EZ-Guide Plus Lightbar Guidance System Getting Started Guide Getting Guidance 35
Configuration for Australia
For optimal lightbar performance in Australia, make the following changes:
1. Select Lightbar / Units and then change the units to Metric.
2. To use DGPS positions from an external receiver:
a. From the configuration menu, select Lightbar / Data Port Settings.
b. In the Input field, select External GPS.
c. Change the baud rate settings to match the NMEA GGA and VTG output rate
from the external DGPS receiver.
3. If external corrections are available, for example, using the CSi SBA-1 beacon
receiver:
a. Select Lightbar / Data Port Setting.
b. In the Input field, select Corrections.
c. Change the baud rate settings to match the output of the correction receiver,
for example, 8N1 9600.
If corrections are not available, use the OnPath advanced filter technology for
improved pass-to-pass accuracy. The filter is enabled by default.
4. If you are in large open fields with no trees, increase the decay time to
120 minutes for even better pass-to-pass accuracy. If you increase the decay
time, then note the following:
• You must be in an open area, and have good GPS positions when you select
(Reset Guidance).
• You should not see any position jumps. If you see position drift, or constant
offset from the AB Line, you may need to reduce the decay time to less than
15 minutes.
Speed pulse output
The EZ-Guide Plus system can output simulated radar pulses at a pre-defined speed
pulse output rate. This can be used to:
• Replace the radar / true ground speed sensor for speed on the vehicle.
• Send speed to any other agricultural device requiring speed pulses, for example,
yield monitor or variable rate controller.
To use speed pulse output, you need a radar sensor cable kit, which includes a pulse
amplifier adaptor. To purchase one, contact your local reseller.
