Regulations and safety The receivers contain integral Bluetooth wireless technology, and may also send radio signals through the antenna of an internal radio-modem, or through an externally-connected data communications radio. Regulations regarding the use of the 450 MHz radio-modems vary greatly from country to country. In some countries, the unit can be used without obtaining an end-user license. Other countries require end-user licensing. For licensing information, consult your local North dealer. Bluetooth operates in license-free bands
North Group LTD.
Type approval Type approval, or acceptance, covers technical parameters of the equipment related to emissions that can cause interference. Type approval is granted to the manufacturer of the transmission equipment, independent from the operation or licensing of the units. Some countries have unique technical requirements for operation in particular radio-modem frequency bands. To comply with those requirements, North Group LTD may have modified your equipment to be granted Type

approval. Unauthorized modification of the units voids the Type approval, the warranty, and the operational license of the equipment.
Operation near other radio equipment When operating the receiver in member states of the European Union and in other counties which adhere to the EU R&TTE requirements, while in the vicinity of aeronautical radio navigation equipment operating between 2700 and 2900 MHz, or Fixed, Fixed Satellite (space to Earth), or Mobile systems operating at 4170 MHz, a minimum separation of 5 meters must be maintained between the receiver and such radio equipment.
Exposure to radio frequency radiation For 450 MHz radio WARNING: Exposure to RF energy is an important safety consideration. The FCC has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy. Proper use of this radio modem results in exposure below government limits. The following precautions are recommended: DO NOT operate the transmitter when someone is within 20 cm (7.8 inches) of the antenna. DO NOT collocate (place within 20 cm) the radio antenna with any other transmitting antenna. DO NOT operate the transmitter unless all RF connectors are secure and any open connectors are properly terminated. DO NOT operate the equipment near electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere. All equipment must be properly grounded according to North installation instructions for safe operation. All equipment should be serviced only by a qualified technician. North Group LTD.
FOR GSM RADIO CAUTION For your own safety, and in terms of the RF Exposure requirements of the FCC, always observe the precautions listed here.

- Always maintain a minimum separation distance of 20 cm (7.8 inches) between yourself and the radiating antenna on the North K-Series Receiver or the radio-modem. - Do not collocate (place within 20 cm) the radio antenna with any other transmitting antenna.
FOR BLUETOOTH RADIO The radiated output power of the internal Bluetooth wireless radio is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the wireless radio shall be used in such a manner that the North receiver is 20 cm or further from the human body. The internal wireless radio operates within guidelines found in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, which reflect the consensus of the scientific community. North therefore believes the internal wireless radio is safe for use by consumers. The level of energy emitted is far less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by wireless devices such as mobile phones. However, the use of wireless radios may be restricted in some situations or environments, such as on aircraft. If you are unsure of restrictions, you are encouraged to ask for authorization before turning on the wireless radio.
Installing antennas CAUTION For your own safety, and in terms of the RF Exposure requirements of the FCC, always observe the precautions listed here. - Always maintain a minimum separation distance of 20 cm (7.8 inches) between yourself and the radiating antenna on the North K-Series Receiver or the radio-modem. - Do not collocate (place within 20 cm) the radio antenna with any other transmitting antenna
This device has been designed to operate with the antennas listed below. UHF Antennas not included in this list, or that have a gain greater than 5 dBi, are strictly prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna impedance is 50 . The antennas that can be used (country dependent) with the 450 MHz radio are 0 dBi and 5 dBi whip antennas. The antenna that can be used with the GSM radio is the 0 dBi whip antenna.
North Group LTD.

To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that permitted for successful communication.

2.2 Use and care The receiver can withstand the rough treatment that typically occurs in the field. However, it is a high-precision electronic instrument and should be treated with reasonable care.
WARNING Operating or storing the receiver outside the specified temperature range can damage it.
High-power signals from a nearby radio or radar transmitter can overwhelm the receiver circuits. This does not harm the instrument, but it can prevent the receiver electronics from functioning correctly. Avoid using the receiver within 400 meters of powerful radar, television, or other transmitters. Low-power transmitters such as those used in cellphones and two-way radios normally do not interfere with receiver operations. For more information, contact your local North distributor
2.3 COCOM limits The U.S. Department of Commerce requires that all exportable GPS products contain performance limitations so that they cannot be used in a manner that could threaten the security of the United States. The following limitations are implemented on the receiver. Immediate access to satellite measurements and navigation results is disabled when the receivers velocity is computed to be greater than 1000 knots, or its altitude is computed to be above 18,000 meters. The receiver continuously resets until the COCOM situation is cleared.

5.3 Default Settings All receiver settings are stored in application files. The default application file, Default.cfg, is stored permanently in the receiver, and contains the factory default settings for the receiver. Whenever the receiver is reset to its factory defaults, the current settings (stored in the current application file, current.cfg) are reset to the values in the default application file. You cannot modify the default application file. However, if there is a power up application file (Power_up.cfg) in the receiver, the settings in this file can be applied immediately after the default application file, overriding the factory defaults.
Default Settings These settings are defined in the default application file.

In the GPS Configuration software, select Connect to Receiver and then click Reset receiver in the Config tab. Contact your local dealer for more information
5.5 Default Behavior The factory defaults specified above are applied whenever you start the receiver. If a power up file is present in the receiver, its settings are applied immediately after the default settings, so you can use a power up file to define your own set of defaults When you turn the receiver on and It is the first time that the receiver has been used you have reset the receiver to its factory defaults you have performed a full reset The logging settings are the factory defaults the factory defaults, or those in the power up file the factory defaults, because resetting deletes any power up file And logging does not begin automatically does not begin automatically does not begin automatically

Appendix A
NMEA 0183 output
This appendix describes the formats of the subset of NMEA-0183 messages that are available for output by the receiver. For a copy of the NMEA-0183 Standard, go to the National Marine Electronics Association Website at www.nmea.org
NMEA-0183 Outputs When NMEA-0183 output is enabled, a subset of NMEA-0183 messages can be output to external instruments and equipment connected to the North receiver serial port. These NMEA-0183 messages let external devices use selected data collected or computed by the receiver. All messages conform to the NMEA-0183 version 3.01 format. All begin with $ and end with a carriage return and a line feed. Data fields follow comma (,) delimiters and are variable in length. Null fields still follow comma (,) delimiters but contain no information. An asterisk (*) delimiter and checksum value follow the last field of data contained in an NMEA0183 message. The checksum is the 8-bit exclusive OR of all characters in the message, including the commas between fields, but not including the $ and asterisk delimiters. The hexadecimal result is converted to two ASCII characters (09, AF). The most significant character appears first. The following table summarizes the set of NMEA messages supported by the receiver, and shows the page where detailed information about each message can be found.

To enable or disable the output of individual NMEA messages, do one of the following: Create an application file in the GPS Configurator software that contains NMEA output settings and then send the file to the receiver. Add NMEA outputs in the Serial outputs tab of the GPS Configurator software and then apply the settings.
1. Common Message Elements Each message contains: A message ID consisting of $GP followed by the message type. For example, the message ID of the GGA message is $GPGGA. A comma A number of fields, depending on the message type, separated by commas An asterisk A checksum value Below is an example of a simple message with a message ID ($GPGGA), followed by 13 fields and a checksum value: $GPGGA,172814.0,3723.46587704,N,12202.26957864,W,2,6,1.2,18.893,M,-25.669,M,2.0,0031*4F North Group LTD.

Appendix C
Setting up RTK system RTK Base Setup Prerequisites You need a tripod and a tribrach to install the base. To power the radio, you need a standard 12-V DC battery (A car, motorcycle, or other kinds can be used). Datalink UHF Radiomodem
Mount the different items shown as the picture
North Group LTD.
1) Put tripod on a location with known coordinates or unknown coordinates, attach receiver to tribrach. 2) Precisely level and center the instrument 3) Set the transmitting antenna and radio: using pole support is better, rise the antenna as high as possible, and then put the radio at suitable position.
48
WARNING: There is sequence for the cables linking to Radiomodem 1. Affix the antenna cable to the radio. 2. Affix the Power cable to the radio 3. Affix the data cable to the radio
4) Make sure the connection is right, and then switch on the radio and mainframe.
GSM/GPRS Model Mount the different items shown as the picture
For GPRS mode is not necessary to set up the radio antenna North Group LTD.
1.1 RTK Rover Setup
Prerequisites
49

If a radio link is used with the base, your rover should normally have been fitted with the radio module that matches the reception band covered by the radio transmitter used at the base. If a GPRS connection is used, rover should normally have been fitted with the SIM card that will allow it to perform a network connection. Remove the rear cover, this gives access to an electronic card on which you can insert the SIM card as shown on the picture.
Radio Link 1) Install the pole, rover and receiving antenna, then power on the mainframe. 2) Install the bracket, fix the handheld to the bracket, open the handheld to connect the Bluetooth, then you can do the setting of the instrument.
As a standard feature, the receiver incorporates a built-in GSM modem. Mount the different items as shown on the above Figure, including the receiver, the range pole, and the field terminal with its mounting bracket. North Group LTD.
How to measure the antenna height?
The height of receiver is 78mm, the diameter is 208mm, and the height from the center of the sealed rubber ring to the bottom is 47mm.
50

The antenna height is conventionally defined as the vertical height from the phase centre to the ground surveyed point (the distance h in the follow fig). It is not possible to measure it directly: you have to measure other reachable heights (the distances a and s in fig). The distance a is the vertical height from the ground to the mainframes bottom (bottom of antenna), the distance s is measured from the ground surveyed point to the middle of the rubber ring and is called bottom of notch. You have to choose the measuring method according to the used software:
