Leica SR530 Instructions

Instructions for Connecting the Leica SR530 GPS Rover to a SpiderNet,
NTRIP or VRS Network with SurvCE and Carlson TCP Relay
For users of Carlson's SurvCE product wishing to connect to a reference network that
requires a GGA position message sent from the rover to the network, an initial setup step
must be taken with the Leica TR500 ('Red Tongue') controller. Once this configuration
step is done, the TR500 may be removed and will not be needed again unless the system
memory on the SR530 is cleared.
Step 1: Connect the TR500 to the SR530 and power on the system
Step 2: Press the "CONFIG" button on the keypad, followed by 4 for "Interfaces".
Step 3: Ensure that "1 Real-Time" is highlighted and press F3 for "Edit".
Step 4: Press F5 for "Device".
Step 5: Ensure that "*RS232" is highlighted and press F3 for "Edit". Note: You may
receive a conflict warning that this device is used by another port. Press F5 for "OK".
Step 6: Note the baud rate, parity, data bits and stop bits in this screen. They will be the
ones to enter in TCP Relay for sending corrections to the GPS receiver. Typical values
are 9600, None, 8, 1.
Step 7: Press F1 for "CONT" and F1 for "CONT" again.
Step 8: Press F6 for "REF".
Step 9: Ensure that "Ref Service" is highlighted and use the Enter and arrow keys to set
this option to "VRS". Ensure that "Send User ID" is set to "NO". TCP Relay will handle
this and conflict will result if this is not set to "NO".
Step 10: Press F1 for "CONT" three (3) times to return to the Main Menu.
Step 11: Power off the SR530 with the On/Off key and remove the TR500 controller.
Step 12: Ensure that your WinCE data collector is connected to the Internet and has 2
viable RS232 ports. You will need a cable to connect your data collector to the Terminal
port on the SR530 (cable 560254 is recommended) and a cable to connect Port 1 of the
SR530 to your data collector (cable 563809, paired with a null-modem and gender
changer may be used, or the cable 733280 – GEV 160 – sold as an accessory to the
system 1200).
Step 13: Connect the cable from the Terminal port on the SR530 to COM1 on your CE
device. Connect the cable from Port 1 on the SR530 to COM2 on your CE device.
Step 14: Ensure that SurvCE and TCP Relay are installed and registered on your CE
device. Launch SurvCE.
Step 15: From the Equip tab, go to GPS Rover and select Manufacturer: Leica and
Model: Leica SR530. Under the Comms tab select Type: Cable, Port: COM 1, Baud:
9600, Parity: None, Data Bits: 8, Stop Bits: 1.
