The SPSx80 Smart GPS antennas are designed to
be used for the following infrastructure and site
development applications:
• Layout of structure foundations, caissons
and piles
• Earthworks, fine grading and finishing
stakeout operations
• Initial site measurements to verify design
levels and regular subsequent
measurements to determine progress
volumes
• Measurements and grade/thickness checks
on laid materials
The SPSx80 incorporates a GPS antenna,
receiver, internal radio, and battery in a rugged
light-weight unit that is ideally suited as an all-
on-the-pole RTK rover or quick setup/rapid
mobilization base station. LEDs enable you to
monitor satellite tracking, radio reception, data
logging status, and power. Bluetooth
®
wireless
technology provides cable-free communications
between the receiver and controller.
You can use the SPSx80 as part of an RTK GPS
system with the Trimble SCS900 Site Controller
software.
All the receivers can optionally record GPS data
to the receiver’s optional internal memory and
download to a computer using the serial
connection.
