About the GPS receiver
The DGPS/GLONASS receiver is used to determine the exact position of a vehicle
during field work.
The GPS receiver can be used worldwide. In Europe and North America, it works
with the GPS system and the WAAS and EGNOS correction systems. In locations
where WAAS and EGNOS cannot be used, the GPS receiver can use the GPS
system together with GLONASS satellites. The correction signal is then calculated
internally (using GLIDE technology).
GLONASS
GLONASS is a Russian satellite system which can be used in addition to the
American GPS system.
WAAS and EGNOS
WAAS and EGNOS are satellite-based correction services which can be used in
Europe and North America.
GLIDE
GLIDE technology can be used in parallel to other methods. This thus further
increases path-to-path accuracy. [➙10]
Accuracies
▪Path-to-path accuracy describes the maximum displacement of the GPS position
during field work. A path-to-path accuracy of 2.5 cm means that the overlap or
defect during parallel movements is a maximum of 2.5 cm.
▪Absolute accuracy is the accuracy with which a movement can be repeated after
days, months or years. An absolute accuracy of 2.5 cm means that the deviation
of a movement after one year is a maximum of 2.5 cm. This maximum deviation

also applies if, after one year has passed, you use the field limits, guidance
lines, obstacles, etc. in the TRACK-Leader application from the previous year.
Meaning of the LED lights
The GPS receiver has three LED lights, which display the current state of the GPS
receiver.
Green LED light
Red LED light
Yellow LED light
▪Green:
–Flashing: The GPS receiver is searching for WAAS and EGNOS correction
signals
–Lit: The GPS receiver is using WAAS and EGNOS correction signals.
▪Yellow:
–Flashing: The GPS receiver is receiving GPS or GLONASS signals.
–Lit: The GPS receiver has calculated the current position.
▪Red:
–Lit: The GPS receiver is ready (approx. 30 seconds after the terminal is
switched on).
If you selected the selected the values "GPS/GLONASS GLIDE 1" or
GPS/GLONASS GLIDE 2"" during Configuration [➙10], the green LED is not used.
The GPS receiver will only use the internal correction signal.

Mounting the GPS receiver
GPS receiver on the roof of a tractor
NOTICE
The GPS receiver needs an open view of the sky.
◦Mount the GPS receiver on the roof of the vehicle cabin.
◦Avoid obscuring the GPS receiver's view of the sky.
You fit the GPS receiver as follows:
1. Identify a suitable location on the roof of the vehicle: as far forward as possible,
and in the center of the vehicle.
2. Use alcohol to clean the position on which will you want to mount the GPS
receiver.
3. Expose the adhesive surface of the magnetic plate. The notch in the magnetic
plate must face away from the direction of travel.
4. Place the GPS receiver onto the magnetic plate so that it locks. The connection
must thus face away from the direction of travel.
⇨You have now mounted the GPS receiver onto the roof of the vehicle.
⇨You can now connect the GPS receiver to a terminal.

Connecting the GPS receiver to a terminal
NOTICE
Terminal connector supplying power
Potential damage to the terminal from a short-circuit.
◦Switch the terminal off before plugging in or removing the connector.
This is how you connect the GPS receiver to a terminal:
1. Switch off the terminal.
2. Guide the cable of the GPS receiver into the vehicle cab.
3. Find the appropriate RS232 connection on the terminal. Refer to the operating
instructions for the terminal to find out which connection this is. On most Müller-
Elektronik terminals, this is connection C.
⇨You have now connected the GPS receiver to the terminal.
Activating the driver of the GPS receiver on a terminal
You will need to activate the GPS receiver differently depending on where you have
connected it.
Version
Driver
Via the terminal's serial interface
"AG-STAR, SMART-6L" or "GPS_STD"
Via the TRACK-Leader TOP steering job
computer
"PSR CAN"
Via the TRACK-Leader AUTO steering
job computer
"TRACK-Leader AUTO"
You can read how to activate a driver in the operating instructions for the terminal.
Configuring the GPS receiver
The GPS receiver can be configured differently for various terminals. You can find
out how to do this in the operating instructions for the terminal.

Information for GLIDE
If you have selected a correction signal with GLIDE, please note:
▪Switch the GPS receiver off when driving on roads.
▪After starting the systems each time, it takes ca. 5 minutes until the system is
ready for operation. Wait on the field to be worked during this time, before you
start working.
▪Ensure that the GPS receiver does not lose the GPS signal during work. If the
signal gets lost, it can cause the GLIDE to restart. This can lead to track offset.
