Chapter Ⅰ Preface
Read this chapter, you will have a brief knowledge of KOLIDA Company and K30
measurement system.

§1.1 Introduction

Welcome to KOLIDA Surveying Instruments Co., Ltd, which is China’s leading manufacturer
of surveying equipment including GNSS receivers and Total Stations. To know more about
KOLIDA, please visit our official website http://www.kolidainstrument.com/

This manual takes K30 positioning system for example, to explain how to install, set up and uses
the RTK system as well as the use of the accessories. We recommend that you read these
instructions carefully before using the instrument.

§1.2 Applications

§1.3 Main Features

All Constellations and More Channels

With 1598 channels, K30 is capable to track signal from 5 satellite constellations , process signal
of up to 16 frequencies and provide stable and reliable accuracy.

More Powerful and More Durable

Thanks to the 3W Farlink radio, when it works as an UHF base station K30 is able to

transmit correction data farther than others, in optimal condition the working range

can be 10 to 15 km.The shock-resistant frame, water-proof frame all have been enhanced, now
the overall proof level is IP68.

Superior Endurance, Up to 25 hours working

The newly developed power management system allows K30 to work for 10 to 25

hours and can be recharged by a type-C connector.

Color Touch Screen, Makes Workflow Simpler

Users can operate K30 by touch screen and key buttons, easy and fast.

RTK-Keep

When K30 loses the RTK correction data source from base station, this function will

help receiver to maintain the precise position for a few minutes.

L-band Correction, 4-10cm PPP

K30 is able to receive B2b signal via L-band, and perform a single point positioning.

It is a great help to surveyors who work in particularly difficult areas. This service is

available in 2022 from Asian-Pacific region.

Status: This field will display the status of NTRIP connection, connect or disconnect.
Active: Check on this circle to activate this function.
Authentication Mode: This includes Eagle Mode, TCP/IP Mode and LARK Mode.
1 Eagle Mode is KOLIDA standard mode, usually, this mode is used on the case of both Base
and Rover are using network mode.
2 TCP/IP Mode is for private network use.
3 LARK Mode, which is a new technology on network use, it is similar to GSM dial. This
mode no longer rely on a CORS server that the corrections are transmitted by GPRS
network. Besides, it is different from the feature of Caster.

The other fields are the standard configuration for NTRIP connection, IP, port, username and
password, after this information is input into the corresponding field, click on Get Point button
to download the source table from server, then choose a proper mountpoint to access.

Ntrip Server
This configuration is used in Base+network mode that Base station will transfer its correction
onto the server as long as it connects to internet, then Rover can download the base’s correction
from server for use. Or use the LARK mode.
Ntrip Version: This field provides NTRIPv1.0 and NTRIPv2.0 for optional.
Access Point: This field is allowed to user-defined the correction format which base will
transfer to the server, such as HHHH_RTCM30

NtripCaster
This feature is finally realized on K30 the receiver is equivalent to a CORS system that it
generates and broadcasts the user-defined correction for rover if K30 connects a static IP
address.
Port: This is the specify port for the access.
Access Point: This is mountpoint which can be user-defined.

Radio Parameter
This page is mainly used to configure the parameters for internal radio module of K30.

Air Baud Rate: This represents the data transmission rate in the air of internal radio, the higher
value, the bigger of data size transmitted per second, usually keep the default setting.
Data Baud Rate: The data baud rate of KOLIDA radio module has been unified to be 115200,
keep it as default.
Channel: This is the communication channels for internal UHF, the value of the channel must
be the same both in Base and Rover.
Power: This appears only in Base mode, the radio transmitting power is allowed to define in
High, Middle or Low power.
Protocol: This is radio communication protocol for data transmission, FarLink ，
SOUTH(KOLIDA) and TRIMTALK are optional in this page. If it is changed, Base and Rover
must use the same protocol for communication.
Factory Default: Click this button to restore the factory default for internal UHF module.

Radio Frequency
For K30, the powerful internal radio module supports much more radio channels apply to the
legal frequency in different countries or areas.
