GS10/GS15, Description of the System
)Once the first operational Galileo satellites are available, a software update will be
required.
)The GS GNSS instruments are additionally designed to support Compass. The
Compass signal definition is not fully finalised, although, test signals have been
tracked in a test environment. As changes can still occur, Leica Geosystems cannot
guarantee full Compass compatibility.
)The GS GNSS instruments use the GPS P-code signal, which by U.S. policy is liable to
be switched off without notice. Phase measurements on L2 are ensured as these
instruments automatically switch to patented tracking techniques.

3.2 Batteries
3.2.1 Operating Principles
Charging /
first-time use
• The battery must be charged prior to using it for the first time because it is deliv-
ered with an energy content as low as possible.
• The permissible temperature range for charging is between 0°C to +40°C/+32°F
to +104°F. For optimal charging, we recommend charging the batteries at a low
ambient temperature of +10°C to +20°C/+50°F to +68°F if possible.
• It is normal for the battery to become warm during charging. Using the chargers
recommended by Leica Geosystems, it is not possible to charge the battery if the
temperature is too high.
• For new batteries or batteries that have been stored for a long time (> three
months), it is effectual to make only one charge/discharge cycle.
• For Li-Ion batteries, a single discharging and charging cycle is sufficient. We
recommend carrying out the process when the battery capacity indicated on the
charger or on a Leica Geosystems product deviates significantly from the actual
battery capacity available.
Operation /
Discharging
• The batteries can be operated from -20°C to +55°C/-4°F to +131°F.
• Low operating temperatures reduce the capacity that can be drawn; high oper-
ating temperatures reduce the service life of the battery.

GS10/GS15, Safety Directions 81
Lightning
conductors
Suggestion for design of a lightning conductor for a GNSS system:
1) On non-metallic structures
Protection by air terminals is recommended. An air terminal is a pointed solid or
tubular rod of conducting material with proper mounting and connection to a
conductor. The position of four air terminals can be uniformly distributed around
the antenna at a distance equal to the height of the air terminal.
The air terminal diameter should be 12 mm for copper or 15 mm for aluminium.
The height of the air terminals should be 25 cm to 50 cm. All air terminals should
be connected to the down conductors. The diameter of the air terminal should
be kept to a minimum to reduce GNSS signal shading.
2) On metallic structures
Protection is as described for non-metallic structures, but the air terminals can
be connected directly to the conducting structure without the need for down
conductors.
