Ag Leader GPS 1100 Operators Manual

Please Read

First!

The GPS 1100 default configuration of 4800 1Hz is set to work with all Ag

Leader monitors (YM2000, PF3000/3000Pro/Advantage and Insight.) If the

intended use of the GPS 1100 is for Direct Command application, it needs to

be configured to output 4hz. This configuration will allow the GPS 1100 to

output four positions per second using GGA and VTG NMEA messages.

Instructions for configuring the GPS 1100 can be found on page 8 of the

manual.

Product Overview

The GPS1000/GPS1000+/GPS1100 is an all in the antenna DGPS
receiver that provides position data for operations that do not require sub­meter position accuracy or guidance. The GPS1000/GPS1000+/GPS1100
utilizes differential correction from the WAAS satellite differential
system. The GPS1000/GPS1000+/GPS1100 provides 2-meter accuracy
when using WAAS differential and 4 meter accuracy without any
differential correction.

The GPS1000/GPS1000+/GPS1100 is a valuable addition for general
data logging such as soil sample collection, scouting, and site verification
or as a GPS receiver for yield mapping.

The GPS1000+/GPS1100 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 GPS1100 has the ability to be used in a Direct Command
application requiring a higher output rate. The GPS 1100 is
defaulted to output 1hz, but can be configured to output 4hz as
needed for Direct Command/Autoswath applications (See GPS 1100
Utility section). Four positions per second are outputted per second
using GGA and VTG NMEA messages with this configuration.

The GPS1000/GPS1000+/GPS1100 is weatherproof and protected
against power surges that are common on agricultural equipment. The
GPS1000/GPS1000+/GPS1100 is also backed by a 2-year warranty.

*NOTE – The GPS 1100 default configuration of 4800

1Hz is set to work with all Ag Leader monitors YM2000,
PF3000/3000Pro/Advantage and Insight.) If the

intended use of the GPS 1100 is for Direct Command,
which requires a higher output rate, the GPS 1100
WILL HAVE TO BE CONFIGURED TO DO SO. See

page 8 for instructions on how to configure the GPS
1100

General
Information

Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) differential correction is an
alternative to subscription based satellite differential correction.

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.

The GPS1000/GPS1000+/GPS1100 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 cannot 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, 1Hz output. One position is
output per second using GGA and VTG NMEA messages by default.
