Preface
This configuration manual is intended for persons responsible for configuring a Viper 4 field computer
with Raven 600S smart antenna running SBGuidance software. The manual contains important
instructions that should be complied with when commissioning, operating and servicing the
SBGuidance system.
This manual has been compiled with the utmost care. SBG Precision Farming assumes no responsibility
for any errors or omissions in this document.
Any comments or questions can be sent to [e-mail].
SBG Precision Farming or any of its suppliers will accept no liability for physical or material
damage caused whilst using the SBGuidance system.
The installed SBG system produces less than 70dB (A) noise.
This user guide uses a number of concepts for extra attention to a few things:
Tip!:
Provides recommendations on how certain
activities can be performed much easier.
Please note!:
Indicates certain problems that the user
should take note of.
Caution!:
Indicates that the machine can be damaged.
Warning!:
Indicates a risk of injury.

Disclaimer
Warning!:
Always switch off the tractor before installing or repairing hydraulic and electrical components
of the SBGuidance system.
Warning!:
The safety instructions contained in the manuals of the tractor or implements must be complied
with at all times.
Warning!:
It is strictly prohibited to use the SBGuidance system on public roads.
Warning!:
It is strictly prohibited to leave a driving vehicle unattended when the SBGuidance system is
switched on. The driver is always responsible for the direction and course of the vehicle.
Warning!:
To prevent injury or fire, replace defective fuses only with fuses of the same type and amperage.
Warning!:
The SBGuidance the operating system is not able to detect and avoid obstacles. If there is an
obstacle in your path, you will always need to take action for it to be avoided.
Warning!:
Only allow authorized/qualified persons to operate the system. Authorized/qualified persons are
defined as: persons who have read and understood the manual, have been given instructions by
a product specialist, and who are both physically and mentally fit and able to operate the
system.
Warning!
In case of system failure or breakdown switch of the tractor and disconnect the electrical power
source to avoid further damage. Contact your dealer for further instructions on how to repair
your system.
Warning!
The system contains moving parts! Make sure the immediate environment is clear of people
before operating the system.

Warning!
Always wear personal protective equipment when operating/adjusting/repairing the system
outside of the tractor cab.
Caution!:
In order to prevent power surges from occurring, always start the machine first, before initiating
the SBGuidance control system.
Caution!:
Only touch the touch-screen with your finger or by using a special touch-screen stylus/pen.
Operating the touch-screen with sharp objects may cause permanent damage to the screen.
Caution!:
Always consult your supplier as to which products are best suited first before cleaning the
touch-screen with chemicals or alcohol.
Please note!
If the terminal is not used for a long period, better remove the terminal from the tractor and
store in a heated environment. This will extend the life span of the electronic components.
Please note!
To prevent theft, it is better to not let the terminal and GPS-antenna unattended in the tractor
on the field.

1. Introduction
This configuration manual is intended for configuring a
Viper 4 field computer with Raven 600S smart antenna
(Figure 1). This configuration manual applies to
SBGuidance version 4.0.x or later.
As a new alternative to the Viper 4 TWIN with internal
dual antenna receiver we can offer the Viper 4 with the
Raven 600S smart antenna. The Viper 4 field computer
doesn’t have a build-in GPS receiver, but uses the
external 600S smart antenna. This 600S antenna is fully
scalable which means you can order it with SBAS,
Satellite GS or RTK accuracy. The 600S comes standard
with a dual frequency receiver and antenna. And with
that it is able to use the GLIDE technology and
GLONASS in standard. SBAS + GLIDE has a standard
accuracy of +/-20 cm (pass-to-pass) and is perfect for
applications such as section control.
The antenna can be upgraded to Satellite GS accuracy.
This correction requires a payed subscription. With that
the antenna reaches +/- 3 cm accuracy pass-to-pass
(initial warm-up time is at least 20 min). The correction
signal is received through a geostatic satellite.
The Raven 600S can be upgraded to RTK (+/- 2 cm) as
well. The corrections will be received through a
Slingshot modem. An RTK subscription is needed.

2. Hardware configuration
For installing the components on the vehicle, follow
the instructions in the general Installation manual
SBGuidance Auto. In case of a 600S tractor kit, 600S
antenna cabling needs to be installed instead of
installing a coaxial cable.

2.2. 600S SBAS tractor kit
For SBAS and Satellite GS accuracy a 600S SBAS tractor
kit is required.
Please note!
There is a difference between a harness
shipped in 2017 and shipped before 2017.
Look at the part number on the harness to find
out which configuration is recommended.
2.2.1. In-Cab Harness (Terminal) before
2017 SBAS
This chapter describes how to configure the system
when using an In-Cab Harness (Terminal): SBG13711-
09. This cable is shipped before 2017.
Port A of the 600S main cable needs to be connected
to COM 3 of the Viper 4 terminal harness using a Null
modem (Figure 2).
