Frequently Asked Questions

General

✓ What level of positioning accuracy can I expect from the Alpha 5W RTK? ▾

The Alpha 5W RTK GNSS receiver delivers centimeter-level positioning accuracy in RTK mode, typically achieving horizontal accuracies of ±8mm + 1ppm and vertical accuracies of ±15mm + 1ppm under optimal conditions. This precision makes it ideal for demanding surveying applications requiring the highest accuracy standards.

✓ How does the tilt compensation feature work? ▾

The integrated tilt compensation technology automatically corrects for pole tilt up to 30 degrees, eliminating the need for perfect vertical positioning during measurements. This feature significantly increases productivity by reducing setup time and allows for accurate measurements even in challenging terrain or tight spaces where maintaining a perfectly vertical pole is difficult.

✓ What is the typical battery life and operating duration? ▾

The Alpha 5W RTK features extended battery life with up to 12 hours of continuous operation on a single charge in typical surveying conditions. The high-capacity lithium-ion battery supports extended field sessions, and the unit includes intelligent power management to optimize performance while maximizing operational time for full-day surveying projects.

✓ What environmental conditions can the Alpha 5W RTK withstand? ▾

The Alpha 5W RTK is built for rugged field conditions with IP67 rating for dust and water resistance. It operates reliably in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +65°C and can withstand drops up to 2 meters. The robust housing and sealed design ensure consistent performance in harsh weather conditions including rain, snow, and extreme temperatures.

✓ Which GNSS constellations does the Alpha 5W RTK support? ▾

The Alpha 5W RTK supports all major global navigation satellite systems including GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou constellations. This multi-constellation capability provides enhanced satellite availability, improved positioning reliability, and faster initialization times, particularly beneficial in challenging environments with limited sky visibility such as urban canyons or heavily forested areas.
