6X Series Sensors

Firmware

6X Firmware version 3.16.1 or greater is required for operation with the RTK-PPK module.

Software Configuration

The 6X Series sensors require the proper software configuration to be selected for use with the RTK-PPK module. This tells the sensor which aircraft the sensor is flying on, which GPS information to use, and to log the proper data.

Use either of the following based on your aircraft model:

• IF800 - Sentera GNSS

• IF1200 - Sentera GNSS

Using the proper aircraft model is important because this information is used to compute the antenna offset

How To Change Configuration

If the sensor configuration is not set to the correct aircraft model and configuration the RTK-PPK system will not function properly.

When using the Sentera GNSS configurations, the RTK-PPK module is required to initialize the sensor. Without the RTK-PPK module, the sensor will not get green LED indicator lights, and will not be ready to capture data.

If you intend to do non-RTK-PPK flights with the sensor, either change the config to the non-Sentera GNSS version, or fly with the module as normal.

Incident Light Sensor & 6X Sensor Installation

1

Attach Light Sensor to the RTK-PPK mount

Plug in the right angle USB-A to USB-C cable to the RTK-PPK module. Then slide in the Light Sensor and connect the cable to the USB-C port on the Light Sensor.

2

Attach 6X Sensor

In the 6X into smart dovetail mount, and secure the latch.

3

Connect the RTK-PPK module to the 6X Sensor

Plug in the USB-C to USB-C cable to the RTK-PPK module. Secure the Cable with the side cable clip and leg cable clip. Then Plug the USB-C Cable into the USB-C port on the top of the Sensor's gimbal.
