2.6. Mounting of the GPS-Antenna
The most suited antenna position depends on
the implement that’s being used.
When using mounted implements with Side-
Shift steering it’s advised to mount the antenna
as close to the cylinder as possible (Figure 11).
When using trailed machines with drawbar
steering it’s advised to mount the antenna as
close to the articulation joint of the drawbar as
possible (Figure 12).
It’s advised to always try to place the GPS-
antenna in the middle of the implement.
The GPS-antenna needs to be mounted as low
as can be without obstructing the antennas line
of sight (an angle of 20° from the horizon). If the
cabin roof is the highest point,
it isn’t necessary
to place the GPS-antenna higher than the roof.
If distance between roof and antenna increase
the height of the GPS-antenna can be
decreased.
Use a telescopic bracket for mounting
the GPS-antenna. In that case, if field
conditions don’t provide enough satellite
reception it is always possible to
elongate the bracket to get better
satellite signal.
2.7. Mounting of the DynamIQ
Mount the DynamIQ terrain compensation on a
flat surface free from vibrations and preferably
with the connectors pointing to the rear (default
configuration). A good place to do this would be
on the main frame of the machine.
