Product Overview
General Information
The GPS 1000 Plus is an all in the antenna DGPS receiver that provides position data for operations that do not require sub-meter position accuracy or guidance. The GPS 1000 Plus utilizes differential correction from the WAAS satellite differential system. The GPS 1000 Plus provides 2-meter accuracy when using WAAS differential and 4 meter accuracy without any differential correction.
The GPS 1000 Plus is a valuable addition for general data logging such as soil sample collection, scouting, site verification or as a GPS receiver for yield mapping.
The GPS 1000 Plus has the ability to output a radar speed signal into your controller or other equipment that accepts radar speed input. Adaptor cables are available through Ag Leader Technology for Hiniker, Raven, and Dickey-John radar guns.
The GPS 1000 Plus is weatherproof and protected against power surges that are common on agricultural equipment. The GPS 1000 Plus is also backed by a 2-year warranty.
Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) differential correction is an alternative to subscription based satellite differential correction.
The GPS 1000 Plus requires no initial setup to begin fieldwork. The PF3000, (Figure 1), YM 2000, (Figure 2), or Insight yield monitor will display a "D" or "G" on the top right hand corner of the display to indicate a GPS signal. A "D" indicates that a differential signal is being received. A "G" indicates that you have a GPS signal and your GPS receiver is tracking four or more satellites (which means you can get an elevation reading). A lower case "g" indicates that you have a GPS signal but your GPS receiver is tracking only three satellites which means you can not get an elevation reading. Your GPS receiver must track four or more satellites to get an elevation reading.
The unit is defaulted to 4800-baud, 8, N, 1 output. One position is output per second using GGA and VTG NMEA messages by default.
IMPORTANT: WAAS is currently free of charge, and is being funded by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). WAAS is currently in test mode, and Ag Leader Technology can not guarantee the availability or quality of its position signals. Only two (2) WAAS satellites are currently covering North America.

Parts, Tools for Antenna Installation
Installing the Antenna on Combine or Tractor
Installing with antenna magnet:
Installing antenna with L-bracket:
The following parts and tools are needed to install the antenna and its bracket:
5/16 in. self tapping bolts L-bracket or 5/16 in. bolts with serrated nuts Antenna/Receiver
1/4 in. drill bit for thin metal Marker or 9/32 in. for thicker metal Punch
Power/Data Cable
Three white cable tie-downs
with self tapping screws
Three white cable tie-downs
The antenna magnet is very powerful and will stick securely to any metal surface. If needed, an L-bracket for mounting the antenna is provided. The L-bracket is used for mounting the antenna (especially on combines) but not necessary.
Determine a mounting location that is in the center of the swath and the highest point of the vehicle. Ensure that no part of the machine is blocking a clear view of the sky to the antenna. Ensure the antenna is mounted low enough so it won't be knocked off when pulling the vehicle into the shed. Find a mounting location that if it does get struck it can slide off.
Step Action
1 Locate a flat metal surface on the vehicle; set the antenna
on it ensuring the magnet adheres securely.
2 Ensure you leave some slack in the cable between the
antenna connection and first tie down. Route cable to cab using cable tie-downs every 12-18 inches to secure cable.
Step Action
1 Place the top surface of the bracket 1/4-in. above the top of
the highest metal surface of the vehicle. This ensures the antenna is the highest point of the vehicle and can slide off if struck.

Radar Speed
Radar Speed Compatibility
Radar Speed Default Settings
The GPS 1000 Plus is capable of outputting a simulated radar speed pulse. This simulates a similar pulse output that you would receive from a standard radar gun. The GPS 1000 Plus provides the capability to provide simulated radar speed to your YM2000, PF3000, PF3000 Pro, PF Advantage, or Insight display. To use the radar speed input with an Ag Leader display, you must set the speed input to RADAR under the appropriate setup screen for the monitor/display. Additional cables will also be required to obtain the simulated speed output. Contact Ag Leader’s Technical support team for these additional cables.
Adaptor cables are available through Ag Leader Technology for the following three radar gun brands Dickey-John, Raven, and Hiniker. These adaptor cables provide the ability to use the GPS 1000 Plus in place of a radar gun. If using the GPS 1000 Plus as a stand-alone antenna, you will need to obtain an Auxiliary Power/Data Cable, GPS power supply cable listed on page 15, and the appropriate Radar Speed Adaptor Cable.
The default output parameter provided in the GPS 1000 Plus is a minimum output speed of .5 MPH, meaning speed pulses will not be output below this speed. The default radar pulse output rate is 45 Hz per MPH.

Troubleshooting
Problem Cause Solution
I lose "D" around buildings when using WAAS Differential
I'm connected to the GPS 1000 Plus but am not getting position data.
The following is a list of problems that you may encounter with the GPS 1000 Plus and suggestions for troubleshooting. If you have a problem with the system, please review the list before calling Ag Leader Technology. If your troubleshooting does not solve the problem, please call Technical Support at Ag Leader Technology (515-232-5363 ext. 1).
WAAS signal isn't being transmitted.
The WAAS satellite you are using is being blocked.
Bad Cable or dirty/wet connector pins
The output settings of the GPS have changed.
No Power

is damaged.
Troubleshooting
Go to Raytheons website (wwws.raytheontands.com/waas/) and check the current status of WAAS transmission.
There are only two (2) WAAS satellites that are low on the East and West horizon. Building and tree lines can easily block the signal.
Check to make sure the cable isn't damaged and that the connector is clean and dry.
Connect the GPS 1000 Plus to a PC using the Aux. Power/Data cable and run the GPS 1000 Plus utilities program. Set the outputs to what is required for your operation.
Verify that you are properly connected to a power source.
