Preparation X90 GNSS – 1.01 Rev A – September 2010 8 To prevent injury or damage:  If the battery leaks, avoid with the battery fluid.  If battery fluid gets into your eyes, immediately rinses your eyes with clean water and seek medical attention. Please do not rub your eyes!  If battery fluid gets onto your skin or clothing, immediately use clean water to wash off the battery fluid. 3.2.1 External Power and Internal Battery The receiver can be powered by its internal battery or by an external power source connected to Receiver Lemo Port. If an external power source is connected to Port, it is used in preference to the internal battery. When there is no external power source connected, or if the external power supply fails, the internal battery is used. External Power There are two methods to provide the external power to the receiver by the HuaCe GPS to PC cable. The HuaCe GPS to PC cable has one Power port.  In the office, the Power Adapter is connecting with AC power of 100-240V, the output port of the Power Adapter connects with the Power Port of the GPS to PC cable, shown as Figure3.2-1.  In the field, the external power cable is connecting with the Car battery, the output port of the external power cable connects with the Power Port of the GPS to PC cable, shown as Figure3.2-2. Internal Battery These receivers use a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. Make sure the battery is fully charged for each HuaCe X90 being used in the field. Figure3.2-1 Figure3.2-2
Preparation X90 GNSS – 1.01 Rev A – September 2010 9 3.2.2 Charging the Battery The receiver is supplied with two rechargeable Lithium-ion batteries, and a dual battery charger for each RTK kit. The two batteries charge sequentially and take approximately three hours each to be fully charged. The battery charger comes with a separate universal AC Power Adapter with a 1.5 meter output cable. Follow the instructions below to operate the charger.  Connect the two parts of the Power Adapter and the Power Adapter output with the Battery Charger. The red LED on the Battery Charger is on, which means the whole charger system is ready.  Put battery on the battery charger in right orientation (the battery terminals should come into contact with the two sets of connectors on the charger). When the battery is placed in the right place, the Green/Yellow LED will start to flash or turn on.  There are three LED on the Battery Charger, shown as C. The middle red LED means the power condition of the Charger. The other Green and Yellow LED represent the working condition of two charger slot respectively. When the Green/Yellow LED is flashing, it means the battery is on charging, and the slower tells the less battery is going to be charged in, in other words, when a full charged battery put on the battery slot, the Green/Yellow LED will be turn on and no flashing. 3.2.3 The Battery Usage and Disposing Notices The rechargeable Lithium-ion battery is supplied partially charged. The following recommendations provide optimal performance and extend the life of your batteries:  Fully charge all new batteries prior to use.  Do not allow the batteries to discharge below 5 V.  Keep all batteries on continuous charge when not in use. Batteries may be kept on charge indefinitely without damage t the receiver or batteries.  Do not store batteries in the receiver or external charger unless power is applied.
Preparation X90 GNSS – 1.01 Rev A – September 2010 10  If you must store the batteries, fully charge them before storing and then recharge them at least every three months. Disposing of the Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery Discharge the lithium-ion battery before disposing of it. When disposing of the battery, be sure to do so in an environmentally sensitive manner. Adhere to any local and national regulation concerning battery disposal or recycling. 3.3 Parts of the Receiver (Control Panel) 3.3.1 Front Panel View Power Button To turn on X90 GNSS, hold the power button press and don’t release until the power LED lights up. Switch Button The function of switch button is to switch X90 GNSS from RTK mode to static mode. The procedure can be divided into 2 steps. Step 1: Switching Hold the switch button press and don’t release until you see the Record LED off. Step 2: Check Press the switch button, if the correction LED turns on, it means the switching succeed. CAUTION: When you are doing check, if you press and hold the
Preparation X90 GNSS – 1.01 Rev A – September 2010 11 switch button again, it will be back to RTK mode. Power LED This indicator is on when X90 GNSS is on, and off when it is off. Satellite LED This LED indicates how many satellites the receiver is tracking on, if the LED flashes 5 times and then stops, it means the receiver is tracking 5 satellites. Record LED The record LED only flashes in 2 situations A. In the static mode The interval of flashing shows the sample interval you set in the HC-Loader or HCGPSet. B.RTK mode When you are using PDA to send commands to set the receiver’s configuration or just communicating with the receiver. Correction LED The Correction LED only flashes once per second when A. Base station successfully sends out difference data in RTK mode. B. Rover station successfully gets difference data from Base station. 3.3.2 Bottom View RS232 Serial Port RS232 serial port is a 9 pin 0-shell Lemo connector that supports RS-232 communications and external power input. Adaptor The 5/8” adaptor is used for setting up the receiver on the tripod. Battery Compartment WARNINGS:  Do not store batteries in the receiver unless it is applied.  Do not charge or use the battery if it appears to be damaged or leaking.  Do not damage the rechargeable Lithium-ion battery.
