Resolute User Manual Version 2.5 1

Overview

The Resolute GNSS Receiver is an autonomous low power GNSS receiver with L1/L2 GPS and

GLONASS tracking abilities. Optionally, other satellite constellations and frequencies may be

added. The Resolute is powered by a flexible GNSS modem capable of RTK or Standalone data

collection.

The Resolute records GNSS data in the Septentrio Binary Format (SBF). Any blocks listed in the

SBF Reference Guide can be recorded at a configurable rate. Optional telemetry includes an

Iridium 9523 modem for both RUDICS and SBD, a cellular modem or 900 MHz Radio. The Resolute

is housed in a rugged enclosure and includes redundant SD cards capable of logging outputs from

external sensors.

Device Configurations

The Resolute is a flexible and powerful platform that comes in many different configurations. It

is important to realize that this manual may cover subjects that do not apply to your specific

device. Separate permission files are required for specific Resolute features, such as raw

measurements, Base station corrections, or some signals such as Galileo. Contact sales or support

for further clarification on which units contain which features. For a quick implementation guide

for your specific unit, please refer to the quick start guide.

Reference

The Reference Receiver is a GNSS receiver capable of recording raw GNSS measurements along

with standalone PVT (Position, Velocity, Time) data and many other SBF blocks. It is designed to

operate without any real-time corrections and can record data for post processing.

Polar

Similar to the Reference receiver, the Polar Resolute includes an Iridium 9523 modem for RUDICS

and SBD telemetry. The Polar Resolute also includes self-governing heaters for operation in

extreme cold, along with an IP67 enclosure.

RTK PIN Base -RTK Base Receiver

The RTK Base station is a correction generator for RTK measurements. Equipped with a 900MHz

radio or a connection to the internet, a single base station properly configured can broadcast a

correction service to one or more RTK Rovers. An RTK Base roughly measures an initial base

position and then measures deviations from this position to generate corrections. The Base

operates on the assumption that the Base antenna is not moving.

RTK PIN Rover -RTK Rover Receiver

The RTK Rover is the measurement and data collection sensor. Depending on the data filter

length (at receiver) and response time necessary, it is capable of measuring deviations on

centimeter or millimeter levels, when properly serviced with corrections. The RTK Rover should

be mounted to the desired landmark of whose movement is to be measured.

Resolute User Manual Version 2.5 2

NorthStar

The NorthStar is a correction repeater and communications unit that has two primary

functionalities relating to RTK receivers. First, it can be a correction relay unit to overcome

geographical issues such as distance and topography between the RTK Base and RTK Rover.

Secondly, can also be utilized as a collection point for RTK Rover data. In this second functionality,

the NorthStar can be attached to a server or doghouse computer and relay 30-second averaged

positions from any RTK Rovers in the radio network. While the theory of operation is similar to

the Resolute, the NorthStar is covered in a separate manual found at:

USB-Mini

Provides access for configuration of device for deployment via PC

Test Button

Used as a test to check if the device is working properly and should

turn all the LEDs on. It also initiates the device’s connection to its

peripheral devices. Hold the button to reset the device.

Radio TNC

Connection to Radio antenna via TNC connector

2 BA Ground Stud

Iridium TNC

Connection to Iridium antenna via TNC connector

GNSS Type N

Connection to GNSS antenna via Type N connector

Cellular TNC

Connection to Cellular antenna via TNC connector

The front panel of the Resolute has up to 7 connectors, depending on the configuration to

connect to various antennas.

The USB (USB Mini) is used as a diagnostic I/O port for the device. Alternatively, Serial 1 on the

14-pin circular Souriau connector can be used as a diagnostic port. The user can set various

settings on the device through this port, as well as receive diagnostic output. It is also where the

device will accept firmware upgrades.

Resolute User Manual Version 2.5 4

The Type N connector on the panel is supplied to attach to one of the many supported GNSS

antennae. Depending on what modems (iridium, cellular or radio) you have installed, there may

also be TNC connectors for the various telemetry options as indicated on the label.

The 10-pin circular Souriau connector contains the power connections. The 14-pin circular

Souriau connector contains the serial port connections.

Below are the pinouts for the two connectors:

The power leads on the 10-Pin connector (A and B) are connected to the red (+) and black (-)

flying leads on the supplied cable. They require a DC power supply of 11V (minimum) to 28V

(maximum). For Resolute units with Cellular or Iridium telemetry a 3A supply is required.

Removable Door: SD cards Access and SIM Installation

The Resolute has a removable door that allows access to the SD cards that are shipped with your

Resolute along with access to the SIM slots for optional Cell and Iridium Telemetry. Using a 3/32

Allen key, the four captive fasteners pictured below can be unscrewed from the main housing.

Opening the door will automatically unmount the cards to protect the stored data. No data will

be written while the door is removed.

Door fasteners in their unscrewed configuration. The door is free and able to be removed.

The image below shows the various components of the Resolute unit that can be viewed when

the door is open.
