Chapter 1: Introducing the S3
Overview
The Outback™ S3™ GPS guidance system features a high-resolution touch screen,
multi-language support, and clear, easy-to-read job data and system status
information in real time. The electronically integrated Outback Steering Guide™ uses
GPS data and specific job details to display heading direction and provide guidance.
As a first-time or experienced user of Outback products, you should acquaint yourself
with the instructions contained in this user guide. You will find many useful tips and
suggestions to help you get the most from your investment.
S3 accuracy and functionality is extended by using it in combination with an Outback
GPS-assisted steering system (Outback eDriveTC™, Outback VSi™, or Outback
eDriveX™) and the Outback BaseLineX™ RTK base station. Once eDriveTC/eDriveVSi/
eDriveX is engaged it uses GPS technology to automatically steer the vehicle,
resulting in more uniform treatments, extended hours of operation, and less driver
skill required. eDriveTC/eDriveVSi/eDriveX also correct for GPS position errors caused
when driving on slopes in the terrain—essential for precision applications.
Outback S3 and eDriveTC/eDriveVSi/eDriveX combined with BaseLineX provide
repeatable accuracy to within +/- 4 inches pass to pass. With BaseLineX, the minimum
guidance speed is 0.25 m.p.h. and elevation is available as a display option on the S3.
