Slingshot Field Hub 2.0 I V1.0
2. Mounting and wiring Slingshot
Field Hub
The Slingshot Field Hub is mounted on the backside of the
terminal by using a standard bracket. When it is mounted,
six cables need to be connected. Power, Diversity, GPS,
Antenna, Ethernet and RS-232 (Figure 9).

2.1. Mounting antennas

By using a Slingshot Field Hub there are three cables for
different antennas, needed for a stable operation (see
Figure 10).
The two Laird (GSM) antennas needed to be connected to
Diversity and Antenna. The mounting point 'GPS' is for the
black GPS-patch antenna. Those three antennas needs to
be mounted on the roof of the machine.
It is necessary to mount the antennas on the roof,
with a clear view upwards.
2.2. Connections in the terminal and cable
boom
A Slingshot can be mounted on a GeoStar, Viper 4 and
Viper 4+.

2.2.1. Viper 4(+) - Viper 4(+) cable boom

To connect the power cable, a standard 3-pin DT
connector is mounted in the cable boom of the Viper. The
Ethernet cable can be connected straight from the
Slingshot to the Viper 4(+).
The serial connector is for the RTK corrections. On a Viper
4(+) cable boom the serial connector with label 'RTK Cor'
has to be mounted in the Slingshot Field Hub. See Figure 11
for an overview of this connections.
