Components
IMPORTANT: Install antenna before radio is powered
ON. Powering radio without an antenna may
cause permanent damage.
RTK Radio 450 system includes the following hardware
components:
Base Station
GreenStar™ Display is used to set up radio and can be
removed after setup.
StarFire™ Receiver uses global positioning system
(GPS), global navigation satellite system (GLONASS),
and correction satellites to calculate accurate machine
position.
To congure the RTK radio, the StarFire™ Receiver
must acquire SF1 signal to determine its location. The
GPS position is used to ensure the receiver follows local
governmental regulations for using RTK radio
communications.
RTK Radio 450 transmits correction signals to machine
for accurate positioning.
Radio antenna transmits signal for radio.
● Standard antenna
● High gain antenna
Power source converts AC power to DC power.
NOTE: If power loss or interruption occurs, verify base
station settings. Ensure that operating mode and
position (latitude, longitude, and height) have not
changed before resuming use of RTK signal.
Battery maintainer may need to be reset.
Machine
GreenStar™ Display is used to set up radio.
StarFire™ Receiver uses GPS, GLONASS, and
correction satellites to calculate accurate machine
position.
RTK Radio 450 receives correction signals from base
station or repeater. Machine radio does not transmit
signal.
Radio antenna receives signal for radio.
● Standard antenna
● High gain antenna
Optional Components
RTK Radio 450 repeater receives signal from base
station radio and resends it to machine radio. Contact
