GNSS rover receiver setup

To set up and connect your surveying equipment when using a Trimble integrated GNSS receiver as a rover:

1. Assemble and erect the equipment for the rover:

   1. Mount the receiver onto a range pole. Power for the receiver is supplied by the internal battery in the receiver.

      In a postprocessed survey you may find it useful to use a bipod to hold the range pole while taking measurements.

   2. Attach the controller to the holder.
   3. Connect the controller holder to the range pole.

2. Turn on the receiver.

3. Turn on the controller.

4. Connect the controller to the receiver using Bluetooth or a USB serial cable.

   To connect the controller to the receiver using Bluetooth:

   1. Tap and select Settings / Connections. Select the Bluetooth tab.
   2. In the Connect to GNSS rover field, select the receiver.
   3. Pair with the device.

   For more information, see Bluetooth connections.

5. On the controller, start Trimble Access. If the Trimble Access software does not automatically connect to the receiver, see Auto‑connect settings.

If you are connecting a controller running Android to an SP60 receiver, turn off the Auto-connect to GNSS receivers function in Trimble Access, and always power up the receiver and wait until it is tracking satellites before attempting to connect the software to the receiver. If you attempt to connect to the SP60 receiver from the controller before the SP60 is ready then the Bluetooth pairing to the receiver can be lost.
