• Once you get your subscription, refer to Validating RTX Subscription on page 41 to make it active in your SP60. IMPORTANT: The best accuracy the SP60 can deliver depends on the RTK option installed, regardless of the subscribed RTX service. For example, it wouldn’t make sense to purchase a subscription to CenterPoint RTX if the receiver can only operate in 30/30 RTK. -

Page 17: Height Mark
Height Mark The height mark ([8]) is nested in the shock absorber, near the serial connector. When the receiver is mounted on a tripod – for use as a base for example – making a slant measurement to determine the instrument height is often more convenient than making a vertical measurement from the ground mark to the antenna base. -
Page 18: Buzzer
Buzzer The buzzer can be heard in the following cases: • Bluetooth: – When the data collector establishes a Bluetooth connection with the receiver, – When this connection gets lost. • Internal battery: When the internal battery gets low (less than 20% of nominal charge), the buzzer sounds briefly. -
Page 19: Using Sp60 For The First Time
Using SP60 for the First Time WARNING - This receiver uses a rechargeable Lithium-ion battery. To avoid personal injury or equipment damage, make sure that you read and understand the safety information at the front of this guide. The battery is shipped partially charged. Depending on the time elapsed since then, the remaining charge may be even less. -
Page 20: Inserting The Battery
Inserting the As opposed to previous receiver models, the battery trapdoor of the SP60 can entirely be detached from the receiver case. Battery As explained below, the battery is first inserted into the inner side of the trapdoor and then inserted into the receiver case, together with the trapdoor. -

Page 26: L-Band Rover (Trimble Rtx)
L-Band Rover The SP60 is L-band ready (no firmware option needed), which means it can receive corrections from a Trimble RTX (Trimble RTX) corrections service, via an L-band geostationary satellite, provided you have subscribed to this service. With a currently valid subscription, the SP60 will be able to compute and deliver positions with the announced accuracy for the chosen service, provided it is in line with the RTK option installed. -
Page 27: Introducing Sp60 As Local Base
Introducing SP60 as Local Base Possible Local Base The SP60 can be used as a local base, delivering its corrections through one of the following devices: Configurations • Long-Range Bluetooth: For baselines less than 800 meters (0.5 mile), the local base will be able to deliver its corrections to a rover over a long-range Bluetooth connection. -
Page 28: Configuring Sp60
Configuring SP60 NOTICE: It is assumed you have a good knowledge of the field software you are using. This section will only focus on the key settings for implementing each of the available SP60 operating modes as rover or base. Remember other settings may be required as you go along. -

Page 37: Anti-Theft And Startup Protections
Anti-Theft and Startup Protections Anti-Theft Purpose Protection The SP60 integrates an anti-theft function to protect your equipment while it is left operating unattended. This protection is intended for a SP60 operated as a base. The anti-theft protection will discourage the theft of an SP60 receiver by rendering it useless without the anti-theft password. -
Page 38: What Will Happen When A Theft Is Detected
What Will Happen When a Theft is Detected? The protected receiver will switch to “theft mode”, that is: • The buzzer will regularly emit a sound alarm in quick succession, and for an indefinite period of time. • All output messages will be stopped (the protected base receiver will no longer generate and transmit corrections, or any other NMEA or raw data messages). -
Page 39: Startup Protection
Startup Protection Purpose The SP60 integrates a protection from illegal use. With this protection active, only authorized operators will be allowed to use the receiver, after they have entered their password. Enabling/Disabling Startup Protection This protection may be enabled or disabled from the data collector controlling the receiver. -
