Chapter Ⅰ Preface
Read this chapter, you will have a brief knowledge of SOUTH Company and G5
measurement system.
§1.1 Introduction
Welcome to South Surveying & Mapping Technology CO., LTD, which is China’s leading
manufacturer of surveying equipment including GNSS receivers and Total Stations. To know
more about SOUTH, please visit our official website https://www.southinstrument.com/
This manual takes G5 positioning system for example, to explain how to install, set up and uses
the RTK system as well as the use of the accessories. We recommend that you read these
instructions carefully before using the instrument.
§1.2 Applications
Control Survey: dual-band (dual-frequency) system static measurements can accurately
complete the high-precision deformation observation, photo-control point measurement.
Highway Survey: quickly complete the encryption of the control points, road topographic
mapping, cross-section measurement, profile measurement with K-survey.
CORS Application: provide more stable and convenient data link for field operations. It is
seamlessly compatible with all types of domestic CORS applications.
Data acquisition measurement: perfect match SOUTH various measurement software to do
quick and easy data acquisition.
Stakeout shot:large-scale point, line, plane lofting.
Electric Power Measurement:power line measurement orientation, ranging, angle calculation.
Marine application:oceanographic research, dredging, piling, inserted row, making the marine
operations more convenient and easier.

§1.3 Main Features
All Constellations and More Channels
With 1598 channels, G5 is capable to track signal from 5 satellite constellations , process signal
of up to 16 frequencies and provide stable and reliable accuracy.
More Powerful and More Durable
Thanks to the 3W Farlink radio, when it works as an UHF base station G5 is able to
transmit correction data farther than others, in optimal condition the working range
can be 10 to 15 km.The shock-resistant frame, water-proof frame all have been enhanced, now
the overall proof level is IP68.
Superior Endurance, Up to 25 hours working
The newly developed power management system allows G5 to work for 10 to 25
hours and can be recharged by a type-C connector.
Color Touch Screen, Makes Workflow Simpler
Users can operate G5 by touch screen and key buttons, easy and fast.
RTK-Keep
When G5 loses the RTK correction data source from base station, this function will
help receiver to maintain the precise position for a few minutes.
L-band Correction, 4-10cm PPP
G5 is able to receive B2b signal via L-band, and perform a single point positioning.
It is a great help to surveyors who work in particularly difficult areas. This service is
available in 2022 from Asian-Pacific region.
