5700/5800 GPS Receiver User Guide 43

Setting up the Receiver 2

5700 Operation

2.7.3 Antennas

The 5700 receiver should normally be used with a Zephyr or Zephyr

Geodetic antenna. These antennas have been designed specifically for

use with the 5700 receiver.

Use Figure 2.15 as a guide for measuring the height of the Zephyr and

Zephyr Geodetic antennas. The Zephyr antenna is designed to be

measured to the top of the notch. The Zephyr Geodetic (shown) has

been designed to be measured to the bottom of the notch.

Figure 2.14 Measuring antenna height

Older models of antennas, such as the Choke Ring or Micro-

Centered™ L1/L2 antennas, need more power to operate than the

Zephyr models. If you want to use one of these antennas with a 5700

receiver, then you need to use an antenna power adapter, available

from Trimble, and an external power source for the antenna.
