Introduction
The SPS985 GNSS smart antenna can be used for the following infrastructure and site development
applications:
Layout of structure foundations, caissons, and piles
Earthworks, fine grading and finishing stakeout operations
Initial site measurements to verify design levels and regular subsequent measurements to
determine progress volumes
Vehicular-mounted site supervisor applications
Measurements and grade/thickness checks on laid materials
The GNSS smart antenna incorporates a GNSS antenna, receiver, internal radio, and battery in a
rugged light-weight unit that is ideally suited as an all-on-the-pole RTK rover or quick setup/rapid
mobilization base station. LEDs enable you to monitor satellite tracking, radio reception, data
logging status, Wi-Fi, and power. Bluetooth wireless technology provides cable-free
communications between the receiver and controller.
You can use the SPS985 smart antenna as part of an RTK GNSS system with the Trimble SCS900 Site
Controller software. The receiver can optionally record GPS data to the receiver’s optional internal
memory and download to a computer using the serial connection.
The GNSS smart antenna has no front panel controls for changing settings. To configure these
receivers:
In real time, use external software such as the SPS web interface, the HYDROpro software, or
the WinFlash utility.
Use an application file. To edit an application file, use the Configuration Toolbox utility.

Related information
Sources of related information include the following:
Release notes – The release notes describe new features of the product, information not
included in the manuals, and any changes to the manuals. They can be downloaded from the
Trimble website at www.trimble.com/support.shtml.
Trimble training courses – Consider a training course to help you use your GNSS system to its
fullest potential. For more information, go to the Trimble website at
www.trimble.com/training.html.
Batteries
The SPS985 GNSS smart antenna has one Lithium-ion battery which can be charged when it is
plugged into an external power source through Port 1, or the battery can be removed for charging.
During measurement operations, each internal battery typically provides about 4 hours of power if
using the internal Rx (receive) radio and about 3.5 hours operating as a base station using the
internal transmit radio. These times vary according to the type of measurement and the operating
conditions.
Battery safety
Charge and use the battery only in strict accordance with the instructions provided.
WARNING – Do not damage the rechargeable Lithium-ion battery. A damaged battery can cause an explosion or
fire, and can result in personal injury and/or property damage.
To prevent injury or damage:
– Do not use or charge the battery if it appears to be damaged. Signs of damage include, but are not limited to,
discoloration, warping, and leaking battery fluid.
– Do not expose the battery to fire, high temperature, or direct sunlight.
– Do not immerse the battery in water.
– Do not use or store the battery inside a vehicle during hot weather.
– Do not drop or puncture the battery.
– Do not open the battery or short-circuit its contacts.
WARNING – Avoid contact with the rechargeable Lithium-ion battery if it appears to be leaking. Battery fluid is
corrosive, and contact with it can result in personal injury and/or property damage.
To prevent injury or damage:
– If the battery leaks, avoid contact with the battery fluid.
– If battery fluid gets into your eyes, immediately rinse your eyes with clean water and seek medical attention.
Do not rub your eyes!
– If battery fluid gets onto your skin or clothing, immediately use clean water to wash off the battery fluid.
SPS985 GNSS Smart Antenna Getting Started Guide
Connecting the receiver to a vehicle battery
WARNING – Use caution when connecting battery cable's clip leads to a vehicle battery. Do not allow any metal
object or jewelry to connect (short) the battery's positive (+) terminal to either the negative (-) terminal or the
metal of the vehicle connected to the battery. This could result in high current, arcing, and high temperatures,
exposing the user to possible injury.
WARNING – When connecting an external battery, such as a vehicle battery, to the receiver, be sure to use the
Trimble cable with proper over-current protection intended for this purpose, to avoid a safety hazard to the user
or damage to the product.
Charging the Lithium-ion battery
The rechargeable Lithium-ion battery is supplied partially charged. Charge the battery completely
before using it for the first time. If the battery has been stored for longer than three months, charge
it before use.
WARNING Charge and use the rechargeable Lithium-ion battery only in strict accordance with the instructions.
Charging or using the battery in unauthorized equipment can cause an explosion or fire, and can result in personal
injury and/or equipment damage.
To prevent injury or damage:
– Do not charge or use the battery if it appears to be damaged or leaking.
– Charge the Lithium-ion battery only in a Trimble product that is specified to charge it. Be sure to follow all
instructions that are provided with the battery charger.
– Discontinue charging a battery that gives off extreme heat or a burning odor.
– Use the battery only in Trimble equipment that is specified to use it.
– Use the battery only for its intended use and according to the instructions in the product documentation.
To charge the battery, first remove the battery from the receiver, and then place it in the battery
charger, which is connected to mains power.
Battery charger
The charger can charge two types of Lithium-ion batteries. It can be powered by mains or vehicle
battery. The following figure shows the GPS and Total Station battery, dual slot battery charger (P/N
53018010), power supply (P/N 78650) and AC power cable (P/N 78651):
SPS985 GNSS Smart Antenna Getting Started Guide
The Charger Kit Dual Slot consists of:
Charger dual-battery slot
Power supply for charger
Cable AC kit AC for power supply
Chargeable batteries
The charger can charge the following types of batteries:
Lithium-ion Rechargeable Battery (Smart Battery), 4.4 Ah, 11.1 V, P/N 49400
Lithium-ion Rechargeable Battery, 2.6 Ah, 7.4 V, P/N 92600-HH
Lithium-ion Rechargeable Battery, 2.4 Ah, 7.4 V, P/N 54344
Charger slots
The charger has two slots. Each slot can charger either type of a battery. Batteries are charged
sequentially. Beside each slot are two LED indicators (red and green) to indicate the battery status.
Power supply
The charger can be powered by mains (using the power supply for the charger) or by using a 12 V car
adapter-to-charger cable.

Parts of the SPS985 Smart GNSS antenna
All operating controls are located on the front panel. Ports and connectors are located on the
bottom of the unit.
Front panel
The front panel contains the Power button and four indicator LEDs.
The Power button controls the receiver’s power on or off functions.
The indicator LEDs show the status of power, satellite tracking, Wi-Fi, and radio reception.

Web Help.
Button and LED operations
Note – SPS985 only
The LEDs on the front panel indicate various operating conditions. Generally, a lit or slowly flashing
LED indicates normal operation, a LED that is flashing quickly indicates a condition that may require
attention, and an unlit LED indicates that no operation is occurring. The following table defines each
possible LED state:
