Safety Information
Safety Information
Before you use your Trimble product, make sure that you have read and understood all safety requirements.
WARNING – This alert warns of a potential hazard which, if not avoided, could result in severe injury or even death.
CAUTION – This alert warns of a potential hazard or unsafe practice that could result in minor injury or property damage or irretrievable data loss.
Note – An absence of specific alerts does not mean that there are no safety risks involved.
Use and care
This product is is a high-precision electronic instrument and should be treated with reasonable care.
CAUTION – Operating or storing the receiver outside the specified temperature range can damage it.
Using an external antenna
WARNING – Antennas are excellent conductors of electricity, so use extreme caution when operating near power lines and other sources of electric current or during stormy weather.
Exposure to radio frequency radiation from Bluetooth transmitters
This device is approved as a portable device with respect to Radio Frequency (RF) exposure compliance. The radiated output power of the internal wireless radio transmitters is less than 100 milliwatt, which results in exposure levels far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits, even when operated in close proximity to the body. The internal wireless radios operate within guidelines found in international radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, which reflect the consensus of the international scientific community. Trimble therefore believes the internal wireless radios are safe for use by users. The level of electromagnetic energy emitted is hundreds of times lower than the electromagnetic energy emitted by wireless devices such as mobile phones.
However, the use of wireless radios may be restricted in some situations or environments, such as on aircraft. If you are unsure of restrictions, you are encouraged to ask for authorization before turning on the wireless radios.

Android versions 4.1x and later iOS l l
Windows® 7 and Windows 8.x
Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5
Supported constellations
The PG200 GNSS receiver supports the following L1 constellations: l l l
GPS L1 C/A
GLONASS L1 C/A (G1)
Galileo E1 l l
BeiDou B1
QZSS L1 C/A
Supported correction sources
The PG200 GNSS receiver supports the following correction signals: l l
SBAS (WAAAS / EGNOS / MSAS / GAGAN, SDCM)

Using the receiver with GIS software on Windows
Embedded Handheld and Windows devices
Using Trimble software
If you are using Trimble GIS software (for example, TerraSync software, Trimble Positions software, or the GPS Pathfinder Field toolkit) on devices powered by the Windows Embedded Handheld or
Windows Desktop operating systems, you do not need to install the GNSS Status utility, unless you want to install an option (subscription service) that you have purchased (see
). You can connect to the PG200 GNSS receiver from within the software when the receiver is in Bluetooth pairing mode, as with other Trimble GIS external receivers.
Using other software with NMEA
When using software that understands NMEA for position information, you must use the GNSS
Status utility to configure the receiver to output NMEA on the correct port. Because the receiver uses Serial Port Profile (SPP) ports, and software run on a Windows device uses Windows COM ports, it is important to understand the relationship between Bluetooth Serial Port Profile ports and
Windows COM ports, as described below.
Understanding the relationship between Bluetooth Serial Port Profile (SPP) ports and Windows COM ports
Note – This process is specific to the Windows 7 operating system; instructions are similar for
Windows 8 / 8.1 and Windows 10 operating systems.
Trimble PG200 GNSS Receiver User Guide 16
2 Using the PG200 GNSS receiver
When you first connect a PG200 receiver, the Windows operating system installs the appropriate drivers and associates Bluetooth Serial Port Profile (SPP) ports with Windows COM ports. The receiver is listed in the Bluetooth Devices screen:
To see which Windows COM ports are associated with the device SPP ports, right-click on the device and select Properties . Then select the Services tab.
Applications that run on Windows devices (for example, the Trimble TerraFlex software) will see, in this example, COM6, COM9, COM10 and COM17. COM17 is the GNSS Server SPP port; it should
NOT be selected for use by applications as it is used to supply positions to Location Services on the device. The GNSS Server port will reset to a default configuration each time it is connected, irrespective of any changes you make.
Note – Different installations will result in different Windows COM port assignments.
Trimble PG200 GNSS Receiver User Guide 17
2 Using the PG200 GNSS receiver
The application you are using to collect data will have a configuration screen that will include options such as:
In this example, the COM9 Windows COM port is selected, which corresponds to SPP2 on the receiver.

Battery indicator for PG200 GNSS receiver shows empty on an iOS device
On an iOS device, the small battery level indicator at the top of the status bar shows empty in error.
Cause: This is an iOS issue which has been logged with Apple.
Solution: Use the GNSS Status utility to view the battery status. See
GNSS Status utility, page 21 .
PG200 GNSS receiver firmware upgrade
When you upgrade the firmware on a PG200 GNSS receiver, and it was previously paired with an iOS device, you cannot reconnect.
Cause: The iOS device no longer recognises the PG200 GNSS receiver when the firmware is upgraded on the receiver.
Solution: Before you can reconnect your iOS device with a previously connected PG200
GNSS receiver, you must 'forget' the connection on the iOS device:
1. Go to Settings / Bluetooth , and tap the Info button next to the PG200 [serial number] device you want to forget.
2. Tap Forget this device .

GNSS the process of correcting GNSS data as you collect it. Corrections are calculated at a base station and then sent to the receiver through a radio link. As the rover receives the position it applies the corrections to give you a very accurate position in the field.
Most real-time differential correction methods apply corrections to code phase positions.

VRS
While DGNSS is a generic term, its common interpretation is that it entails the use of single-frequency code phase data sent from a GNSS base station to a rover GNSS receiver to provide sub-meter position accuracy. The rover receiver can be at a long range (greater than 100 kms (62 miles)) from the base station.

Virtual Reference Station. A VRS system consists of GNSS hardware, software, and communication links. It uses data from a network of base stations to provide corrections to each rover that are more accurate than corrections from a single base station.
WAAS
To start using VRS corrections, the rover sends its position to the VRS server. The VRS server uses the base station data to model systematic errors (such as ionospheric noise) at the rover position. It then sends RTCM correction messages back to the rover.
Wide Area Augmentation System. WAAS was established by the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) for flight and approach navigation for civil aviation. WAAS improves the accuracy and availability of the basic GNSS signals over its coverage area, which includes the continental United States and outlying parts of Canada and Mexico.
The WAAS system provides correction data for visible satellites. Corrections are computed from ground station observations and then uploaded to two geostationary satellites. This data is then broadcast on the L1 frequency, and is tracked using a channel on the GNSS receiver, exactly like a GNSS satellite.
Use WAAS when other correction sources are unavailable, to obtain greater accuracy than autonomous positions. For more information on WAAS, refer to the FAA website at http://gps.faa.gov
