AVAILABLE TEEJET APP’S
TeeJet has developed App’s which makes it possible, via the USB port, to update the application software, update
GPS receiver rmware, force -delete job data in memory or force -touch screen calibration. The App’s and their
support documents are placed on: ftp://ftp.support.teejet.dk/Tech_Support/OEM_Tech_Support/Matrix_GS/
Select one of the below folders and the actual version, e.g. V4.31

ClearPath Filter reset option for Matrix Pro GS consoles:
(! Only Matrix PRO GS V4.11, V4.12, V4.20 and V4.21)
Customers who operate their Matrix Pro GS units in marginal GNSS reception conditions while transporting to
the eld with the Matrix Pro GS console turned on will benet from a new ClearPath lter reset procedure. Reset-
ting the ClearPath lter will purge the GNSS receiver of bad data that can accumulate while operating under
trees and in close proximity to structures while transporting to the eld. Please read the instructions in the docu-
ment named 98-01506-EN.
ftp://ftp.support.teejet.dk/Tech_Support/OEM_Tech_Support/Matrix_GS/03_ClearPath_Reset_On-O/
In this folder you will nd the App to enable or disable the ClearPath Filter Reset feature.
! The ‘ClearPath Filter Reset’ option is now implemented in Matrix V4.31 and it’s no longer required to acti-
vate it with an App. We recommend to update to the latest version.
FieldPilot & Unipilot PRO
(! Only Matrix PRO GS V4.20)
Enable FieldPilot & Unipilot PRO:
In order to reduce the time needed for consoles to power up and be ready to operate, all consoles shipped from
TeeJet before and after March 28th, 2016 are congured to not search for the SCM Pro module during boot. All
consoles to be used with an SCM Pro in a UniPilot Pro or FieldPilot Pro system must be updated with the USB
Drive app ‘Enable_fppro_probe’.
GPS Receiver settings (Internal and external):
FieldPilot Pro operates with internal and external receivers set to 115,200 baud rate, GGA & VTG @ 10 Hz, ZDA @
1 Hz. New consoles shipping from TeeJet after March 28th, 2016 will have internal receivers operating at these
settings. Consoles shipped from TeeJet prior to March 28th, 2016 that will be used with FieldPilot Pro and UniPi-
lot Pro must be updated with the USB Drive app ‘Update_receiver_frequencies’’
ftp://ftp.support.teejet.dk/Tech_Support/OEM_Tech_Support/Matrix_GS/05_FieldPilotPRO/
In this folder you will nd the two App’s and the latest rmware for the SCM PRO module.
! From Matrix V4.21 it’s no longer required to enable the auto steering feature with an App. This is now pos-
sible directly in the application. We recommend to update to the latest version.

POWER SUPPLY
Figure 1: Power supply
B
A
• Check the 3-Amp fuse pos. A (PN 166-403)
• Check there is +12V on pin ‘15/30’ in the 3P power
connector, pos. B
• Check there is Ground on pin‘31’ in the 3P power
connector, pos. B
Warning: When connecting the system to 12V power
it’s very important that the polarity is correct, if not the
system can be damaged.
ANTENNA
Type:
TeeJet oer two anttena types - Patch and RXA-30
Patch antenna • Active antenna with amplier and lter
• Magnetic mount
• 5m xed 3mm antenna cable
• Fed with 5V supply through cable
• Metal plate (10x15cm)
• Glonass compatible (2015 kits)
If you upgrade the GPS receiver to include Glonass,
remember to check if the patch antenna is Glonass
compatible.
RXA-30 antenna • High performance active antenna with amplier and
lter
• Magnetic mount
• 6m connected 5mm antenna cable
• Fed with 5V supply through cable
• Glonass compatible (All)

Antenna Installation:
The GPS Antenna base is magnetic. Position the antenna in the centre of the vehicle at the highest point with
a clear view of the sky. A metal plate with adhesive strips has been included in the kit for easy mounting and
installation.
Figure 2: Antenna installation
For the ‘Patch antenna’ it’s STRONGLY recommended to use this metal plate underneath the antenna as
it will improve signal acquisition. Once the antenna has been positioned, route the antenna cable
carefully to avoid damage.
Antenna cable and connector:
Both the Patch and RXA-30 antenna is an‘Active antenna’. The 5V power supply and GND to antenna is sourced
via the antenna cable. It’s very important the antenna cable is undamaged and the antenna cable connector is
fastened enough.
Figure 3: Antenna cable
Check the antenna cable carefully, look for:
• Damaged isolation.
• Places where the cable has been bent, squeezed etc.
Check the antenna cable connector carefully, look for:
• Inner part of the cable is pushed backwards (No or
poor connection).
Correct

Matrix®- how to check
• Fastend the antenna cable connector enough
to ensure the 5V power supply to the antenna is
established and constant.
TEST GPS RECEIVER
Place the Matrix PRO GS console in a vehicle and ensure the antenna is placed correct. Find a place with clear sky
and optimal signal reception where you can drive the vehicle without risk to other road users. It’s also important
your test lane has a straight line/edge you can follow or it’s possible to establish one.
Start the console and wait until the satellite is green, wait another 10-15 minutes before you start the test (to
avoid drift problems).
Make an accurate straight A/B line, turn the vehicle and follow the same line, watching the guidance
performance is accurate, steady and without abnormal drift.
If the guidance performance is poor/unsteady and you can’t identify the cause, you may want to try with another
antenna and ensure the Matrix PRO GS incl. The GPS receiver, is fully updated, before you send the console in for
repair.
Figure 4: GPS settings:
• From version 4.11 and the GPS receiver
fully updated, it’s possible to activate
GLONASS and SBAS at the same time.
Fig. 4 shows the prefered GNSS receiver
conguration in areas where EGNOS is
available.

TEST CANBUS AND CAMERA
To test the CANBUS and camera input requires some hardware. You may already have access to some of it, e.g.
via a Section Control Module , Smart cable, camera etc.
If you need help to identify hardware to establish a‘Test tool’, please contact TeeJet Technologies - Technical
Support. Below is shown an example how to test the CANBUS.

Turn on the Matrix with the Section Driver Module connected as shown (See g. 5) and check in the
‘Cong->Implement’ page (See red circle). If it’s possible to select the number of sections, the CANBUS and it’s
connections are ok. In the same way it’s easy to test the camera input, just connecting a camera.
