1.3 Powering On

Charge the internal battery before first use. Use a PD3.0 USB charger (9-15V), such as the DJI 65W Portable Charger.

1. Connect the charger to the USB-C port on D-RTK 3. The battery level indicator will light up, indicating successful activation. Charge until the indicator displays green.
2. Press and hold the power button to power the D-RTK 3 on/off.

? When using a non-recommended charger (e.g., 5V-output), the product can only be charged after powering off.

1.4 Activation Instructions

The product requires activation before first use. The GNSS signal indicator blinks red when not activated.

• As a base station/relay station: Activate by following prompts in DJI Pilot 2 when connecting to the aircraft and remote controller. Ensure the remote controller is connected to the internet during activation.
• As a rover station or if DJI Pilot 2 does not prompt activation: Download the latest DJI Assistant 2 (Enterprise Series). Connect D-RTK 3 to a computer via USB-C cable, open DJI Assistant 2, and follow activation instructions.

2 Setup

2.1 Environmental Requirements

• Requires a clear field of vision. Ensure no obstructions (trees, buildings) within a 15° angle above the horizontal plane of the antennas to prevent GNSS signal absorption or blockage.
• Use in an open, radio interference-free environment. Avoid wireless devices using the same frequency bands.
• Setup location should be at least 200m from high-power radio emission sources (e.g., television, microwave stations) and at least 50m from high voltage transmission lines to avoid electromagnetic interference.
• Locate away from large bodies of water or objects that strongly interfere with satellite signal reception to reduce multipath effects.

2.2 Notices

• DO NOT bend or fold the cable excessively during installation.
• During installation and placement, ensure the top side of the D-RTK 3 is level with the horizontal surface.
• DO NOT attempt to disassemble any part already mounted prior to shipping.

2.3 Setup Steps

Base Station/Relay Station

Use the Survey Pole and Tripod kit (sold separately). Choose an open, unobstructed environment. Ensure the tripod is stable. (See Diagram A)

DO NOT change the tripod or D-RTK 3 position/angle after leveling; otherwise, readjustment is required.

Rover Station

Use the survey pole. Download and install the DJI Enterprise App. (See Diagram B)

Diagram A: Base Station/Relay Station Setup Steps

The diagram illustrates mounting the D-RTK 3 onto a survey pole and then onto a tripod. Steps involve attaching the pole to the tripod, securing the D-RTK 3 to the pole, and ensuring stability.

Diagram B: Rover Station Setup Steps

The diagram shows using a survey pole with the D-RTK 3 and indicates downloading the DJI Enterprise app.

3 Usage

3.1 Notices

• Use the product within its corresponding frequency band and in accordance with local laws and regulations.
• DO NOT obstruct any antennas during use.
• Use only genuine or officially authorized parts. Unauthorized parts may cause malfunction and compromise safety.
• Ensure no foreign matter (water, oil, soil, sand) is inside the product.
• Handle sharp ends of the survey pole and tripod with caution.
• When using the survey pole and tripod for installation, be mindful of the surrounding environment to prevent toppling or electrical hazards.
• In rainy or snowy weather, take necessary water-resistant measures. Use with caution and pay attention to lightning protection.
• The product contains precision parts; avoid collision to prevent damage.
• After transportation, the survey pole's level bubble may be offset and can be re-leveled using the bottom screw.

3.2 Power Button

Press and hold the power button to power the product on/off. Press the power button three times to switch operating modes.

• Rover Station: Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds to enter linking status.
• Base Station: Press and hold the power button for 8 seconds to reset the password.

? If the power button is pressed before the product has finished powering on/off, it may not respond. Wait at least 5 seconds and try again.

3.3 Indicators

Battery Level Indicator

? When the battery is low, the buzzer emits continuous beeping. During charging, the indicator blinks quickly if charging power is sufficient and slowly if insufficient.

Mode Indicator

[1] Solid on: Connected to both remote controller and aircraft. Blinks: Unlinked or connected to one device only.

GNSS Signal Indicator

[1] Blinks Slowly: Device inactivated.

Others

3.4 Operating Modes

• Base Station Mode: Provides centimeter-level positioning data to improve operation precision for multiple compatible aircraft simultaneously.
• Relay Station Mode: Connects to a specified compatible aircraft and remote controller, installed at a high place to act as a communication relay, avoiding signal blockage during operation.
• Rover Station Mode: Used as a hand-held mapping device for control point/checkpoint measurements.

It is recommended to watch the tutorial video for usage information: https://enterprise.dji.com/d-rtk-3/video

⚠️ When installing and elevating the product, be mindful of the surrounding environment to prevent toppling or electrical hazards.

? When using the rover station, ensure the survey pole height setting in the DJI Enterprise App matches the actual height.

? When using the base station, rename the product and reset the password in the Precise Positioning Setting within DJI Pilot 2.

3.5 Exporting and Processing Data

Base Station/Relay Station

1. Raw satellite observation data is recorded in DAT format files, following the RTCM3.2 protocol, and stored internally.
2. Power on the device and connect it to a computer using a USB-C cable.
3. Export the raw satellite observation data.
4. Import data into DJI Terra for local PPK processing. Refer to the DJI Terra user manual for details.

? Use DJI Terra version 4.4 or later. Third-party decoding tools can convert DAT files to RINEX or other formats for PPK processing.

Rover Station

After completing a task, export the task report from the task library in the DJI Enterprise App. Supported formats include JSON for DJI Terra (mark file) and CSV (UTF-8) for checkpoint files.

• Mark File: In DJI Terra, use GCP Management > Import Mark File to import GCP points. DJI Terra will automatically recognize GCP types, mark errors, and perform result checks and accuracy optimization.
• Checkpoint File: Import to third-party mapping tools for accuracy checks.
