Note – Instead of hanging the receiver on the tripod, you can place the receiver in its base
case. Run the antenna cable out of the portal in the side of the base case to the antenna so
that the case can stay closed while the receiver is running.
3.1 Pole-mounted setup
To mount the Trimble R7 GPS receiver on a pole, you need to do the following:
1. Mount the eRTK
™
Range Pole antenna (RPA).
2. Mount the receiver.
3. Mount the Trimble controller.
This section provides detailed instructions on each of these three steps.
Mounting the range pole antenna (RPA)
To mount the RPA on the pole:
1. Install the RPA bracket 7.5 cm (3") from the pole top by placing the two pieces
together and securing with screws. If you are using a 1" diameter pole, place the
bracket inserts inside the bracket before securing.
Note – Instead of the RPA, you can use a quarter-wave whip (“rubber duck”) antenna
attached directly to the receiver.
