Viper® 4 and 4+ Introduction and Technical Specifications

Integrated DGPS Receiver Option

The Viper 4 and Viper 4+ are available with either of the following options:

Viper 4 base unit without an integrated DGPS solution (P/N 063-0173-410) 

Viper 4+ base unit without an integrated GPS solution (P/N 063-0173-776)

Viper 4 with integrated, scalable dual frequency DGPS receiver (P/N 063-0173-409)

Viper 4+ with integrated, scalable dual frequency DGPS receiver (P/N 063-0173-775)

These configurations allow the Viper 4 or Viper 4+ to integrate into existing precision agriculture systems or 
installed as the first building block for equipping a precision agriculture solution your current operations.

The Viper 4 and Viper 4+ with integrated DGPS receivers provide the in-cabin components necessary to start 
adding precision agriculture tools into a few implements in the machine shed or an entire fleet. With an 
integrated DGPS receiver, the Viper 4 or Viper 4+ may be quickly transferred between tractors, applicators, 
swathers, and harvesters for use throughout the growing season.

Whether equipped with an integrated DGPS receiver or not, the Viper 4 or Viper 4+ may be integrated into 
machines with existing DGPS solutions to utilize or enhance existing DGPS equipment already in the vehicle 
cabin.

Note:

Review the installation information provided with any external DGPS equipment to install and 
connect the Viper 4 or Viper 4+.

When used with an external DGPS receiver, the internal receiver will not be used during field 
operations. If the external receiver stops providing signal during the field operation, the internal 
DGPS receiver may be enabled to allow operations to continue.
