The StarFire 3000 Receiver must remain mounted to the same implement as the iGrade antenna being utilized. The iGrade antenna is only compatible with StarFire 3000 Receivers and is only intended for use on the implement receiver utilizing iGrade or other earthmoving applications.
Implement receivers in horizontal-accuracy-only applications. The iGrade antenna is only necessary for iGrade users demanding the highest possible vertical accuracy for their applications and should not be installed on the following: It is compatible with global positioning system (GPS) offering L1, L2, and L5 satellite signals and Russian satellite constellation (GLONASS) offering G1 and G2 satellite signals, as well as the StarFire network (L-band), making it an excellent enhancement to the StarFire 3000 Receiver. The iGrade antenna resists signal interference, allowing for the rejection of error that can typically be caused by multipath effects. Vertical accuracy can be impacted by signal interference that the StarFire 3000 Receiver is susceptible to, such as multipath. The iGrade StarFire GNSS antenna (iGrade antenna) facilitates enhanced performance of the implement’s StarFire 3000 Receiver when utilized for iGrade that requires maximum vertical precision. The vertical accuracy performance of the StarFire 6000 with internal antenna for iGrade applications is similar to that of the StarFire 3000 with external iGrade antenna. The StarFire 6000 Receiver is not currently compatible with external antennas. The John Deere Application Controller 1100 is required for iGrade activation. IGrade requires the receiver to have an RTK signal level. iGrade does not support WAAS, EGNOS, SF1, SF2, or SF3 signal levels. Compatible with integrated AutoTrac, AutoTrac Controller, and AutoTrac Universal. *When equipped with optional electronic SCVs. Any SCVs can be used and an option connector is not used. Compatible using John Deere proprietary SCV type. Running with John Deere legacy requires using SCVs 1 or 3 and connecting the UCC harness to the option connector at the rear of the tractor cab. Compatible using John Deere legacy SCV. Compatible using external selective control valve (SCV) and external SCV switch. #IGRADE JOHN DEERE SERIES#
