposure to extreme

environmental conditions, including:

• Water

• Heat greater than 65° C (149° F)

• Cold less than –40° C (–40° F)

• Corrosive fluids and gases

Avoiding these conditions improves the receiver performance and

long-term reliability.

33.2 Sources of electrical interference

Avoid the following sources of electrical and magnetic noise:

• Gasoline engines (spark plugs)

• Televisions and PC monitors

• Alternators and generators

• Electric motors

• Equipment with DC-to-AC converters

• Fluorescent lights

• Switching power supplies
