Bracket
The window mount bracket for the Add-On GPS 3000/3050/3100, will
provide a very secure mounting for the PF3000 ONLY IF the window
glass surface is chemically cleaned. Some installers have reported
problems with the adhesive strips coming off the glass. This is a
problem only if the glass was not properly cleaned and dry. Follow
Steps 1 through 6 to ensure the glass is clean and dry for installation:
Step Action
1 In humid conditions where moisture may condense on the
glass, run the air conditioner on a medium to warm
temperature setting to fill the cab with dry air. Run air
conditioner until the glass is dry.
2 Determine the position for the window bracket on the
window.
3 Using a clean, unused paper towel, wipe off an area of the
window larger than where you have determined is proper
position for the bracket.
4 When the glass is visually clean, use one of the provided
alcohol swabs to wipe a slightly smaller area.
5 Before the alcohol dries, use a clean, unused paper towel
to wipe off the area.
6 Repeat Steps 4 and 5, so the glass has been cleaned twice
with alcohol swabs.

Antenna
Installation
Before mounting the Add-On GPS 3000/3050/3100 on your vehicle, the
user should test the system in the planned installation location. Turn on
all accessories or features of the vehicle that use electrical power,
examples being lights, air-conditioners, etc. In order to determine your
signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) while installing your antenna, you must be on
the GPS Diagnostic screen of the PF3000. To view this screen:
Step Action
1 Plug antenna jack into GPS unit.
2 Press the Menu key until DIAG is displayed and press DIAG
Key.
3 Press GPS key. NOTE: An example of the GPS Diagnostic
screen (Figure 1) is shown below.
4 If the SNR drops below 6 or is lost completely, move the
antenna to a location where the signal is not as affected by
the interference. Moving the antenna horizontally or
vertically between 1 to 3 ft will usually eliminate the
problem.
5 Once you have completed positioning your antenna push
EXIT key.

Installing the
Antenna 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
• ¼ in. drill bit for thin metal • Marker
or 9/32 in. for thicker metal • Punch
• 15 ft coaxial cable • Hand drill
• Three white cable tie-downs
with self tapping screws
• Three white cable tie-downs
Follow these steps to attach the L-bracket to the grain tank or bin
extension (whichever is on your combine).
Step Action
1 Center the L-bracket on the combine making sure that it is
in the center of header. If you are installing on a vehicle
other than a combine, you may or may not be able to use
the L-bracket. Make sure, though, that the antenna is in the
center of the swath.
2 Place the top surface of the bracket about ¼ in. above the
top of the highest metal surface of the vehicle so that the
antenna is the highest point of the vehicle and can slide off
if struck.
3 After you site this position, place the L-bracket against the
metal surface, mark and punch the places you will be
drilling.

below and 6 in. to right of the L-bracket.
NOTE: you may need to increase the above distances,
depending on the type of grain extension you are using.
4 Place another white tie-down 3 to 5 ft. to the right of the
first tie-down.
5 Use a cable tie and attach the coaxial cable to the first
white tie-down leaving some slack in cable between
antenna connection and tie down to allow for strain relief if
the antenna is knocked off the L-bracket.
6 Use another cable tie to attach the cable to the second tie-
down.
7 Route cable to cab using cable tie-downs to secure cable.

Routing the Cable
to the Cab
You will need the following parts and tools to route the coaxial cable into
the combine:
• Bulkhead connector (threaded on both ends)
• ½ in. drill bit
• Power drill
Follow these steps to route cable to the cab:
Step Action
1 Find a place on the right side or bottom of the cab to route
coaxial cable into cab (the point of entry is up to you).
IMPORTANT: Do NOT route cable through a door or
window because this will crimp the cable and ruin it.
2 Find a sit to drill where you will not drill into any cabling
or hoes; then drill a hole with the 1/2 in. bit.
NOTE: Make sure before you drill that:
•
The coaxial cable will reach to the site you have
chosen.
•
That you do not bend the cable at a 90-degree
angle.
3 Thread bulkhead connector through hole, so that the
threaded end to which you attach the lock washer and jam
nut is inside cab.
NOTE: For JD9000 series combines, a rubber grommet is
included to mount the bulkhead connector through cab
wall plate. Use auxiliary hole in the plate or drill a new
hole if the auxiliary hole is in use.
4 Attach the coaxial cable from the antenna to the outside
end of the connector.

Overview
General
Information
The Add-On GPS 3000/3050/3100 requires no initial setup to begin
fieldwork. The PF3000 will display a “D” or “G” on the top right hand
corner of the display to indicate a GPS signal. A “D” indicates that you
have a differential signal. A “G” indicates that you have a GPS signal
and your GPS receiver is tracking four or more satellites. A lower case
“g” indicates that you have a GPS signal but your GPS receiver is
tracking only three satellites. Your GPS receiver must track four or more
satellites to get an elevation reading. You may wish to use the GPS to
show your ground speed, which requires changing the ground speed
sensor settings. Refer to Primary and Secondary Speed Sensor under
Vehicle Setup in the PF3000 Operator’s manual for instructions.
NOTE: WAAS is an optional feature now available for use with
the Add-On GPS. Contact Ag Leader Technical Support at 515232-5363 for more information on this capability.

Manual.
• Auto Range: This is the default setting. In this setting the receiver
keeps a record of the closest three beacons within the receivers
range. It then selects a beacon based on the ranking of the beacon
in memory.
• Auto Power: The receiver keeps a record of the three strongest
beacons in its range. It then selects a beacon based on the ranking
of the available beacons.
• Manual: Allows you to input frequencies for two beacons.
To change Beacon Selection complete the following steps:
Step Action
1 Press Menu key on PF3000 until SETUP is displayed and
press SETUP.

GPS Speed: Current speed of the receiver in miles-per-hour.
Number of Satellites: Indicates the number of satellites the unit
is using. The unit can track a maximum of twelve satellites.
Differential Status: Indicates ON or OFF, telling you whether a
differential signal is being used.
Beacon/Satellite Frequency: Indicates the frequency of the
differential source that the GPS is using of the location of the
differential source.
Differential SNR: Signal-to-noise-ration (SNR) indicates the
strength of the correction signal in relation to the amount of
background noise that can interfere with signal reception. A good
SNR is 10 to 18.
HDOP/PDOP: Horizontal Dilution of Precision (HDOP)
indicates the quality of the horizontal GPS position. Position
Dilution of Precision (PDOP) is a unitless measure indicating
when the satellite geometry can provide the most accurate results.
When satellites are spread around the sky, the PDOP value is low
and the computed position is more accurate. When satellites are
grouped close together the PDOP is high and the positions are
less accurate.
Antenna/Receiver Voltage: An antenna/receiver voltage of 5 or
higher indicates that the antenna is not plugged into the GPS
receiver. When the antenna is properly installed, the voltage
should read .5 or less.

The Add-On GPS
3000/3050/3100 will
not stay locked on a
beacon and switches
erratically back and
forth from one beacon
to another.
The following is a list of problems that you may encounter with the AddOn GPS 3000/3050/3100 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).
• A strong
thunderstorm or
disturbance is near
or located between
antenna and
differential source.
• You are in a fringe
area for reception.
• Interference from
your vehicle or
machinery.
• Either one or more
of the beacons has
an unhealthy or
unmonitored status
or there is a large
amount of
interference in the
signal from a
certain beacon.
• The thunderstorm must pass or
decrease in intensity.
• Determine if there are
thunderstorms in the vicinity or
call Ag Leader Technology to see
whether the beacon near you is
operational.
• Move the antenna to a position
where it is not as strongly
affected by the interference.
• Adjust your Age of Differential to
90 seconds or 250 seconds
depending on your firmware.
• Press the Menu key until SETUP
is displayed. Press SETUP key.
GPS is displayed. Press GPS key.
Scroll down to Beacon Mode, the
user has two options (See Beacon
Selection in General Information
section):
• Select Auto power
• Select Manual mode. Manual
mode is the best choice in this
case if the user has a beacon that
they know is providing a good
signal.
• Press the EXIT key. The display
returns to the startup screen and
within about one minute or less
the unit will lock on to the
selected frequency.

Troubleshooting
Problem Cause Solution
When the Add-On
GPS is used on a
vehicle, such as a
truck or car, the SNR
for the beacon being
used is very low or the
unit cannot lock on a
differential correction.
Antenna voltage
indicates 5 volts or
more.
Near dusk the Add-On
GPS loses differential
or switches erratically
from beacon to beacon
for about one halfhour.
When the lights on a
vehicle, specifically
the combine, are
turned on the SNR
value drops
considerably or
differential correction
is lost completely
Monitor dims when
using external power
source for PF3000.
After powering up the
PF3000 with Add-On
GPS you are unable to
enter the GPS setup
screen.
Add-On GPS 3000/3050/3100
• Electrical noise
generated by the
vehicles electrical
system.
• Loose connection.
• Antenna is
malfunctioning.
• Changes in
atmospheric
properties near
dusk affect signal
quality and can
induce skipping of
signals that usually
can be received.
• The load on he
electrical system
has increased and
noise has been
introduced into the
system.
• External power
source for PF3000
does not provide
enough power.
• PF3000 did not
properly detect the
Add-On GPS.
Ag Leader Technology
• Move the antenna to a location
that is not affected.
• Use a line filter on main power to
unit.
• Attach a 6 inch or 12 inch square
sheet of metal to the vehicle for
mounting the antenna on to aid in
blocking interference.
• Check bulkhead connection.
• Check antenna connections.
• Set unit in Manual Mode on the
BEACON OPTIONS screen to
help keep the correction the user
receivers more consistent. This is
an operational characteristic that
can not be eliminated.
• Check the alternator to see
whether it is in satisfactory
condition and whether its capacity
is correct for the loads it must
carry.
• New external power source is
available to support Add-On GPS
to PF3000.
• Power the PF3000 down and then
restart.
• Ensure the connector cable
between the PF300 and GPS is
properly connected.
• If these actions fail, please call
Technical Support at 515-232-
5363.
