Choosing a location
When choosing a location, consider the following:
Mount the receiver:
• on a flat surface along the centerline of the vehicle
• in any convenient location that is within 5.5 meters (18 ft) of the
port on the external instrument; if necessary, use the optional
extension cable to connect the receiver and external device
Note – If you are using a Trimble AgGPS Autopilot™ system,
please refer to the installation instructions that are provided
with the Autopilot.
• at the highest point on the vehicle, with no metal surfaces
blocking the receiver’s view of the sky
• in such a way that it is not damaged when you drive the machine
into a shed or storage area
Do not mount the receiver:
• close to stays, electrical cables, metal masts, CB radio antennas,
cellular phone antennas, air-conditioning units (machine cab
blower fan), or machine accessory lights
• near transmitting antennas, radar arrays, or satellite
communication equipment
• near areas that experience high vibration, excessive heat,
electrical interference, and strong magnetic fields
