Introduction

This Pocket Guide is a quick reference guide to using

the Z-Max Surveying System. The guide provides a

short description of the modules and their

functionality including using LEDs, front panel display

menus. The Pocket guide also includes schematic

diagrams of system hardware setup for static,

kinematic and RTK surveys. This information does

not contain complete explanations for operation and

usage. More complete descriptions and additional

information can be found in the Z-Max Operation and

Applications manual.

Module Description &

Connection

The Z-Max is a modular system that uses intercon-

necting components called modules. There are five

important modules.

2Z-Max Surveying System Pocket Guide

GPS Receiver Module

The GPS Receiver module, Figure 1, is

essentially a specialized computer for processing

and manipulating GPS measurements. The GPS

receiver module has functionality similar to a

personal computer including keypad, display,

memory card, serial port, USB port, Bluetooth port

and power port.

Figure 1 GPS Receiver Module

Front Panel

The Z-Max front panel allows you to power on/off

the receiver, monitor basic receiver functions via

the four LED status lights, and control receiver via

the front panel LED Display.

SD Card Slot / USB Port

The SD Card slot and USB port are located

behind a small door below the four control keys.

Data recorded by the Z-Max is stored on an SD

Memory card.

Rear Panel

The narrow rear panel of the Z-Max Main module,

contains serial and external power ports for

connection to peripheral equipment.

4Z-Max Surveying System Pocket Guide

Serial Ports

The serial ports are used for communication

between the Z-Max and external equipment.

Serial A: Serial A is a two-way serial port

using RS-232 protocol, the protocol used by

personal computers

Serial B: Serial B is a two-way serial port

that can be toggled between RS-232 and

RS-422 protocols. RS-422 is a specialized

protocol for very long serial cables.

Power Port

The rear panel contains an external power

connector that allows you to power the receiver

externally with a DC power source. The input

voltage must be 10-28 VDC. External sources of

DC power include, battery, auto lighter or an AC/

DC converter. Special cables are typically needed

for external power sources.

GPS Antenna Module

The GPS antenna module, Figure 2, contains the

Max-Trac GPS antenna. The GPS Antenna module

connects to either the Receiver module, or to the top

of the UHF Antenna module if the UHF

Communication module is used. The Antenna

module fits into the antenna receptacle at the top of

either the Main module or the UHF antenna module.

Make sure the base of the Antenna module is

oriented so that the flattened side is lined up with the

flattened area of the receptacle, and the module will

push easily into place. Once in place, twist the

threaded collar on the Antenna module until the

antenna is securely locked in place.

6Z-Max Surveying System Pocket Guide

Power Module

The Power module, Figure 3, is the primary internal

power source for the Z-Max. To plug in the module,

insert the small ledge of the Power module into the

rear of the GPS receiver module housing first. This

will correctly align the module. Using the ledge like a

hinge, swing the module closed until the latch on the

Power module clicks into place. If you require

additional or backup battery power, external power

sources can be used in conjunction with the Power

module.

Figure 3 Power Module and Charger

Communication Module

The Communication module, Figure 4, contains the

data link(s) for transmitting or receiving data during

DGPS and RTK applications. The Communication

module can house a variety of wireless

communication devices or combinations of devices.

Communication devices will vary by application and

geographic location. In case the receiver is not

intended for real-time operation, an empty

communication module, or V-module will be supplied

in order to provide the moisture seal of the module

bay. Refer to packing list to identify which

communication device is being used.
