    DREDGEPACK® B: Dual Antenna GNSS Receiver DREDGEPACK® requires the crane’s position and heading. The best method to obtain this data is to use a dual antenna GNSS receiver. - Crane Position: The main antenna can be used for cal- culating the position and elevation of the crane. For the best performance, the GNSS receiver can be upgraded to have a low uncertainty using RTK (Real Time Kinematic) calculations and should be be combined with a source of...

    DREDGEPACK® The antennas require a 5/8-11 UNC bolt or threaded rod. WARNING: DO NOT WELD THE SCREW WHILE THE ANTENNA IS SCREWED IN. THAT COULD DAM- AGE THE ANTENNA SERIOUSLY. Either antenna can be assigned as the main antenna. It is important to identify the cable of the main antenna because it must be connected to Port 1 of the GNSS receiver.

    DREDGEPACK® D: Rotation Sensor (Port HD25A): The rotation sensor calculates the payout of the holding cable, which in turn calculates the depth of the cutting tool. This device needs to be installed with the wheel of the sensor in constant contact with the holding drum.

    DREDGEPACK® E. Cab Box and Monitor The cab box powers the monitor and connects the mouse and keyboard to the main interface box. This box should be installed in the cab of the crane, close to the monitor. The monitor comes with a monitor stand that will sit flat on a desktop surface.

    DREDGEPACK® G. Remote Viewing Computer It is also possible for a remote computer to access the DREDGEPACK® network. For example, a tug captain may want to see the DREDGPACK® screen to adjust their path or position the crane in a certain location. This is also possible through the Wi-Fi radios if you have another unrestricted computer.

    DREDGEPACK® IV. Maintenance and Care • Regular cleaning: Wipe down the GNSS receiver, cables, and antennas with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust, dirt, and debris. This can help prevent damage and ensure proper functionality. • Cable inspection: Check the cables for any signs of wear, fraying, or damage. Replace any damaged cables to prevent signal loss or data errors.
