FAST Terminal
The FAST Terminal is offered as an option with the Z-Max system for RTK
surveys. It is lightweight, durable and weather resistant for use in outdoor
environments. The FAST Terminal allows both wireless and cabled connections
from the Z-Max Receiver Module to the PC. When using a cable connection, the
FAST Terminal should be connected to serial port A on the GPS Receiver Module
(labeled SERIAL A). The FAST Terminal supports use of Bluetooth wireless with a
module that is installed in the compact flash receptacle of the device. The
compact flash receptacle is located underneath the FAST Terminal battery in a
compartment located at the lower back of the device.

Mounting the System to the Pole

At the base of the receiver GPS Receiver Module is a 5/8" threaded receptacle. If
your survey pole contains a removable brass adapter with a 5/8" bolt on top, it is
easier to attach the brass adapter to the base of the receiver and then seat the
