Well, now let’s go to the installation of the Antenna GPS above the operator’s cabin, but before starting you should take into account some points to ensure maximum antenna performance:
- The antenna kit has a magnetic base, which attaches strongly to ferromagnetic-type metal surfaces..
- For non-magnetic surfaces, a circular metal support plate with double-sided tape on one side for ceiling mounting is included in the kit..
- The antenna installation location must be as flat as possible, and aligned with the machine chassis, preventing the antenna from being tilted in any direction..
- Obstructions to the view of the sky must be avoided, such as the exit of the tractor exhaust and air filter collector, so as not to compromise the reception of the satellite signal.
- Avoid installing the antenna GPS close to other machine radio antennas (at least 1 meter away), which can cause interference and consequent loss of signal quality.
- Avoid installation locations with a lot of vibration during operation.
- Do not cut, twist or bend the antenna cable GPS, to avoid degradation and loss of signal from satellites.
Installation of the antenna GPS It is a simple process, however the details of the installation are extremely important for the correct functioning of the system. IsoView.
Step | Action |
---|---|
1 | Find a mounting location for the antenna |
2 | Clean the area with a cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol or neutral soap diluted in water, ensuring that it is free of dirt.. |
3 | Thoroughly dry the antenna installation area. |
4 | Use a measuring tape to determine the point and leave a reference mark for installing the Antenna. |
5 | Make sure, again, that the dot is centered along the roof of the vehicle.. |
6 | Attach directly to this point, the circular metallic support plate with double-sided tape that comes with the kit, removing the plastic protection from the tape and sticking it firmly. |
7 | screw the antenna GPS on its magnetic base. |
8 | Connect the antenna cable (CX-3) to the Antenna using the 90º angled connector and tighten securely for good contact and to prevent moisture ingress |
9 | Place the assembled Antenna assembly directly onto the metal support plate. Magnets built into the bottom of the base will hold it in place.. |
10 | Route the other end of the antenna cable (CX-3) to the cab entry location. |
