Firmware updates for receivers are fairly common and for most of us it means getting all the receivers together and hitching them up to a PC one at a time for updating. With the TRIUMPH-VS receiver there is a better way. Firmware and software updates are performed via the Internet (over GSM, WiFi or Ethernet) on the unit itself with a couple of clicks.
The Triumph-VS GNSS antenna is a stacked microstrip multipatch model that supports GPS, GLONASS and Galileo (L1 GPS/GLONASS/Galileo; L2 GPS/GLONASS; L3 GLONASS;L5 GPS; E5 Galileo). Unless you plan on using the TRIUMPH-VS as a CORS station, you simply won’t need another antenna. 2.2. Controller TRIUMPH-VS boasts a “wide”...

The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible. A single external power supply with 5 pin ODU connector or SAE connector is necessary to operate TRIUMPH-VS. If external power supply has only SAE connector, Receiver-to-SAE power cable shall be used. The external power supply needs to be Listed for US and Certified for EU countries, it needs also to be a Limited Power Source and rated for Outdoor Use and have an output rated for 10...30 V DC, 5A.
3.4. Turning On/Off the Receiver To turn ON the receiver, press and hold the power button on the top of TRIUMPH-VS. To turn OFF the receiver, press and hold the power button for more than one seconds (until the special Power Off screen appears).
You also have the option of using the bottom camera to center the TRIUMPH-VS over a point visually (and of course snap an image at the same time as you collect the point). This use of a graduated monopod is a new idea from JAVAD GNSS. Because you don’t need a level bubble (the TRIUMPH-VS clinometers take care of that), monopod use is a...
