DANGER If the product is used with accessories, for example on masts, staffs, poles, you may increase the risk of being struck by lightning. Danger from high voltages also exists near power lines. Lightning, voltage peaks, or the touching of power lines can cause damage, injury and death. Precautions: ▶ Do not use the product in a thunderstorm as you can increase the risk of being struck by lightning. ▶ Be sure to remain at a safe distance from electrical installations.
WARNING If the product is used with accessories, for example masts, staffs, poles, you may increase the risk of being struck by lightning. Precautions: ▶ Do not use the product in a thunderstorm. WARNING High mechanical stress, high ambient temperatures or immersion into fluids can cause leakage, fire or explosions of the batteries. Precautions: ▶ Protect the batteries from mechanical influences and high ambient temperatures. Do not drop or immerse batteries into fluids.
WARNING If the product is improperly disposed of, the following can happen: • • • If polymer parts are burnt, poisonous gases are produced which may impair health. If batteries are damaged or are heated strongly, they can explode and cause poisoning, burning, corrosion or environmental contamination.
Lightning conductors Suggestion for design of a lightning conductor for a GNSS system: 1. 2. On non-metallic structures Protection by air terminals is recommended. An air terminal is a pointed solid or tubular rod of conducting material with proper mounting and connection to a conductor. The position of four air terminals can be uniformly distributed around the antenna at a distance equal to the height of the air terminal. The air terminal diameter should be 12 mm for copper or 15 mm for aluminium.

On/Off behaviour • • On: The instrument turns on as soon as the power supply is connected and the power key is pressed. Off: To turn off the instrument push either the power key or disconnect the power supply. Total discharge If an instrument connected to a low powered external battery continues to operate, total discharge of the battery can occur. 2.5 Leica Zeno GIS Software Description All Leica Zeno GIS hardware and software can utilise the GG04 plus with a survey pole.
3 Operation 3.1 Guidelines for Correct Results with GNSS Surveys Undisturbed satellite signal reception Successful GNSS measurements require undisturbed satellite signal reception, especially at the instrument which serves as a base. For kinematic use, be sure to select measurement positions with best satellite reception possible. Use the instrument in location which is free of obstructions such as trees, buildings or mountains for best measurement results.
Step ☞ Description Turn the GG04 plus over to gain access to the battery compartment. 1. Push the slide fastener in the direction of the arrow with the openlock symbol. 2. Open the battery compartment. 3. Pull the battery from the battery compartment. 4. A pictogram of the battery is displayed inside the battery compartment. It is a visual aid to help in placing the battery correctly. 5. Place the battery into the battery compartment, ensuring that the contacts are facing outward.

Attach the GHT63 pole clamp to the pole. 2. Attach the correct pole holder to the clamp, according to the field controller: • • the GHT72 pole holder for the CS25 plus controller the GHT55 pole holder for the Zeno 5 controller 3.
Description This chapter shows a possible pole setup of the GG04 plus with a third-party hardware and Zeno Connect to utilise the position in a third-party software. Connection between the GG04 plus instrument and the mobile device is made through Bluetooth. All hardware is fixed on a Leica carbon pole in this example. ☞ • • The antenna is mounted directly using screw fitting. Carbon fibre poles are used. They can be replaced with their aluminium equivalent without any change to these instructions.
3.4 Connection with Leica Zeno GIS Software Description The GG04 plus is fully supported from: • • • Zeno Field V3.6 onwards Zeno Mobile V2.0 onwards Zeno Connect V3.0 onwards Consult the corresponding documentation for detailed help with software installation and instructions. Here only the basic idea behind and the connection to Zeno Connect on third-party devices is explained. ☞ Principle of Zeno Connect On Windows 7 devices, the first initial pairing might take up to seven minutes.
015191_001 Using Zeno Connect on Android devices (third-party) Zeno Connect on Android utilizes the so-called Android Location Manager. It allows every location aware app installed on your device to utilize the highly accurate GNSS position. Install Zeno Connect Install Zeno Connect from the Google Play Store. On the first startup Zeno Connect checks if the GPS is switched on. If this is not the case you are guided for the correct setting.
5. Scroll to the mock location section and turn it on. Depending on the device manufacturer, it is also possible that you can define which app should be used as the mock-location app. If this is the case, select Zeno Connect. 6. A device restart is recommended to ensure that the settings are enabled. Connect the GG04 plus antenna Once the setup is correct, connect the GG04 plus antenna within the Zeno Connect settings. Enter the pairing code “0000” when requested.
☞ The GG04 plus GNSS metadata feature is restricted and it might not yet be possible in your app to connect to the additional SPP Bluetooth port of the antenna. If this feature is needed, ask the app developer to contact the Leica Zeno team for approval and integration guidance (zeno.support@leica-geosystems.com). 3.5 Correction Service Spot Lite and Spot Prime (PPP) Description Spot Lite and Spot Prime are correction services supported by the GG04 plus antenna.
