SECO 5114-10 Triple Magnet Mount for the Trimble R10

Overview

The SECO 5114-10 Triple Magnet Mount is an extra-tall magnetic mounting system designed for GNSS receivers with downward-facing antennas, including the Trimble R10.

Its elevated design provides the additional clearance needed when mounting compatible GNSS receivers to vehicles, machinery, or other metal surfaces. Three magnets provide a stable attachment point, while an innovative spring design allows the magnets to flex and conform more effectively to curved surfaces.

Constructed from stainless steel, the SECO 5114-10 combines durability with a relatively lightweight design and measures 6.375 inches (162 mm) in height.

Designed for the Trimble R10

The SECO 5114-10 is specifically designed to accommodate GNSS receivers that require additional clearance beneath the receiver, such as the Trimble R10.

Receivers with downward-facing antenna geometry can be difficult to mount directly to a low-profile magnetic base. The extra-tall construction of the 5114-10 raises the receiver above the mounting surface, providing the clearance needed for compatible equipment.

Extra-Tall Magnetic Mount

The mount measures:

• 6.375 in
• 162 mm

in overall height.

This increased height separates the GNSS receiver from the vehicle or metal mounting surface and helps accommodate receiver designs where the antenna extends or operates beneath the body of the unit.

The mounting height should be accounted for whenever the receiver position or antenna height is relevant to the survey workflow.

Triple-Magnet Design

Three magnetic contact points secure the mount to compatible ferrous metal surfaces.

The triple-magnet configuration distributes the attachment across multiple locations, helping create a stable base for the mounted GNSS receiver.

Possible mounting surfaces include:

• Survey vehicles
• Pickup trucks
• Machinery
• Steel structures
• Equipment housings
• Metal platforms
• Other compatible ferrous surfaces

Magnetic holding performance can vary depending on the material, curvature, coating thickness, cleanliness, and condition of the mounting surface.

Spring-Loaded Magnet System

The SECO 5114-10 uses an innovative spring design that allows greater movement and flex at the magnets.

This gives each magnetic contact point more freedom to conform to a curved mounting surface rather than requiring all three magnets to remain in a single rigid plane.

The design is especially useful when attaching the mount to:

• Vehicle roofs
• Hoods
• Curved body panels
• Cylindrical metal surfaces
• Slightly irregular steel structures

Better Adaptation to Curved Surfaces

A conventional rigid magnetic base can lose contact when placed on a curved surface because not all magnets sit flush against the metal.

The flexible spring design of the 5114-10 helps the individual magnets follow the contour of the surface, improving contact across the three mounting points.

The mounting location should still be inspected before use to ensure all magnets are seated securely.

Stainless-Steel Construction

The mount is constructed from stainless steel for field durability and corrosion resistance.

SECO also specifies the design as lightweight, making it easier to install, remove, transport, and store between vehicle-mounted GNSS applications.

The stainless-steel construction is well suited for repeated outdoor use where the mount may encounter dust, moisture, vibration, and regular handling.

Vehicle-Mounted GNSS Applications

The SECO 5114-10 provides a convenient method for temporarily attaching a compatible GNSS receiver to a vehicle without requiring a permanent mounting installation.

Vehicle-based GNSS setups can be useful for:

• Off-road surveying
• Site reconnaissance
• GIS data collection
• Mapping
• Construction site positioning
• Large-property surveys
• Mobile GNSS measurements

The receiver and mount should always be installed in a location appropriate for the vehicle speed, terrain, surrounding obstacles, and field conditions.

Temporary Metal-Surface Mounting

Because the system uses magnets, it can be installed and removed without drilling or permanently modifying the mounting surface.

This makes the 5114-10 useful for temporary setups where the GNSS receiver may need to move between multiple vehicles, machines, or metal structures.

The mounting surface should be clean and free of loose debris that could reduce magnetic contact or damage the finish.

Extra Clearance for Vehicle-Mounted GNSS Receivers

The SECO 5114-10 combines an extra-tall profile, three flexible magnetic contact points, and stainless-steel construction to support compatible GNSS receivers on vehicles and other metal surfaces. Its spring-loaded design helps the magnets conform to curved surfaces, making it especially useful for receivers such as the Trimble R10.
