GPS Module*
The GPS module has to be connected to the camera in order to be used. It can be plugged into the 14-
pin connector on the VarioCAM
the camera is switched on. However, the GPS display will not be updated anymore, after disconnection.
The last GPS value will be frozen and added to all new *.IRB files. .
Please grab only the lower third of the module when connecting/disconnecting and do not cant.
Please note that the Lemo connector does not interlock at the module.
After connecting the GPS module to the camera, the "power source" setting has to be checked or
activated. It is active, as long as the option "power source" is selected. Following this, the options "ext.
sensor" and "sensor cyclic" have to be activated in the camera menu (see Fig. 131). If the option
"sensor cyclic" is activated/deactivated first, the option "ext. sensor" will automatically be
activated/deactivated with it.
Periodic updates ("sensor cyclic") should always be enabled to receive current coordinates, unless the
coordinates are only needed once.
Initially, the module will be started up. The camera will show the line "Please wait..." on its display, see
Fig. 135. This process might take a few minutes, depending on the reception at the camera position. The
running start-up process is indicated by the alternating display of "GPS=Init" and "GPS=init" (changes
every 10 seconds):

After receiving a GPS signal, the availability will be indicated on the screen: "GPS=Active". The validity of
the received data will be indicated by the alternating display of "GPS=Active" and "GPS=active".
