Cruizer

Operator’s Guide

Installation

1. Mount the DGPS antenna to the tallest point of the vehicle (usually the vehicle’s

cab) using the standard magnet mount. To achieve the best possible signal, make

sure that the DGPS antenna has a clear 360° view of the sky. The simplest setup

is achieved by mounting the antenna on the center-line of the vehicle.

2. Route the antenna cable to the back of the Cruizer console and connect to the

antenna port.

3. Connect the power cable to the power port on your Cruizer and plug the

Accessory Power Adaptor Plug into your vehicle’s accessory port or cigarette

lighter.

4. Mount Cruizer inside the vehicle’s cab using the supplied RAM mount arm and

suction cup. Note: Make sure the mounting surface is clean and provides an

adequate bond for the suction mount.

Home Screen

Touch the Start Guidance icon to begin a new Guidance session or continue a

session that is already in progress.

Touch this icon to access the Configuration Menu. The Configuration Menu is

only available from the Home screen.

When you turn the console on or when Guidance is not active, the Shutdown

icon will appear. Raven recommends that you shutdown the console before

turning the power off.

If Guidance is running, the End Guidance icon will appear on the Home

screen. Touch this icon to end the open Guidance session.

The GPS Status screen is available by touching this icon in the upper left

corner of the Home and Guidance screen. This icon displays:

• Green if the GPS status is okay

• Yellow if an error condition has been encountered.

• Red if GPS is non-functional. Make sure the DGPS antenna connections are secure

and that the antenna has a clear, 360° view of the sky.

Initial Startup

The first time you power on your new console, Cruizer will need to be configured for

your preferences, the desired units of measurement (inches or meters), and your

specific machine. A Configuration Wizard will automatically start when the console

is powered up and should only take a few minutes to complete. Once completed, these

settings and any changes will be saved by internal memory.

1. On the first screen displayed in the Configuration Wizard, select the language

and display units for your Cruizer. Touch the green arrow to accept your selection

and advance to the Boom Width Setup screen.

2. Use the displayed keypad to enter the overall implement, equipment, or boom

width in inches (English) or meters (Metric). Touch the green arrow to advance

to the Left/Right Offset screen.

3. Enter your GPS antenna’s left or right offset from the center of the implement or

boom. Enter a left offset by double tapping the decimal place button before

entering an offset value. Touch the green arrow when finished to advance to the

Fore/Aft Offset screen.

4. Use the keypad to enter your GPS antenna’s fore or aft position with respect to

the center of the implement or boom. If your GPS antenna is behind your

implement or boom, double tap the decimal button to enter a negative value for

the fore/aft offset. Touch the green arrow key to save any changes to this setting

and advance to the final Setup screen, Antenna Height.

5. Use the keypad to enter the GPS antenna height above ground. Touch the green

Home icon to complete the Configuration Wizard and go to the Home screen.

Starting Guidance

Once the initial setup has been completed, Cruizer is ready to start Guidance. Note

Troubleshooting

Updates

Updates for your Cruizer console will be made available periodically on the Raven

web site http://www.ravenprecision.com/us/Support/Software/ to download the latest

version of Cruizer software. Unzip or extract the download to your flash drive.

Note: Cruizer will not be able to locate the update files if you put them in a folder on

the flash drive. The files must be extracted to the flash drive’s root directory (X:\

where X is the letter of your flash drive.

Insert your flash drive into the USB port on the back of your Cruizer console and then

power on the console. Access the Updates screen in the Computer menu within the

Configuration Menu. Select the update to apply. After Cruizer has applied the

update, you will need to restart the console to finish the update procedure.

The touchscreen

is not responding

to your touch.

Turn the Cruizer console power off, wait a few seconds and

turn the power back on. When the Cruizer start-up screen

displays, touch below the Cruizer logo to re-calibrate the

touchscreen. Follow the instructions on the screen and touch

the calibration mark everywhere it appears. When the system

is finished with the re-calibration, the Home screen displays

and the system is ready for operation.

Cruizer does not

start when

powered on.

Ensure that you have +12V DC to the Cruizer console. If the

Cruizer turns on, but does not start-up properly and has a

partially blank screen, you will need to ensure that voltage to

the Cruizer system is at least +9.5V DC and no greater than

+15V DC

The LED on the Accessory Power Adaptor Plug should be lit

green when inserted properly. If the LED is not lit, check that

the plug is fully inserted in the machine’s accessory port or

cigarette lighter. Check the fuse in the Adaptor Plug and

replace if necessary.

No GPS Check the DGPS antenna cable connection on the Cruizer and

antenna. Tighten any loose connections.

Ensure that the DGPS antenna has a clear 360° view of the sky.

The machine should not be inside or near buildings, trees, and

other objects that may interfere with DGPS reception.
