Chapter 2 Equipment Description; Gps Receiver Module - Thales Z-Max Operation And Application Manual

Equipment Description
The modular approach of the Z-Max Receiver system has been designed to simplify
survey configuration, use, and setup. It is important to become familiar with each of
the modules and its function and capabilities. All of the modules that comprise the Z-
Max Surveying System are listed in Chapter 1. In this chapter, we introduce and
provide a functional overview for each module.
In Chapter 3 - Getting Started, we will present a more detailed initiation and put these
components together to create a working system.

GPS Receiver Module

The Z-Max GPS Receiver Module is the main receiver module (Figure 2.1). The GPS
Receiver Module contains the GPS receiver, the memory card, front panel display,
external serial ports, USB port, and power port. The GPS Receiver Module also
contains the internal Bluetooth module that allows the receiver to wirelessly
communicate with external devices. Virtually all the modules will attach in some way
to the GPS Receiver Module.
