Mounting Raven 600S Antenna - Raven SBGuidance Auto Installation Manual

4.2. Mounting Raven 600S antenna

Nowadays, it is also possible to use SBGuidance Auto in
combination with a Raven 600S antenna (Figure 8).
In this manual the installation of the 600S antenna is
explained. For the configuration of this antenna see the
English configuration manual: '016-8000-025EN-A -
Configuration manual – 600S smart antenna'.
On the bottom side of the 600S antenna, two magnets
are built-in for attaching the antenna to steel surfaces.
The new version of the GPS antenna bracket has a slope
on both sides, so that the 600S antenna is well centred
on the GPS antenna bracket (Figure 8). The GPS antenna
bracket has to be mounted on the front of the cabin
roof.
An adapter/split cable is supplied with this antenna. The
antenna is connected through this adapter cable and the
'600S to Viper 4' cable to the terminal harness. The
adapter cable should remain to the GPS antenna when it is
removed from the tractor.
If also a Slingshot modem is used for RTK corrections, a
'modem to receiver' cable has to be connected. Make sure
that the connectors on the roof are provided with
protective caps (Figure 10). With these protective caps no
dust and water can enter the connectors.
Furthermore, the following guidelines must be observed
when installing the GPS antenna:
Mount the GPS-antenna with the connectors
•
backwards (Figure 9).
Mount the GPS-antenna at least 60 centimetres in
•
front of the rear axle.
