Swath XL Installation Instructions
Unpacking Your System
Open the shipping box and examine the contents for any signs of damage. Please notify the shipper and
MID-TECH Customer Support of any damage to the shipping box or its contents. Make sure you have
received all items that you purchased with the Swath XL System. Contents may vary depending on what you
ordered. Table 1-1 lists the standard components that should arrive with your Swath XL system. Please keep
your invoice and original shipping box. If you need to return the lightbar, it must be returned in the original
shipping box.
Installing Your System
It is important that you setup and install the Swath XL hardware properly. Incorrect setup or poor installation
may result in intermittent and erratic operation of both the Swath XL hardware and software. This User
Guide does not cover GPS receiver setup and operation. You should review the appropriate operators man-
ual for installation instructions. We recommend connecting all hardware components prior to permanently
installing each component in the vehicle. Once you have concluded that all components are interfaced and
running properly, you should disconnect everything and install them in the vehicle.
It is very important that you choose the installation location carefully, making sure that all cables and con-
nections are easily reached and there is no excess strain on any connections. A clean and proper installation
ensures hours of trouble free operation.
GPS Receiver
Please review your GPS receiver User Guide for specific installation instructions. Always check each cable
length prior to permanently installing the receiver. Make sure the serial cable from the GPS receiver to the
Swath XL interface cable is not crimped or damaged and is placed so that it will not get caught inadvertently
by a foot or door.
GPS Antenna
Care should be taken as to where you locate the D-GPS antenna. The most accurate D-GPS system in the
world is of no value if the antenna is located incorrectly. For any MID-TECH application employing guid-
ance, the GPS antenna should be located along the long axis center line of the vehicle. If the vehicle long
axis center line and the center of the spray boom are not the same, i.e. the boom is not mounted to match the
center of the vehicle, then the antenna should be mounted in a location on the vehicle that matches the center
