2.1.5 Mounting the SMART-AG
The SMART-AG is a single-frequency GNSS receiver and antenna.
When installing the SMART-AG, do the following:
• Choose a location that has a clear view of the sky so that each satellite above the
horizon can be tracked without obstruction. For more information, refer to the
GNSS Book found at
www.novatel.com/support/knowledge-and-learning/ .
• Mount on a secure, stable structure capable of safe operation in the specific
environment. Typical installation is the tractor cab roof, ideally close to the pivot
point of the tractor.
See 2.2.5.1 Physical Installation on Page 28 for additional requirements.
2.1.6 Connecting Data Communications Equipment
To communicate with the receiver by sending commands and obtaining logs, a connection to data
communications equipment is required. See the SMART-AG Cable Pinouts table on Page 62 for more
information.
