Before performing Self-Position using Network RTK, you must configure Network RTK account settings.


To use Network RTK, you will need to set your NTRIP account “NTRIP Not Included with your Edge” in “Settings”

  1. Place EdgeBox on site on a tripod or fixed 5/8 thread bolt.

The main unit should be fixed securely.

Unsecure installation may incur data inaccuracy, error or failure and damage to the Edge.

Follow GNSS best practice & place the Edge in a open space with a clear view of the sky

  1. Launch the tablet app image-20240615-044150.png  and select a project of the work site to survey.

If the project is not listed, create a new project.

If you have set the EdgeBox on one of these points, you can just tap it to select it. (If not, go to 4.)

  1. Tap “ Add Base station Points” to Self-Position OR you can import with a CSV file.
