Setting up Rover and Base (for Base + Rover mode):

1. Ensure you have two E1 Lite GNSS receivers. Designate one as the base and the other as the rover.
2. Connect both to your PDA device via Bluetooth.
3. Place both your E1 Lite base and rover in an open view do ceo.
4. Connect the whip antenna to both E1 Lite base and rover.
5. Configuración da base: Connect E1 Lite base to your PDA, go to Dispositivo >> Base. Para Modo de inicio base, podes introducir coordenadas de punto coñecidas ou seleccionar Punto único mode for automatic setup. Set Enlace de datos as Internal Radio, and customize radio channels, frequency, and protocol. Save settings and Start Base.
6. Configuración do Rover: Disconnect E1 Lite base and connect to the rover in the software. Go to Dispositivo >> Móver, conxunto Ligazón de datos as Internal Radio. Match and set the same protocol and frequency as the base setting. Click Colección para gardar a configuración e facer clic Solicitar.

4. Instrucións de funcionamento

4.1 Modos de traballo

The E1 Lite GNSS RTK system supports two primary working modes:

• Base + Rover Mode: Provides millimeter-level positioning. Compatible with base stations of other brands. Not subject to network and regional restrictions.
• Rover + CORS Mode: Provides centimeter-level positioning. Requires a network signal. CORS account is not included and must be purchased from your local CORS provider.

Figure 4.1: E1 Lite Working Modes.

4.2 Working with CORS/RTK Correction Service

To utilize the CORS/RTK correction service, ensure you have purchased a CORS/RTK Correction Service account in your local area. Your PDA device (phone/tablet/data collector) must have network access and support Bluetooth connection. Place your E1 Lite GNSS receiver in an open view do ceo.

1. Abre o programa SingularPad.
2. Fai clic "Communication" and connect to your E1 Lite receiver's SN via Bluetooth.
3. Fai clic Obter to obtain Mount-Point list and select appropriate one. Click Comeza e Solicitar.
4. Fai clic "Rover". Conxunto Ligazón de datos as Phone Internet. Then go to Modo de conexión and fill in your CORS/RTK Correction Service account details.

4.3 Viewestado de posicionamento RTK

After completing your E1 Lite RTK setup, check the current RTK solution status in the upper left corner of the SingularPad software:

• FIXADO: E1 Lite is receiving corrections stably and obtaining a Fixed RTK solution with centimeter-level accuracy. Typically, E1 Lite achieves a Fixed RTK solution in a few seconds under good environments.
• FLOTADOR: E1 Lite receives corrections from the base/CORS, but due to obstructions or magnetic field interference, the signal reception is not very stable and the accuracy is sub-meter level. In tougher conditions, it may take a bit longer to achieve FIXED status.
• AUTONÓMICO: Posicionamento por satélite nun só punto sen recibir datos de corrección RTK. A precisión é de arredor do nivel dun metro.

Figure 4.3: RTK Positioning Status Indicators.

Consello: Before surveying, make sure E1 Lite has a clear sky, free from obstacles like buildings, trees, cars, and more.

4.4 Funcións avanzadas

• Levantamento con inclinación de 60°: The E1 Lite GNSS Surveying System with IMU initializes in 5 seconds and supports tilt measurements up to 60°, compatible with regular 5/8" thread poles. This allows for surveying in challenging locations without needing perfect vertical alignment.
• 5 Kilometers UHF Range: The radio range between the rover and the base can reach 5 kilometers (3.1 miles). The E1 Lite is compatible with base stations of other brands in both Radio and CORS mode and supports RTCM v3/CMR correction data transmission.
• Robust Signal Tracking: Supports Full-Constellation Tracking (GPS/GLONASS/Galileo/BDS/QZSS/IRNSS/SBAS etc.), allowing for fixed RTK solutions in seconds even in challenging environments like multipath, trees, and city canyons.
• Easy Data Download via Web IU: Access E1's WiFi to conduct static data download, firmware upgrade, and configuration via its web páxina.
