GPS-SAC Operation and Installation Manual

OverviewThe Reinke SAC GPS Guidance Option utilizes the Global Positioning System (GPS) for guidance instead ofthe traditional Buried Perimeter Wire. GPS is an aerospace technology that uses Satellites and groundequipment to determine a position anywhere on Earth.

First, the GPS Coordinates of the Field Boundaries and Pivot Center are gathered. This data is used by ReinkeEngineers to configure the GPS Path the Swing Span will follow. The GPS Path is then downloaded via USBDrive to the GPS Receiver in the S-Box on the Swing Span.

The Swing Span will now follow the GPS Path utilizing GPS Antennas mounted on the Pivot Center and SwingSpan. The GPS Antennas on the System receive data from the 24 GPS Satellites orbiting around the Earth.Each GPS Satellite transmits data that indicates its location and an accurate timing signal. All GPS Satellitessynchronize operations so the repeating signals are transmitted at the same time. The signals arrive at the GPSAntennas at slightly different times because they vary in distance from the Antennas.

The GPS Signal from the Satellites is great technology and to help make it even more precise Reinke has a twoAntenna system that when used properly corrects any differential errors. Since the Pivot Center GPS Antenna isstationary and knows its true position and the true position of each Satellite, it knows the true distance to eachSatellite. The Pivot Center GPS Antenna measures its distance from each satellite and then the Receivercalculates the differential difference and corrects. This is called Differential Correction. The selected Antennaon the Swing Arm subtracts the appropriate Differential Correction from the estimated distance to each Satellite,thus improving the position accuracy.

II GPS-SAC Operation and Installation Manual

The Reinke System is designed with many electrical and mechanical safety features. However, eachoperator must read and understand this and all other accompanying owners manuals for the safe andefficient operation of your Reinke System. If this System is operated incorrectly, it can pose a safety threatto the operator and others. The following is a list of safety operating tips which all service and operatingpersonnel must read and understand.

� The Safety Alert Symbolis displayed many placesthroughout this manualand on your System toindicate when thereis a potential forPersonal injury.

� Throughout this manual and on SystemD e c a l s , t h e w o rd s “ D A N G E R ” ,“WARNING”, and “CAUTION” are usedwith the Safety Alert Symbol to alert theoperator of potential hazards. “DANGER”identifies the most serious hazards.“DANGER” or “WARNING” safety signsidentify specific hazards. “CAUTION”signs identify specific safety instructions.

� The movement of an Electrically Powered,Gear-Driven, Irrigation System is relativelyslow. Moving parts are exposed and maypresent a potential hazard. Therefore, keepall equipment, vehicles, people, etc., out ofthe System’s path.

� DO NOT at tempt to per form anymaintenance procedures until the ReinkeMain Control Panel Disconnect Switch andall Pump and other Disconnect Switchesare locked in the “OFF” position.Electrical component trouble-shooting andreplacement should be performed by acertified Reinke Service Technician toensure built-in safety features remain intact.This also ensures System remains compliantwith the National Electric Code and ReinkeManufacturing Specifications.

System Safety

IIIGPS-SAC Operation and Installation Manual

� When towing a System from field to field,avoid ditches, rough terrain, overheadpower lines, etc. The Ground Wire MUSTbe re-attached to the Ground Rod andchecked for electrical integrity each timethe System is towed.

� Avoid any bodily contact with high pressurewater streams from Sprinklers and EndGuns.

� Keep away from fields where the System ischemigating. Make sure the appliedchemical and water does not blow or driftpast the area of intended operation. ACheck Valve must be installed between thePivot Center and the Pump to prevent themixture of water and chemical fromsiphoning back into the irrigation watersource. Comply with all local, state, andfederal regulations.

� Do not oversize Fuses. Fuses are sized for aspecific circuit. It is very important to makesure you have the proper fuse size in placebefore initially starting the System andwhen replacing Fuses.

� Do not operate System with water whentemperatures are below 40°F (4.5°C). Thiscan cause structural damage to the System.

� In most states it is unlawful to spray wateron state and county roadways. This is aserious hazard and must not be allowed.

� If your System is equipped with any Auto-Stop or Auto-Reverse Mechanism, makesure they are working correctly and aTower Barricade is properly installed asper this manual. Reinke disclaims anyand all liability (including any liabilitycreated pursuant to the IrrigationSystems Warranty) with regard todamage to the Irrigation System, or toother property, or personal injury ordeath, caused by improper installation ormaintenance of Reinke-supplied TowerAuto-Reverse or Auto-Stop Switches orTower Barricades, or by use of customer-supplied Barricades.

� Drive shafts may start without warning.Keep away from Drive shafts to preventclothing or limbs from being entangled,resulting in severe injury.

� Do not endanger your own life andpossibly the lives of others by beingnegligent.

Maintain adequate crop clearance. Allowingthe systems trussing to drag in the crop cancause structural damage to the system.

Understanding GPS Technology

Differential GPS uses one “rover” and one “base” to improve accuracy. Most errors can be corrected bythis method. Because the “base” is at a known location like the pivot center. GPS errors will be detectedand corrections will be sent to the “rover in the S-Box giving it the accuracy that is required to guide theswing arm.

When the distance to three or more satellites are known the receiver can calculate a location. The moresatellites that are picked up by the receiver the faster the system will lock-in and the calculated locationwill be more accurate.

Reinke GPS takes this technology to a whole new level. Reinke uses differential GPS with “RTK” whichallows accuracy to 1 cm. GPS coordinates are recorded by the dealer and sent to Reinke Manufacturingwhere the guidance path is created and recorded onto a flash drive. Then the information is downloadedinto the GPS receiver for that system.

Corrections are sent from the base to the rover via a data cable or with radios at the base and rover. If aradio is installed at the base, more SAC machines and GPS laterals may be installed to a maximum of twomiles, with standard radios and clear line of sight.

Installation System Start-UpAfter all hardware is installed on the system, the GPS coordinates from page 6 have been recorded and sent toReinke Manufacturing, Reinke will create a path for the swing arm and return it to the dealer via email in afile called “path.dat”.

1. The dealer will make a back-up file of the “path.dat” file using a USB flash drive which will be used toload the path.dat file to the receiver.

2. Reinke Mfg., recommends utilizing three people for starting this type of system.3. Utilizing one person at the main control panel, one watching the hinge and one watching the swing tower.

Communication is vital at this point between all three by radio or cell phone.4. Turn the percent timer in the main control panel to zero percent. (2% for RAMS system)5. Start the system for a few seconds in each direction to check system phasing on the parent system.6. Insert the USB Flash drive containing the path.dat file into the GPS receiver in the S-Box.7. Copy the “path.dat” file to the Receiver (see “USB” Interface Instructions pages 18-20).7. Install the jumpers in the S-Box as shown on pages 15, 16 and 17 to set the Safety Bypass on Basic

SAC systems only. For Accu-Corner jumpers see pages 18 & 19.8. With the percent timer set to zero percent press the start button and watch the screen on the SAC GPS

Receiver in the S-Box until the screen reads “FIXED”. This may take several minutes.9. Look at the number on the lower left of the display to determine the location of the path, use the steering

contacts in the S-Box to point the tires so you can drive the swing tower to the path.10. Look at the number on the lower left side of the display to determine the location of the path.11. As you move the tires see that the distance from the path becomes less. This will allow the installer to

check phasing on the steering motor and routing of the antenna cables.12. Before turning the percent timer up, bump the S-tower drive contactor to check phasing on the swing

tower drive motors.13. Determine whether the system has a Leading or Trailing swing arm by standing at pivot center facing the

end of system if the arm is Left of the parent system it is a Trailing swing arm and if it is to theRight it is a Leading swing arm. It is crucial to know which swing arm is on the system when moving theswing arm to the path.

14.For a Trailing swing arm that is inside path (a negative number on lower left side of screen) move thesystem in reverse to allow the steering limit to prevent over steer. If the swing arm is outside (apositive number on lower left side of screen) of the path, move the system in forward.For a Leading swing arm that is inside path (a negative number on lower left side of screen) move thesystem in forward to allow the steering limit to prevent over steer. If the swing arm is outside the path(a positive number on lower left side of screen) move the system in reverse.

15. When that is complete and the machine is phased correctly, the safeties are good, and the GPS is in“FIXED” mode you can turn up the percent timer and move the swing span to the path.

16. After the machine is on the path and the safeties are good, remove the jumpers and return the wiring tooriginal configuration according to the print, the machine should be ready to run.
