Chapter I : A brief introduction of S82V

The SOUTH S82V is a RTK GNSS receiver, built for precision, reliability and user friendliness.

S82V is able to receive GPS signals, and also satellite signals from GLONASS and GALILEO.

The S82V main receiver unit is integrated with GNSS antenna interface, GNSS module,

Bluetooth device to facilitate working convenience for the user.

The S82V receiver is lightweight and sturdy, and designed for rugged usage. The receiver

housing is waterproof and dustproof, and built with superior material to withstand long lasting

operation in the field.

The embedded receiver firmware can customize different RTK software for different

applications. The data transfer process is a very convenient one.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following

two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must

accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

CAUTION:

a) The disposal of electric and electronic device as solid urban waste is strictly prohibited:

they must be collected separately.

b) Contact Local Authorities to obtain practical information about correct handling of the waste,

location and times of waste collection centres. When you buy a new device of ours, you can

give back to our dealer a used similar device.

c) The dumping of these devices at unequipped or unauthorized places may have hazardous

effects on health and environment.

d) The crossed dustbin symbol means that the device must be taken to authorized collection

centres and must be handled separately from solid urban waste.

NOTES:

The treatment, recycling, collection and disposal of electric and electronic devices may vary in

accordance with the laws in force in the Country in question.

II.1 The receiver main body

There are three parts to the main unit: the cover, a protective rubber ring and
the main

structure. The cover protects the GNSS antenna inside. The protective rubber ring

has the function of additional protection against water and dust. The display LED panel

and control keys are integrated into front of the main structure. On the bottom there is a slot

for the built-in a compartment for the batteries. All the others components of the

receiver (Bluetooth device, main board, etc.) are contained inside the main structure of

the receiver.

- Release the key when you hear another beep: receiver will start to make a self-check.

The Self-check process lasts typically for about 1 minute, after which receiver will turn on and

resume normal operation.

Selecting the working mode

- With the battery inserted, then press and hold P key + F key: the receiver will start.

- Keep the P key + F key pressed until the six LEDs blink at the same time (Fig. 2.9),

then release the keys.

Appendix 1: Frequently Asked Questions

1. The receiver is set in static mode but it does not save data even if more than three satellites

are locked. The three red lights are blinking.

Solution: the internal memory of receiver is full, please delete some files.

2. The external and built-in power lights are blinking and I do not succeed in

receiving differential corrections.

Solution: The serial code is expired, please contact SOUTH for a new code.

3. I do not succeed in connecting handheld and receiver by Bluetooth.

Solution: you are in static mode and Bluetooth is disabled, please switch mode.

If you are in rover or base mode and Bluetooth still does not work, please perform a receiver

self-check.

If the problem persists please check config.ini, it may be in a wrong format, please contact

SOUTH for a new config.ini file.
