500S™ MOUNTING
This section provides information on 500S™ antenna mounting locations and
options.
SELECTING THE PROPER ANTENNA LOCATION
Proper antenna placement is critical to positioning accuracy.
To select the proper antenna location:
• Place the antenna with an unobstructed view of the sky. An obstructed view of the
sky may impair system performance.
• The GNSS engine computes a position based on measurement from each
satellite to the internal GSS receiver.
• Mount the antenna on or close to the center of your point of measurement.
• Ideal antenna placement on a vehicle is the center of the cab roof assuming
there is a clear view of the sky.
• If possible, keep other antennas at least 91 cm (3’) away from the 500S™ receiver.
• Position the antenna as high as possible.
Port/Connection Description
Mounting Holes
Four off-set mounting holes. Two adapters are
shipped with the antenna as a single mounting kit.
The first adapter includes a marine 1” standard,
adaptable to 5/8” for use with magnetic mount.
Color Status
Blinking Red The power is on
Blinking Amber GNSS position is available
Blinking Any Color The receiver is operational
Solid Color for Extended Period The receiver has malfunctioned

ROUTING AND SECURING THE CABLES
Consider the following when routing cables:
• Do not run cables in areas of excessive heat.
• Do not expose cables to corrosive chemicals.
• Do not crimp or excessively bend cables.
• Coil up excess cable in the cab of the vehicle.
NOTE: Keep as large of a bend radius as possible when coiling.
• Secure the cable using plastic tie wraps as necessary.
• Do not run cables near high voltage or strong RF noise and transmitter sources.
MOUNTING OPTIONS
500S™ only allows for the following pole mounting options. To install the antenna:
1. Use the provided screws to secure the antenna mounting base to the antenna.
Verify the power and signal notch on the antenna mounting base faces towards
the power and signal connection on the bottom of the antenna.
2. Install the adapter in the threaded hole of the antenna mounting base.
3. If needed, secure the magnet mounting base to the roof cap.
4. Thread the adapter pole over the existing survey pole or to the magnet mounting
base.
FIGURE 3. Pole Mounting Components
5. Thread the antenna onto the mounting base antenna until snug.
Warning: Hand-tighten only. Damage resulting from over-tightening is not
covered by the warranty.

POWERING ON THE 500S™
POWER CONSIDERATIONS
500S™ accepts an input voltage of 7-32 VDC. For best performance use a clean and
continuous power supply. When applying 12 VDC, 500S™ will draw approximately 3.2
W.
CONNECTING TO A POWER SOURCE
500S™ uses a single cable for power and data input/output.
Warning: Do not apply a voltage higher than 32 VDC. This will damage the receiver
and void the warranty.
500S™ features reverse polarity protection to prevent excessive damage if the power
leads are accidentally reversed. With the application of power the 500S™
automatically proceeds through an internal startup sequence; however, it is ready to
communicate immediately.
500S™ OPERATION
Both GNSS and differential correction of 500S™ are preconfigured. The receiver will
work out of the box, and for most applications, little to no user setup is necessary.
When powered for the first time the 500S™ will perform a “cold start,” which involves
acquiring the available GNSS satellites in view and the SBAS differential service.
GNSS OPERATION
The GNSS internal receiver is always operating regardless of the mode of operation.
The following sections describe the general operation of the internal receiver.
AUTOMATIC TRACKING
The internal GNSS receiver of the 500S™ searches for GNSS satellites, acquires the
signals, and manages the navigation information required for positioning and
tracking.
RECEIVER PERFORMANCE
The 500S™ works by finding four or more GNSS satellites in the visible sky and uses
information from the satellites to compute a position within 2.5 m (98.5”). Since there
is some error in the GNSS data calculations, the 500S™ also tracks a differential
7
correction. The 500S™ uses these corrections to improve position accuracy to better
than 0.6 m (24”).
