Antenna Fore/Aft
Antenna Fore/Aft
—Distance between GPS antenna and
Pivot Point.
Pivot Point is where vehicle rotates as it turns. Pivot Point
depends on steering method. Common Pivot Points are:
Front Axle Steering
—Rear axle for MFWD, SPRAYER,
FLOATER vehicles.
Track Vehicle
—Center point of track.
Articulated Vehicles
—Articulation joint of vehicle.
Rear Axle Steering
—Front axle for COMBINE and
SWATHER vehicles.
First identify Pivot Point on vehicle that system is being
installed on. Measure distance between Pivot Point and GPS antenna and enter value.
Fore
—Antenna is located in front of Pivot Point.
Aft
—Antenna is located behind Pivot Point.
After Antenna Fore/Aft has been entered, press
to continue to next step.
÷
NOTE!: GPS antenna can be mounted in front or behind Pivot Point. Press button that indicates which side of Pivot
Point GPS antenna is mounted. If value is 0.0, it does not matter which button is pressed.
Antenna Lateral Offset
Antenna Lateral Offset is distance between center of drawbar and GPS antenna. This value is 0.0 if antenna is mounted in
center of vehicle. If antenna is not mounted in center, measure offset and enter value. Value will be adjusted after
calibration process to ensure center of vehicle is in same position going both directions on A/B Line.
÷
NOTE!: If Antenna Lateral Offset is ever changed by more than 4.0 inches (10.2 cm), a new calibration procedure
must be performed on vehicle.
For best results, GPS antenna should be mounted along
centerline of vehicle; however it can be mounted to left or
right of centerline if necessary.The direction of offset is
highlighted green. Press button that indicates which side
of centerline GPS antenna is mounted. If offset is 0.0, it does
not matter which one is selected.
Left
—GPS is left of centerline.
Right
—GPS is right of centerline.
