Base Station

The Base Station is a device that greatly enhances GNSS performance and line marking accuracy for the Turf Tank One. GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) is a term used to describe the satellites constellations used for navigation.
The constellations are:

• GPS - provided by USA
• Galileo - provided by European Union
• GLONASS - provided by Russia
• COMPASS - provided by China

The purpose of the Base Station is to filter out the noise in the satellite signals and pass this data on to the Turf Tank One making it possible for the Turf Tank One to operate more precisely and reliably.

Important

During March (2020) we are starting to ship a new version of the Base Station.
The new version contains a 5-Pin Charge Port.
The previous version is based on a 7-Pin Charge Port.
Shown below are the difference between the 5 and 7-Pin Port
