Operator’s Manual 27
• RTK Only – This mode is only displayed if the RTK Feature Code has been unlocked on the GeoSteer. The system must
have a RTK source from a Base Station via a Radio Modem or from a NTRIP source via the Cell Modem. If selected, the
GeoSteer assumes the user must be 99.9% sure of position. It requires a RTK link at all times and will disengage
AutoSteering if the link is lost. This setting expects good satellite geometry and low PDOP. Because of the high accuracy
expectation, the chances that degraded conditions occur and stop AutoSteering is higher. Use only when high accuracy is
needed at all times.
• Flex High Accuracy (0-10 cm) – (0 to 3.9 inches) This mode is only displayed if the RTK Feature Code has been
unlocked on the GeoSteer. The system must have a RTK source from a Base Station or NTRIP stream. While receiving a
RTK signal, the system is just as accurate as RTK Only mode. However, this mode allows the system to lose the RTK data
link from the Base Station for a short time and allow the vehicle to continue to AutoSteering. When the RTK signal is lost,
the system will “Flex” back to WAAS/EGNOS or Autonomous Pass-to-Pass until the estimated error gets above 10 cm.
The amount of time allowed in flex mode depends on GPS conditions. The operator is warned when the system has entered
“Flex” mode and can decide if they wish to continue or wait for the RTK link to be reestablished.
• Flex Low Accuracy (0-30 cm) – (0 to 11.8 inches) This mode is only displayed if the RTK Feature Code has been
unlocked on the GeoSteer. This mode the same as Flex High Accuracy (0-10 cm) except the system will “flex” until the
estimated error gets above 30 cm. This will allow a longer period of operation with out a RTK signal, but it is possible the
system will have more position error the longer it does not have the RTK signal. However, as long as the RTK signal is
present, the system will be just as accurate as RTK Only. The operator is warned when the system has entered “Flex”
mode and can decide if they wish to continue or wait for the RTK link to be reestablished.
• OmniSTAR Only – This mode is only displayed if the GeoSteer detects that an OmniSTAR Demodulator has been
installed on the GeoDock. The system will use the OmniSTAR for corrections only and will not “flex” to any other mode if
the signal is lost. GeoSteer supports the OmniSTAR XP and HP signals only.
• OmniSTAR Flex to WAAS/EGNOS/Autonomous Mode – This mode is displayed only if the GeoSteer detects that an
OmniSTAR Demodulator has been installed on the GeoDock. If the system is running in OmniSTAR mode, the user has
the option to “Flex” back to WAAS, EGNOS, or Autonomous Mode if the OmniSTAR signal is lost for some reason. The
mode the system will “Flex” to will depend on which region the GeoSteer is located. WAAS and EGNOIS are available in
North America and Europe respectively. Autonomous Mode is available for the rest of the world. Once the OmniSTAR
signal has been required, the system will return back to OmniSTAR mode.
• WAAS/EGNOS Only – This mode is only available where WAAS or EGNOS are available. The GeoSteer will only use
the WAAS/EGNOS signal for corrections even if an OmniSTAR or RTK signal is available.
• Autonomous Pass-to-Pass – This mode is only available in areas where WAAS or EGNOS are not available. The
GeoSteer will use the GPS signals themselves to calculate reduce the error of the position. This mode allows the system to
run with no correction sources.
After the Precision Preference has been selected, press the Blue Right Arrow button shown in Figure 2-8 to continue to the
next step.
Standard Setup Wizard Steps
If this is not the first time the Setup Wizard was run from the factory or after a reset to factory defaults, The Setup Wizard will
begin here. The Setup Wizard will take the user through each step required to setup a new vehicle. The actual steps and screen
shots may change depending on the vehicle type that is selected and the control options that are available for that vehicle.
Note: When the Setup Wizard button is pressed, the Setup Wizard will always start at this point except for the very first time
the button is pressed after the system is started the first time from the factory or after the system has been reset to factory
defaults.
