Connecting the receiver to external devices
You can connect an SPSx51 Modular GPS receiver to the following devices:
• a Trimble controller running Trimble SCS900 Site Controller software
• an external radio-modem
• HYDROpro software
Trimble controller with SCS900 Site Controller software
You can operate an SPS GPS receiver with any Trimble controller, for example, a TSC2
®
or Trimble CU controller, that is running the SCS900 software. Typically, the receiver
and the controller operate from their own individual power sources. The receiver and
controller can communicate through Bluetooth wireless technology and can be
connected without a cable. However, if a cable is required, Tabl e 5.1 shows how to
connect the cables for each combination of SPS GPS receiver and Trimble controller.
External radio-modems
The most common data link for Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) operation is a radio. The
receiver is available with the following internal radios:
• 410–430 MHz (Tx/Rx, Rx only, or Tx only)
• 430–450 MHz (Tx/Rx, Rx only, or Tx only)
• 450–470 MHz (Tx/Rx, Rx only, or Tx only)
• 900 MHz (Tx/Rx, Rx only, or Tx only)
