ECO#xxxx Chapter 1 Introduction The RE-S1 is a 1W radio extension system using 915+ spread spectrum technology. The RE-S1 can be used to enhance the following survey-related systems: • As a stand-alone repeater to increase the range between a Base and Rover in spread spectrum systems, such as with the GR-3 or HiPer Lite+ GPS systems. • As a transmit/receive external 915+ radio for any Base system, such as with the GB or Legacy series GPS receiver. Obstructions—such as buildings, terrain, trees, etc—greatly affect the usability and range of a spread spectrum system. The RE-S1 provides radio repeater capabilites and increase the operational range and effectivity of the system in unfavorable environments. NOTE The RE-S1 simply extends the operational range of a spread spectrum system. It does not increase range beyond the system’s OAF limitations. Figure 1-1. RE-S1 P/N 7010-0780 Introduction Getting Acquainted The RE-S1 is a transmit/receive/repeat 915+ spread spectrum radio modem. The RE-S1 is compatible with existing Topcon spread spectrum radio systems (some older HiPer models may need a radio modem upgrade), as well as Topcon base stations. Simple features allow the RE-S1 to be easily adaptable to any situation, and make it easy to use. RX/TX LED The RX/TX LED provides the following indications for the modem: • Green flashes – modem is in receive mode and is searching for radio link. • Green solid – radio link established. • Green solid with Red flash – modem is receiving. • Red solid – modem is in transmit mode. • Red flashes – improper configuration. RX/TX LED Figure 1-2. RE-S1 Receive/Transmit LED LED notes: The RX/TX LED will be solid green with a red flash when the Base receiver is within radio range of the repeater system. The red flash indicates the following: • A data packet has been received from the Base. • A data packet has been transmitted from the repeater system. If the RX/TX LED flashes green for an extended period of time, check the following: • The repeater’s distance from the Base. RE-S1 Operator’s Manual Getting Acquainted • The channel of the RE-S1, Base, and Rover. • The protocol of the RE-S1, Base, and Rover (FH915 Plus). Data and Power Ports The RE-S1 has the following ports: • Power – used to connect the repeater an an external power source. • Serial Ports A and C – used for communication between the repeater and an external device (computer or controller). Power Port Port A PortC Figure 1-3. RE-S1 Ports Radio Modem Antenna Port and Antenna A spread spectrum reverse TNC radio antenna is required to receive/ transmit a radio signal. The antenna connectes to the antenna port on the end of the RE-S1. Radio Modem Antenna Port Figure 1-4.

Installing Modem-TPS Modem-TPS is a configuration program for the radio modem board inside the receiver. Modem-TPS is available from the TPS website or on the GPS+ CD. Computer requirements for Modem-TPS are: Windows® 98 or newer and an RS-232C port. Use Modem-TPS version 2.0 or newer to correctly configure the RE-S1. 1. Navigate to the location of the Modem-TPS program and doubleclick the Setup.exe icon. 2. Keep the default installation location or select a new location. Click Finish (Figure 2-1). Figure 2-1. Select Modem-TPS Installation Location and Install P/N 7010-0780 Configuration and Usage 3. Click OK to complete the installation (Figure 2-2). 4. If desired, create a shortcut on the computer’s desktop for quick access to Modem-TPS (Figure 2-2). Figure 2-2. Installation Complete and Shortcut To uninstall Modem-TPS, use the Start menu on your computer: Click StartProgramsModem-TPSUninstall ModemTPS, and click Yes at the prompt. Then click OK when the uninstall completes. Configuring the RE-S1 as a Repeater After being configured as a repeater, the RE-S1 will pick up any radio signal on the same channel and forward it to another radio modem. All modems connected to the repeater must use the same protocol and channel. 1. Connect the power cable to the RE-S1 and to a power source. 2. Using the RS-232 serial cable, connect port A of the RE-S1 to a computer. 3. Open Modem-TPS and click Connect. 4. Select the protocol: FH915 Plus. NOTICE The Base, Rover, and Repeater must use the same protocol. 5. Select your location: United States or Australia. 6. Select the operation mode: Repeater. 7. Select the output power: 1W or 250mW.
