Chapter 1 Introduction

1.1 Overview

The SAgro10 guidance system consists of a tablet integrated with a high-precision GNSS module, a geodetic antenna and the guidance software that can intelligently manage the working field and simplify the operation of users, including the recording of the completed work area, the planning and navigation of the work route, etc., which greatly reduces manual mistakes and improves work efficiency. It can be widely used for sowing, cultivating, trenching, ridging, spraying pesticide, transplanting, land consolidation, harvesting and other work scenarios.

The SAgro10 guidance system is compatible with most agricultural tractors, and all components can be easily installed within 20 minutes. Moreover, the SAgro10 guidance system can be easily upgraded to an auto-steering system. On the basis of keeping all components unchanged, only need to add a SEM1 (SingularXYZ Electric Motor) to the SAgro10 guidance system to easily upgrade it to auto-steering system, freeing users' hands and improving work efficiency.

This manual will introduce how to install and how to use the SAgro10 guidance system.

1.2 System Composition

The SAgro10 guidance system mainly includes one T10 Control Tablet and one SA100 GNSS antenna. The detailed packing list is shown in the table below.
