Trimble EDB10 Data Bridge

Model 121132

Trimbl

e® EMPOWER is an ecosystem of rugged platform devices along with

sensor and communication modules, creating a host solution targeted at specific workflows.

The Trimble EMPOWER Data Bridge (EDB10) is a “sled” that takes the EMPOWER concept further to allow an

EMPOWER module to not only be used in EMPOWER hosts (e.g with a Trimble TSC7 controller ) but with a

full choice of consumer, prosumer, semi-rugged and fully rugged devices. It s a field rugged device used by

surveying and engineering professionals to help facilitate radio communications between professional-grade

geomatics hardware and applications for the purposes of data collection and data transfer. It allows the

EMPOWER ecosystem to extend across more devices and supports Windows® and Android

operating

systems.

The intended use is to connect a controller (without radio, fixed on survey grade pole 1-3 feet away from the

user) to a Trimble robotic total station as shown above.

WHAT’S IN THE BOX? • Trimble EDB10 data bridge • USB-C cable • A/C adapter and international connectors • Module screwdriver • Quick Start Guide (not shown) REMOVING BATTERIES FROM “SHIP MODE” To minimize battery drain while the unit is idle during shipment, the EDB10 data bridge ships with batteries in “ship mode”. Before connecting the EDB10 data bridge to any device, the batteries must be taken out of “ship mode”: 1.

CONNECTING TO AN EMPOWER MODULE Before connecting the EDB10 data bridge to an EMPOWER module, make sure the EDB10 data bridge is powered off. Powering on the EDB10 data bridge prior to connecting an EMPOWER module may lead to an inability to connect to an instrument, and will require a reset of the EDB10 data bridge. To connect the EDB10 data bridge to an EMPOWER module: 1. Align both units (as shown), with the EMPOWER module slightly higher than the EDB10 data bridge 2.

LED BEHAVIOR The EDB10 data bridge has two LEDs located on the front of the unit: LED 1 (Module LED) LED 2 (EDB10 Battery / Connection LED) LED 1 - EMPOWER module This LED indicates the interaction between the EMPOWER module and an external device.

BLUETOOTH PAIRING When the EDB10 data bridge is switched, it is discoverable and ready to be paired. LED 2 (EDB10 Battery / Connection LED) will be white, indicating the unit is not connected and is ready to pair. The EDB10 data bridge is discoverable when not connected to a device. A pairing code is not required to pair with the EDB10 data bridge.

CONNECTING TO A TRIMBLE TOTAL STATION RADIO USING THE EDB10 DATA BRIDGE AND THE EMPOWER EM120 MODULE When the EDB10 is attached to a Trimble EMPOWER EM120 Cirronet module, and paired with a data controller / handheld device, a radio connection can be established with a Trimble Total Station radio. This is initiated from within the data controller / handheld device software and is based on the internal settings of the Trimble Total Station radio.
