The following instructions relate to the PointMan mapping app. You will need a valid subscription* in order to use the app, which can be purchased from Radiodetection.

The RD8200SG is fitted with multiple Bluetooth modules.

You need to connect to 2 Bluetooth modules to enable survey grade accuracy and send Survey Measurements to your compatible iOS device.

Article's Content:

  1. GNSS Bluetooth module. This Bluetooth module enables survey grade accuracy.
  2. Locator Bluetooth module. This Bluetooth module allows you to send locator Survey Measurements to compatible iOS devices.

Pairing the GNSS and Locator Bluetooth modules

The GNSS Bluetooth module is always on and does not need to be enabled in the locator.

NOTE: Pairing of the GNSS must be carried out through the app and not through the phone BT settings.

On your RD8200SG locator:

1. Switch on the RD8200SG locator.

 

2. Press again to enter the MENU

 

3. Press the 'Down' arrow key to navigate to the PHONE menu

 

4. Press the 'Antenna key' to enter the PHONE menu and select IOS

 

5. Press the 'F' key to confirm your choice and to return to the main locate screen. 

On your iOS device

1. Open the Pointman app and log in.

2. Enter the Menu (top left) and select Settings

3. In Devices, select Configure Btle

4. Select Scan

5. The GNSS Bluetooth will present itself as RTK-LE-SG-XXXXXX,

and the Locator Bluetooth as RDRX-82SG-XXXXXX

6. Highlight both devices, select Add and press OK, followed by Close.

 

NOTE: If the GNSS Bluetooth module is not advertising, you can reset the Bluetooth module via

MENU > GPS > RTK > RESET.

To enable survey grade accuracy, Bluetooth pairing to both the locator and GNSS antenna is required.
