Overview
General
Information
The Add-On GPS 3000/3050/3100 requires no initial setup to begin
fieldwork. The PF3000 will display a “D” or “G” on the top right hand
corner of the display to indicate a GPS signal. A “D” indicates that you
have a differential signal. A “G” indicates that you have a GPS signal
and your GPS receiver is tracking four or more satellites. A lower case
“g” indicates that you have a GPS signal but your GPS receiver is
tracking only three satellites. Your GPS receiver must track four or more
satellites to get an elevation reading. You may wish to use the GPS to
show your ground speed, which requires changing the ground speed
sensor settings. Refer to Primary and Secondary Speed Sensor under
Vehicle Setup in the PF3000 Operator’s manual for instructions.
NOTE: WAAS is an optional feature now available for use with
the Add-On GPS. Contact Ag Leader Technical Support at 515-
232-5363 for more information on this capability.
