Rate of Turn Accuracy: 0.1°/min Number of clients: 8 DGNSS CORRECTIONS Security: WPA2 SafePilot CAT MAX can receive DGNSS Corrections from either UHF or over Wi-Fi using NTRIP . The POWER specifications of the two are: Battery: > 18 hours of operation Quick charge (<3 hour)
CAT MAX POS provides position, speed, and port or in the vicinity. Trelleborg can provide the course information. It receives corrections from equipment for this kind of reference station, or an a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) and existing one can be used.

CAT MAX HDT Internet corrections provides heading and rate of turn. The heading is computed based on the GNSS If corrections are provided via the internet, a corrections transmitted from the CAT MAX POS, SafePilot server is typically used to access a and the rate of turn is based on the change in local reference station installed within the port.
Setup When paired, the two CAT MAX units should be placed outside with a clear sky view. Obstructions could cause the CAT MAX to be less accurate or even wrong because the measurements would be based on fewer satellite trackings. To make sure to get the best measurements, the following conditions must be taken into consideration: The recommended baseline between the two Make sure the CAT MAX has at least a 3m...

Operation Modes The CAT MAX system has four different modes, which can be used depending on conditions and situations requiring its function. The different ways of usage will be rewiewed in the following: 1. Using CAT MAX as Pilot Plug Repeater In the simplest use case, the CAT MAX can act To use the device in mode 1, please follow the as a Pilot Plug Repeater.

4. Using CAT MAX as a stand-alone system with HDT and extended Wi-Fi Range In Mode 4, the CAT EXTENDER will be used Connect the CAT EXTENDER to the Pilot Plug alongside the CAT MAX HDT and POS units. The using the supplied cable.
Position and heading quality The Device Status window in the SafePilot software provides valuable information about the quality of position, speed, and heading computations. To access it, tap the quality indicator on the left side of the top bar. The information from the different units is shown in separate windows. To switch between these, tap either CAT MAX POSITION CAT MAX HEADING or CAT EXTENDER in the bottom bar of the Device Status window The values displayed in these windows indicate whether the units are placed appropriately or should be...

Auto power off It is possible to enable/disable the feature, as required, through SafePilot software. Either of the CAT MAX Units will turn off automatically under certain conditions. If the following conditions are met, the unit will turn off. This will also occur when the devices are connected to a Pilot Plug or charger.
Maintenance To ensure the CAT MAX remains in great Ensure the safety strap is intact and not condition, please keep the following in mind: damaged. It should be replaced if it shows any signs of wear and tear. Always use the safety strap when fitting the CAT MAX on the Keep the CAT MAX clean and dry while stored.
