Safety Warnings
The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) comprises several distinct satellite
constellations, each of which is under the jurisdiction of a specific government entity.
These entities bear the sole responsibility for ensuring the accuracy of their respective
systems and for maintaining the integrity of their satellite networks.
Do not rely solely on the device for critical navigation decisions. The GNSS signals may
be affected by atmospheric conditions, satellite availability, signal blockage, etc.
Be aware of the limitations of GNSS accuracy. It provides positioning information with a
certain level of accuracy, but errors (including manual error) and deviations can occur.
Avoid prolonged exposure to strong magnetic fields, as they may interfere with the
operation of the device and affect its accuracy.
Do not dismantle or modify the device. Any unauthorized modification may result in
malfunction or damage and void the warranty.
Follow all instructions provided in the user manual for proper handling, charging, and
maintenance.

1.1 Safety Information
Warnings and Cautions
An absence of specific alerts does not mean that there are no safety risks involved.
A Warning or Caution information is intended to minimize the risk of personal injury
and/or damage to the equipment.
WARNING - A Warning alerts you to a potential misused or wrong setting of the
equipment.
CAUTION - A Caution alerts you to a possible risk of serious injury to your
person and/or damage to the equipment.
1.2 Regulations and Safety
The receivers contain a built-in wireless modem for signal communication through
Bluetooth® wireless technology or through external communication datalink.
Regulations regarding the use of the wireless modem vary greatly from country to
country. In some countries, the unit can be used without obtaining an end-user
license. However, in some countries, the administrative permissions are required. For
license information, consult your local dealer. Bluetooth® operates in license-free
bands.
Before operating a N30 GNSS receiver, determine if authorization or a license to
operate the unit is required in your country. It is the responsibility of the end-user to
obtain an operator's permit or license for the receiver for the location or country of
use.

Data logging involves the collection of GNSS measurement data over a period at a
static point or points, and subsequent post-processing of the information to
accurately compute baseline information. Data logging using receivers requires
access to suitable GNSS post-processing software such as the eOffice Software.
2.7.1 FTP Download
The procedures of downloading logged data through FTP are as follows:
(1) Switch on the receiver, search its Wi-Fi in the computer and connect.
(2) After the successful connection, open the file manager in the computer and input
“ftp://192.168.1.1” in the address box.
(3) Input user name and password, the default user name and password are “ftp”.

(4) Double click the folder “repo_receiver SN” (take 3225804 as example), you will
see 2 folders. The “push_log” folder is used to save the log files, and the "record_1"
folders are used for store static data.
(5) Double click the folder that you have configured to store the static data, you will
see the folder(s) created by the N30 system automatically and named by the date
which is decide by GPS time when you start to log data.

Notes: For ecn files, the name of the file is represented as XXXXXXDDDNN, where
XXXXXX is the SN of the receiver, DDD is day of year, and NN is the recording session.
WARNING – The static data will be saved in the first logging session, the
“record_1” folder, by default. Old files will be deleted if the storage space is
full. If you configure not to auto delete old files when the memory is low,
the receiver will stop data logging.
2.7.2 USB Download

3.3 Working with the Tilt Compensation
N30 use 200 Hz AUTO-IMU, automatic pole tilt compensation for automatic inertial
navigation initialization, and the user do not need to calibrate it manually any more.
After enable the tilt survey, the N30 IMU can be ready after a few steps walk or a bit
movement automatically.
3.3.1 Operation Steps
(1) Open Landstar-> Tap PT Survey-> Tap to activate tilt measurement.
(2) Shake around according to the procedures in the interface to do initialization.
(3) This icon will appear when the initialization is successful.
Farnav N30 GNSS USER GUIDE
| 2025-10 P a g e | 23
(4) Enter the Name and Antenna, then tap point will be collected and store to
Points automatically.
(5) When this icon appears, the text will show “*IMU is invalid. Need to
reinitialize it.” at the top of interface.
(6) Tap to close tilt compensation.
3.3.2 Notes of using tilt measurement
1. At the beginning of initialization, the pole height of the instrument should be the
same as that antenna height in the software.
2. In the process of tilt measurement, if the controller shows that “Tilt is not
available, please measure in alignment” (red), please shake RTK slightly from left to
right or back to front until the reminder disappears.
3. The controller will prompt “Tilt is not available, please measure in alignment”
when the receiver is stationary over 30 seconds or the pole hit the ground toughly.
4. The pole cannot be shaken when point is collected.
5. Initialization is required:
when the RTK is turned on every time;
when IMU module is turned on every time;
when receiver drops at working;
when the pole is tilted more than 65 degree;
when the receiver is stationary more than 10 minutes;
when the RTK rotates too fast on the matching pole (2 rounds per second);
when the pole hit the ground toughly.
