Figure 5-2. GPS antenna installed on the leading edge of the vehicle
cab and centered left to right.
It is also important to install the GPS antenna in the center (left and
right) of the vehicle. This prevents swath offsets resulting in skips and
overlaps. If the center of the working implement is not in line with the
center of the guided vehicle, be sure to enter an appropriate Swath
Offset into the S2 during setup.
Cable Installation -
To prevent problems with signal interference and power fluctuations,
give careful consideration when installing the GPS antenna cable, rover
radio cable, and power cables.
Try to route antenna and radio cables away from any other RF (radio
frequency) cables. Also, be careful to avoid any cables carrying high
amperage electrical pulses. Be sure that all cables are routed and
secured properly to prevent crimping and abrasion.
Connect power cables to stable 12-volt power supplies such as vehicle
power outlets or direct battery connections. Avoid using cigarette
lighter adapters.
