Charger
Standard configuration includes charger and charging cable:
While charging, when the power indicator is red, it means charging; when the indicator is green, it means full.

Power adapter and charging cable:

UHF Radio Antenna

UHF radio antennas are required for the built-in radio Base mode and the built-in radio Rover mode.

TYPE – C Cable
TYPE – C cable is to connect the G40Plus with computer, used for transmissionofstaticdataor receiver firmware upgrading.

Chapter III: Mode Setting

Static Mode

1. Set up a tripod at the control point, connect the tribrach, strictly center and level the measuring point.

2. Measure instrument height for three times, and the difference between the three times shall not exceed 3 mm and take the average value.

3. Record SN, point name, instrument height and start time.

4. Switch on the G40Plus and connect with controller software, set the receiver to static mode, and set the parameters as the picture shows. (The memory capacity of G40Plusmustbe sufficient. Generally, 8 MB storage capacity is required in an hour.)

5. G40Plus starts to search for satellite and the satellite lights start flashing. When the recording condition is reached, the status light will flash at the set sampling interval, and the flash indicates that an epoch is collected.

6. After the surveying finished, shut down G40Plus, and then transport the data and process data.

RTKMode（External Radio）
Base Setup
Base station must be set up in the open field, the surrounding environment should be open, the terrain should be higher. Do not set it up near high- voltage power transmission, transformation equipment, near radio communication equipment antenna, or under trees and near water.

Setting steps:

1. Set up the tripod as shown in the figure above, hang up the radio, fix the G40Plus, and connect the extension rod and the large radio transmitting antenna.
2. Connect the battery with Radio by Y-type power cable.

Starting Base
Used TRU35 external radio as an example to show the process, and if has another radio, please consult the technician.

1.  Turn on the device. Connect the device WIFI by your computer or controller, WIFI name is device SN number. Then login device WEBUI, at 192.168.10.1(It needs to enter an account and password the first time you use a new browser to visit it: admin/password)
2. Under “Settings”, Choose “Mode Settings” to be “Base” and Data link choose “External Serial Port”
3. Set the base info and choose the baud rate at 115200, then clip ”Save and start base station”.
4. Click “External Radio Configuration” under “Tools” in SurPad.
5. In “External Radio configuration”, choose “Radio type” to be “Geoelectron” and “Connection mode” to be “Bluetooth”, then search TRU35 radio and connect it.(Pairing code is “1234”）.
6. After connected, you will come to “Functional selection” interface, click “Parameter Settings”, click “Get” to receive TRU35 parameters and there to change the “Receiving channel frequency”, “Transmitting channel frequency” and other settings, then press “Settings” to finish settings.

Rover Setup
