Installation
This chapter describes how to mount the receiver and antenna, connect the cables and external
devices, configure the receiver, and provides default settings and environmental considerations.

Mounting the Receiver

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.

When mounting the receiver, adhere to the following guidelines:


• Install the receiver inside and away from the elements and in a location that
minimizes vibration, shock, extreme temperatures, and moisture
• Ensure the front panel (menu screen, LEDs, and buttons) is visible and
accessible
• Ensure the top panel (ports/connectors) is easily accessible to connect/
switch out cables and turn power on and off
• Although the R330™ is splash-proof in case of accidental exposure, it is
designed for indoor use (see Table C-7 for R330™ environmental
specifications)

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 2-1 illustrates the typical mounting orientation of the R330™.

Figure 2-1: Receiver mounting orientation

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.

R330 User Guide Chapter 2-Installation Page 5 of 26


Figure 2-2: R330™ Dimensions (with Mounting Brackets)

To mount the receiver:


1. Locate the thumbscrews, nuts, and brackets included in your kit.
2. Slide the nuts through the opening (circled at right) along both sides of the receiver.

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.

Use the remaining holes in the brackets to secure the


receiver in your preferred location

R330 User Guide Chapter 2-Installation Page 6 of 26


Mounting the Antenna

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)

You can mount the antenna as follows:


• Magnetic mount
• Pole mount
• Surface mount

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.

To attach the antenna using the magnetic mount:


1. Clean and dry the surface where you will attach the metal disc.
2. Remove the backing from one side of the foam adhesive and press the adhesive onto the
mounting surface.
3. Remove the backing from the other side of the foam adhesive and press the metal disc
onto the mounting surface, applying firm pressure to ensure good adhesion.
4. Place the magnetic mount (with antenna attached) on top of 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).

R330 User Guide Chapter 2-Installation Page 7 of 26


To attach the antenna directly to the mounting surface:
1. Photocopy the bottom of the antenna and use it as a template to plan the mounting
hole locations.

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.

Routing and Connecting the Cables


Adhere to the following when routing and connecting cables:
• Power cable must reach an appropriate power source
• Antenna cable must reach from the antenna to the receiver
• Data cable may connect to a data storage device, computer, or other device that accepts GPS data
• Do not run cables in areas of excessive heat
• Do not expose cables to corrosive chemicals
• Do not crimp or excessively bend cables
• Do not place tension on cables
• Coil up excess cable near unit
• Secure along the cable route using plastic tie wraps as necessary
• Do not run cables near high Voltage or strong RF noise and transmitter sources

Improperly installed cables near machinery can be dangerous.

Connecting the Receiver to External Devices


Communication between the R330™ and external devices occurs through two serial ports and two USB
ports, as shown in Figure 2-3. You can configure the ports for a combination of NMEA 0183, Hemisphere
GNSS proprietary messages, and/or RTK data.

Figure 2-3: R330™ Serial and USB Ports

R330 User Guide Chapter 2-Installation Page 8 of 26


The serial ports and USB ports function independently. If you connect external devices to Port A, Port B,
and/or the top USB port (Port T), you can transmit and receive data between the R330™ and the devices.
• The top USB port (Port U) is designed to be connected to a host device such as a PC. When
you connect a PC to the R330™ the PC should recognize it as a serial device and a new
COM will appear as a valid connection on the PC. Set the communication software to use
this new port to access the R330™.
• The bottom USB port (Port T) is used for data logging to a USB flash drive (see “Data
Logging Menu”).

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.

R330 User Guide Chapter 3 – Operating the R330™ Page 11 of 26


The R330™ is designed for easy operation with LED indicators and a straightforward menu system. This
chapter discusses how to:
• Power the receiver on/off
• View/interpret LED indicators
• Use the built-in menu system
• Set the differential source
• Log data

Powering the Receiver On/Off


The R330™ is automatically powered-on after receiving 8DCV-36DVC. Press and hold the “enter” button
for four seconds to power-down the R330™.

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.

R330 User Guide Chapter 3 – Operating the R330™ Page 12 of 26


Status LED Indicators
The R330™ uses LEDs to indicate power, GPS lock, and differential position. Table 3-1 describes each
LED indicator.

R330 User Guide Chapter 4 – RTK Page 22 of 26


RTK
RTK provides the highest accuracy (see Table C-1 for accuracy specifications). You can set up a
base/rover RTK system using one R330™ as a base station and one R330™ for each rover. Most
commonly, each base station and rover include the following:
• GPS receiver
• GPS antenna
• Radio: transmitter for base station, receiver for rover
• Power source

Installing the Base Station


The base station tracks GPS signals and broadcasts differential corrections to a radio and rover
GPS receiver. You typically set up the base station near the working area and at a location with no
obstructions between the base station and rover radio.

When installing the base station adhere to the following:


• Do not place the base station near metal objects
• Make sure the base station is at least 50 m from obstructions
• Make sure the base station and rover radio have a clear line of sight up to 5 km or
less depending on the radio type when operating RTK

Installing the Rover Radio


The rover GPS system processes the corrections and outputs highly accurate position information.

When installing the rover radio adhere to the following:


• Ensure the rover radio and GPS antenna are at least 1 m apart
• Rover radio must not block the GPS antenna
• Rover radio must receive regular corrections from the base station every one to two
seconds (differential age) for up to 15 minutes to achieve RTK lock (maximum
accuracy) - typically, a lock is achieved within five minutes

Using the R330™ as a Base Station or Rover


Using the R330™ as a base station or rover receiver requires a link between the base and rover to
transfer differential correction data from the base to the rover. The link can be wired or wireless
(such as a radio modem).

Setting Up the R330™ as a Base Station

When you set up the R330™ as a base station, the Base Station menu option appears just below
Differential on the Top menu.

The baud rates of the base, rover, and radio (if part of the setup) must be the same.

Note: Before you can set up your R330™ as a base station, you unit must be subscribed for base
station functionality. Contact your Hemisphere GNSS sales representative for more information.
R330 User Guide Chapter 4 – RTK Page 23 of 26
To set up the R330™ as a base station:
1. Put the R330™ in base station mode: From the Top menu press GNSS > Configure > Rx
Modes then set BASE to YES.

2. Set the differential port and baud rate of the base station: From the Top menu press
Differential > RTK then set DiffPort to your preferred differential port and set DiffBaud to
your preferred baud rate (PORT B and 19200, respectively, in example below).

3. Set the position of the base station: From the Top menu press Base Station> Reference >
Use Current Pos to use your current position.

4. Set the position of the base station: from the Top menu press Base Station>Reference>Use
Correct Pos to use your current position.

R330 User Guide Chapter 4 – RTK Page 24 of 26


Setting Up the R330™ as a Rover
The baud rates of the base, rover, and radio (if part of the setup) must be the same.

Note: Before you can set up your R330 as a rover, you unit must be subscribed for rover
functionality. Contact your Hemisphere GNSS sales representative for more information.

To set up the R330™ as a rover:

1. Select your differential corrector: From the Top menu press Differential > Include then set your
preferred RTK corrector to YES (ROX set to YES in example below). When the base station
sends correctors to the rover the Differential menu shows the corrector type next to InUse and
RTK below Include.

2. Set the differential port and baud rate of the base station: From the Top menu press Differential
> RTK then set DiffPort to your preferred differential port and set DiffBaud to your preferred
baud rate (PORT B and 19200, respectively, in example below).

Connecting the R330™ to a Base/Rover Radio

When connecting the R330™ to a base/rover radio, verify/set the following:


1. Radio does not interfere with GPS
2. Radio supports a serial connection, with a minimum of 9600 baud, set to N,8,1
3. Radio supports over-the-air throughput of at least 300 bps
4. Base station, rover, and radio all are set to the same baud rate

Note: Hemisphere GNSS recommends testing with a wired condition prior to using a radio connection
to ensure communication parameters are properly defined. Make sure both the rover radio and base
station are on the same channel or frequency in order for the rover radio to receive corrections from
the base station.

R330 User Guide Chapter 4 – RTK Page 25 of 26


RTK Operation

After you set up your RTK system, the status LEDs indicate the following (see “Status LED Indicators” for
more information on R330™ LED indicators):
• Yellow (GPS LOCK LED): tracking GPS
• Flashing green (DIFF LED): differential has been attained, but the residual has not met the
threshold
• Solid green (DIFF LED): RTK lock

The R330™ will output standard NMEA messages through Port A or Port B. Set the message and port
output as preferred (see “Config Wizard Menu” for more information on message output).
