Trimble's new Full GNSS rugged RTK rover!
The SPS985 is the smallest and toughest GNSS receiver Trimble has ever built. With its enhanced internal shock isolation, the SPS985 is built for high-vibration use on an all-terrain vehicle (ATV), quad bike or supervisor truck. User-friendly features such as integrated Wi-Fi and wideband radio communications, quick release connector, and smart phone configuration make it easy to use as a pole-mounted rover or base station
Many of the mines have found using a Trimble total station with SCS900 is the safest and most productive way to map mine progress. Any of these new instruments with the “DR+” can shoot several thousand feet without a reflector. All this means measuring accurately without endangering surveyors while doing it with more accuracy and speed. To download the quick start guide click here SCS900tt2

November 30th & December 1st the first Trimble systems Mining training will take place in Bagdad, AZ at the mine. This is for Bagdad personnel only.

Contact Michael Maier for more information 602-513-6760 or mmaier@sitechsw.com
Creating a local site in SCS900 is simple enough, but if your site is covering more than 12 miles you may want to load a GEOID model. The following video shows what a GEOID is and how to use it.
GPS receivers are computers with clocks that use radio waves to measure distance. Because your receiver is communicating with other computers that are flying around the earth at 13,000 miles in space ( satellites ) the current version of “firmware” between receiver and satellites is very important. If you want your receiver to lock in quick and reliable you need to keep the firmware updated.
How to update your receiver?
Go to the Trimble web site (www.trimble.com) and under the SUPPORT & TRAINING drop down open the Support A-Z List. Find your receiver listed and download the latest version of firmware.
Along with the firmware a program called “WinFlash” will be installed on your computer.
Use WinFlash to connect to your desktop computer to your GPS receiver.
WinFlash Program
Choose a com port on your desktop computer and connect a serial (db9) cable from computer to receiver.
Choose Device and hit Next.
Verify receiver options and then upgrade your receiver.
