System Setup
Base Setup This setup should always be used for a base and may also be
used for a rover having to run a static survey.
Prerequisites:
• You need accessories to install the base, such as a tripod,
a tribrach and an antenna pole.
• Allow for an external DC power source if this is how you
want the base to be powered. Connect the power source to
the DC Power Input located underneath the unit.
Step-by-step Procedure:
1. Set up the tripod and tribrach over the point chosen for
the base.
2. Screw the ProMark 800 on top of the pole.
3. Insert the antenna pole into the tribrach.
4. Perform a slant height measurement. Keep the measured
value in your mind or write it down.
Rover Setup This setup is intended for rovers having to run continuous or
stop&go kinematic surveys.
Prerequisites:
• Use a range pole fitted with a 5/8” male adaptor at the
upper end (not provided).
Step-by-step Procedure:
1. Screw the ProMark 800 on top of the range pole.
2. Perform a vertical height measurement, which consists in
measuring the length of the range pole or reading the
graduation on the pole. Keep the measured value in your
mind or write it down.
3. Fasten the field terminal and its bracket further down on
the pole so you can easily use the field terminal and read
the information shown on the display screen.
