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

[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.

4 Configuring the Receiver

4.1 EGNOS

To configure the EGNOS settings on the

FM-1000 screen firstly ensure that the

firmware is the latest release (Version 4.0).

Having the latest level of Firmware is

enough to ensure that the correct EGNOS

settings are being used. From the Home

screen choose the 'Spanner icon' and then

on the right hand corner press 'Configure'.

Shown in figure 4.1, from the

'Corrections' drop down box choose

WAAS or SBAS depending on the level of

firmware installed in the screen.

4.2 OmniSTAR

Go to the 'GPS Receiver Settings' screen

as shown in figure 4.2. This is the same

screen used for choosing the EGNOS and

RTK correction. From the corrections drop

down box choose 'Omni*' 'XP or HP'

which ever has been subscribed to.

I. OmniSTAR ID/Free Demo Signal

The OmniSTAR ID can be located in the

'Support tab' on the home screen. This ID

is used to receive an OmniSTAR signal and

an OmniSTAR demo signal.

To receive an OmniSTAR demo signal, ring

+31703170900 and quote the OmniSTAR

ID number, the location, the company and

the reason for the demo signal. Either HP

or XP can be chosen.

Figure 4.1

Figure 4.2


11

The signal will last for 3 days. Please

refer to section 3B about receiving an

OmniSTAR signal.

II. Convergence Time

To default setting for the OmniSTAR

convergence time is 30cm. To prevent

long convergence times and frequent

drop outs from starting work earlier in the

it is possible to increase the convergence

time to 150cm. Doing this allows the

operator to start working earlier in the

day without having to wait for the signal

to fully converge. This can be done by

going to the RDI screen.

4.3 RTK

Going to the 'GPS Receiver Settings'

screen as shown in figure 4.4. Choose RTK

from the drop down menu, and then

choosing the Channel ID number with is

located directly below. Choosing the

'Frequencies' tab the channel settings are

located here. Selecting ‘Add/Edit’ and

then entering the relevant RTK frequency

ID that the customer wants to pick up.

4.4 VRS

Please refer to the 'VRS Installation

Guide' which can be located from the

assist home page.

Figure 4.3

Figure 4.4

5. Installation of Equipment

5.1 Correctly mounting the Antenna

The antenna should be mounted on the

roof of the cab, in the centreline and as

far forward as possible (without blocking

the signal). The blue square shown in

[Figure 4.1] displays where the antenna

should be mounted. The antenna must be

mounted as far forward as possible

because once the tractor goes off line the

further forward the antenna is the sooner

the FM-1000/EZ Steer can correct the

error.

5.2 Upgrading the Antenna

At EGNOS level the FM-1000 comes with

an Ag15 Antenna. In order to receive an

OmniSTAR signal the FM-1000 receiver

will have to be upgraded from an EGNOS

level to an RTK level. Included in the

upgrade is the Unlock code and the

upgraded Z+ antenna because the Ag15

antenna can't receive an OmniSTAR signal.

When the screen is further unlocked to

receive GLONASS satellites, also included

in the unlock code is the upgraded

ZEPHER(Ag25) antenna. This is the only

antenna which can be used to receive GPS

and GLONASS satellites. GLONASS cannon

must be used when receiving an EGNOS

signal because EGNOS only works on GPS

satellites

[Figure 5.1]

[Figure 5.2]

5.3 Mounting the screen

If the FM-1000 screen is being used as

a Lightbar then it is recommended

that the LB25 External Lightbar is

mounted to the front windscreen

using a suction cup shown in [Figure

5.3]. The part number for the 'LB25

External Lightbar' suction cup is

87301269.

If the FM-1000 screen is being used

on AutoPilot/EZ Steer then the most

convenient way of mounting the

screen is to fix it to the bracket on the

right hand door shown in [Figure 5.4].

This is an ideal location for AutoPilot

and EZ Steer, also the engage button

is in a more convenient location.

[Figure 5.5] shows the screen

mounted at the end of the right hand

arm rest.

Another convenient way of mounting

the screen is to use a Baler Bar. This is

shown in [Figure 5.6]

Figure 5.3

6. Screen Add On's

6.1 Connecting EZ Steer

Figure 5.1 shows how to connect the Fm-

1000 integrated display with the EZ-Steer

assisted system. There are two add on

cables needed to connect the EZ Steer

system to the FM-1000 that are not

included in the EZ Steer kit. These are

shown as number 6 and number 7 in

[Figure 5.1].

I. No 6 P/N - ZTN75742

II. No 7P/N - ZTN67259

Note: Please ensure that the FM-1000 to EZ

Steer cable is plugged in to 'port C' only on

the back of the FM-1000 screen, using other

ports could damage to the FM-1000.

6.2 Coverage Switch

The switch must make and break the

connection on pins 10 and 11 on the FmX

port connector.

Connect pin A of the switch to pin 10 of

the 12-pin Deutsch connector on Port A or

Port B of the display.

Connect pin B of the switch to pin 11 of

the 12-pin Deutsch connector on Port A or

Port B of the display.

Doing this results in the connection being

made between pins 10 and 11 of Port A or

B of the display when the implement is

raised or lowered.

6.4 NMEA Out

The NMEA message formats are a

standard format through which GPS

receivers can communicate. If you have

an external device connected to the

AgGPS Autopilot controller, you can

enable NMEA message output from the

controller so that the device receives

NMEA GPS positions. The messages are

output through the Nav Controller

harness laptop connector. Some GPS

receivers can output NMEA messages to

an external device.

To do this:

I. On the Configuration screen, select the

appropriate GPS Receiver plug-in and

then tap Setup. The GPS Receiver Settings

screen appears.

II. Tap NMEA Output:

III. Select the appropriate Message Rate and

then the Baud Rate.

IV. In the Messages Enabled group, select the

appropriate NMEA message types to

output. Do not just enable all formats.

V. Tap OK to continue.

Note – To enable NMEA output from another

receiver ( for example, the GPS receiver

connected to an AgGPS TrueTracker system

controller), select the plug-in for that

receiver in the plug-in list.
