1. Introduction
This is the user manual for survey E600H/E600N/E600T GNSS receiver. It gives basic
description and operation guide which may help user to operate device properly.

1.1 Appearance
The E600 main body is designed with magnesium alloy material to provide durable
usage and better heat dispersion as well as light weight 1.3Kg (dual batteries inside).
The dual battery slot design makes it possible to replace battery without interrupting
the working.

1.2 Indicator
Working status is viewable through the indicators. The meaning of each indicator:

Indicator Color Meaning

Satellite Red and Green • Off: no receiving satellites
• Flash red: receiving satellites but no
solution status
• Flash green: have solution but not fixed
• Solid green: fixed solution
• Flash red and green alternately: mainboard
abnormal
Data link Green and Blue • Solid green: datalink is ready to start
• Flash green: datalink is transmitting data
normally
 E600 User Manual
• Flash Blue: when raw data recording is
enabled, the LED will flash according to the
interval
Battery Green and Red • Solid green: battery level between
30%~100%
• Flash green: battery level between
10%~30%
• Flash red: battery level below 10%
Bluetooth Blue • Off: no Bluetooth connection
• Solid blue: has Bluetooth connection

1.3 Interface
E600 GNSS receive bottom interface is shown as below. There are two battery slots.
Micro SIM card and TF card can be installed from slot A. The 7-pin port can be
connected to 7-pin cable for data downloading and NMEA output. 5-pin port is used
to connect external radio and external power. The TNC port is for internal radio.

2. Web User Interface
User can connect to receiver WIFI hotspot with PC, smart phone or tablet. The hotspot
name is the device serial number, can be found under the bottom of the device label.
Open web browser and input the IP address “192.168.10.1”. The default user name is
“admin”, password is “password”. From the website, user can manage working status,
change working mode, configurate basic settings, download raw data, update
firmware and register device.

2.1 Position
View basic position information, satellite number, PDOP and time. In static mode, can
start and stop recording here.

2.2 Satellites
View satellite list and satellite map, set cut-off angle.
 E600 User Manual
2.3 Information
View receiver information: firmware version, GNSS board, radio and network module.

2.4 Working Mode

Configurate working mode: base, rover or static.

2.5 Satellite Setting

Configurate the satellites to be used. “RTK Timeout” setting is for aRTK service (With
Hemisphere L-Band service, user cans still keep high accuracy for a period when
correction data loses). “Surefix” is hemisphere technology to increase the reliability
of the fixed solution. Which means it will be much more difficult to get fixed solution
in tough environment.
 E600 User Manual
2.6 Device Configuration
Configurate receiver settings: User can set time zone. Direct link mode is used for
debug. Sensor means e-bubble data output. Also, the 7-pin port baud rate is
changeable. Smart voice broadcast can be disabled. When TF card is insert, can select
static data prior storage. When external power is connected, can also choose to power
on receiver automatically. When network is enabled, the network module will be
activated even in radio working mode. This is helpful for fast initializing the network
module, but also increase the power consumption. When SIM card is insert and “WIFI
share network” is enabled, PC can surf the internet when connected to device hotspot
by using SIM data. “Cloud service” and “Track back” is used for uploading position
information to cloud/TCP server.

2.7 NMEA Message

Configurate NMEA data output through Bluetooth or 7-pin port.
 E600 User Manual
2.8 View Logs
The log files can be used to diagnose issues. Click “download” to download the files.

2.9 Raw Data

Download raw data or convert data to RINEX format. User can use check box, then
click “Package” to download multiple files.

2.10 Backup Data

The points collected in SurPad4.0 will be backup in receiver storage automatically to
avoid data loss. Can restore the data to SurPad software.
 E600 User Manual
2.11 Management
User can update receiver and GNSS firmware as well as register device, format
internal disk, restore factory setting, restart device. To update the firmware, click
“Chose File” to import the firmware, then click “Upload File” to start updating.

3. Basic Operation
This part shows user some basic operations to start working with E600.

3.1 Insert SIM and TF card

E600 supports external TF card expansion up to 32 GB for static data storage. Micro
SIM card can be used for network working mode. Open battery cover “A” and insert
TF card or SIM card.

3.2 Insert and remove battery

Insert battery and slide as the arrow in below picture to lock it. Then, lock the battery
cover. It is suggested to remove battery if the receiver is not in use for a long time.
 E600 User Manual
3.3 Charge the battery
E600 charger can charge two batteries at the same time. Fully charge the battery will
take 4 hours typically. Press the button on the battery to view current battery level
(each indicator means 25% battery power). The charging indicator is red when
charging, will turn green when fully charged.

3.4 Insert radio antenna

The antenna is required in radio working mode.

3.5 Measure antenna height

In order to get correct elevation value, we need to know the correct phase center
height of the receiver. However, it is almost not possible to measure the phase center
directly. Normally, the software will read the receiver antenna offset parameters.
Once user input the measurement height, software will calculate the phase center
height automatically. Typically, there are two ways to measure the height:

A: Slant height (to measurement line)

• Centering and leveling the tripod on known point, then measure slant height from
the ground point to the arrow at the side of the receiver.
B: Pole height (straight height to device bottom)
• Read the straight pole height

A: Slant height Measurement Line B: Pole height

3.6 E-bubble Calibration
E600 is equipped with e-bubble sensor which supports tilt survey in SurPad4.0
software. To calibrate the e-bubble, put the device on flat table or pole (ensure the
bubble on the pole is normal before calibration, then centering the pole bubble). In
SurPad4.0 software, connect device and click “Device” -> “Device Settings”, open “E-
Bubble” function. Then, go to “Device” -> “Calibrate Sensor”, click “Calibrate” to
calibrate the e-bubble.

To use tilt survey function, go to “Survey” -> “Point Survey” page, select “Tilt Point”.
Then click survey button to start data collection. After collect three points on the same
location, the software will calculate a final result.
