Before installation:
• Please observe the maximum vibration and ambient temperature values indicated in chapter 10 Technical Data.
• Check that all parts needed are delivered. Refer to 2.2 Unpacking the Container for further information.
• It is strongly recommended that you bench test all components before commencing installation on the actual machine to make sure that all components are fully operational.

iCON gps 160 SmartAntenna Installation location: The iCON gps 160 SmartAntenna must be installed in the machine cabin itself. For easy mounting the optional Machine Bracket CMB3 is recommended.

The product must not be installed on the tool of the machine and/or on mechanical components that move the tool. Tools include for example bucket of excavator, blade of dozer, screed of paver. Mechanical parts include for example boom and stick of an excavator,
hydraulic cylinder of a dozer or tow arm of an asphalt paver. Further, the instrument must not be installed near chassis, chain gear, wheels or on engine components connected to the engine

Installation of a CGA100 GNSS antenna

For best results, it is recommended to mount the GNSS antenna in a way ensuring an unobstructed view of the sky.

Installation of antenna for internal radio

• External antennas with a magnetic mount can be used and installed on the roof of the cabin.
• This will increase the radio signal and therefore the reception of correction signals from a base station.

Cable installation 

• Ensure that cables between the iCON gps 160 SmartAntenna and the CGA100 antenna in particular are installed in a way that prevents them from getting bent and stretched.
• It is strongly recommended to use strain relief brackets.
• Route the cable as directly as possible and avoid crossing cables.
• Be sure not to tie the cables into “hot” hydraulic hoses.
