1 Introduction.
This is the third version of a Memo intended to be used by service technicians working with the Herd Navigator
system.
This third version includes new chapters as well as some existing chapters are updated, mainly to cover the HN
version 2 systems as well.
However the process of constantly developing and filling the memo with the necessary information, will continue.
We are therefore very interested in getting your feedback, on both the things that are in the Memo, and the things
that you miss in the Memo.
In this way we can help each other to develop a “handbook” allowing all Herd Navigator Technicians to have the
necessary information and guidelines to do their job the best way.
The Memo contains four main Chapters
A trouble shooting section: with description of error messages, and the possible causes and actions.
In this section there is references to relevant chapters in the next section.
A best practice / How do I section: This section has descriptions of the different procedures for working with and
operating the Herd Navigator systems.
This includes things as cleaning, adjustments, assembly instructions, simulating operation for test purposes. Ect.
An Info section:
This section has useful information on upgrades made on the system, and where to find the latest technical diagrams
ect.
An Appendices section:
This section has chapters on how to download firmware, list of settings ect.
