GNSS Safety Warning

The iG5 GNSS receiver tracks and utilizes signals from many

space-based satellite navigation systems:

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the

US Government which is solely responsible for the

accuracy and maintenance of the GPS network.

Accuracy can also be affected by bad satellite geometry

and obstructions including buildings and tree canopy.

The GLONASS (GLObal NAvigation Satellite System), is a

satellite navigation system operated by the Russian

Aerospace Defense Forces.

The Galileo System is the global navigation satellite

system (GNSS) that is operated by the European Union

(EU) and European Space Agency (ESA)

3 iG5 User Manual

BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) (also known as

COMPASS or BeiDou-2) is operated by CNSA (China

National Space Administration.)

SBAS (Satellite Based Augmentation Services) including

WAAS (USA), MSAS (Japan), EGNOS (Europe), QZSS

(Asia), and GAGAN (India) may also be utilized by the iG5

for carrier-phase corrections, in addition to differential

corrections.

iGage Mapping Corporation is not responsible for, nor

warrants the viability of the space segment portion of the

GNSS system. The user is cautioned that they alone are

responsible for determining the application of the iG5 to their

task at hand.

Any of the GNSS system components can fail at any time. Be

prepared for down time and failures. Do not us the iG5

receiver for any critical navigation purpose.

The Really-Quick-Start Guide for

Static Operation

Before First Use

Please read the “Best OPUS Practices for New and

Experienced Users” section of this User Manual on page 50.

It will save you time and failed jobs.

In the Field

1. Fully charge the internal battery or attach an external

power source.

2. Mount the receiver over the point you want to survey.

Level and measure the Instrument Height (HI), use a

fixed height tripod or range pole with Hold-a-Pole if

available. For best results: align the button panel to face

north, double-check your bubble and the instrument

height (HI.)

Record the HI, start time and point description in your

field notes:

3. Push the ON/OFF button and hold it for 1-second until

the lights flash. After 30 seconds the blue LED will flash

once for every tracked Satellite.

4. Verify that the yellow ‘Files’LED flashes once every 1-

second as the receiver logs data.

5. Let the receiver record data for at least:

OPUS-Rapid Static: 16-minutes

OPUS-Static: 121-minutes

6. Turn the receiver off by pushing and holding the

ON/OFF button for 1-second.

Office / Desktop

1. Install the download tool from the included thumbdrive

or get the latest version from www.iGGPS.com.

2. Turn on the receiver, wait 10-seconds for the power LED

to flash and then plug your iG5 into a USB connector on

your computer.

3. If you see the Windows AutoPlay screen:

click on the red ‘X’ button on the upper-right corner.

If you see the Windows 10 AutoPlay screen:

just ignore it.

4. Start the iGx Download tool from your desktop, push the

‘Download from GPS’ button:

5. Highlight the occupation, set the Point ID, the

Description and the HI; push the ‘Submit to OPUS’

button.

6. When prompted press OK, then Control-V (to paste the

file location and name,) then press the “Enter” key on

your keyboard, or click on ‘Open’ to set the ZIP filename.

7. You will need to manually select the correct antenna

type. Click anywhere in the ‘antenna’ selection box:

Then in the drop-down selection box:

Enter ‘IG5”, wait a moment for the list to populate and

then click on the ‘IGAIG5 NONE’ selection to choose the

correct antenna model.
