How to Install RTK Reference Station

Choose a Location

To optimize the performance of the RTK system, the RTK reference station must be in an open area to receive satellite signals. You can install the RTK reference station on flat, open ground or on an unobstructed wall or roof. In general, if your lawn is L-shaped, you can place the RTK reference station on a wall or roof or on the ground; if your lawn is O-shaped or U-shaped, or if you have multiple lawns, we recommend that you place the RTK reference station on a wall or roof.


The location requirements are as follows: 
  1. The RTK reference station should be oriented vertically, as shown below:
  1. Place the RTK reference station on a flat, open ground or on an unobstructed wall or roof. Make sure there are no roofs or trees that may obstruct the satellite signals.
  2. DO NOT install the RTK reference station at the corner of an L-shaped building or on a narrow path between two structures or under a tree.
