In this case the receiver can be turned on by pressing simultaneously F1 and F4

Continuing the start sequence Press ‘static’ in the previous menu, this screen appears and you will have to press ‘next’ more times

Continuing the start sequence The acquisition rate is selected here, 1s for kinematic, 30s for static

End of acquisition The receiver requests confirmation

End of acquisition Pressing F1 and F4 simultaneously will bring back the initial menu (see first slide)

Autonomy of a 1Go CF 1 day of observation at 30s = 3Mo Therefore 1Go permits approx. 10 months of acquisition Do not forget a USB card reader to make backups of the data stored in the CF

Automatic restart The internal parameters of the receivers allow (in principle) an automatic restart after a power failure. This means that in principle there is no need to close a session and restart a session as described above. Caution: if a session has been closed previously then it is mandatory to restart a session, the receiver will not do it by itself

Internal batteries Their autonomy is about 6 hours, there fore short power failures do not affect the acquisition. The internal batteries are loaded by the power supply

Power supply The receiver is provided with a 220V-12V converter. In case 220V in not available, it is possible to power the receiver with a battery of voltage between 12 and 24V (but the 12V cable with connectors for battery is not provided here)
