1 INTENDED USE
ATLAS 100 is a GPS speed sensor compatible with signals coming from GPS and GLONASS systems, which allows measuring the speed of a
farming machine during operation.
ATLAS100 outputs a signal having a frequency proportional to farming machine speed (please refer to section 10 “Technical data” for further details).
ARAG devices provided with input for speed sensor can rely on this information after connection to ATLAS 100 sensor by means of the suitable
cable supplied in the package.
Kit code 46701652, “Speed sensor for Bravo 180S/300S” is equipped with a serial port used for position (GGA) and speed (VTG) information, at 5
Hz, according to NMEA standard. BRAVO 300S and BRAVO 180S computers can be connected using the cable supplied with the system, they rely
on the speed information to adjust product quantity and on position information to track the job carried out
The equipment is designed and manufactured according to European directives and international standards:
2014/53/UE (RED), 2014/30/UE (EMC), CFR47 Part 15 Subpart B - Unintentional Radiators (FCC-USA) e ICES-003 Issue 5 - August
2012 - Information technology Equipment (ITE) - Limits and Methods of Measurement (Canada).
2 FCC STANDARDS
This GPS speed sensor complies with the limits provided for class B digital devices, in accordance with CFR47 part 15, subpart B of FCC standards.
These limits provide for parameters for a reasonable protection against harmful interferences.
The ATLAS 100 speed sensor generates, uses and can emit radio frequency energy and, if not correctly installed and used, may cause harmful
interferences to the communications of radio frequency devices. Nevertheless, we do not guarantee that, in particular circumstances, interferences
interference by using one or more of the following measures:
• Re-orient or reposition the sensor.
• Increase the distance between the disturbed and/or malfunctioning device and the sensor.
3 PRECAUTIONS
• Do not aim powerful water jets at the equipment when cleaning the device or the farming machine on which it is installed.
• Do not use solvents or fuel to clean the case outer surface.
• In case of voltaic arc welding, unplug connector from the device.
• Only use ARAG genuine spare parts and accessories.

clined surface: therefore we advise against using it to operate on inclined surfaces (hill) if the system as a whole is not provided
with other solutions able to measure and correct such position errors.
GPS speed sensor installation:
There are certain essential requirements to be met when installing the sensor on the farming machine:
it must be mounted on the highest point of the vehicle (including the trailer); angle of reception in the skyward direction should be as wide as possible.
Fig. 2 Fig. 3
5
The sensor must be installed on vehicle longitudinal axis and positioned so that the harness is routed in the direction opposite to the motion (Fig. 5).
Fig. 4
• GPS speed sensor fastening:
The sensor is provided with 3 magnets on the bottom side and must be fastened to a level metallic surface (for instance: the roof of the farming machine).
In case the roof is made of plastic, use a metal base (not supplied) fastened to farming machine chassis.
We recommend checking periodically the metal base
The lower part of speed sensor also features four anti-rotation recesses (Fig. 6) which can be used to fasten the antenna or to avoid accidental
misplacing of the sensor due to shocks or vibrations.
If the sensor is fastened using the anti-rotation recesses, we recommend using DIN 7505 4x10 mm self-tapping screws, paying utmost attention to
magnets

7 WIRING CONNECTIONS
• Use the supplied harnesses only.
• Take care not to break, pull, tear or cut the cables.
• Use of unsuitable cables not provided by ARAG automatically voids the warranty.
• ARAG is not liable for any damage to the equipment, persons or animals caused by failure to observe the above instructions.
• ATLAS 100 speed sensor is intended to be electrically powered by other devices. In this case it is necessary to install a 0.5A
fuse on power positive cable.
7.1 General precautions for a correct harness position
• Securing the cables:
- fasten the harnesses so that they do not interfere with moving parts;
- route the harnesses so that they cannot be damaged or broken by machine movements or twisting.
• Fitting the cables to the connection points:
- Do not force the connectors by pushing too hard or bending them: the contacts may be damaged and device operation may be compromised.
Device name
WARNING: MAKE SURE THE YELLOW SEAL IS PROPERLY SEATED IN THE CONNECTOR: ONE LIP OF THE SEAL OUT OF ITS
SEAT OR SEAL WRONG INSTALLATION COULD COMPROMISE SEALING AND PROTECTION AGAINST WEATHER CONDITIONS!
Use ONLY the cables and accessories indicated in the catalog, having technical features suitable for the use to be made of
them.
7.2 Wiring harness connection
Connect the 5-pole Superseal connector of the harness to speed sensor, pushing it all the way down until engaging the retaining tooth.
Do not twist or excessively bend the cable during positioning.

Fig. 8
To remove the connector from the speed sensor, insert a screwdriver (or similar tool) in the relevant seat
onto the connector, slightly raise the tab (1) and slide out the connector (2).

8 LED SIGNALS
The LED on the rear side of ATLAS 100 sensor indicates receiver operation by changing color and status:
OFF
GREEN : waiting for GPS data reception
GREEN steady on: correct reception of GPS data
: power supply voltage incompatible with the permitted one
