Introduction

Congratulations! You have just acquired your new Z-Max™ GNSS Surveying System! GNSS (or Global

Navigation Satellite System) has revolutionized control surveys, topographic data collection and construction

surveying. Purchasing the right tools for a professional job is essential in today's competitive business

environment and learning to put these tools to work quickly and efficiently will be the focus of the Z-Max user

documentation.

If you're like us, then you're anxious to get started right away. You are not interested in reading a 300-page

user manual or searching through five different documents trying to find out how to assemble and turn on your

system. You want the right information, at the right time as you take the steps required to master GNSS

surveying. Getting Started with Z-Max is an easy-to-read booklet to help you identify and assemble the basic

parts of the system. The additional documentation section of this guide provides references to other system

documentation you will need as you become more familiar with the Z-Max System.

The Getting Started pamphlet will address the following questions:

• What are all the pieces in the shipping case?

• Did I receive everything I ordered?

• How does everything fit together?

• How can I quickly get started with my system?

• What documentation contains what information?

• Who do I contact if I need help?

The Getting Started pamphlet will not tell you how to survey with the system, or describe the technical features

of the system. The Getting Started pamphlet will give references to other user guides that will detail the

technical features of the Z-Max and surveying applications.

The Z-Max is a professional tool, and users are strongly advised to understand land surveying principles and

procedures before using this system.

What is in the shipping case?

You have opened your shipping case and you are looking at a collection of smaller containers that hold the

system accessories. Underneath the tray holding the smaller Z- Max parts, you will find a rugged case

containing the Z-Max Main Module.

The flexibility of the Z- Max system means each shipment may be different depending on your needs. To verify

your shipment, compare each item in the case with the items listed in the Shipping Document. Important items

will have part numbers on them and can be cross-referenced with the Shipping Document.

Z-Max GPS Receiver Module (P/N 800963)

GPS Antenna Module (P/N 800961)

Power Module and Charger

Max-Run (P/N 800974) or Max-Lite (P/N 800975)

This is the device that handles all the measuring,

recording, and processing of satellite

measurements. It also features a system control

interface on the front panel.

This is a highly sensitive antenna captures the faint

signals from the GNSS satellites. It is required for

the GPS Receiver Module to operate correctly.

The Z-Max Battery Module and charger.

The Battery Module provides power for

the system. The charger is used to

restore power in the battery.

Z-Max Communication Module (P/N 800964-0x)

Z-Max V Module (P/N 800964-01)

Interface Cables

Rover data link modules with UHF radios or cellular

modem.

For non-real-time systems, this device seals the

communications bay from moisture. The V-Module

looks similar to a Communications Module, so be

sure to verify the part number.

Cables for downloading data from the Z-Max

receiver to an office computer for processing.

Provides a comfortable way for a person to carry the Z-Max

on their back.

Provides a cable interface on the survey pole. Used when

the Z-Max is in Backpack Configuration.

Provides a cable interface on the GPS Receiver

Module. Used when the Z-Max is in Backpack Con-

figuration.

Pole RF Adapter to the Max-RF Adapter. The

cables for the GPS RF and the UHF RF are

identical except for color coding; the GPS RF

cable is coded black. Cables are required

when the Z-Max is in Backpack Configuration.

UHF

RF Adapter to the Max-RF Adapter. The cables

for the GPS- RF and the UHF-RF are identical

except for color coding; the GPS-UHF cable is

coded grey. Cables are required when the Z-Max

Getting Started

Let's get your system operational.

1. Charge the Power Module

The Power Module will arrive partially charged, but the charge level may be from 1% to 90%. So, plug in your

charger and connect the Power Module to the charger as shown in Figure 1. Charge the Power Module for at

least 2-3 hours to make sure that your Power Module is charged enough to get you through this booklet.

Charging the Power Module overnight is recommended. If you don't completely charge your Power Module

now, be sure to do so before going out into the field.

2. Attach the Power Module to the GPS Receiver Module.

Attach the Power Module to the GPS Receiver Module as shown in Figure 2.
