There are a number of options available for each sub-category. Each of these options comes with their own installation and
operational manuals that should be referred to during their part of the installation.

Display Kits
GeoSteer is compatible with multiple Display options. The Displays are ordered as a separate component and include their own
installation and operator’s instructions. The Display Operator’s Manual will show how the Display and Display Harnesses are
installed on a vehicle and how they are connected to the GeoSteer Harnesses. There are three connections between the Display
and the GeoSteer Main Cable Harness that need to be connected:
• ETHERNET TO DISPLAY – This connection is a RJ-45 connector that is plugged into the Ethernet port on the Display
or Display Harness to provide communications between the Display and the GeoSteer Control Unit.
• POWER ACTIVATION – This connection is connected to the Display or Display Harness that provides a signal that
commands the GeoSteer to power up. When this signal is turned off, the GeoSteer will power down.
• UNSWITCHED POWER – This is connected to a power source that provides 12 volts of unswitched DC power to the
GeoSteer. The power source should not be connected to a power supply that is connected to the vehicle’s ignition. This
source should be shown or explained in the Display Operator’s Manual.
The Display Kit will provide the necessary harnesses and instructions to provide power to the GeoSteer system and to allow
communications between the two. Use those instructions to complete the Display installation and to connect the Display to the
GeoSteer system after the Display mount has been installed.
