VII. Variable Rate & Section Control

3.2 Upgrading to OmniSTAR

Figure 3.1

 The EGNOS to OmniSTAR Part Number is

with SAP. Then he must send an e-mail to

[e-mail] with

following information :

I. Serial number of the screen

II. CNH part number

A minimum of 2 full days is necessary to

send back the Upgrade code. Also

Figure 3.2

Figure 3.4

included in the Upgrade is a new level

The "FM-1000 "How To Guide

 The Upgrade code must then be entered

in to the screen. Choosing the 'Support'

tab on the 'Home' screen and pressing the

'Unlocks' button and choosing the correct

unlock feature

Note: The serial number asked for on the

OmniSTAR order form is the OmniSTAR User

ID number and not the screen serial number,

both are on the 'Support' Tab on the home

screen, shown in [Figure 3.2] & [Figure 3.3].

3.3 Upgrading to RTK

 The RTK upgrade code can be received

using the same method as that of EGNOS

to OmniSTAR. The same antenna used for

OmniSTAR can be used for RTK. The FM-

1000 needs an ‘Internal radio module

Figure 3.4

Figure 3.5

450-470’ to pick up the RTK signal. If the

FM-1000 has got the 450-470 radio

module it will have a sticker. If the FM-

1000 screen doesn't have the 450-470

radio, see the installing Radio module

section below.

Note: If the VRS Ag3000 modem is being

used then the FM-1000 will not need the

radio module. It will only need to be

unlocked to a RTK level.
