Introduction

The following instructions are intended to be a reference to complete 5700/5800 GPS surveys,download and upload data, charge the equipment and maintain batteries. First time users areencouraged to initially use the assistance of an experienced user. Software, firmware, and GEOIDmodels versions change rapidly for this equipment. Different product versions may cause variationsin the procedures listing within these instructions. The following versions were used to when

creating these instructions:

- Trimble Survey Controller version 10.80- Microsoft Windows CE.Net version 4.0- Microsoft Activesync version 3.7.1- Terramodel version 10.3- Trimble Geomatics Office version 1.61

- Trimble Data Transfer Utility version 1.11.0.31- 5800 software version 2.11

Place radio on tripod

Attach battery to radio: insert graycable to port #1, attach white lead or wireto +, blacklead or wire toon battery.

Trimmark 3 radio has 3 power settings: 2W, 10W & 25 W. Power can be changed at anytime byusing next key and keys. (Note: Use the 2 W power setting for a farmstead survey. Only need touse the 25 W setting when surveying a long distance from the base station and radio. Increasing theantenna height will also improve radio signal.) Radio will blinkTrans when broadcasting.

CONNECTING THE TSCe TO THE COMPUTER VIA ACTIVESYNC

The ActiveSync program links the TSCe to the computer. ActiveSync allows the user access to the

data in the TSCe as just another folder in Windows Explorer. Files can be copied and pasted to and

from the folder which has the following path: My Computer, Mobile Device, My Computer, Disk,

Trimble Data. Prior to data transfer, ActiveSync needs to be connected. This will be accomplished in

the following steps. Plug in the cords between the data collector and the USB port. The Bluetooth

must be removed from the data collector to connect the cords.

TSCe Data Collector

Get into the Survey Controller part of the TSCe.

A message Connect to desktop? will pop up on the data collector. (If this message does not pop up,

try turning the TSCe on and off or disconnecting and reconnecting the black data cord from the

TSCe.)ClickYes. The data collector will beep while connecting

STAKEOUT WITH AN EXISTING TSCe JOB

Completing construction staking or additional topo for a job that has already been surveyed can becompleted with a few variations to starting a brand new survey. When going back to a site thatalready has a job in the TSCe, begin by leveling the base station directly over a known control pointor benchmark. (Note: Upload the stake points to the job in the TSCe with the instructions on the

pages 18 through 21.)

Setup the 5700/5800 hardware as described in pages 3 through 5 of these directions with thebase leveled over a control point or benchmark.

As a check for errors, it is suggested to shoot another control point on the site. Then compare itscoordinates underFiles/Review Current Job to the coordinates when it was shot in the originalsurvey. Significant differences in the two coordinates for the same point may indicate an error.

If additional topo is needed, survey as described intheMeasure PointsandContinuousPoints sections on page 10 of these directions. If no staking is needed, End Survey as shown onpage 10 of these directions, when the additional topo is complete. (Note: Calibration is not requiredwhen coming back to a job the second time.)

C HARGING THE 5700/5800 EQUIPMENT

There are 6 batteries to be charged.

1. 5700 Base receiver2. External yellow battery (in case next to base receiver)

3. Two batteries for the 5800 Rover receiver4. Data collector5. External car battery

Procedure

1. Separate the charging cords.

2. 5700 Base Receiver: The 5700 receiver is charged through Port 2 (the middle one), andONLY PORT 2. It is important to only charge in port 2. Damage to the receivers canresult if another port is used. Before connecting the charging cord to the base receiver, you

will need to disconnect the external yellow battery cord from port 2. Plug the chargingcord into port 2 on the receiver by lining up the rod dot and line. Failure to line up the reddot and line will result in stripping out the connections.

26

7/29/2019 5700_5800_GPS_Inst

27/30

3. External Yellow Battery: The cord you removed from port 2 of the base receiver willconnect the female end of a charging cord that has a black box with indicator lightsattached to it. The yellow charge light should light up when the battery is connected and

the end is plugged in. When this battery is fully charged, the yellow Charge light willgo out. Recall that when you disconnect the cords after charging, you need to return thecord from the external yellow battery to port 2 (the middle) of the base receiver.

4. 5800 Rover Receiver: The 5800 Rover Receiver has two rechargeable batteries that look

similar to camcorder batteries. Place the rechargeable batteries in the charger by lining upthe appropriate terminals.

27

7/29/2019 5700_5800_GPS_Inst

28/30

5. Data Collector: Plug the charger cord into the only port on the bluecap (actually black incolor). The data collector will make a conking noise and turn on when the charger cord isplugged in.

6. External Car Battery: Use the car battery charger for this battery. Connect the carbattery charger to the car battery as you normally do. You will want the battery chargerset on the trickle setting so it can be left charging overnight.

MAINTAINING THE LITHIUM ION BATTERIES

Note: This information was provided by Nathan Kupfer(Bismark, ND) of Frontier Precision.

Lithium-Ion batteries provide 300500 discharge/charge cycles, which equals a life expectancy of 12 years, depending on temperature exposure and severity of use.

Keep the battery cool: store it at a temperature of 1520C (59 68F) and avoidprolonged exposure to direct sunlight.

Fully charge the battery before use.

Avoid frequent full discharges. Deep discharges will put an additional strain on thebattery. Partial discharges with frequent recharges are better for the battery.

Recharge the battery as soon as possible after a full discharge.

Though the battery is memory free, applying a deliberate full discharge once every 30charges will calibrate the batteries, synchronizing the fuel gauge with the batterys state ofcharge. Ignoring this will cause the fuel gauge to become increasingly less accurate.

Battery life will not be affected.

Store the batteries on charge whenever they are not in use.

For long-term storage keep the battery at approx. a 40% charge level.

A new battery should be placed in the charger and fully charged before use.
