1. Introduction
A10 GNSS RTK system adopts modularized design, so as to enable
users to change into different differential transmission modules according
to various requirements. Meanwhile the designed self-diagnosis function
can automatically check the working status of all hardware and software of
the A10 receiver while working, and arouse the problem part by its
intelligent voice messenger in case of some problem.
Data collection controller can be connected with receiver mainframe
via Bluetooth or cable; built-in high-capacity battery is suitable for
long-time field work; static data can be stored in the built-in memory card
of receiver and downloaded via USB port to your PC.
Tips: 1. A10 GNSS RTK system has many modules. This
manual does not represent standard configuration.
Users need to notify their own requirements for the
different configuration due to different applications.
2. And before using, we suggest users firstly to check
whether the package box is damaged, and then open
careful and check whether inner items matched with
the order list of their own. If there are some missing
or damaging cases exist for products and accessories,
please contact with the local distributor Immediately.
3. Last but not least, please carefully read manual
before carrying, handling and using!
2. Product Features
1. BD970 mother board of Pacific Crest, a Trimble Company,
multi-satellite, multi-system kernel.
7
2. 1+X multi-module communication units.
3. PCC Radio module (optional) compatible with Trimble/Leica RTK.
4. Double battery capacity as 5000mAh, 12 hours for RTK
operating.
5. The highest performance in waterproof, dustproof and
anti-drop.
6. Adjustable to be single GNSS system or multi-GNSS system: GPS,
GLONASS, GALILEO.
3. Usage and Notes
Although A10 receiver using chemical and impact resistance material,
but necessary taking care and maintenance is still required for such a
precise instrument.
Warning: The receiver must be used and stored in the
specified temperature.
To ensure the quality of continuous tracking satellites and signals,
surveying work should be in open air, while there should no any obstacle
in space above 15° altitude angle; in order to reduce all kinds of electrical
interference to the GNSS satellite signals. Besides, there should not be
strong electrical interference around within about 200m range, such as the
television tower, microwave stations, high voltage transmission line. Also,
in order to avoid or reduce the occurrence of multi-path effect, stations
should be away from terrain or geographical objects, which will strong
effect electrical signal, such as high-rise buildings, big pool, etc.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment
off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one
or more of the following measures:
-- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
-- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
-- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
The device must be operated to provide a separation distance of at
least 20cm from User.

A10 Receiver Battery Name and Model
Name Model
5000mAh lithium battery BL-5000
Lithium battery charger CL-8410
Power Supply
Power
supply
Power supply way
1. lithium battery;
2. eight-pin port and five-
pin port on the
mainframe for external power supply
Power range 6V ~ 36V
25
If use external power supply for A10 by the eight-pin port and
five-pin port on the mainframe, the power supply should be 6～36V with
current no less than 500 mAh.
When using both lithium battery and external battery, the receiver
will check the power pressure of both batteries and choose the higher one.
And please note that if use external power supply, must use the
specified external power supply from to avoid any destroy to the receiver.
Note: usually one A10 lithium battery can last 13 hours
for static. But the working time will be
decreased along with the more and more
charging times or in very low temperature.
Battery charging
BL-5000 lithium battery must be charged in specified CL-8410
charger for about 7.5 hours. The indicator led of the charger will be in red
while charging, and then green when charging finished.
Warning: 1. Only using specified charger and do not put the
battery into fire nor make it short circuit.
2. If heating, deformed, leaking, bad smells happens
while charging, using or storing, please stop using
the battery right now and change another one.
3. If the working time obviously become very short,
please stop using the battery right now and change
another one.
