Chapter 1: Introduction
Product Overview
Key Features
What’s Included in Your Kit
Using PocketMax™ to Communicate
with the R330™
Note: Throughout the rest of this user guide the R330™ GNSS receiver is referred to simply as the
R330™.
Product Overview
The R330™ is a multi-GNSS RTK, high accuracy GNSS receiver that allows you to complete your work
quickly and accurately. Built on Hemisphere GNSS’ Eclipse™ platform, R330™ boasts the latest GNSS
patented technology and offers extremely quick startup and reacquisition times.
The standard model R330™ tracks single frequency GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, Beidou, and SBAS and via
subscriptions can track dual frequency GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, Beidou, beacon, and Atlas L-band high
precision signals. R330™ supports raw data logging to a removable USB flash drive for post processing.
You can upgrade your R330™ by adding RTK for a cost effective, multi-GNSS solution compatible with
other GNSS products.
The R330™ receiver, with its display and user interface, can be conveniently installed near the operator.
The antenna (sold separately) can be installed elsewhere.
Note: The R330™ requires an antenna; the antenna, antenna cable, and any related antenna
mounting hardware are purchased separately.
Note: Although you are not required to mount the receiver, you may want to do so to prevent damage
to the receiver and any cables connected to the receiver.
Note: There is an option within the menu to switch (flip 180°) the direction of the display. If it is
easier to mount the unit upside down, you can mount it this way and still operate the display.
Figure 2-2 shows the dimensions (including attached mounting brackets) of the R330™. Use Figure 2-2
when using the receiver mounting procedure that follows and see Figure 2-3 for ports/connections.
3. Place the bracket alongside the receiver and insert the thumbscrews (two thumbscrews per
bracket) so they screw into the nuts.
4. Using the remaining holes in the brackets (two holes per bracket) screw down the brackets
in your preferred location.
Note: Hemisphere GNSS does not provide the screws used for this step.
Note: The antenna, antenna cable, and any related antenna mounting hardware are purchased
separately.
Proper antenna placement is critical to positioning accuracy. When mounting the antenna, adhere
to the following:
• Make sure the antenna has a clear view of the sky (an obstructed view of the sky may
impair system performance)
• Mount the antenna on, or as close to, the measurement center point (the GPS engine
inside the receiver computes a position based on measurements from each satellite to the
phase center of the antenna)
• Position the antenna as high as possible
• Antenna is designed for outdoor use (see Table C-7 for R330™ environmental
specifications)
Magnetic Mount
The magnetic mount can be screwed into the bottom of the antenna and mounted to metal
surfaces. The magnetic mount includes a metal disc and foam adhesive that allow you to bond the
metal disc to the desired mounting location if there are no metal surfaces. You then place the
magnetic mount on the metal disc.
Pole Mount
The center thread of the antenna is 5/8” for compatibility with a survey pole (not included). Simply
thread the pole into the antenna.
Surface Mount
As an alternative to the magnetic mount, you can attach the antenna directly to the mounting
surface with four machine screws (no. 8-32).
Make sure the photocopy is scaled one to one with the mounting holes
on the bottom of the antenna.
2. Mark the mounting hole centers, as necessary, on the mounting surface.
3. Place the antenna over the marks to ensure the planned hole centers align with the true hole
centers (adjusting as necessary).
4. Use a center punch to mark the hole centers.
5. Drill the mounting holes with a 3/16” bit appropriate for the surface.
6. Place the antenna over the mounting holes and insert the mounting screws through the bottom
of the mounting surface and into the antenna.
When installing the antenna, hand tighten only. Damage resulting from
overtightening the antenna is not covered by the warranty.
Note: If you connect the supplied USB cable to Port T or connect a USB flash drive to Port U,
the USB functionality will not work as the USB ports are not interchangeable.
• The serial ports operate at the RS-232 interface level to communicate with external data
loggers, navigation systems, and other devices. Either serial port can also be used for
firmware updates. Figure 2-4 illustrates the numbering for the female DB9 port (the
numbering for each male connector is a mirror reflection of Figure 2-4) and Table 2-1
provides the pin configuration for the serial ports.
Note: For successful communication, you must set the baud rate of the R330’s serial ports to
match that of the connected devices.
The following represents the standard configuration for the R330™. For more information on these
commands refer to the Hemisphere GNSS Technical Reference Manual.
Note: Use the $JSAVE command to save changes you make to the R330™ configuration for the
changes to be present in subsequent power cycles.
To save PPS power cycle settings, add ,SAVE to the end of the commands.
To reset the R330™ to its default parameters you can re-install the configuration file (shown below)—
contact your dealer or Hemisphere GNSS Technical Support for information on obtaining and re-
installing the configuration file.

The R330™ accepts an input voltage of 8 to 36 VDC via the power cable. The supplied power should be
continuous and clean for best performance. Table C-6 provides the power specifications of the R330™.
Do not apply a voltage higher than 36 VDC. This will damage the receiver and void the
warranty. Also, do not attempt to operate the R330™ with the fuse bypassed as this will void the
warranty.
The R330™ features reverse polarity protection to prevent damage if the power leads are accidentally
reversed. Although the R330™ proceeds through an internal startup sequence when you apply power, it
will be ready to communicate immediately.
Initial startup may take 5 to 15 minutes depending on the location. Subsequent startups will output a valid
position within 1 to 5 minutes depending on the location and time since the last startup.
The R330™ may take up to 5 minutes to receive a full ionospheric map from SBAS. Optimum accuracy is
obtained once the R330™ is processing corrected positions using complete ionospheric information.
Startup
When you power on the R330™ the Hemisphere GNSS splash screen appears followed
by the main screen, or Top menu (see at top right). Press the Down Arrow button to GNSS
display the remaining items on the Top menu (see at bottom right).
You use the menus to view and configure system data and settings for the following:
