2 Setting up the receiver This chapter provides general information on environmental requirements, setup, power supply and connection of the NAVIK 100 receiver. 2.1 Environmental requirements To keep the receiver with a reliable performance, it is better to use the receiver in safe environmental conditions: ...
The receiver is equipped with one rechargeable Lithium-ion battery, which can be removed for charging. The NAVIK 100 receiver adopts the hot swap battery design that provides you an effective survey workflow. Receiver is powered by high capacity 6800 mAh Li-ion battery. Its operating time depends on that it is working as a rover or as a base station with internal UHF Tx (transmit at 1 W adjustable).
The receiver is connected to an external power supply through a lemo to RS232 cable, and make sure that the red alligator clip is connected to the positive of external power supply, black one to negative. Over-voltage function cannot protect your NAVIK 100 receiver if reverse connection. 2.5 Pole-mounted setup To mount the receiver on a range pole as the figure shown below: ...
Install the controller into the bracket 3 General Operation This chapter introduces all controls for the general operation, including button functions and all LED behaviours on the front panel. 3.1 Button functions Power button: Press the power button for about 1 second to turn on the receiver; To turn off the receiver, long press the button for 3 seconds until all LEDs off.
Static GNSS surveys deliver the highest-accuracy positions available in a system, which occupies a point for longer periods of time than kinematic systems. Static systems include a range of survey styles from rapid static surveys to continuously operating stations, such as CORS sites. The equipment setup varies significantly, depending on how long the site will be operational, which could vary from 15 minutes to several years.
GNSS receivers generally collect and store the raw GNSS data in a proprietary format, which may need to be translated into a different format for data processing or data sharing. RINEX (Receiver Independent Exchange Format) is the ubiquitously accepted data format for raw GNSS data. Reference site data is generally provided in RINEX.
5 Real-Time Kinematic Survey (RTK) This chapter introduces how to conduct RTK Survey with Geo Master app, including software installation, start a new project, receiver connection and RTK working modes (Radio and GPRS). 5.1 Installation of GEO Master We can download the GEO Master app from the download center tab of the company section of the website name apogeegnss.com.

2. Connection: Click Select to go into Bluetooth connection interface. 3. Work mode: Click select to go into Quick Setup interface to start your receiver as Base/Rover. If you start your receiver as Rover, then you can start work directly of Topo survey or stakeout.
If you start your receiver as Base, after Disconnect with Base, there will be a Prompt. YES: will guide you to start Rover in Wizard interface; NO: will exit Wizard. 5.3 Start a New Project Click Project, select Predefinedor User definedcoordinate system. Also, you can use the same Datum with an existing project.

Predefined: You can select the coordinate system directly. GEO Master has coordinate systems of all countries in the list. User defined: If you cannot find the coordinate system you want in predefined, follow instructions below to add a datum. Enter Name—select an existing Ellipsoid—select a proper Projection and input the corresponding parameters.
5.5 Internal Radio Mode NAVIK 100 GNSS receiver supports transmit & receive the correction data in internal radio mode. To conduct the RTK survey in internal radio mode, it requires: 1) A controller with software installed 2) An extension bar...
External Antenna. And others no need change. NAVIK 100 GNSS Receiver External Antenna 5.5.1 Start Base Station by GEO Master Firstly, build Bluetooth connection between the NAVIK 100 receiver and your controller. Secondly, modify parameters including correction format, antenna type and communication protocols:...

Choose Protocol and Frequency for Base receiver. Start mode: Fix position (Manual Base setup) means you have a known coordinate for Base, or get a point from GNSS.
5.5.2 Start Rover Station by Geo Master Survey App Connect GEO Master with NAVIK 100 receiver via Bluetooth. Set same protocol and frequency with Base receiver. The current status on the bottom will change from Single to Fixed.

5.7.1 Internal GSM In Internal GSM mode, you need to set the data link as Internal GSM, Sever, IP Port. 6 Basic Survey Functions This section describes the basic survey functions of Geo Master, including point measurement, Topo survey, Auto survey, Area survey, Static, PPK, staking, site calibration, import and export measured points.
6.3 Stake points/lines Go into Stake point interface, click to choose a point and tap Stake. GEO Master provides a navigation map when staking points/lines. If you are close to the target point enough, it will alarm you based on the alarm range you set. Enter the point name and code based on your requirements.
6.5 Site calibration/Grid Reset Site calibration is commonly needed once in one project, and all the points will be collected based on calibrated datum system. 6.5.1 Site Calibration This is in the progressing state. 6.6 Area Calculation and COGO This is in the progressing state. 7 Data Export/Import With import/export functions, you can import and export any survey data, files and stake points/lines fluently.
7.2 Export Tap Export to export survey points. File format: support *.csv, *.dxf, *.txt format The default export path is .../../..
