1 Precision and reliability may be subject to anomalies due to multipath, obstructions, satellite geometry, and
atmospheric conditions. The specifications stated recommend the use of stable mounts in an open sky
view, EMI and multipath clean environment, optimal GNSS constellation configurations, along with the use
of survey practices that are generally accepted for performing the highest-order surveys for the applicable
application including occupation times appropriate for baseline length. Baselines longer than 30 km
require precise ephemeris and occupations up to 24 hours may be required to achieve the high accuracy
static specification.
2 Depends on WAAS/EGNOS system performance.
3 Network RTK PPM values are referenced to the closest physical base station.
4 May be affected by atmospheric conditions, signal multipath, obstructions and satellite geometry.
Initialization reliability is continuously monitored to ensure highest quality.
5 RMS performance based on repeatable in field measurements. Achievable accuracy and initialization time
may vary based on type and capability of receiver and antenna, user’s geographic location and atmospheric
activity, scintillation levels, GNSS constellation health and availability and level of multipath including
obstructions such as large trees and buildings.
6 Accuracies are dependent on GNSS satellite availability. xFill positioning without a Trimble CenterPoint RTX
subscription ends after 5 minutes of radio downtime. xFill positioning with a CenterPoint RTX subscription
will continue beyond 5 minutes providing the Trimble RTX solution has converged, with typical precisions not
exceeding 6 cm horizontal, 14 cm vertical or 3 cm horizontal, 7 cm vertical in Trimble RTX Fast regions. xFill
is not available in all regions, check with your local sales representative for more information.
7 RTK refers to the last reported precision before the correction source was lost and xFill started.
8 The internal battery will operate from –10° C to +55° C. The internal battery charger will operate from 0° C
to +45° C. All temperatures listed are ambient.
9 Bluetooth type approvals are country specific. Contact your Trimble distribution partner for more
