Setting up the receiver

This chapter provides general information on appearance and power supply of Z30

Front panel

Receiver front panel contains three indicator light emitting diodes (LEDs). The indicator LEDs show the status of power, satellite tracking, and Internal GSM/ differential indicator.

Lower housing

Z30 Receiver lower housing contains a pole slot, and a Type-C port for charge/power supply with power bank.
Lower Housing

Power supply
Z30 GNSS receiver supports internal batteries and supply with power bank.

General Operation

This chapter introduces all controls for the general operation, including button functions and all LED behaviors on the front panel.

Button functions

There are two buttons on the front panel, power button and SOS button.

  • Power button:
    Press the power button for about 1 second to turn on the receiver; To turn off the receiver, long press the button for 3-4 seconds until all LEDs off.

  • SOS button (Z30):
    long press the button for 5 seconds to ask help for remote server. To cancel the warning, long press the button for 5 seconds until warning off

LED behavior
The LEDs on the front panel indicate receiver working status. Generally, a lit or slowly flashing indicates normal operation, and an unlit LED indicates that no operation is occurring. The following figure and table define each possible LED state:
Parts

LEDs States Description
Power Lit Enough power
Flashing Low power
Differential Data Flashes once per second Receiving differential data

/transmit tracking to server
Satellite Tracking| Flash once per second| No satellite received
Flashes N times every 5 seconds| Received Nsatellite signals

Personnel tracking on NaviCloud/TCP server

This chapter will introduce the procedure of upload tracking to ComNav NaviCloud platform or third-party TCP server.

Preparation

There will need put a SIM card to Z30/M10/M10 mini, and configure by Navigate Master software to get correction service, and setup address of NaviCloud platform or third-party TCP server. After that, you can manage your device by the platform.

Monitoring
Go monitoring, you can monitor all devices on map. And on bottom of right interface, it shows real time status for devices.
Monitoring

Tracking
NaviCloud support check tracking for 3 days. Select the device and date you want to check the tracking, you can also download the tracking as KML format, so that you can open with google map.
Tracking

Electronic fence
With electronic fence, Z30 can remind the workers in real time with beep sound. The manager build the electronic fence and active it in NaviCloud, once the workers outside of the area, the Z30 will warning, and NaviCloud also will receive message.

Here shows how to build an electronic fence.
Click New, add the electronic by click on map. Note to click the first point on map again to complete the fence.
Tracking

It will prompt below interface, give a name of the fence, and select a manager, active the device which need work in the fence.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

  • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
  • Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
  • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
  • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Caution: Any changes or modifications to this device not explicitly approved by manufacturer could void your authority to operate this equipment.

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information:
This GNSS Receiver meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed toassure the safety of all persons regardless of age or health. FCC RF Exposure Information and Statement the SAR limit of USA (FCC) is 1.6 W/kg averaged over one gram of tissue. Device types: GNSS Receiver has also been tested against this SAR limit. This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with theback of the GNSS Receiver kept 0mm from the body. To maintain GNSS Receiver with FCC RF exposure requirements, use accessories that maintain an 0mm separation distance between the user’s body and the back of the GNSS Receiver . The use of belt clips, holsters and similar accessories should not contain metallic components in its assembly. The use of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, and should be avoided.
