Lightning Protection

DANGER
Lightning strikes can cause severe damage to structures, devices, services and human life. Therefore it is essential to consult an authorised specialist to design and install a means for reliable and efficient lightning protection.
The protection must consider all elements of your receiver installation, that is: · Devices, for example receiver, GNSS antenna, meteo stations, radio com-
munications (cellular mobile, terrestrial), switches, routers · Power lines · Signal lines, for example from an antenna · Communication and data lines, for example Ethernet or serial · Structures, for example building, mast, cabinet · Solar panels

Warranty exclusion
Lightning Protection Zones

Lightning may ignore every defence man can conceive. A systematic hazard mitigation approach to lightning safety is a prudent course of action.
The warranty of the receiver does not apply to, and Leica Geosystems is not responsible for defects, malfunctioning or performance issues resulting from: · Damage caused by lightning or any other electrical discharge.

Lightning Protection Zones (LPZ) can be divided into:

Zone

Description

External LPZ 0A, LPZ 0B

Zones which are at risk from direct lightning strikes, from impulse currents up to the whole lightning current and from the whole electromagnetic field of the flash of lightning.

Internal LPZ 1…n

Zones where impulse currents are limited by splitting the current and by Surge Protective Devices (SPDs) at the zones boundaries. The electromagnetic field of the lightning flash can be attenuated by spatial shielding.

At the boundary of each internal zone, the equipotential bonding must be carried out for all metal components and utility lines entering the building or structure. Equipotential bonding is done directly or with suitable SPDs.

Active Lightning Protection System

An Active Lightning Protection (ALP) System combines protection with lightning detection.

Functionality · Carrying out preventive measures in advance · Triggering an early streamer of ionised air.
The streamer intercepts lightning discharges for the safe passage to a low impedance down-conductor.
Leica customers reported successful application using products from: · Lightning Protection International Pty Ltd (www.lpi.com.au)

Passive Lightning Protection System

A Passive Lightning Protection (PLP) System and an ALP are similar.
The PLP System has no detection (preventive measures) or triggers for an early streamer.
Leica customers reported successful application using products from: · Huber and Suhner (www.hubersuhner.com) · Polyphaser (www.protectiongroup.com)

Down conductor system

A down conductor system consists of a bonding network that covers the outer face of a structure, for example building.

18

Safety Directions

Grounding Equipotentialisation

In a steel-reinforced concrete structure, the reinforcement of the outer walls can be used as natural components.
Structures made of insulating material, for example wood or bricks, need an extra bonding network as down conductor system.

As part of the external LPS, an earth termination system for grounding must address low earth impedance. Suitable for grounding are poles or depths/plate/ring earth counterpoises.
Disadvantages · Corrosions depending on the soil conditions · Damage due to excavation
Corrective measure Use a foundation grounding rod. Such a rod is required for electric facilities in and at structures, for example building, pillar or mast. The foundation grounding rod is built into the concrete foundation of the structure.

Any incoming connection into a building that can transfer an electrical potential from outside to inside must be protected against electrical discharge.

Recommendation
Deploy an EBB which is properly connected to the grounding system at the building and/or cabinet entry point.

Structural separation in a cabinet

Case
A cabinet box is used to protect the receiver and electronic against environmental impacts.

Recommendation Use a structural separation with a metal partition panel within the cabinet.

Purpose of a structural separation
· Separation of lightning protected and not protected part of the cabinet · Avoiding crossed cables originating from the lightning protected and not
protected part of the cabinet · Attenuation of transient and magnetic induced fields

Installation
Before Installation
It is recommended that the instrument is installed so that it is · protected from mechanical influences and lightning · within 70 m of the antenna, without the need to use inline amplifiers. · located sufficiently far enough away from potential sources of radio fre-
quency interference. High-power signals from nearby radio, radar or GSM/ GPRS/UMTS cell towers can cause problems with GNSS tracking. Such interference is not harmful to the instrument but could cause a loss of GNSS data.
· For inside assembly, the instrument can be installed in any direction · When installing the instrument outside, orientate the instrument vertically
so that the connector points are pointing downwards
Ensure that the cables between the instrument and antenna are positioned to prevent them from becoming bent, stretched or squeezed. For the installation of the cables, the general rules for the installation of electrical wiring apply.
Please consider that a well-planned and thoroughly carried out electric installation not only protects the cables against damage, but also looks professional.
For detailed installation information, refer to the “GNSS Reference Station and Networks – An Introductory Guide”.
When using the wireless slot in device port with any slot in radio/GSM/3G/ CDMA module it is recommended to use an antenna extension cable and mounting bracket to correctly position the antenna vertically, and away from the Bluetooth/WLAN antenna, as shown in the following installation options.
Installation Options

Charging / first-time use

Refer to the “GR/GM Series Operational Manual (Online Help)” for

detailed information on the web interface.

Batteries
Operating Principles
· The battery must be charged before using it the first time, because it is delivered with an energy content as low as possible or might be in sleep mode.
· The permissible ambient temperature range for charging is from 0 °C to +45 °C/+32 °F to +113 °F. For optimal charging, we recommend charging the batteries at a medium ambient temperature of +10 °C to +20 °C/ +50 °F to +68 °F if possible
· It is normal for the battery to become warm during charging. Using the chargers recommended by Leica Geosystems, it is not possible to charge the battery once the temperature is too high
· For new batteries or batteries that have been stored for a long time (> three months), it is effectual to make a discharge/charge cycle
· For Li-Ion batteries, a single discharge/charge cycle is sufficient. We recommend carrying out the process when the battery capacity indicated on the charger or on a Leica Geosystems product deviates significantly from the actual battery capacity available.

Operation

53

Operation/discharging · The batteries can be operated from -20 °C to +55 °C/-4 °F to +131 °F ambient temperature, i.e. inside the GR50. Please note the internal tem-
perature reading on the GR50 web interface.
The environmental temperature outside the instrument can be lower or
higher.
· Low operating temperatures reduce the capacity that can be drawn; high operating temperatures reduce the service life of the battery

Internal charging

· Internal battery charging (inside the GR50) can be enabled in the GR50 web interface. Refer to the “GR/GM Series Operational Manual (Online
Help)” for further information.
· When the GR50 is turned on, the battery charging status is indicated in the GR50 web interface.
· When the GR50 is powered down, battery charging is indicated via the LEDs. Refer to 5.1 LED Indicators on GR50 for further information.

When charging the GEB243 battery inside the GR50 with the internal

charger, it is technically possible to charge the GEB243 battery

between -20°C to +65°C/-4°F to +149°F ambient instrument temper-

ature, i.e. temperature outside the GR50. Please note the internal

temperature reading on the GR50 web interface.

Interference monitoring and mitigation

The receiver continuously measures and monitors the relevant frequency spectrum for unwanted interference at user definable sensitivity. The automatic detection and notification about potential interference assist the administrator to take informed decisions.
The SmartTrack+ Advanced Interference Mitigation option offers resilient signal tracking ensuring reliable GNSS multi-frequency operation even in challenging environments.
The radio frequency power spectrum levels can be measured and output at configurable density and update rate for all GNSS bands.
Leica Interference Toolbox desktop software allows to easily monitor, quantify and enable mitigation options on the receiver to remove interference sources impacting the receiver performance.

  1. Additional signals from modernised GNSS and a full constellation of emerging satellites such as BeiDou and Galileo will further increase measurement performance and accuracy.
  2. Three positioning modes are available: ­Reference Station: This mode is designed for monitoring the stability of the antenna position of a reference station. It is optimized for long baselines as used within RTK networks. Movements will be detected with a high reliability while the positioning results are smoothed to prevent outliers from triggering false alarms. ­Monitoring: In this mode the position calculation is optimized for monitoring applications with short baselines. Positioning results are less smoothed than in Reference Station mode as outliers are less likely. Therefore, a position change may be detected slightly faster than in Reference Station mode. ­Network RTK: In this mode the position calculation will behave as on a real rover.
  3. Might vary due to atmospheric conditions, signal multipath, obstructions, signal geometry and number of tracked signals.

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

SNMP is an Internet-standard protocol for managing devices on IP networks. It can be used in network management systems to monitor receivers for conditions that warrant administrative attention. It can also be used to monitor other IP based network devices like routers, switches or modems, as many modern network devices support the SNMP protocol. This means that by using SNMP protocol all the devices of the network infrastructure (communication devices and GNSS receivers) can be monitored if they support SNMP. This may help in tracking down network issues, like malfunctioning routers, bandwidth issues and other problems that may affect the availability and reliability of GNSS network services.
GR/GM receivers support SNMP versions v1, v2p and v2c.
