Safety Warnings

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the U.S. Government, which is solely

responsible for the accuracy and maintenance of the GPS network. Accuracy can also be

affected by poor satellite geometry and obstructions, like buildings and heavy canopy.

Introduction

EFIX C5 GNSS USER GUIDE | 2022-03 Page | 6

1 Introduction

The C5 GNSS receiver is a portable and fully functional device, which remains the internal radio

module. Featuring full GNSS technology, it offers best-in-class GNSS signal tracking even in a

harsh environment, enabling GNSS surveying beyond usual constraints. The C5 GNSS

incorporates the latest innovations such as an inertial module (IMU) providing automatic pole-

tilt compensation in a very compact design.

1.1 Safety Information

1.1.1 Warnings and Cautions

An absence of specific alerts does not mean that there are no safety risks involved.

A Warning or Caution information is intended to minimize the risk of personal injury and/or

damage to the equipment.

WARNING - A Warning alerts you to a potential misused or wrong setting of the

equipment.

CAUTION - A Caution alerts you to a possible risk of serious injury to your person

and/or damage to the equipment.

1.2 Regulations and Safety

The receivers contain a built-in wireless modem for signal communication through Bluetooth®

wireless technology or through external communication datalink. Regulations regarding the

use of the wireless modem vary greatly from country to country. In some countries, the unit

can be used without obtaining an end-user license. However, in some countries, the

administrative permissions are required. For license information, consult your local dealer.

Bluetooth® operates in license-free bands.

Before operating a C5 GNSS receiver, determine if authorization or a license to operate the

unit is required in your country. It is the responsibility of the end-user to obtain an operator's

permit or license for the receiver for the location or country of use.

Introduction

1.2.1 Use and Care

This receiver is designed to withstand the rough environment that typically occurs in the field.

However, the receiver is high-precision electronic equipment and should be treated with

reasonable care.

CAUTION - Operating or storing the receiver outside the specified temperature range

will cause irreversible damage.

1.3 Technical Support

If you have a problem and cannot find the information you need in this manual or EFIX website

geo.com) or Skype (support@efix-geo.com).

1.4 Disclaimer

Before using the receiver, please make sure that you have read and understood this User Guide,

as well as the safety information. EFIX holds no responsibility for the wrong operation by users

and for the losses incurred by the wrong understanding about this User Guide. However, EFIX

reserves the rights to update and optimize the contents in this guide regularly. Please contact

2 Getting Started with C5

2.1 About the Receiver

The new C5 GNSS receiver offers integrated IMU-RTK technology to provide a robust and

accurate GNSS positioning in any circumstances. Unlike the standard MEMS based GNSS

receivers, the C5 GNSS IMU-RTK combines state-of-the-art GNSS RTK engine, calibration-free

professional IMU sensor, 4D-3S initialization and advanced GNSS tracking capabilities. Survey

projects are achieved with high productivity and reliability pushing the boundaries of

conventional GNSS RTK survey.

The receiver can be used as the part of an RTK GNSS system with EFIX eField software.

Moreover, user can download the GNSS data that recorded in the internal memory of receiver

to a computer.

To configure the receiver for performing a wide variety of functions, you can use the web

interface by connecting the receiver with PC or smartphone through Wi-Fi.

2.2 Parts of the Receiver

The operating controls are all located on the front panel. Serial ports and connectors are

located on the bottom of the unit.

2.2.1 Front Panel

The following figure shows a front view of the receiver.
