S800A brings you the utmost experience. One new features inside S800A is Atlas reception : Atlas is a differential corrections systems broadcasted on L-Band, allowing increase in position accuracy in area not covered by conventional Cors working under Ntrip Technology ( lack of reference stations, lack of GPRS signals, etc ).
Transportation:during the transport, the receiver and its accessories must be reasonably placed in its transport container, to protect against shock and vibration. Specially note that S800A contains a non-removable internal Lithium Battery, whose national and international regulations must be observed and fulfilled in transportation.
2. S800A Surveying System S800A surveying system consists of three main components, namely receiver, handheld and accessories. In the following parts are their introductions. 2.1 S800A Receiver 2.1.1 Receiver appearance The receiver’s dimension is 146mm*146mm*76mm, weighting 1.2kg, with its appearance as illustrated in Figure 2-1. The front side is control panel, consisting of 1 power button and 4 indicators.
2-pin LEMO port: charge for internal battery, connect adaptor. 5-pin LEMO port: connect external power supply and external radio 7-pin LEMO port: connect PC or handheld, USB+serial port 2.1.3 Control Panel Control Panel is illustrated in Figure 2-3. S800A GNSS Receiver – User Manual...

Self-check functionality is to check whether every module works normally. When S800A receiver has indicators off or module doesn’t work normally, you can use self-check to inspect the receiver. S800A self-check consists of four parts, namely GPS, radio, WIFI and Bluetooth. The self-check results will be voice broadcasted in the process.
These two containers have similar appearances but their insert layouts are different. (S800A containers are still under production.) 2.2.2 Adaptor S800A receiver adopts internal battery. You can use adaptor to charge the receiver. S800A receiver and handheld share the same adaptor model as illustrated in Figure 2-12.
