However, the re-ceiver is a high-precision electronic instrument and should be treated with reasonable care.CAUTION - Operating or storing the receiver out-side the specified temperature range can damage it. For more information, see Physical Specifica-tions in this guide.High-power signals from a nearby radio or radar transmitter can overwhelm the receiver circuits. This does not harm the instrument, but it can pre-vent the receiver from functioning correctly. Do not use the receiver within 400 meters (1312 feet) of powerful radar, television or other transmitters. Low-power transmitters such as those used in cell phones and two-way radios do not normally inter-fere with receiver operations.
For more information, contact your Spectra Precision distributor.Bluetooth & Wifi RadiosThe radiated output power of the wireless radios is far below the FCC radio-frequency exposure limits. Nev-ertheless, the wireless radios shall be used in such a manner that the Spectra Precision receiver is 30 cm (11.8”) or further from the human body.The internal wireless radios operate within guidelines found in radio-frequency safety standards and rec-ommendations, which reflect the consensus of the scientific community. Spectra precision therefore be-lieves the internal wireless radios are safe for use by consumers.The level of energy emitted is far less than the elec-tromagnetic energy emitted by wireless devices such as mobile phones. However, the use of wireless radi-os may be restricted in some situations or environ-ments, such as on aircraft. If you are unsure of restrictions, you are encouraged to ask for authoriza-tion before turning on the wireless radios.COCOM LimitsThe US Department of Commerce requires that all exportable GNSS products contain performance lim-itations so that they cannot be used in a manner that could threaten the security of the United States.The following limitation is implemented on the re-ceiver: Immediate access to satellite measurements and navigation results is disabled when the receiver’s velocity is computed to be greater than 1000 knots, or its altitude is computed to be above 17,000 me-ters (59,055 feet). The receiver continuously resets until the COCOM situation is cleared.Technical AssistanceIf you have a problem and cannot find the informa-tion you need in the product documentation, contact your local distributor. Alternatively, request technical support using the Spectra Precision website at www.spectraprecision.com.Your CommentsYour feedback about the supporting documentation helps us improve it with each revision. Email your comments to documentation_feedback@spectrapre-cision.com.UHF RadiosRegulations and Safety. The receiver may be fitted with an internal radio as an option. It can also be connected to an external UHF radio.Regulations regarding the use of Ultra High Frequen-cy (UHF) radio-modems vary greatly from country to country. In some countries, the UHF kit may be used without obtaining an end-user license. Other coun-tries require end-user licensing. For licensing infor-mation, consult your local Spectra Precision dealer.Before operating the receiver with the UHF kit, deter-mine if authorization or a license to operate the UHF kit is required in your country. It is the end-user’s re-sponsibility to obtain an operator’s permit or license for the location or country of use.Exposure to RF energy is an important safety consid-eration. The FCC has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to radio-frequency electromagnetic energy.Proper use of this radio modem results in exposure below government limits. The following precautions are recommended:• DO NOT operate the transmitter when someone is within 30 cm (11.8 inches) of the antenna.• DO NOT collocate (place within 30 cm) the ra-dio antenna with any other transmitting device.• DO NOT operate the transmitter unless all RF connectors are secure and any open connectors are properly terminated.• DO NOT operate the equipment near electric blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.• All equipment must be properly grounded ac-cording to Spectra Precision installation in-structions for safe operation.• All equipment should be serviced only by a qual-ified technician.Connecting the SP90m to an external battery using an SAE-terminated cableThe wires used should all be certified UL 758 and CSA C22.2 No. 210, or similar. Minimum wire sec-tion should be AWG 18, with insertion of a 5-A fuse in series. The fuse should be certified “UL listed” and CSA certified 3-30 A (or equivalent).

1Introduction to SP90mThe Spectra Precision SP90m is a powerful, highly versatile, ultra-rugged, and reliable GNSS positioning solution for a wide variety of real-time and post-processing applications. It also comes with a variety of integrated communications options, such as Bluetooth, WiFi, UHF radio, cellular modem, and two MSS L-band channels to receive Trimble RTX correction services.The modular design of the SP90m allows for maximum flexibility on how the receiver can be used, such as base station, continuously operating reference station (CORS), RTK/RTX rover, for on-board machine integration, vessels, etc. The ultra-rugged design of the aluminum receiver housing protects the investment, especially in tough field environments.The state-of-the-art and patented Z-Blade GNSS-centric technology uses all available GNSS signals to deliver fast and reliable real-time positions. Besides supporting all currently available and future planned GNSS satellite signals, the SP90m GNSS receiver allows the connection of two GNSS antennas for precise heading determination without the need for a secondary GNSS receiver.
2First StepsUnpacking In its basic version, the SP90m is delivered with a transport bag, a Li-Ion battery, a dual-battery charger with battery inserts, an AC/DC power supply, a Bluetooth/WiFi antenna and accessories (see details in System Components Overview on page 4).Additionally, a choice of GNSS antenna and coaxial cable should have been made, as well as that of a country-specific power cord.When the chosen model of SP90m includes an internal radio, the power cable is different and a UHF antenna is added to the supply (see details on page 4).Basic Setup You may have the Li-Ion battery charged separately on the dual-battery charger (see page 24) or it can be placed in the receiver (see page 13) to be charged by the external DC source (AC/DC power supply) when connected as indicated below.DefaultConfigurationThe SP90m is shipped from the factory in the following configuration:• Antenna configuration: Single antenna (GNSS input #1)• Selected GNSS constellations and signals: All• Elevation mask (for position and raw data): 5 degrees• Anti-theft and startup protection: Both OFF• Base Mode: OFF (the receiver will operate as a rover)• Receiver with internal radio: Radio is ON• GSM, WiFi: Both devices OFF• Bluetooth, Ethernet: Both devices ON• Raw data recording: OFF• Internal GSM antenna is used• Preset messages for raw data recording: ATOM (PVT, ATR, NAV, DAT, RNX-0, OCC)• Distance unit used: Meters•No corrections messages preset to be generated in base mode1AC/DC Power SupplyPower LineSAE-to-DC AdapterCoaxial cableGNSS AntennaPower CordBluetooth/WiFiAntenna
3• Screen orientation: Normal• Screen timeout: 10 minutes•Buzzer: ON• Automatic receiver power-on and power-off: Disabled• ATL Recording: OFF• Access to Web Server: Protected. The default login is "admin" and the default password is "password". These may be changed using the Security tab in the Web Server.CustomizingReceiver Operation• If you wish to change the configuration, you need to:– Run the Web Server: see Getting Started With the Web Server on page 46.– Then choose your operating mode and follow the instructions to make it operational: See Using SP90m With a Single Antenna on page 55 or Using SP90m With Two Antennas on page 69.NOTE: Web Server functions not described in this manual are covered in the on-line context-sensitive help.• In all those applications where the Spectra Precision Survey Pro field software will be used, the configuration steps needed before operating the receiver in the requested mode may be taken directly from within Survey Pro. Typically in this case, a Bluetooth connection will be used between the data controller running Survey Pro and the SP90m.NOTE: Some configuration changes can also be made directly from the receiver’s front panel.

If however the installed driver does not work, you may replace it with one of the two drivers posted on the Spectra Precision website:State MeaningOffSP90m is off and no external power source is connected to the DC power input (but the inter-nal battery may be present).Solid greenSP90m is on (initializing or steady state), being powered from an external power source. If the internal battery is present, battery charging from the external source will take place if needed (see battery icon on General Status screen).Solid green, but with 0.5-s “off” time every 2 secSP90m is on (initializing or steady state), being powered from the internal battery. No external power source is applied.Blinking greenSP90m is running a 5-second power-off sequence following a long press on the Power button (regardless of the power source used).Solid redSP90m is off and an external power source is connected to the receiver. The internal battery may be missing or present. If it is present, that means the battery is fully charged.Blinking redSP90m is off and an external power source is connected to the receiver. An internal battery is present and being charged from the external power source.

A coaxial female connector (SMA type) allowing you to connect an external cellular antenna.The SP90m having a built-in GSM antenna, no external GSM antenna is usually required. In case of adverse reception conditions however (e.g. SP90m mounted in a rack), an external antenna can advantageously be used for better reception. Run the Web Server (Receiver> Network> Modem> Modem Antenna) to choose which of the internal or external antenna should be used.The SP90m uses a GSM antenna when it sends or receives RTK or differential corrections via its GSM modem.•[12]: UHF radio connector. A TNC coaxial female connector allowing you to connect a radio whip antenna. This connector is available only if the SP90m has been fitted with an internal radio.Warning! Do not confuse this coaxial connector with the GNSS inputs. Connecting a GNSS antenna to the UHF [9][13] [17][16][14] [15][10] [11] [12][8] [8]

13SIM Card The SIM card slot is located under the battery. Open the battery compartment (see page 13) and then insert the SIM card as shown below. Gently push the card to the right until you hear a click.To extract the SIM card, gently push it a bit further in. This releases it from the slot. Just let go before extracting the SIM card from the battery compartment. Battery Model &BatteryCompartmentThe battery used is a Lithium-Ion 7.4-V DC - 3700 mAh rechargeable battery. It is housed in a compartment accessible from above the SP90m.The battery door can be opened by lifting and then turning the quarter-turn wing nut counter-clockwise.The battery must first be inserted in the battery door (see picture) and then you can close and lock the battery door. The battery will smoothly connect to the receiver when closing the battery door.The battery will automatically operate as a backup power source for the receiver if for some reason the external DC source used was removed from the DC power input.
14Conversely, the battery will be charged by the external power source when needed. Indications are provided to report battery charging when this happens (see page 9).NOTE: If you are using a SIM card, you must insert it before inserting the battery. (See page 13).Buzzer The internal buzzer will sound whenever an error is detected. The buzzer will sound six times and then stop. The error icon will however continue to blink. To acknowledge the error notification, go back to the General Status screen (see page 28) and then press OK.The buzzer can be deactivated permanently from the front panel screen. Go to Display Settings, then go down into the options until Buzzer is displayed. From there you can disable the buzzer. Refer to page 36 as well.Port Pinouts USB Port On front panel, USB OTG “mini-B” connector.5-C connector, fitted with sealing cap.Pin Signal Name1 USB ID2GND3 Device (D+)4 Device (D-)5 Host (VBus)
