3 Upgrading features & Unlock codes
3.1 FM-1000 Receiver/Screen Unlocks
I. EGNOS to OmniSTAR
II. OmniSTAR to RTK
III. Glonass
IV. Second Antenna
V. TrueTracker
VI. TrueGuide
VII. Variable Rate & Section Control
3.2 Upgrading to OmniSTAR
The EGNOS to OmniSTAR Part Number is
73313916. The dealer must place an order
with SAP. Then he must send an e-mail to
eugpsreceiverupg[email protected] with
following information :
I. Serial number of the screen
II. CNH part number
III. SAP order number
The Customer must then purchase a
subscription for a HP or XP correction
signal from OmniSTAR (for info please
visit www.omnistar.nl)
Once the upgrade code has been ordered,
A minimum of 2 full days is necessary to
send back the Upgrade code. Also
included in the Upgrade is a new level
antenna which is needed to replace the
Ag15 antenna that comes with the EGNOS
level FM-1000. The Ag15 can receive an
EGNOS signal.

The Upgrade code must then be entered
in to the screen. Choosing the 'Support'
tab on the 'Home' screen and pressing the
'Unlocks' button and choosing the correct
unlock feature
Note: The serial number asked for on the
OmniSTAR order form is the OmniSTAR User
ID number and not the screen serial number,
both are on the 'Support' Tab on the home
screen, shown in [Figure 3.2] & [Figure 3.3].
3.3 Upgrading to RTK
The RTK upgrade code can be received
using the same method as that of EGNOS
to OmniSTAR. The same antenna used for
OmniSTAR can be used for RTK. The FM-
1000 needs an ‘Internal radio module
450-470’to pick up the RTK signal. If the
FM-1000 has got the 450-470 radio
module it will have a sticker. If the FM-
1000 screen doesn't have the 450-470
radio, see the installing Radio module
section below.
Note: If the VRS Ag3000 modem is being
used then the FM-1000 will not need the
radio module. It will only need to be
unlocked to a RTK level.
