Mounting Raven 600S Antenna - Raven SBGuidance Auto Installation Manual

6.4 Mounting Raven 600S antenna

Nowadays, it is also possible to use SBGuidance Auto
in combination with a Raven 600S antenna (Figure 42).
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 42). The
GPS antenna bracket has to be mounted on the front
of the cabin roof.
See Figure 55 for the connection schematics of the
600S cabling. 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 44). 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 43).
Mount the GPS-antenna at least 60

centimetres in front of the rear axle.
