Ag
GPS RTK Base GPS Receiver User Guide
• Trimble recommends that you install lightning protection
equipment at permanent base station locations. Equipment
should include a gas capsule lightning protector in the GPS and
radio antenna feed line and appropriate safety grounding. A static
dissipater near the antennas can reduce the likelihood of a direct
lightning strike. Also protect any communications and power
lines at building entry points. For more information, contact your
local Trimble dealer, or go to the Huber and Suhner website
(www.hubersuhnerinc.com).
• Trimble recommends that you use surge protection equipment
on all permanently installed equipment.
Permanent installation antenna cabling for the AgGPS RTK
Base 450/900 GPS receiver
Many permanent base station installations have unique cabling
requirements. Depending on the available infrastructure, you may need
to mount the antenna a considerable distance from the receiver.
The AgGPS RTK Base 450/900 receiver can withstand a loss of 12 dB
between the GPS antenna and the receiver. The degree of loss in a
coaxial cable depends on the frequency of the signal passing through it.
This table lists some common cable types and the maximum length you
can use before an inline amplifier for GPS frequencies is required.
Cable type Maximum length (for use without an inline amplifier)
RG-214 30 m (100 ft)
LMR-400 70 m (230 ft)
LMR-500 85 m (280 ft)
LMR-600 106 m (350 ft)
Heliax LDF4/50 165 m (540 ft)
Heliax LDF4.5/40 225 m (740 ft)
