132.3 General guidelines
C
WARNING – These receivers use a rechargeable Lithium-ion battery. To avoid personal
injury or equipment damage, make sure that you read and understand the Safety
Information on page iii at the front of this manual.
The following guidelines apply whenever you set up the receiver for operation:
• When plugging in a Lemo cable, make sure that the red dots on the receiver port
and the cable connector line up. Do not use force to plug cables in, as this may
damage the connector pins.
• When disconnecting a Lemo cable, grasp the cable by the sliding collar or
lanyard and then pull the cable connector straight out of the port. Do not twist
the connector or pull on the cable itself.
• To securely connect a TNC cable, align the cable connector with the receiver
receptacle and then thread the cable connector onto the receptacle until it is
snug.
• To insert the internal battery, place the battery in the battery compartment,
ensuring that the contact points are in the correct position to align with the
contacts in the receiver. Slide the battery and compartment as a unit upward
into the receiver until the battery compartment latches are locked into position.
13.3Pole-mounted setup
Figure 13.3 on page 86 shows the pole-mounted setup for the receiver. To mount the
receiver on a range pole:
1. Thread the unit onto the range pole.
2. Attach the controller bracket to the pole.
3. Insert the controller into the bracket.
Note – When using a Trimble ACU, a TSCe controller with BlueCap module, or a TSC2
controller, no cabling is required, as shown in Figure 13.3.
