Introduction
This user guide provides the following information to get you up and running quickly with your R330™™ GNSS
receiver.
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 L1 GPS and L1 GLONASS and via subscriptions can track L1/L2 GPS,
SBAS, beacon, and L-band DGNSS/HP/XP DGPS and high precision signals. R330™ supports raw data logging
to a removable USB flash drive for post processing.
You can upgrade your R330™ by adding RTK6 base station functionality or RTK rover performance, as well as
GLONASS tracking for a cost effective, multi-GNSS solution compatible with other GNSS products.
RTK performance is scalable on the R330™. Utilize the same centimeter-level accuracy with L1/L2 GPS, or
improve performance and reliability with L1/L2 GNSS signals. Hemisphere’s exclusive SureTrack® technology
gives peace of mind knowing the RTK rover is making use of every satellite it is tracking, even satellites not
tracked at the base. Benefit from fewer RTK dropouts in congested environments, faster reacquisitions and more
robust solutions due to better cycle slip detection. SureTrack also removes concerns with using various
manufacturers GNSS base. Even if the GNSS base delivers L1/L2 GPS, SureTrack with GLONASS at the rover
will deliver RTK performance where others cannot.

The R330™ receiver, with its display and user interface, can be conveniently installed near the operator, while
the included antenna can be installed elsewhere.
R330™ also features Hemisphere GNSS’ exclusive COAST™ technology that enables Hemisphere GNSS
receivers to utilize aging differential GNSS correction data for 40 minutes or more without significantly affecting
positioning quality. R330™ is less likely to be affected by differential signal outages due to signal blockages,
weak signals, or interference when using COAST™.

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.

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).
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.
3.
4.
5.
6.

R330 User Guide

Mark the mounting hole centers, as necessary, on the mounting surface.
Place the antenna over the marks to ensure the planned hole centers align with the true hole centers
(adjusting as necessary).
Use a center punch to mark the hole centers.
Drill the mounting holes with a 3/16” bit appropriate for the surface.
Place the antenna over the mounting holes and insert the mounting screws through the bottom of the
mounting surface and into the antenna.
Chapter 2-Installation

Page 7 of 25

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, binary, and/or RTCM SC-104
data.

Figure 2-3: R330™ Serial and USB Ports

R330 User Guide

Chapter 2-Installation

Page 8 of 25

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.

Chapter 3 – Operating the R330™

Page 10 of 25

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.

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.

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.

BASIS OF BARGAIN. Licensee agrees and acknowledges that Hemisphere has set its prices and the parties have entered into this Agreement in reliance on the limited
warranties, warranty disclaimers and limitations of liability set forth herein, that the same reflect an agreed-to allocation of risk between the parties (including the risk that a
remedy may fail of its essential purpose and cause consequential loss), and that the same forms an essential basis of the bargain between the parties. Licensee agrees and
acknowledges that Hemisphere would not have been able to sell the Product at the amount charged on an economic basis without such limitations.
PROPRIETARY RIGHTS INDEMNITY. Hemisphere shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Licensee from and against any and all actions, claims, demands, proceedings, liabilities,
direct damages, judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, costs and expenses, including royalties and attorneys' fees and related costs, in connection with or arising out of any actual
infringement of any third party patent, copyright or other intellectual property right by the Software or by its use, in accordance with this Agreement and documentation, PROVIDED
THAT: (a) Hemisphere has the right to assume full control over any action, claim, demand or proceeding, (b) Licensee shall promptly notify Hemisphere of any such action, claim,
demand, or proceeding, and (c) Licensee shall give Hemisphere such reasonable assistance and tangible material as is reasonably available to Licensee for the defense of the
action, claim, demand or proceeding. Licensee shall not settle or compromise any of same for which Hemisphere has agreed to assume responsibility without Hemisphere's prior
written consent. Licensee may, at its sole cost and expense, retain separate counsel from the counsel utilized or retained by Hemisphere.
INFRINGEMENT. If use of the Software may be enjoined due to a claim of infringement by a third party then, at its sole discretion and expense, Hemisphere may do one of the
following: (a) negotiate a license or other agreement so that the Product is no longer subject to such a potential claim, (b) modify the Product so that it becomes non- infringing,
provided such modification can be accomplished without materially affecting the performance and functionality of the Product, (c) replace the Software, or the Product, with
non-infringing software, or product, of equal or better performance and quality, or (d) if none of the foregoing can be done on a commercially reasonable basis, terminate this
license and Licensee shall stop using the Product and Hemisphere shall refund the price paid by Licensee less an amount on account of amortization, calculated on a straight-line
basis over a deemed useful life of three (3) years.
The foregoing sets out the entire liability of Hemisphere and the sole obligations of Hemisphere to Licensee in respect of any claim that the Software or its use infringes any third
party rights.

including without limiting the foregoing, loss of data, loss of profit or business interruption. TERMINATION. Licensee may terminate this Agreement at any time without cause.
Hemisphere may terminate this Agreement on 30 days notice to Licensee if Licensee fails to materially comply with each provision of this Agreement unless such default is cured
within the 30 days. Any such termination by a party shall be in addition to and without prejudice to such rights and remedies as may be available, including injunction and other
equitable remedies. Upon receipt by Licensee of written notice of termination from Hemisphere or termination by Licensee, Licensee shall at the end of any notice period (a) cease
using the Software; and (b) return to Hemisphere (or destroy and provide a certificate of a Senior Officer attesting to such destruction) the Software and all related material and
any magnetic or optical media provided to Licensee. The provisions of Sections 6), 7), 8), 9), 10), 15), 21), 26) and 27) herein shall survive the expiration or termination of this
Agreement for any reason.
EXPORT RESTRICTIONS. Licensee agrees that Licensee will comply with all export control legislation of Canada, the United States, Australia and any other applicable country's laws
and regulations, whether under the Arms Export Control Act, the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, the Export Administration Regulations, the regulations of the United
States Departments of Commerce, State, and Treasury, or otherwise as well as the export control legislation of all other countries.
PRODUCT COMPONENTS. The Product may contain third party components. Those third party components may be subject to additional terms and conditions. Licensee is required to
agree to those terms and conditions in order to use the Product.
FORCE MAJEURE EVENT. Neither party will have the right to claim damages as a result of the other's inability to perform or any delay in performance due to unforeseeable
circumstances beyond its reasonable control, such as labor disputes, strikes, lockouts, war, riot, insurrection, epidemic, Internet virus attack, Internet failure, supplier failure, act
of God, or governmental action not the fault of the non-performing party.

disputes between Licensee and Hemisphere concerning this Agreement or Licensee's use or inability to use the Software and the parties hereby irrevocably agree to attorn to the
jurisdiction of those courts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for injunctive relief.
APPLICABLE LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Province of Alberta, Canada, exclusive of any of its choice of law and conflicts of law jurisprudence.
CISG. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to this Agreement or any transaction hereunder.
GENERAL. This is the entire agreement between Licensee and Hemisphere relating to the Product and Licensee's use of the same, and supersedes all prior, collateral or
contemporaneous oral or written representations, warranties or agreements regarding the same. No amendment to or modification of this Agreement will be binding unless in
writing and signed by duly authorized representatives of the parties. Any and all terms and conditions set out in any correspondence between the parties or set out in a purchase
order which are different from or in addition to the terms and conditions set forth herein, shall have no application and no written notice of same shall be required. In the event
that one or more of the provisions of this Agreement is found to be illegal or unenforceable, this Agreement shall not be rendered inoperative but the remaining provisions shall
continue in full force and effect.
