StarFire™ Receiver

StarFire™ Receiver

Active Implement Guidance requires two StarFire™ Receivers for operation.

  • StarFire™ Receivers are required for machine and implement.
  • Both receivers must have an RTK signal level unless shared signal is used. NOTE: For optimal performance, both receivers must be the same model.
  • Install implement receiver less than 4.0 m (13.1 ft.) above ground level.
  • Implement receiver must be connected to machine’s implement CAN Bus through ISO connector.

Shared Signal

NOTE: Shared signal engages automatically after setup of system is complete. It is not possible to engage or disengage shared signal.

When using shared signal with RTK, machine receiver must have an RTK radio installed. Implement receiver does not require RTK activation or radio when utilizing shared signal.

If Active Implement Guidance and iGrade™ are used, shared signal does not function if an iGrade™ function is active.

A - Linked Receiver Implement Page

B - Linked Guidance View Page

Shared signal allows Active Implement Guidance to share the correction signal from machine receiver with implement receiver.

Shared signal automatically links and operates with Active Implement Guidance when the following requirements are met:

  • StarFire™ 3000 Receivers on machine and implement.
  • GreenStar™ 3 2630 Display.
  • SF2 or RTK activation on machine receiver.
  • SF1, SF2, or RTK on implement receiver.
  • Only Implement Steer or Implement Shift function is selected.
  • Fore and aft values for implement receiver are set to 0.
  • Latest software updates on display, receivers, and application controller.

Accuracy Warning

Shared signal automatically uses machine correction signal. Install receiver with higher correction signal on machine. If correction signal is higher on implement receiver, Receiver Accuracy Warning is displayed.

NOTE: Accuracy warning does not disable shared signal.
