Trimble R7 Operation

The power supply that is supplied with the Trimble R7 receiver

charges the receiver internal batteries while they are still in the

receiver. To do this, connect the power supply to the power/serial data

cable, connect the cable to Port 2 on the receiver, and connect the

power supply to an AC power source, as shown in Figure 4.2.

Figure 4.2 Charging the batteries

The two internal batteries take approximately eight hours to charge.

They are charged individually, so each battery takes approximately

four hours to charge. The internal batteries start charging whenever an

external power supply of greater than 15 V is detected.
