Installation Guidelines Mind the following guidelines when using the appliance:
When operating the receiver in member states of the European Union and in other countries complying with EU R&TTE requirements, in the vicinity of aeronautical radionavigation equipment operating between 2700 and 2900 MHz, or fixed satellites (space to earth), or for mobile systems operating at 4170 MHz, a minimum distance of 5 meters must be maintained between the receiver and such radio equipment. Place the GNSS antenna in a location with a clear view of the sky in all directions. Do not place the antenna near vertical obstructions such as buildings, deep cuts, construction vehicles, towers or tree tops. GNSS rover and base station receive the same satellite signals from the same satellites. The system requires five common satellites to provide RTK positioning. GNSS satellites are constantly on the move. Because you can't measure at a particular location now doesn't mean you can't measure there later when satellite coverage at the location improves. Use the GNSS apps daily to determine the best and worst satellite reception times for your location and then select measurement times that match the optimal GNSS performance. This is especially important if you are working in the worst GNSS locations. To obtain a fixed position solution with centimeter accuracy, initialize the RTK rover receiver. For initialization to take place, the receiver must be tracking at least five satellites that the base station is also tracking. For multi-satellite constellation operation, for example GPS, Galileo, Beidou and GLONASS, the receiver must track at least six satellites. In order to continue to measure with centimeter accuracy, the rover must continuously track at least four satellites, which the base station also tracks. The radio link between the base station and the rover receiver must also be maintained. Loss of satellite signals results in a loss of position accuracy in the centimeter range. viDoc Product Manual v7 15 The housing is not waterproof, so avoid high humidity.

!!!IMPORTANT:
Fixed baudrate 19200bps will be used under one condition:
1. Auto baudrate stage time up (~2.5 seconds), no auto baudrate byte 0x55 received or wrong byte received;
4.3.6.2 Control flow char All communication commands are issued by master board, laser rangefinder module play slave role to answer masters request. The Ask & Answer flow though USART is shown as Figure 6-1. Figure 6-1 Control Flow In initial state, Slave module (laser rangefinder) is in power down mode before Master pull up the PWREN pin. After PWREN goes high, and if nRST pin. Used please also remember to de-assert the nRST ping by pull it up, Slave will take about 100 milliseconds to do self-boot, and then entering auto baud rate detect stage. Master transfer 1byte fixed data 0x55 to slave for auto baud rate, if success, slave will reply 1 byte data to master, which present the slave itself address. In one master and multi-slave communication situation, the self-address reply from the slaves may cause USART bus conflict, keep in mind this byte should be ignored. Communication between master and slave has been established after the successful auto baud rate. Now master can send command frame to slave. viDoc Product Manual v7 31 4.3.6.3 Command Frame Command frame may consist 6 parts as Table 6-1 shows.

slave applications, beware to set address for each laser module before it be connected to the network to avoid the addressing conflict. After factory stage all modules address was set to 0x00 as default. Figure 4-1 Multi-Module Wiring 4.4.4.1 Self-soldering with module on board pads Figure 4-2 Solder Connector
!!! Figure 4-2 Solder Connector shows NO pull-up resistor for module TXD/RXD, because the USB2TTL converter has internal pull-up resistors for TXD/RXD pins. But please keep in mind module TXD/RXD pins are OPEN-DRAIN which without internal pull-up resistors. viDoc Product Manual v7 50 4.4.5 Absolute maximum ratings Table 5-1 Absolute Max. Ratings

The Ask & Answer flow though USART is shown as Figure 6-1. Figure 6-1 Control Flow viDoc Product Manual v7 51 In initial state, Slave module (laser rangefinder) is in power down mode before Master pull up the PWREN pin. After PWREN goes high, and if nRST pin. Used please also remember to de-assert the nRST ping by pull it up, Slave will take about 100 milliseconds to do self-boot, and then entering auto baud rate detect stage. Master transfer 1byte fixed data 0x55 to slave for auto baud rate, if success, slave will reply 1-byte data to master, which present the slave itself address. In one master and multi-slave communication situation, the self-address reply from the slaves may cause USART bus conflict, keep in mind this byte should be ignored. Communication between master and slave has been established after the successful auto baud rate. Now master can send command frame to slave.
!!!IMPORTANT: Fixed baudrate 19200bps will be used under one condition:
1. Auto baudrate stage time up (~2.5 seconds), no auto baudrate byte 0x55 received or wrong byte received;
