GPS 5100 Receiver User Guide 2 3
Installing the Receiver 3
When routing the cable from the receiver to the external device, avoid:
• sharp objects
• kinks in the cable
• hot surfaces (exhaust manifolds or stacks)
• rotating or moving machinery parts
• sharp or abrasive surfaces
• door and window jams
• corrosive fluids or gases
Note – Do not bend the cable at the Deutsch connector. When you
secure the cable, use the supplied P-Clip. The P-Clip provides
additional support to the connectors and reduces the risk of damage.
When the cable is safely routed and connected to the receiver, use
tie-wraps to secure it at several points, particularly near the base of the
receiver, to prevent straining the connection. Coil any slack cable,
secure it with a tie-wrap, and tuck it into a safe place.
The external device may have to be configured to work with the GPS
5100 receiver. The configuration tools for the external device should
be provided with the device. For more information about configuring
the receiver, see Chapter 4. For information about connecting a
particular external device, refer to the manual for that device or
contact your local Ag Leader Reseller.
Note – Use a connector plug to cover Port B when that port is not in
use. For example, cover Port B when you are using the receiver in a
non-RTK mode.
