Contents Page 3 of 9 Chapter I : A brief introduction of S9STONEX® devoted itself to offer to surveyors the most advanced GPS tools they need. GPS RTK surveying technology plays an important role in surveying work and its use is getting more and more widespread. As a leading GPS RTK instrument produced, STONEX® guarantees the S9, its latest RTK GPS receiver, is suited for the requests of precision, reliability and user friendliness of nowadays. S9 is able to receive both frequencies of GPS signal, but also satellite signals from GLONASS and GALILEO, so we must correctly speak of “GNSS” receiver. S9 mainframe is integrated with GNSS antenna, GNSS module, Bluetooth device and battery. S9 is totally integrated: that means that the surveyor only needs the handheld to start its job. The exquisite outlook and the amazing color bring you a fashioned surveying situation. The design has a higher stability, less power losing, smaller volume and lighter weight than the previous STONEX® receivers. S9 has a special design which makes it waterproof, dustproof and quakeproof. The batteries and built‐in radio are set in the bottom of mainframe, giving more effective dustproof and waterproof qualities, and making S9 a better performer in field surveying. Wireless receiver unit weights 1.2 kg: the rover is light and easy to carry. The low power losing of receiver allows the single battery to meet a long time workability. Integrated design and anti‐jamming property are combined perfectly: the former avoids the problem of a cumbersome external antenna, and the mainframe design can resolve the jamming problem effectively. The performance of data‐transfer radio technology is at the same level of international advanced technology: the bit error rate (BER) is 10‐7 and the radio collision problem is reduced.
Contents Page 4 of 9 The S9 receiver mount a GPS/GLONASS antenna with a four feed technology. This design is able to reduce the electrical phase center error ellipsoid and in addiction it improves the Right Hand Circular Polarization Characteristics (RHCP) of the antenna, resulting in enhanced GPS signal tracking and improved multipath rejection, in case a polarization reversal has taken place as a result of the signal reflection. The embedded receiver firmware can customize different RTK software for different applications. The data transfer is easy and fast, like a Plug and Play USB drive. STONEX® provide S9 receivers with a two year complete international warranty . to the operational temperatures, limits which should not be exceeded for a correct functioning. It is also important to point out that in each weather case after coming back from the field. you should keep open the container in a warm and dry place and in the same time taking out the controller and receiver out from the container, in order to make them dry. Anyway we recommend you to treat the instrument with reasonable care. Even if you have used other GPS or GNSS products before, we recommend that you spend some time reading this manual to learn about the special features of this product. If you are not familiar with GNSS technology, we suggest to read a specific book in order to better understand the contents of this manual. Anyway you can ask for any technical support to our address support@stonexesurveying.com or contact your local dealer.
Contents Page 5 of 9 Chapter II : S9 mainframeII.1 The outlook of mainframe The mainframe has an almost cylindrical shape, with a base larger than the height. There are three parts: an upper cap, a rubber loop and the main structure. The upper cap protects the GNSS antenna placed inside. The rubber loop has the function of softening possible blows or falls. In the front side of the main structure there are keys and lights, on the bottom side there are one slot for the battery. All the others components of the receiver (Bluetooth device, main board, etc.) are contained inside the main structure.

In base mode its blinking means that base is transmitting data. In rover mode and GPS data link, its blinking after connection shows that the data link module is working in good condition.  Fig. 2.7 ‐ S9 status light
