Base station extension with measurement lever

The Trimble R10 receiver uses a base station extension pole that increases the height of the receiver to allow clearance for the 450 MHz internal radio antenna and also allows for easy and accurate measurement of the base station antenna height. The extension pole includes a height measurement lever with a defined measurement point:

To measure the height of the base station extension with measurement lever, measure the slant height from the control point on the ground to the height measurement point on the lever. Enter the slant height into the field software (or web interface) and then select the Lever of R10 extension measurement method. The field software (or web interface) automatically calculates the antenna height from the slant height. The base station extension with measurement lever should be used when setting up a base station or static session on an extension leg tripod with tribrach.

The illustration below shows the Trimble R10 receiver with base station extension with measurement lever (P/N 89846-00):

The Base Station Extension with Measurement Lever is available as a standalone accessory (P/N 89846-00) or within the Base Kit or Post processed (PP) Kit.

Measuring to the measurement lever is not required when using a fixed height tripod. If the base station extension with measurement lever is used with a fixed height tripod, the height of the extension pole (0.15 m (0.49 ft)) should be added to the height of the fixed height tripod and the measurement method “bottom of quick release” used.
