Completing Rover
Radio Setup
Once the UHF module has been secured to the receiver (see
Installing the UHF Module into the Receiver on page 47) and
properly configured, do the following:
• Screw the UHF whip antenna onto the coaxial connector
of the UHF module ([6]). The antenna will therefore be
oriented vertically upside down when used.
NOTE: Being placed in vertical position, the UHF antenna
will stay as sensitive as if it were oriented the other way
round.
• Take the top rod of the fiberglass range pole provided in
the SP80 UHF kit. Insert first its end with special tapping,
not 5/8” tapping, around the UHF antenna ([7]).
CAUTION - This special tapping uses a thinner thread
compared to the standard 5/8” one. For this reason, be
careful when you start screwing the rod into the UHF
module. Make sure the rod fits well in the threaded part
of the UHF module.
• Screw the top rod onto the threaded part of the UHF
module. Spin the rod, rather than the receiver, when doing
this.
• The receiver + top rod assembly can then be mounted on
top of the other part of the range pole (the bottom rod).
• Complete the setup of your SP80 + UHF radio rover
system by attaching the data collector onto the range pole.
You are now ready for a survey.
