115-0171-937 or 115-0171-938).
DGPS Receiver Connection
Signal from a DGPS receiver must be routed into the Viper Pro via the serial connector labeled ‘DGPS’ on the
main interface cable (P/N 115-0172-001). For information on configuring the Viper Pro to receive signal from
the connected DGPS Receiver, refer to the Serial Communication Port Setup section on page 180.
CANbus Installation
CAN systems allow product nodes to be added to expand the number of control channels on the system at any
time. Five product control nodes can be connected to the Viper Pro control system for any combination of
liquid, granular, chemical injection, or spinner control applications.
Review the Raven CANbus Installation Manual for details on building a CANbus network or adding a control
channel to an existing product control system.
NOTICE
Carefully read and follow all installation
instructions included with the DGPS receiver
and antenna and any optional DGPS
components before connecting the Viper Pro
field computer or related cabling.
