Radiodetection RD8100 Guia Del Usuario página 23

Logs can be retrieved using the RD Manager PC application for usage analysis and
survey validation. Refer to the RD Manager operation manual for further information.
GPS
The RD8100 locator can be paired to an external GPS module or use its internal GPS
module (GPS models only) to be able to detect and store its latitude, longitude and
accurate UTC time alongside its location data. This positional information can then be
appended to Survey Measurements, or the automatic usage-logging system.
The presence of GPS data allows for the data to be mapped easily and to export and
save the information directly into GIS systems.
GPS menu settings
There are 5 options in the GPS menu:
• INT: Select this to use the internal GPS if present.
• EXT: Select this to use the GPS from a compatible paired device.
• OFF: Select this to switch off the internal GPS module and save battery.
• SBAS: Set SBAS (Satellite-based augmentation systems) mode to improve GPS
accuracy. When ON the GPS system will take longer to lock.
• RESET: Select YES to reset the internal GPS (GPS models only).
iLOC
iLOC lets you control the transmitter remotely using your RD8100 locator. With iLOC
you can adjust the output frequency, power settings and use SideStep. iLOC commands
are sent over a Bluetooth module that can operate at distances of up to 450m / 1400ft in
direct line of sight.
iLOC is a standard feature of all RD8100 locator models, and requires a Bluetooth
equipped Transmitter (Tx-10B or Tx-5B).
NOTE: Operating in built up areas and in areas with high electromagnetic
interference may reduce iLOC's performance.
Pairing to a transmitter
To pair to a transmitter you require a Bluetooth enabled model such as the Tx-5B or Tx-10B.
Before you begin, you should switch off all nearby Bluetooth equipment as they may
interfere with the locator and transmitter's pairing process.
