Mounting the Enhancer
Because the enhancer is correcting the GPS for roll, it is very important
that the enhancer be mounted level to the machine. It should be mounted
solidly in the cab, with the cables pointed toward the back of the machine.
1. Drive the machine onto the most level surface possible.
2. Mark the front and rear, as well as the center line of the machine, either
on the ground or with other visual marks.
3. On the SmarTrax controller, go to the GPS Enhancer Configuration
screen, and then arrow down to the ‘Roll’ screen.
4. The current roll will display and update every second. This could be a
positive or negative number, with positive being to the right and
negative being to the left. Record a few of these numbers and calculate
the average. Be sure to write this number down, as you will need it for
later use.
5. Turn the machine 180 degrees and line it up on the front, rear, and
center line marks.
6. The current roll will display and update again every second. Record a
few of these numbers and calculate the average. If the enhancer is
perfectly level, the value will be the same in both directions, with one
of the numbers being negative, so that the sum of the numbers equals
zero.
Example: 2.16 degrees North
+ -2.16 degrees South
0
Important: The enhancer contains motion-sensitive
components. Avoid placing the unit anywhere it may be
struck, such as near pedals or under components that move
during normal tractor operation.
Note: Roll is displayed as ‘R’ in the upper left-hand corner
of the home screen.
