Installation Instructions
Absolute (24 Hour Survey) Base Station
CAUTION: Mounting location should be fixed
firmly so movement of receiver is not possible.
If base station receiver is allowed to move it will
result in warnings and could result in vehicle
movement. Mounting receiver on tall towers or
grain legs, which can shift in wind, is not
recommended. Radio and antenna assembly
can be mounted in a higher location with
optional harness (PF80652) to improve radio
line of sight but receiver should be positioned
so that it will not move. Mount a receiver close
to a metal building can cause GPS interference.
If GPS can not be acquired after installation
change location or increase height of receiver.
A—Universal Bracket
B—Receiver Quick Coupler
1. Attach radio to receiver. (See RADIO INSTALLATION
section.)
2. Attach universal bracket (A) to mounting location.
3. Attach receiver quick coupler (B) to universal mounting
bracket.

Installation Instructions
CAUTION: Always attach harness to power
source before connecting STARFIRE receiver
harness. Make sure power inverter has a
minimum capacity of 3 amps. A smaller inverter
could overheat or cause operational problems.
If a battery is used, it is recommended to
permanently attach eyelet terminals to 12V
battery. Use of alligator type clips is not
recommended as they can expose operators to
sparks.
4. Connect receiver harness to power harness.
5. Connect power harness to power inverter or battery.
6. Use enclosed VELCRO straps to secure harness.
7. Attach GREENSTAR display to harness.
