Static and Kinematic Surveys-2.0.0en
Equipment checklist for Static and Rapid-Static measurements using System 500
Batteries are needed to power the
sensor. Standard are two camcorder
batteries which are plugged into the
backside of the sensor and power the
unit for about 6 hours.
Warning
Brand new camcorder
batteries need about 5
charging cycles before
reaching the full capacity. It is
highly recommended to fully
charge and decharge
camcorder batteries for 4 to 5
times before start-ing using
them for practical fieldwork.
This is easily accomplished
by plugging them into the
sensor and having the sensor
turned on until the sensor
switches off automatically
once the batteries get flat.
Then simply recharge them
and repeat this exercise.
Equipment checklist
If you want to use System 500 for
Static or Rapid-Static survey then the
minimum equipment you need is a
pair of System 500 units.
Each unit comprises a SR510 or
SR520 or SR530 sensor.
A single frequency SR510 sensor
requires an AT501 single frequency
antenna; SR520 and SR530 sensors
need to be connected to a dual-
frequency antenna, normally the
AT502 standard antenna or - for
utmost accuracy - high precision
chokering antennas: either a AT503
or AT504.
An antenna cable is needed to
connect the sensor and the antenna.
A TR500 terminal - a keyboard &
display device - is needed to easily
start the operation, check system
status and manipulate sensor
parameters.
