Quick Start Guide

This guide will help you get your RTK Base operational in just a few minutes.

Hardware Setup

1. Connect the Antenna

Attach the GNSS antenna to the RTK Base: - Connect the antenna cable to the "GNSS ANT" connector - Mount the antenna in a location with clear sky view - Avoid obstructions (buildings, trees) near the antenna

2. Power Connection

Connect power to the RTK Base: - Input voltage: 12V DC - Power connector: Standard 2-pin terminal block - The base will boot automatically when power is applied

3. Initial Boot

When powered on: 1. Red and Green LEDs blink alternately (1 Hz) during initialization 2. LEDs blink simultaneously when acquiring initial position 3. Green LED blinks at 1 Hz when operational

First Time Configuration

Access the Web Interface

  1. Connect to WiFi network: RTKWifi
  2. Default password: rziGTvnr
  3. Open web browser and navigate to: http://192.168.4.1
  4. The web interface will load automatically

Configure Network (Optional)

To connect to your WiFi network: 1. Go to WiFi settings in the web interface 2. Enter your WiFi SSID and password 3. Save and reboot

Or use Ethernet for wired connection: 1. Connect Ethernet cable 2. The base will obtain IP via DHCP automatically

Start Survey-in

For the first setup, perform a survey-in to determine precise position:

  1. In web interface, click "Start Survey-in"
  2. Wait for completion (approximately 90 seconds with Fast SVIN)
  3. The base will automatically save the reference position

Note: The antenna must have clear sky view for successful survey-in.

Verify Operation

Check that the base is operational:

  • Green LED: Blinking 1 Hz = Normal operation
  • Web Interface: Shows "Operational" status
  • RTCM Output: Active and publishing

Next Steps

  • Connect your robot to receive RTCM corrections
  • Configure MQTT for cloud connectivity
  • Refer to the REST API for programmatic access
  • See Console Commands for advanced configuration

Troubleshooting

If the base shows errors:

  • Check antenna connection (Green blinking = antenna error)
  • Verify network connectivity (Yellow blinking = network error)
  • Ensure clear sky view (Blue blinking = survey-in error)

Press the configuration button briefly to see error details on the RGB LED.
