Choosing a location
When choosing a location, consider the following:
Mount the receiver:
•
on a flat surface along the centerline of the vehicle
•
in any convenient location that is within 5.5 meters (18 ft) of the
port on the external instrument; if necessary, use the optional
extension cable to connect the receiver and external device
Note –
If you are using a Trimble AgGPS Autopilot system, refer to
the installation instructions that are provided with the Autopilot.
•
at the highest point on the vehicle, with no metal surfaces
blocking the receiver’s view of the sky
•
in such a way that it is not damaged when you drive the machine
into a shed or storage area
Do not mount the receiver:
•
close to stays, electrical cables, metal masts, CB radio antennas,
cellular phone antennas, air-conditioning units (machine cab
blower fan), or machine accessory lights
•
near transmitting antennas, radar arrays, or satellite
communication equipment
•
near areas that experience high vibration, excessive heat,
electrical interference, and strong magnetic fields
Note –
A metal combine grain tank extension can block satellites.
