Chapter 111www.javad.com INTRODUCTIONExternal extra rugged digital high power UHF radio transceiver programmable in frequencyranges from 406.1 to 470 MHz. It has GMSK, DBPSK, DQPSK, 4FSK, D8PSK, and D16QAMmodulations with advanced forward error correction and data scrambling. The output power isprogrammable from 320 mW to 35 W. Figure 1-1. HPT435It takes incoming data, modulates it with GMSK, FSK, PSK or most spectrum efficient QAMmodulation and transmits it at RF power output levels from 25 dBm up to 45 dBm operating inUHF frequency band 406.1 to 470 MHz.The UHF transceiver is also capable of receiving RF signals through a 50 Ohm impedanceexternal antenna port. These signals are demodulated and output to the JAVAD GNSS receiver. HPT435 delivers a reliable radio link at up to 38.4 kbps over the air for the 25 kHz channelspacing, 19.2 kbps for 12.5 kHz, and 9.6 kbps for 6.25 kHz.The unmatched features of HPT435 include data scrambling, frequency hopping, user selectabletransmit output power level, low power consumption sleep modes, autoscanning for base.The unit’s user settings can be changed through the built-in Command Line interface (CLI), TracySoftware or through ModemVU.

ConfigurationPowering HPT 435Power supply requirements16 www.javad.com2.1.1. Power supply requirementsA single external power supply is necessary to operate HPT435. The external power supply needsto be Listed for US and Certified for EU countries, it needs also to be a Limited Power Source andrated for Outdoor Use and have an output rated for +12V, 10A. This may not be the same range asother JAVAD GNSS products with which you are familiar.CAUTION:To avoid the introduction of hazards when operating and installing, before connecting of theequipment to the supply, make sure that the supply meets local and national safety ordi-nances and matches the equipment’s voltage and current requirements.CAUTION:Never attempt any maintenance or cleaning of the supply while plugged in. Always removesupply from AC power before attempting service or cleaning.Warning:If the voltage supplied is below the minimum specification, the modem will suspend operation. If thevoltage supplied is above the maximum specification, the modem may be permanently damaged,voiding your warranty.Make sure cords are located so that will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwisesubjected to damage or stress. Do not operate equipment with a damaged cord or plug –replace immediately. To reduce the risk of damage to the equipment, pull by the plug bodyrather than the output cord when disconnecting the equipment.Do not operate the supply if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwisedamaged. Do not disassemble the supply. Warning:Before connecting the external power source and the modem, make sure that the power sourcematches the modem’s voltage and current requirements.

Appendix B37www.javad.com UHF RADIO USAGEMany countries require a license for radio users (such as the United States). Be sure you complywith all local laws while operating a UHF radio.Surveying in RTK mode has made UHF the most popular choice for communications betweenbase and rover receivers. Know the strengths and weaknesses of this technology to get the best useout of your receiver.The quality and strength of the UHF signals translates into range for UHF communications.The system’s range will greatly depend on the local conditions. Topography, localcommunications and even meteorological conditions play a major role in the possible range ofRTK communications.If needed, use a scanner to find clear channels for communication.
