Setting Up Implement GPS Offsets

PC11841-UN-23MAR09

GPS Offsets

A - In-line distance from connection point to GPS receiver.

B - Lateral distance from implement center to GPS receiver.

C - Vertical distance from GPS receiver to ground with implement engaged.

D - Lateral offset toggle button

E - Verify implement fore/aft and offsets in the StarFire setup pages.

Offsets “A”, “B”, and “C” are critical for iGuide to operate efficiently.

Receiver Offsets

Measuring in line dimension from receiver to receiver:

Measure the distance between the vehicle receiver to the implement receiver and compare with the sum of offsets “B” and “C” from Vehicle Offset page and dimension “A” from the Implement Receiver Offset page. The distance between and the distance found in adding these three offsets, should match.

Example:

• Distance between vehicle and implement receivers is 647.7 cm (255 in.).
• Offsets:

  Offset “A” is 342.9 cm (135 in.)

  Offset “B” is 139.7 cm (55 in.)

  Offset “C” is 165.1 cm (65 in.)

  Total: 647.7 cm (255 in.)

  NOTE: When measuring distance between vehicle and implement receivers, measure from middle of vehicle receiver to middle of implement receiver.
  NOTE: For articulated tractors, distance from receiver to connection point is “B” subtracted from “C” (Example: distance = “C” – “B” + “A”).
