Handheld Computer - Gps Receiver; Figure 3.3 External Power Port Connection - Thales Z-Max Operation And Application Manual

Figure 3.3 External Power Port Connection

The Power Module and external power sources can each be used alone or at the
same time. As long as one or the other power source is plugged in, the receiver will
operate without interruption. When both the Power Module and external power source
are used, the Z-Max will draw power from the external source first. If the voltage
supplied to the external port is insufficient to power the receiver, the Z-Max will
automatically switch over to the Power Module with no interruption in operation.

Handheld Computer - GPS Receiver

Handheld computers (Figure 3.4) may be used to control the Z-Max during surveying
operations. The use of a handheld computer with application software can add
significant utility to the system. Connection of the handheld computer is accomplished
either wirelessly using the Bluetooth protocol module, or with a cable. If the handheld
interface with the receiver is wireless, no physical connection is required. The
Bluetooth module in the receiver is on anytime the receiver is powered on. Make sure
that the Bluetooth module is present in handheld terminal.
