Receiver Installation

Weather conditions The equipment is conforms to environment rating (IP67), which makes it dust-proof and protects it against contact with solids and liquids and makes it able to withstand pressure and water leakage when the unit is submerged to a maximum of 1m.

However, you must take reasonable care to keep the unit dry.

To improve the performance and long-term reliability of the receiver avoid exposing the receiver to extreme environmental conditions, such as:

• Water • Heat: above 75 ° C • Cold: less than -40 ° C • Liquids and corrosive gases

External Antenna location Before mounting the antenna on the reference station, you should carefully plan where to locate the antenna and think how you will be able get precise coordinates.

You should choose a place which is as free as possible from interference, where the antenna has a clear view of the sky and where there are no obstructions above the elevation of 10°.

If there are obstacles above 10°, or large metal objects nearby, the rover can collect data from satellites that the reference station cannot pick up. These data cannot be used in DGPS RTK rover or solutions.


15

Batteries and Power

Powering to Settop M1 The receiver uses an external power source. If the receiver is not connected to an external power source or if the external power supply fails, the receiver will shut down automatically without storing the data and controlling external devices. The data that has been stored will not be lost. When the external power source is restored, the computer will boot automatically with the last settings loaded. Autopower option must be enabled (ON) in the System Settings section.

The battery supplied with the receiver Settop M1 is a rechargeable 12V NiMH Settop 9Ah which allows continuous operation for up to 8 hours and with a special integrated battery the Settop M1 receivers capacity increases to 14Ah that allows the unit to work continuously for more than 13 hours. Also, to ensure continuity of operation it can be connected to the mains transformer with 12V - 32V.

You must press the button (red circle) for attaching and detach the battery and M1.


16

Powering to other devices Settop M1 can power other devices connected through the COM1 or COM2 slots. To do so, System Settings must indicate on the bridge option the limit of power supply you want, cutting off at the time of peak indicated.

Power limits are 15V, 20V, 25V and 30V.

The bridge is configured in both directions, that is, from COM1 to COM2 and COM2 to COM1.

WARNING: Before you activate the bridge, make sure that the computer can receive the maximum voltage setting. Improper use of this option, can damage the computer, leaving it unusable.

19

Sources of electrical interference

High power signals from a nearby radio or radar transmitter can overwhelm the receiver circuits. This does not harm the instrument, but can prevent the electronic receiver from working properly.

Avoid placing the receiver or antenna at least 400 meters from the following sources of electricity and / or magnetic noise:

• Powerful Radar • Gasoline engines (spark plugs) • TVs and computer monitors • GNSS antennas. • Alternators and generators • Electric motors • Equipment with DC-AC converters • Fluorescent lights • Switching power supplies

Low-power transmitters such as cell phones and two-way radios normally do not interfere with the operation of the receiver.

It is recommended that you use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to power the receiver. A UPS protects equipment from surges and spikes, and keeps the receiver operating during power outages of short duration.

For more information, contact Settop Survey ([email protected]).


20

Configuring the receiver using web interface

The software of the Settop M1 has been designed as a web application. This means that no type of software installation is necessary on the computer and you only have to connect to its interface web via a local network or via Internet and you can interact with the application. The user interface is really easy to use and supplies the user with all the information he needs about his instrument by simply turning on the application. The web is divided into three basic parts: information about the system (System status), configuration of the system (System configuration) and interactive site.

Radio Settings

The configuration of the radio allows you to choose between Protocol, Channel, Sensitivity, Power and type of corrections,

Eligible protocols:

• Transparent w EOT timeout • Transparent w EOT character • Packet switched • TrimMark II / IIe • TrimTalk 450S • SATEL • TT450 S (HW) • TrimMark 3

The radio channels should be in the frequency range from 390 to 430 MHz or between 430 to 470 MHz, depending on the radio model and geographic location.

The sensitivity should be set depending on what you are going to give the Settop M1. High sensitivity is recommended for jobs like configuring Rover and low sensitivity when working as Base.

Power can be 0.1, 0.5 and 1W.

Output types are CMR+ or RTCM3.0

NOTE: All USA users, must check the CSMA setting


42

System Configuration

In the System section there are two subsections that show the Settop M1 configuration.

The first subsection indicates the “status” of the receiver, indicating the connection method on COM1 and

COM2 ports and if they can be connected via RS232 , USB (Master).

The second part indicates the settings options that are configurable.

When the option Auto power is set to OFF , the device does not automatically turn on when the power supply is connected.

If Auto power is set to ON the device will automatically turn on when the power supply is connected.

Below the icon is the current configuration. To change it, you have to press OK.

Bridge is the option to power other devices connected to COM1 or COM2 from Settop M1, it should indicate the maximum power. In the event of exceeding this limit, the power is cut off. This limit can be 15V, 20V, 25V and 30V.

NOTE: In monitoring applications the voltage is fixed to 15V.


43

The bridge is set up to operate from either COM1- COM2 or COM2 – COM1.

To activate the bridge it is necessary to press OK.

The red arrow icon indicates that the bridge is not activated .

The Language option allows you to select English or Spanish language. The change is not made until you press OK.

On the second screen of the system setup, there are internal options that are only available to qualified technical service.

Update Option: Used to update the Settop M1 to the latest firmware.

By pressing Check for a new version it connects to Settop Upgrade Servers and if there is some new version available it will start to download the latest firmware.


44

After downloading the latest version. The unit must be rebooted

If there aren’t new versions it appears a message

SAT Option: This is reserved for Technical Service. You must enter a password to access


45

Internal Option: This is reserved for Technical Service. You must enter a password to access

Manage Option: Allows user management system. User may change the username and password of the administrator of the Settop M1. You can also manage usernames and passwords for caster users (create and delete users).

Reboot Option: Closes all routines, turns off the receiver and turns it on again.


46

APPENDIX I - Examples of Configuration The following section is intended to give some basic guidelines and tips on how to assemble and configure the Settop M1 in a few simple steps for the various utilities for which it was designed. These recommendations are only in order to get a basic idea of the potential of Settop M1.

NOTE: The configurations listed below are examples of how to configure the equipment.This doesn’t mean that this is the only way to configure the system. The final configuration is the decision of the user.


47

Simple Base Mode For the simple base configuration the following accessories are necessary:

• External GPS Antenna • Antenna Cable • Tribrach • Extension • Tripod • Settop integrated battery or external battery

You can use the internal communication modules (either the modem or telephony radio module) to transmit the signal to the other rover receivers.

After installing the base in the desired location, you proceed to configure it through the computer or mobile device with Wi-Fi. You can also connect to another controller (via Bluetooth), but in this case it would be an external control software.

Once in the GPS section and the GPSBase mode, enter the base name and enter the coordinates. Geodetic (GG.gggggg) or UTM (Easting, Northing, Height, Zone) coordinates can be entered. If you don't


48

know the precise coordinates, you can press the button Here to automatically enter the field coordinates giving an accuracy of 1-2 meters (depending on the location, satellites number, etc). If could previously connect to another base or caster and the receiver is in RTK Fixed, the accuracy will be better. The accuracy of the base you set will be given by the received corrections.

To finish the setting, you must select the antenna type and height.

Pressing OK will accept the settings and the equipment will start to transmit on the frequency and format selected in Radio tab. Automatically it will generate a caster offering RTCM and CMR+, to connect through the Internet

A very common Radio example:

• Protocol: TrimTalk 450S • Sensitivity: Low

The channel and power depend on the environment in which the Settop M1 is to be located.

After setting up, base icon will appear in the top bar of the current configuration, with the number of satellites being received at this time.


49

Rover Mode For use as rover configuration the following accessories are necessary:

• External GPS Antenna • Antenna Cable • Range pole • Battery integrated Settop Or

• Bag / Backpack for transporting the receiver Settop M1 • External Battery

In the same way as in the base configuration, you will benefit from the internal communication modules available (radio or telephone modem) to receive the corrections sent through a reference or base station.

You can use the connection to the computer or controller with external software to store data. Also, you can store data pressing Accept and you can visualize all data if you press Survey Data. After that, you can download the file.


50

When using the web interface you only need to select the antenna type and key in the height and press OK to start receiving corrections supported by the Settop M1 (which are: CMR, CMR +, RTCM 2.3, RTCM 3.0. ) via the radio.

A common radio configuration if you are using a rover mode is:

• Protocol: TrimTalk 450S • Sensitivity: High The channel and power also depend on how you configured the Base

If you have a SIM card for GPRS data download (rates depends on the contract with the operator) in the M1 receptor, can receive corrections via NTRIP protocol. To do this, we must firstly go to Caster Settings.

In Client, we introduce the numerical value of IP and Port. If necessary a username and password (provided by the service manager) must be entered in the appropriate boxes.


51

Next, press List to list the available mount points on the server. Mountpoint is selected and you press ON. If all parameters are correct, the selected point on green, if there is an error (usually username and / or password) the mountpoints will appear in red.

Once you are receiving the appropriate corrections, we can go to tab GPS Rover.


52

Reference Base for infrastructure mode For installation as a baseline for infrastructure you need the following accessories:

• External antenna GPS • Antenna Cable (Long) • External radio antenna • Cable radio (Long) • UPS

For the configuration of a reference base station it is necessary to ensure continuous power to the Settop M1. The specified ports to receive power are COM1. The GPS antenna should be placed on the top of the building and at an “open” site to ensure optimum satellite reception. An external radio antenna is also necessary to ensure radio coverage in the defined area. The distance between the Settop M1 and the GPS antenna or radio antenna should not be further than 30m because the quality of the signal declines. Both antennas are connected to the corresponding connectors.

Through the web interface you can access the base section:


53

Once in the GPS section and GPSBase mode, enter the database name and load the coordinates, where they are already known. Geodetic format can be entered (GG.gggggg) or UTM (Easting, Northing, Height, Zone). If you don’t know the precise coordinates, you can press the button Here and the coordinates will appear automatically with an accuracy of 1-2 meters.

By pressing OK you will accept the settings and the equipment will then be transmitting on the frequency selected and the selected format in paragraph Radio.

A very common radio setting to use in Simple Base mode is:

• Protocol: TrimTalk 450S • Sensitivity: None or Low

The channel and power depend on the environment in which the Settop M1 is located.

Once the base set appears in the top bar of the current configuration, with the number of satellites currently receiving. To take full advantage of a Reference Station as Settop M1, it is advisable that the machine's IP is static.


54

In this way, users can always connect to the same IP and port without configuring the computer every time it reboots. Transmission formats are CMR+ and RTCM 3.0

With the baseline already configured, data can be sent over the Internet to another computer located in the headquarters of the company, for example. To do this, you should go to Caster option and enable IP ports of those hosts.


55

Maritime Jobs Mode To use a Settop M1 for marine works you will need the following accessories:

• External Antenna • Antenna Cable • UPS / External Battery • Cable PPS output • Sounder • Transducer

To set the receiver Settop M1 for maritime works you must ensure continuous supply, either through an integrated battery Settop M1, an external battery NiMH or a power supply.

The GPS antenna needs to be connected to the vertical transducer and fastened securely to the boat.

The echo sounder will be connected through the COM1 or COM2 ports with the special cable with PPS output. The computer is connected via the COM that is free.

Through M1 webservice, go to Configuration GPS and configure the following strings NMEA: GGA, ZDA, VTG (these strings are used depending on the software used) at 5Hz.


56

A common radio configuration if you are using rover mode is:

• Protocol: TrimTalk 450S • Sensitivity: High

The channel and power also depend on how you have configured the Base.

Another option to receive corrections with SETTOP M1 is connected as a client to a NTRIP caster and entering the IP and port of the server, along with a username and password (if necessary) would get the corrections by mobile phone.


57

Control Center Monitoring / Monitoring Mode For monitoring / static auscultation you need the following accessories:

• External antenna GPS (if monitoring with GPS) • Antenna Cable. • Total Station. • UPS

To perform a static monitoring or continuous monitoring job it is necessary to ensure continuous power supply to the receiver. To do this, connect the power supply into the COM1 or COM2 slot.

The connection with the total station is via COM 2 but can also be done via Bluetooth (see Connecting to the Total Station) . We recommend using a cable connection because with a USB connection you can reset the system if the system fails. Another difference between using the wireless or cable system is the number of stations that can be controlled. While Bluetooth can control up to 4 stations, USB cable can only handle a single total station but is a better option in case the system fails, as mentioned before.

In the case of GPS, corrections are also required. The antenna should be in a place with an “open sky” and connected via antenna cable to the connector. The purpose of using a GPS is to discern whether the station is in a zone of influence. It is not advisable to exceed the 30m distance between the antenna and the Settop M1.

Through the web interface you can access the total station. If it is connected, the light appears in green (next to the symbol used: Bluetooth or USB connection) and the control of the movements are performed through external software, like TDCM (TDCM see Software Manual).


58

Centre Mode Control for Dynamic Controls A dynamic control is the monitoring of a structure / block must be located on a site and it can be used for GPS or total stations. Depending on whether you are tracking with GPS or total station, it will take one or the other components.

Dynamic Monitoring with GPS

For dynamic monitoring you need the following accessories:

• External antenna GPS (1 SETTOP M1 per antena) • Antenna Cable

To perform an monitoring or continuous monitoring job it is necessary to ensure continuous power supply to the receiver. To do this, connect the power supply into the COM1. The antenna should be in a place with an “open sky” and connected via antenna cable to the connector. The purpose of using a GPS is to discern whether the station is in a zone of influence. It is not advisable to exceed the 30m distance between the antenna and the Settop M1

To set up a dynamic monitoring with GPS, it is necessary to go to the GPS Rover tab. There you only need to select the type of antenna and key in height and press OK to start receiving corrections supported by the Settop M1 (they are: CMR, CMR +, RTCM 2.3, RTCM 3.0.) via the radio.


59

A common radio configuration if you are working in rover mode is:

• Protocol: Trimtalk • Sensitivity: High

It is possible that you will require more than one receiver Settop M1 for proper dynamic monitoring. It will depend the points, antennas and stations to be controlled and the connection method used. Settings are the same for the other receivers. Once the receivers are configured, we go to the external control software to control the movements of the structure.

Dynamic Monitoring with Total Station

For dynamic monitoring you need the following accessories:

• Total Station High Precision • USB cable • Targets

To perform an monitoring or continuous monitoring job it is necessary to ensure continuous power supply to the receiver. To do this, connect the power supply into the COM1.

The connection with the total station is via port 2 but can also be done via Bluetooth (see section Connecting to the Total Station). We recommend using cable connection because with a USB connection you can reset the system if in the event of failure. Another difference between using the wireless or cable system is the number of stations that can be controlled. While Bluetooth can control up to 4 stations, USB cable can only handle a single total station.

Through the web interface you can access the total station. If it is connected, the light appears in green (next to the symbol used: Bluetooth or USB connection) and the control of the movements are performed through external software, like TDCM and the software for the structures.


60

Guided Mode Control of Cranes For placement of blocks with a crane you need the following accessories:

• External antenna GPS • Antenna Cable 30m (For other cases consult your SETTOP Dealer)

For placing concrete blocks on certain sites with the precision that an RTK GPS generates you need the GPS antenna position to be on top of the vertical boom crane. Also, the Settop M1 must be powered by an external battery which is connected to COM1 or COM2.

Through the web interface, in order to access the section GPS Rover, you only need to select the type of antenna and key in height and press OK to start receiving data corrections supported by the Settop M1 (which are: CMR, CMR +, RTCM 2.3, RTCM 3.0.) via the radio or NTRIP connection.

A common radio configuration if you are using rover mode:

• Protocol: Trimtalk • Sensitivity: High


61

The channel and power also depend on how you configured the Base.

An external software (like Hypack or GPSat (see software manual)), shows the location of the blocks that the crane has to put in place.


62

APPENDIX II - FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) LED indicators can provide information about possible problems with the Settop M1 receiver. A fast and continuous flashing light indicates an error in the indicated part of the receiver.

What to do if the receiver does not turn on. The first step to take is to check the power supply. First, check the battery and then check the cable, particularly the plugs and see if you notice any defects or if one is missing. The third step is to check the cable connection. Make sure the cable is connected properly, matching the red dot with the corresponding point of the connector. Press the power button to turn on the receiver.

Satellite LED does not light up Satellite LED is off, indicating no satellite reception. Make sure the power supply reaches the receiver and is switched on. Also, make sure the antenna cable is in a perfect condition and connected to the corresponding output, indicated with the symbol.

The GPS antenna must not be covered with anything that can cast a shadow on it.

If after checking the power and the connections you still aren’t receiving the satellite antenna, it is recommended that you reboot the system.

If after restarting the system you still aren’t receiving the satellites, contact YOUR Settop Service Center

The total station is not responding The total station that is linked to the M1 doesn’t measure or doesn’t respond properly. In order to get it working correctly, you need to reset the Total Station. If the station is connected via USB cable in the COM2 port, you can do this remotely with the Internet connection.

If the stations are connected via Bluetooth, you have to manually disconnect and reconnect the Total station power supply.

The total station is not linked The Bluetooth list changes to green (connected and linked) but it is not responding to commands. You should check that no other receiver has been linked.
