Safety Warnings
GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) receivers are electronic devices that use signals
from satellites to determine location, speed, and time. While GNSS receivers are generally
safe to use, there are some safety considerations that users should keep in mind:

Do not rely solely on GNSS for navigation: GNSS signals can be disrupted by various factors
such as tall buildings, trees, and bad weather. It is important to use other navigation aids such
as maps, compasses, and visual landmarks.

Keep GNSS receivers away from other electronic devices: Electronic devices such as mobile
phones, radios, and computers can emit electromagnetic interference (EMI) that can disrupt
GNSS signals. Keep GNSS receivers away from such devices to avoid EMI.

Do not tamper with GNSS receivers: Tampering with GNSS receivers or modifying their
software can cause them to malfunction or produce inaccurate readings. Only use GNSS
receivers that are certified and authorized for use.

Follow manufacturer instructions: Follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding the

safe use and handling of GNSS receivers. This includes instructions for charging, cleaning,
and storing the device.

Dispose of GNSS receivers properly: When disposing of GNSS receivers, follow local
regulations for electronic waste disposal to avoid harming the environment.

It is important to use GNSS receivers safely to avoid accidents or injury. If you experience
any issues or concerns with your GNSS receiver, contact the manufacturer or a qualified

 Introduction

1. Introduction
The i76 GNSS Receiver User Guide describes how to set up and use the CHCNAV® i76 GNSS
receiver. In this manual, “the receiver” refers to the i76 GNSS receiver unless otherwise stated.
Even if you have used other Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) products before,
CHCNAV recommends that you spend some time reading this manual to learn about the
special features of this product. If you are not familiar with GNSS, go to www.chcnav.com for
an interactive look at CHCNAV and GNSS.

1.1 Safety Information

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 data link. 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 i76 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.

1.2.1 Use and Care

This receiver is designed to withstand the rough environment that typically occurs in the
field. However, the receiver is high-precision electronic equipment and should be treated with
reasonable care.

2.6 Downloading Logged Data

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 CHC Geomatics Office (CGO) Software.

2.6.1 USB Download

The procedures of downloading logged data in the receiver are as follows:

1．Switch on the receiver and connect it with a computer by HCE600 Type-C. After the
successful connection, a removable disk named as the Serial Number (SN) of the receiver will
appear on the computer.

2．Double click the removable disk and you will see the folder named as “repo”.

3．Double click this folder, 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.

CHCNAV i76 GNSS USER GUIDE | 2024-05 P a g e | 13

 Getting Started with i76

4．Double click the folder that you have configured to store the static data, you will see
the folder(s) created by the i76 system automatically and named by the date which is decide
by GPS time when you start to log data.

5．Select the destination folder and double click it, and then two folders named as different
data format (hcn and rinex) will be displayed.

6．Select the data format that you have configured to save the static data, you will find the
static raw data.

Tip - For HCN files, the name of the file is represented as XXXXXXXD DD NN, where XXXXXXX
is the SN of the receiver, D DD is day of year, and NN is the recording session.
WARNING – The static data will be saved in 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.

3.3 Working with the Tilt Compensation

The auto-IMU need to be calibrated at the first time when users get a new i76 GNSS
receiver. After initializing the sensor successfully, the i76 GNSS receiver will record the
calibration parameters, and the user do not need to calibrate it manually any more.

After enable the tilt survey, the i76 IMU can be ready after a few steps walk or a bit
movement automatically.

3.3.1 Operation Steps for first IMU initialization

1．Open LandStar-> Tap Survey-> Tap to activate tilt measurement.

2．Hold the pole vertical for a while and shake according to the procedures in the
interface to do initialization.

alignment” at the bottom 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.
