Hose Routing - Raven DirecSteer Calibration And Operation Manual

Note: Poor GNSS signal reception may cause other systems which rely on GNSS solutions
(e.g. auto-steer systems, rate control systems, etc.) to disengage or may cause undesired
operation or results.
The following recommendations are intended to provide an optimal environment for GNSS
systems and provide the best up-time results, even as sources of interference may spike
throughout the day.
Mount GNSS antennas with a clear, unobstructed view of the sky.
l
A minimum clearance of 1 m [39 in] is recommended around the GNSS antenna
l
to help avoid common issues with signal interference. Do not mount cellular,
radio, or other GNSS antennas within this area.
Mount the GNSS antenna to the tallest point of the machine. Avoid mounting the
l
antenna in a location where obstructions (e.g. bins/hoppers, cab roof lines, equip-
ment frame or structural elements, etc.) may rise into the antenna view.
Note:
base of the antenna and extends over the skyward face of the receiver/antenna.
GNSS is a line-of-sight system. A clear path must exist between the satellite and the
l
GNSS antenna.
Obstructions such as buildings, tree branches and limbs, as well as components
l
of the vehicle such as a fiberglass or metal roof, and etc. may cause signal multi-
path or completely block the GNSS receiver.
Electrical and magnetic fields can interfere with GNSS or L-Band signals.
l
Avoid mounting GNSS receivers or antennas near components such as radio or
l
cellular antennas, electrical motors, generators, alternators, strobe lights, radio
transmitters, radio or cellular antennas, etc.
Over-head power lines, microwave dishes, radar, other active antennas, etc. can
l
interfere with GNSS signal.
Mount the Field Hub cellular and diversity antennas at least 1 m [39 in] apart. Avoid
l
mounting other cellular, radio, or GNSS aerials within this area.

Hose Routing

The word "hose" is used to describe any flexible, fluid carrying components. Use the
following guidelines and recommendations when connecting and routing hoses while
installing or maintaining this Raven system:
The antenna view typically starts 5° to 10° above horizontal from the
