Chapter 2: Hardware Configuration
Let’s begin with an overview of where the pieces go and how to hook them together.
Hardware Components
The main component is the two-wheeled cart. It contains the frame and hitch (in gold), the antenna sled
(in white) and a right and left antenna array pair (in white). The Right antenna is the Master antenna and
goes on the right side as you face forward The Left antenna is the Slave antenna and goes on the left side as
you face forward. The cart itself can be hooked up in either direction; just make sure that the Right and Left
antennas are oriented properly with the direction of travel.
The hitch is connected to the ATV with a ball joint. Four handle clips on the frame allow the antenna to be
pulled up off the ground. When the antenna is “up,” an extra rail on top of the frame can be pinned to the
hitch (as shown in Figure 1) to allow the antenna to be moved without dragging it on the ground.
On the back of the ATV, secure the Battery and the Controller Box. The Laptop sits in its own frame that
clamps onto the front frame on the ATV. These are the only components; now let’s look at how to hook
them together.
