Error Codes Quick Reference
| ERR001 | No RTK fix — check base station, radio link, satellite count |
| ERR002 | Multipath detected — move away from reflective surfaces |
| ERR003 | Tilt compensation out of range — plumb the pole or recalibrate IMU |
| ERR005 | Radio link disconnected — check base radio and antenna |
| ERR020 | Base/rover mismatch — verify correction format settings |
| ERR021 | VRS network timeout — check cellular signal and NTRIP connection |
Frequently Asked Questions — Trimble R10
What is the Trimble R10 RTK accuracy?
8mm horizontal and 15mm vertical (both ±1ppm). This is sufficient for all construction stakeout, machine control calibration, and most survey control work.
What is Trimble TILT on the R10?
Trimble TILT is the R10's IMU-based tilt compensation — it allows accurate RTK positions without plumbing the pole, within ±8mm accuracy when the pole is tilted up to 8 degrees. Beyond 8 degrees accuracy degrades.
What correction formats does the Trimble R10 support?
The R10 supports RTCM 2.3, RTCM 3.x, CMR, CMR+, and RTCAD. For network RTK it connects via NTRIP. Confirm your base or VRS provider transmits a supported format.
How many satellites does the Trimble R10 track?
The R10 tracks up to 240 channels across GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, and QZSS constellations simultaneously.
What controller works with the Trimble R10?
The Trimble TSC7, TSC5, or TCU controllers running Trimble Access software. The R10 connects via Bluetooth to the controller.
