Shovel with Heading Overview
The difficulty with rotating equipment such as
shovels is that the heading cannot be determined
by 1 normal GPS receiver. To overcome this a
node can be installed to provide another position
from which a heading can be determined.
To provide the minimum error the antenna
connected to the IVU and the node should be
installed as far apart as possible on the machine.
The IVU’s GPS antenna ( A on diagram) should
be located near the operator’s cab. The node (
on diagram) should be located on the opposite
side and to the rear of the Shovel.
This diagram is available in the “Help” tab.
