1.1 Character, composing, technical specification and configuration of
the system
1.1.1 Polaris 9600 new character
9600 receiver is an intelligent, integrative and static GPS receiver. The light and handy
integrative mainframe can make you enjoy the survey work. All components are integrated to the
small mainframe, including cables, batteries, receiving antenna, etc. You can view the ephemeris
and satellites graph on the large LCD screen when collecting data. Furthermore, the two batteries
can work alternately to supply power, which assures the survey work uninterrupted. The
mainframe fits for all level users, it can be used as intelligent mainframe or can be used to gather
data by inside collection. The EMS memory of 9600 is 16M, which can continuously store data
lasting 20 days.
1.1.2 Polaris 9600 System Composing
Polaris 9600 system includes hardware and software as follows.
Hardware:
1. 9600 receiver;
2. Batteries and charger;
3. Wood or aluminum tripod;
4. Transmit cable:
The receiver includes one CPU, one OEM board, a single frequency collection, a receiving
antenna and a shield board.
Software:
The software includes data transform software and GPS data processing software. The latter
includes such many functions as baseline vector process, close difference auto search, net
adjustment, altitude closure and map output, etc.
9600 GPS survey system uses static relative position mode. This mode needs two or more than
two receivers when doing outside work. On the other hand, to convenient field work and to
improve the efficiency, we recommend you to use as many receivers as possible. The standard
configuration includes three receivers, you can increase or reduce the amount according to your
need.
9600 GPS survey system can be extended as processing system. The accuracy is from ¡À 0.1m
to¡À 1m.(Accuracy is inverse ratio to operation distance.)
Processing survey system uses two or more receivers to work outside. One is as base station the
other is rovers. The system can do the work similar to dynamic survey without real time data link
communication, the operation distance can reach 300 kilometers or more. The data after
processing can enter CAD to edit conveniently. The result can also be inputted to GIS system,
such as Mapinfo, etc.
Processing survey system is very simple, and the operation is very agile and convenient, so it
applies to extensive field, such as soil management department, survey department, sea research,
irrigation and natural environment holding, forest research, geological research, forest resource
perambulation, oil and mine prospecting, sea-route surveying, geodetic surveying, control
surveying, port construction and program, sail sign position set, sea orientation and holing,

highway and railroad surveying, etc.
1.1.3 Technique Parameters
1. Receiver:
Channel: independent 12 channels
Tracking signal: L1
Memory: 16M
Size of LCD screen: 240*160mm
Working time: two batteries last 16 hours
2. Static relevant accuracy:
Static horizontal accuracy: 5mm+1ppm
Static vertical accuracy: 10mm+2ppm
3. Synchronization observation time: about 45 minutes
Note: The time of synchronization observation relates to distance. When the surveying distance
exceeds 20 kilometers, the synchronization observation needs more than two hours. The
observation time is subject to the accuracy required, the higher of the accuracy, the longer it will
take and vice versa. Furthermore, the observation time also relates to the satellites distributing, for
example, the time will be shorter when surveying at night. (Because the ionosphere infection will
be weaker at night )

Chapter II 9600 GPS Surveying System Operation
2.1 Working mode of 9600 receiver
GPS working mode is the working measure adopted to ensure the relative position between
observation stations by use of GPS orientation technology. Different working mode has different
working measure and different time interval of observation. Polaris 9600 GPS surveying system is
mainly used in control survey, which adopts static carrier wave relative orientation mode.
2.2 Graph design of net
The net design mainly subject to the users' requirement, but outlay, time interval of
observation, type of receiver and the receiver amount, etc also relate to the net design.
In order to satisfy the users' requirement, we should keep the principle as follows:
1. GPS net normally forms closed graph by independent observation borders, such as triangle,
polygon or connecting traverse, etc, to add checking conditions and to improve the net
consistency.
2. When designing the net, the net point should be superposition with the original ground net
points. The superposition points are generally no less than three and distribute evenly on the net in
order to ensure the changing parameters between GPS net and local net.
3. GPS net point should be superposition with the level points, and the other points are
normally united--surveyed with level surveying way or the equivalent way. You can also set some
level united--surveying points in order to offer geoid's information.
4. In order to observe and level united survey, we often set GPS net points at a clear and easy
arriving field.
5. We often distribute some well eyeshot azimuth points around GPS net to ensure united
survey direction. The distance from azimuth to observation station should be more than 300
meters.
According to different purpose of GPS surveying, independent observation borders of GPS
net should compose definite geometry graph. The basic graphs are as follows:
1. Triangle net
The triangle in GPS net is composed of independent observation borders, it has strong
geometry structure and well self-checking ability, it can also find out the coarse difference of
result and to share the difference to each baseline with adjustment.
But this net needs a lot of observation, especially when receivers are lacking it will greatly
prolong the observation time. So only when accuracy and security are required very high, and
receivers are more than three, we can use this graph, see fig 2-2.
2. Circle net
Circle net is composed of many loops which are formed of many independent observation
borders. This net is similar with one of the classical surveying-- lead net. Its structure is a little
worse than triangle net. The amount of baselines in closed loop decides the self--checking ability
and consistency. General speaking, the amount of baselines has such limit as follows:
The advantage of circle net is the small workload, good self-checking and consistency. But
the main disadvantage is that the accuracy of indirect-observed border is lower than that of
direct-observed border, and the baseline accuracy of neighbor points distributes unevenly. In field
9600 surveying system

Chapter II 9600 GPS Surveying System Operation
survey, we usually use annexed traverse as special example according to practical situation and the
net usage. This requirement for this traverse is the high accuracy for the known vectors between
two point ends. Furthermore, the amount of annexed traverses cannot exceed the limits.
Fig 2-2 triangle net Fig 2-3 circle net
3. Star shape net
Star net has simple geometry graph, but the baselines of it mostly don't compose a closed
graph, so it has a bad checking ability and consistency.
The advantage of this net is that it only needs two receivers, the work is very simple, so it is
mostly used in the quick surveying as quick static orientation and kinematic orientation. This
working mode is widely used in project layout, border surveying and GIS surveying, etc.
Fig 2-4 star net
2.3 Length of baseline
The accuracy of satellite signal received with GPS receiver can reach millimeter level, but
due to the signal suffers ionosphere and troposphere infection when transmitting through
aerosphere, the accuracy will be depressed. To settle this problem, we adopt adjustment by use of
two receivers to observe one baseline at the same time, thus the influence of ionosphere on
observation can be mostly counteracted. The shorter of baseline, the better is the effect, so we
suggest baseline is not more than 20 kilometers when designing.
2.4 install receiver
Steps of receiver installation:
1. You can mount a tripod on a selected point. Please make sure the surrounding meet these
conditions: avoid under shade and building, keep away from reflecting things and
electromagnetism interfering, etc.
2. Open the instrument box carefully, take out centering apparatus and base-plate to mount them
on the tripod, center and level base-plate on the surveying point.
6
9600 surveying system
Chapter II 9600 GPS Surveying System Operation
3. Take out receiver, install it on the centering apparatus and lock it tightly.
2.5 How to measure antenna height
After mount the instrument, user should measure antenna once at the beginning and the end
of every period of time, please ensure the accuracy reach mm level. When surveying, we usually
measure from the center point on the ground to the waterproof loop of antenna. That is an inclined
height. Please refer to fig 2-5.
Fig2-5 Measuring antenna height
We use a formula to calculate antenna height.
H = h2 - R2 + h £¨ 2-3£©
0
0
"h" is the inclined height that measure from point on the ground to the waterproof loop of
antenna.
R is the radius of antenna, which is 99mm.
0
h is the distance from antenna phase center to the middle of antenna, which
0
is 13mm.
H is the calculation result. We usually measure antenna height twice and
adopt the average.
Attention: We input the inclined height as the antenna height, which is the
inclined distance from point on the ground to the waterproof loop of antenna.
2.6 Notice of using 9600 receiver
When you use 9600 receiver, please pay attention to the following items.
1. You must operate according to this manual to ensure the required result. For example,
when you select surveying point, you should avoid shade, buildings, interfere fountain and so on.
2. The receiver should not work under low power; otherwise, the data quality cannot be
maintained.
3. When convey the mainframe, please be careful. Please take the cover up and open the box.
before you open the instrument box,
4. Please place 9600 receiver at a dry and safe room, avoid being affected with damp and
impact.
