Product catalog summary

Overview: The SATSPEED 2 is an interface device designed to convert GPS signals into radar-compatible pulses, providing accurate ground speed measurements for agricultural vehicles. It is manufactured by RDS Technology Ltd.

Features:

Quick and easy installation process.
Delivers precise signals unaffected by weather or surface conditions.
Pre-programmed for immediate use without the need for calibration.
Automatically starts and stops with vehicle movement.
Compact design suitable for mounting on tractors or implements.

Technical Specifications:

Velocity Range: 0.5 km/h to 70 km/h.
Accuracy: Approximately 0.36 km/h.
Antenna: Magnetic mounting with a high-impact, corrosion-resistant, and waterproof housing.
Start-up Time: 41 seconds.
GPS Frequency: 4Hz.
Connections: 3-way Female Weatherpack with specific pin assignments for power, speed signal output, and ground.
Cables: 5 meters to antenna, 0.3 meters to connector.
Output Frequency: 35.68Hz per km/h (128.4 pulses per meter).

Operational Notes:

The unit automatically detects the baud rate and provides a forward speed signal based on GPS reception.
Speed readings default to zero below 0.5 km/h.
Not suitable for applications requiring speed measurements below 0.5 km/h or in areas with poor GPS reception.
Ground speed signal may temporarily read 0 km/h in areas with weak satellite reception, such as under trees.

Status Indicators:

Two LEDs indicate unit status: Green for power and Red for GPS signal.
Various LED states indicate power status, GPS signal presence, and operational mode.

TRUE SPEED OVER GROUND Satspeed Operation TECHNICAL DETAILS The unit will automatically find the baud rate and depending on GPS reception status, provide a forward speed signal on power up. Velocity Range: Antenna Mounting: Magnetic (metal plate and adhesive base supplied in kit) Antenna Housing: High impact, corrosion resistant and fully waterproof Start-up Time: The forward speed reading will default to zero below 0.5km/hr. NOTE: This unit should not be fitted in situations where speed measurement <0.5km/hr is required, or there is consistent poor quality GPS reception. Consider that the ground...
