Placement is crucial to the system’s operation. The GPS engine inside the reciever computes a position
based upon measurements from each satellite to the internal GPS antenna unit. Mount the reciever on
your point of interest. When choosing a location to mount the antenna, please make certain that there is
an unobstructed view of the sky available to the GPS 1500 smart antenna. This will ensure that GPS
satellites are not masked by obstructions, which can potentially reduce system performance.
To place the GPS 1500
1. Mount the receiver on, or as close to, the center of your point of measurement.
2. Position the receiver as high as possible.
Below is an illustration of the ideal location to place the receiver on a vehicle.

The reciever is capable of outputting a simulated radar speed pulse. This simulates a similar pulse
output that you would receive from a standard radar gun.
To use the radar speed input you must set the speed input to RADAR under the appropriate setup
screen for the monitor/display. Additional cables will also be required to obtain the simulated speed
output. Contact Ag Leader’s AutoFarm’s Technical Support team for these additional cables.
