A. INTRODUCTION The X360 GIS Receiver User Guide describes how to set up and use the CHC X360 GIS Receiver. In this manual, “the Receiver” refers to the X360 GIS Receiver unless otherwise stated. Even if you have used other Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) products before, CHC recommends that you spend some time reading this manual to learn about the special features of this product. If you are not familiar with GNSS, go to www.chcnav.com for an interactive look at CHC and GNSS. A.I.
1. Introduction A.III. DISCLAIMER Before using the Receiver, please make sure that you have read and understood this User Guide, as well as the safety requirements. CHC holds no responsibility for the wrong operation by users and for the losses incurred by the wrong understanding about this User Guide. However, CHC reserves the rights to update and optimize the contents in this guide regularly. Please contact your local CHC dealer for new information. A.IV.
B. OVERVIEW This chapter introduces the X360 GIS Receiver (“the Receiver”). This Receiver makes it easy to set up a powerful and reliable Continuously Operating Station (CORS) or to collect data from temporary field locations. The Receiver is ideal for the following infrastructure applications: As part of a GNSS Infrastructure network in conjunction with CHC Station Network (CRNet) software.
3. Batteries and Power B.I.i. THE NETWORK APPLIANCE CONCEPT Traditionally, a GNSS Receiver has one operator. That person is the only user of the Receiver so they can change settings without affecting other users. With the X360 GIS Receiver, an operator can configure a Receiver once, and then make it available as a network appliance for general use by one or more users (or clients).
3. Batteries and Power B.III.
3. Batteries and Power High-power signals from a nearby radio or radar transmitter can overwhelm the Receiver circuits. This does not harm the instrument, but it can prevent the Receiver electronics from functioning correctly. Avoid locating the Receiver or antenna within 400 meters of powerful radar, television, or other transmitters or GNSS antennas. Low-power transmitters, such as those in cell phones and two-way radios, normally do not interfere with Receiver operations. B.VI.
3. Batteries and Power B.VII. REAR CONNECTORS Connector type Description 1 TNC Connect to the GNSS antenna 2 CAN Can port to connect the external LAN,DC,USB,COM port 3 DC For the power supply CAN Port Connectors 1 Lemo (10-pin) Port 1 Power from an external AC/DC power supply. RS-232 serial communications using a 10pin Lemo cable (CHC Data Cable). Pass-through to the mainboard without issuing the pass-through command via this port.
2 Lemo (10-pin) Port 2 3. Batteries and Power Power from an external AC/DC power supply. RS-232 serial communications using a 10pin Lemo cable (CHC Data Cable). 3 Rj45 jack Data streaming transmission port. Supports links to 10BaseT/100BaseT autonegotiate networks HTTP, TCP/IP, UDP, FTP, NTRIP Caster, NTRIP Server, NTRIP Client Simultaneously transmits multiple 4 data stream USB Connect to external USB drive for external data logging after configured through web interface.
3. Batteries and Power C.I. EXTERNAL POWER The Receiver uses an external power source in p to its internal battery. If the Receiver is not connected to an external power source, or if the external power supply fails, the internal battery is used. The Receiver’s internal battery charges only when the external voltage is above 11 V DC.
3. Batteries and Power Do not immerse the battery in water. Do not use or store the battery inside a vehicle during hot weather. Do not drop or puncture the battery. Do not open the battery or short-circuit its contacts. WARNING – Avoid contact with the rechargeable Lithium-ion battery if it appears to be leaking. Battery fluid is corrosive, and contact with it can result in personal injury and/or property damage.
3. Batteries and Power battery can only be removed by an authorized CHC Service Center. C.V. STORING THE BATTERY The internal Lithium-ion battery adopts a self-protection mechanism that protects the battery from discharge when its voltage is below 6 V and shuts down the Receiver. The internal battery will be activated when charged by the external power supply. The internal battery will only charge from an external power source that delivers more than 11 V, for example, an AC power adaptor.
D. SETTING UP THE RECEIVER This chapter describes best practices for setting up the equipment, and outlines the precautions that you must take to protect the equipment. It also describes the typical installation diagram of station composed of X360 GIS Receiver, GNSS antenna, external power and network cable. The antenna installation guidelines described here are the minimum standards.

D. Glossary base station GLOSSARY Also called station. A base station in construction, is a Receiver placed at a known point on a jobsite that tracks the same satellites as an RTK rover, and provides a real-time differential correction message stream through radio to the rover, to obtain centimeter level positions on a continuous real-time basis.
ephemeri D. Glossary A list of predicted (accurate) positions or locations of satellites as a function s/ of time. A set of numerical parameters that can be used to determine a ephemerid satellite’s position. es Available as broadcast ephemeris or as postprocessed precise ephemeris. epoch The measurement interval of a GPS Receiver.
D. Glossary three-dimensional measurements. Other DOP values include VDOP (vertical DOP) and HDOP (Horizontal Dilution of Precision). Using a maximum PDOP value is ideal for situations where both vertical and horizontal precision are important. postprocessing Postprocessing is the processing of satellite data after it has been collected, in order to eliminate error. This involves using computer software to compare data from the rover with data collected at the base station.
D. Glossary communication links. It uses data from a network of stations to provide corrections to each rover that are more accurate than corrections from a single base station. To start using VRS corrections, the rover sends its position to the VRS server. The VRS server uses the station data to model systematic errors (such as ionospheric noise) at the rover position. It then sends RTCM or CMR correction messages back to the rover.
