Introduction
This chapter introduces the GNSS/DGNSS Receiver and gives an overview
of the system and services. It has the following sections:
• Introduction to GNSS and DGNSS
• The GNSS or DGNSS system
• System components

Introduction to GNSS and DGNSS

Overview
A GNSS receiver processes the signals transmitted by the satellites of Global
Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). The GNSS receiver determines the
position, velocity, and precise time by processing the signals broadcast by
GNSS satellites.
A DGNSS receiver (Differential GNSS) is an enhancement to a GNSS
receiver. It can utilize a global network of ground-based reference stations
for improved position accuracy. The ground-based reference stations
compare their known fixed positions with the positions calculated from the
received GNSS satellite signals. The differences are transmitted via radio
beacons to the DGNSS Receiver, which can use them to calculate a more
precise position. In order to be able to apply high-quality corrections, the
selected reference station must be near the DGNSS receiver to ensure that
they both observe roughly the same GNSS satellites.

Chapter 1: Introduction

The GNSS or DGNSS system

The GNSS/DGNSS Receiver is available in variants as listed in table 1.

GNSS Receiver variant and the SAILOR 6286 DGNSS Antenna - Active gives
a DGNSS Receiver variant.
Both variants can be controlled by the SAILOR 6004 Control Panel. The
Control Panel is connected to the GNSS/DGNSS Receiver through a LAN
connection.

Alert and notification management

Operation
Alert management is handled by the Control Panel. Note that the following
description is a general description of alerts and notification.
Note The GNSS/DGNSS Receiver reports alerts of the type warning or
caution.

Introduction to alerts and notifications

Alerts are reported and indicated by icons in the bottom bar of the Control
Panel display. An alert is presented together with its alert text. An alert can
be of the type alarm, warning or caution. If an alarm is not acknowledged
the audible alarm signal (3 beeps) is repeated every seventh second until it
is acknowledged. If a warning is not acknowledged the audible warning
signal (2 beeps) is repeated every minute until it is acknowledged. The
audible warning signal also disappears if the condition is rectified.
The alert list is prioritized. The most important alert is an alarm, then
warning and finally caution. The most important active alerts move to the
top of the list, after that the alerts with the same importance are sorted by
activation time.
You can display the current list of active, unacknowledged alerts and
notifications by tapping the lower right corner of the Control Panel display
where the alert indication and UTC time is displayed.

Service & maintenance

Maintenance
Maintenance of the GNSS/DGNSS Receiver and antennas can be reduced to
a maintenance check at each visit of the service staff. Inspect the unit for
mechanical damages, salt deposits, corrosion and any foreign material. Due
to its robust construction and ruggedness the unit has a long lifetime.
Anyway it must carefully be checked at intervals not longer than 12 months
– dependent on the current working conditions.

Contact for support

Contact an authorized dealer for technical service and support of the
GNSS/DGNSS Receiver and antennas. Before contacting the authorized
dealer you can go through the troubleshooting guide to solve some of the
most common operational problems.
