User Manual for
Locator One

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing our Locator One device. This manual provides detailed instructions for installing, using, and maintaining your device. The Locator One is designed for precise tracking and monitoring, featuring advanced technology and robust construction.
The Locator One uses GNSS and RADAR sensors to monitor both the vertical movement of the original ground level and added sand layers, and measures precise GNSS positioning. It also serves other monitoring purposes such as the movement of bridges, harbor quays, dam walls, and landslides.
With 4mm + 0.5 ppm precision in vertical direction and 2mm +0.5 ppm in the horizontal direction, the Locator One guarantees consistent data and 95% uptime with unobstructed visibility from 10 degrees above the horizon.
The Locator One enhances site safety by reducing the need for human involvement and on-site visits. Additionally, being solar-powered and autonomous, it reduces maintenance rides and CO2 emissions.

Installation Instructions
