Anti-Theft Protection
Theory of
Operation
Purpose
The SP80 integrates an anti-theft function to protect your
equipment while it is left operating unattended.
This protection is intended for a SP80 operated as a base.
The anti-theft protection will discourage the theft of an SP80
receiver by rendering it useless without the anti-theft
password. It will also aid in recovery of a stolen receiver by
sending messages to its real owner with the receiver’s current
location.
Enabling/Disabling the Anti-Theft Protection
The anti-theft protection is enabled and disabled from the
data collector controlling the receiver. If you use the Spectra
Precision Survey Pro or FAST Survey on your data collector, a
user-friendly interface will let you quickly enable or disable
the anti-theft protection (see Using the Anti-Theft Protection
in Survey Pro on page 41 and Using the Anti-Theft Protection
in FAST Survey on page 44).
If you are using other software, please contact Technical
Support for more information.
How the Receiver Operates With the Anti-Theft On
With the anti-theft protection enabled, and as long as no theft
is detected, the receiver will operate normally.
What the Anti-Theft Protection Does Initially
At the time the anti-theft protection is enabled, the last valid
position computed by the receiver is saved in memory. This
position is saved as the anti-theft position.
NOTE: You won’t be allowed to enable the anti-theft
protection until the receiver can compute a position solution
in standalone mode for its location, and the communication
means (modem, WiFi) are operational to forward an alert in
case of theft.
