900 MHz RTK—Base Station Setup

System Overview

The StarFire™ RTK system consists of a local base station placed in a eld or mounted on a structure that transmits high accuracy corrections to the vehicle StarFire receiver using RTK radios. The StarFire receiver on the RTK-equipped vehicle must have a direct line of sight with the base station in order to receive the RTK signal.

Performance of the RTK system is related to the operating distance from the base station. When operating beyond 20 km (12 miles), degraded accuracy will occur and it may take longer to initially acquire the RTK signal.

A repeater, which is simply an RTK radio supplied with 12 volts of power, can be used to receive the base station signal and establish a new line of sight point. However, performance limitations can still be expected if trying to use the repeater to transmit the RTK signal to a vehicle that is farther than 20 km (12 miles) away from the base station.

NOTE: Old antennas from past receivers are not

compatible with the StarFire 3000 receiver.

Receiver—On Vehicle

Position receiver with integrated RTK radio module is located on top of machine. Position receiver receives global positioning and differential correction signal through a single receiver and integrates signal for use with system.

PC12123 —UN—11JUN09

The receiver has a dedicated operating mode (Vehicle Mode). Refer to “Operating Mode—RTK” in “StarFire 3000” Section for setup of the receiver on vehicle.

IMPORTANT: The antenna must be installed before

the radio module is powered ON.

Avoid water intrusion by keeping the antenna attached whenever possible.

Removing the antenna while transmitting may damage the radio module.

NOTE: Actual receiver position may vary with the use of

an Original Shroud or Deluxe Shroud bracket.

900 MHz RTK—Base Station Setup

Receiver—On Base Station

The base station is the most critical part of an RTK system. During installation, care must be taken to ensure the base has problem-free operation. There are two issues that are responsible for most problems with a base station: Shading and Multipathing. If a base station experiences one of these problems, it could be detrimental to your RTK operation. Although it may not be possible to locate a base station in an ideal location, this guide is aimed at helping to dene the best option available.

Base station operating mode can be either Absolute Survey Base Mode or Quick survey Base Mode. Refer to “Operating Mode—RTK” in “StarFire 3000” Section for setup of the receiver on base station.

Refer to “Base Station Operation and Setup” in “StarFire 3000” Section for proper use and setup of the base station.

Repeater Radio

The radio can be congured to act separately as a repeater. A repeater is required if obstructions (i.e. trees, hills, etc.) exist between the base station and vehicle(s) or if base station is too far away from the vehicles.

A repeater consists of:

IMPORTANT: A repeater can only be used to repeat

a signal from a base station to a vehicle. Therefore, a repeater cannot be used in a ''daisy chain,'' repeating the signal from one repeater to another.

Refer to “Repeater—RTK” in “StarFire 3000” Section to properly congure radio as repeater.

900 MHz RTK—Base Station Setup

Installation of the RTK radio and antenna

After installing the base station receiver, installing the radio in a location to best maximize the output can be a challenge. Below are four options currently available through John Deere.

Leave the RTK radio in its original conguration

•

attached directly behind the base station receiver.

- Use a repeater as part of the base station. Install a radio with the base station receiver.

- Install a Repeater radio (available through whole goods or parts) in an elevated location.

The base station will then send the RTK data to the

•

repeater and the repeater will then transmit that data out to the repeater , and vehicle on the network. This will eliminate other repeaters in the system.

NOTE: Additional repeaters cannot be run off of the

central repeater. In areas with heavy foliage or uneven terrain, this setup method is not advised.

Use 92 m (300 ft) extension harness PF80821 to move

•

the radio from the back of the base station receiver to an elevated position.

NOTE: Use extension harness PF80821.

Use installation instructions provided with extension harness PF80821 to ensure proper grounding and wiring according to the installation instructions. This harness has built in protection for both the radio and receiver for unwanted static electricity developed on the harness.

Attach the RTK radio in a safe and unobstructed

•

location, Connect radio and antenna using coaxial cable.

IMPORTANT: The antenna must be installed before

the radio module is powered ON.

Avoid water intrusion by keeping the antenna attached to the radio whenever possible.

Removing the antenna while transmitting may damage the radio module.

IMPORTANT: If using a coaxial cable between the

radio and antenna, use the lowest-loss cable available to avoid RTK radio link range issues.

NOTE: When using this option, it may be

necessary to install a higher-gain antenna to compensate for loss.

NOTE: Old antennas from past receivers are not

compatible with the StarFire 3000 receiver.

Always mount the radio antenna vertically to make sure that the RTK signal is radiating outwards. If the antenna is at an angle, it may cause the data received at the vehicle to be lower than expected.

Installing and operation of the Base Station Receiver.

The base station is the most critical part of the RTK operation. Setting up a base station correctly is vital to the operation of the RTK system. If the Base Station Receiver is setup in a questionable location, the receiver could have two separate issues; Shading and Multipathing.

Shading:

To ensure proper operation of a RTK base station, the GPS Receiver must have a clear view of the sky in all

directions above 5 degrees off the horizon. Both the base receiver and the vehicle receiver will use any satellites that are above 5 degrees off the horizon. If a base station receiver cannot use a satellite above 5 degrees, then all vehicles operating on that base station also cannot use that blocked satellite. This is called Shading of the base station. If enough shading occurs, the RTK system may become inaccurate. Many things can cause shading, such as buildings, towers, poles, and grain legs.

900 MHz RTK—Base Station Setup

When selecting a base station location, there are three main points to look for: rigidity, good view of the sky, and few reective objects. The base station provides corrections to the vehicle receiver based on the xed known position which is surveyed in with an absolute survey or quick survey. Any motion of the base station receiver will translate directly to the vehicle position. Mount the base station on a rigid structure, such as the pole in the photo. When mounting on a structure such as a building, the receiver should generally be installed 2 meters above the highest point.

Multipathing

Signal reections are another important error source for base stations that should be minimized. Reected signals also reach the base station receiver and make the satellite range measurement longer. Reections can even interfere with the direct signal enough so that the receiver will temporarily lose lock on the satellite. Metal buildings, chain-link fences, and bodies of water are all good reectors that can make a base station less reliable. Take care to place your base station receiver far away from strong reectors for reliable base station operation.

A base station should have a continuous 12V power source such as an AC/DC converter to power the base station. A battery back-up is recommended to keep the base station running in the case of power outages for dependable operation.

NOTE: The AC/DC converter is not supplied

A—Horizontal Precision (m) B—Maximum PDOP Value

The Position Dilution of Precision (PDOP) is likely one of the most critical GPS AutoTrac values to monitor. As the PDOP value increases, both the horizontal and vertical precision (guidance accuracy) of your data points decreases.

To help illustrate this relationship, please review the graph, which plots the PDOP value against the horizontal precision points collected on and around the University of Montana campus. Ten locations were collected to serve

as ground control points to register an April 4, 1999 aerial photograph of the University area. You can see that as the PDOP value climbs from a minimum of 1.15 to a maximum of approximately 4.5, the horizontal precision and accuracy decreases from about 1.15 meters to about

1.9 meters. PDOP values below 7 are generally required to collect data at a 1 meter accuracy range (as determined by the PDOP mask set on your data logger) and any value below 3.5 is considered in-range for AutoTrac applications.

The GS2 alerts the operator when the current StarFire signal is not accurate. There are three levels of this alarm system (Normal, Marginal, and Poor). The levels are determined both by the StarFire Receiver's PDOP value and the number of satellites being tracked. It is recommend that if the StarFire receiver is being used in high accuracy operations that care be taken when the StarFire Signal Monitoring system indicates that the current status is Marginal or Poor, as accuracy degradation may occur.

PC9554 —UN—10OCT07

NOTE: Operating in RTK or RTK-X, both PDOP and

“Number of Satellites” are used to determine the level of alarm.

Operating at a signal level less than RTK (SF2, SF1, WAAS, ect.) only PDOP will be used to determine the level of alarm.

In order to maintain a good RTK Radio link, the antenna must be mounted high enough to radiate over the earth’s curvature and any obstacles. As shown in the gure, the curve of the earth can block the signal from the RTK link. If the radiating base station radio antenna is mounted too low, the broadcasting range will be drastically reduced.

Specic Tower Setup Information

It is recommended that the receiver be, at minimum, 9.1 m (30 ft) away from the tower to prevent both Shading and Multipathing. This distance may vary depending on the frame design of the tower or structure that you are mounting it around.

When using the 91 m (300 ft) extension harness, do not cut the harness to the length needed. This harness has built in voltage protection and is shielded. Cutting the harness will limit the effectiveness of the harness and will cause failures of either the radio or the receiver due to static electricity build up on the harness. This harness

900 MHz RTK—Base Station Setup

Utilizing A Repeater

This base station setup allows the placement of the receiver and radio in a location with no obstructions. A repeater, with its own power source, is placed at an elevated location. The base station radio sends its signal up to the repeater and the repeater then sends out the signal.

NOTE: With this type of base station setup, no other

repeaters can be used with the base station.

PC8761 —UN—16SEP05

JS56696,000080B -19-15APR10-1/1

Leaving The Radio And Receiver As A Single Unit

This base station setup keeps the receiver and radio as a single unit usually mounted in an elevated location.

IMPORTANT: Receiver must have a clear view of the

sky and must be free of Multipathing.

The receiver must not move. Any movement of the receiver will result in movement of the vehicle receivers.

Shared Base Station RTK Security

900 MHz RTK—GS2 Display

Shared Base Station (SBS) RTK Security is security from unwanted users accessing a SBS RTK Network. This security feature keeps unauthorized RTK vehicles from accessing RTK corrections from the base station by granting access to only those RTK vehicles on an access list.

Compatibility

Base Station This security feature is not available on

original StarFire receivers being used as base stations.

RTK Vehicle It is compatible with original StarFire, StarFire iTC, and StarFire 3000 receivers being used as RTK vehicles.

Locating RTK Vehicle Receiver Serial Number

Software Versions Original StarFire Receiver – requires

software version of 7.50x or greater. StarFire iTC Receiver – requires software version of 2.50x or greater.

Theory of Operation

The SBS RTK Network operator will enter into the base station the serial numbers of RTK vehicle receivers that are allowed to access the RTK corrections from that base station. RTK vehicle serial numbers can be added and removed at any time with an original GreenStar Display. Only those rover serial numbers that are on the access list on the base station receiver will be allowed to access the RTK corrections from the base station.

RTK Vehicle Security Status

The RTK Vehicle (when operating off of a Secure Network ID) will exist in one of the three following RTK authorization states: Unknown, Authorized, or Not Authorized.

These states are displayed in one or more of the following locations depending on display and receiver used:

(Displayed on INFO – GPS – PAGE 3 (StarFire 3000) or PAGE 5 (Original StarFire) or Cell G on GSD or on Cell G of the Original GreenStar Monitor on a GS2 display).

Unknown – The RTK Vehicle StarFire, upon power up, is in an “unknown” RTK authorization state. It will exist in this state until communication with the base station is established. No message will be displayed in cell G of the GreenStar Display.

Authorized – On power-up of a RTK Vehicle StarFire that is properly congured and on the authorization list, the message “RTK Network: Authorized” will be displayed in cell G as soon as it establishes communication with the secure RTK base station, and it determines that it is authorized to receive RTK corrections.

Unauthorized – On power-up of a RTK Vehicle StarFire that is properly congured, but the serial number has not been entered into the base station RAL, the message “RTK Network: Not Authorized” will be displayed in cell G as soon as it establishes communication with the secure RTK base station, and it determines that it is not authorized to receive RTK corrections.
