Important Safety

Information

Read this manual and the safety information provided within before installing the Slingshot® base station 2.0.

•Follow all safety information presented within this manual.

•Be sure to review local building codes prior to erecting or modifying any structure for mounting the base

station antenna. Contact a professional electrician for more information.

•If you require assistance with any portion of the installation, contact the Raven Network Operations Center

for support.

FCC Statement:

This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation of this device is subject to the following two

conditions:

1. This device may not cause harmful interference.

2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired

operation.

This equipment generates, uses and may radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in

accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is

no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful

interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the

user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna

•Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver

•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is

connected

•Consult the dealer or an experienced radio or television technician for help

2 Slingshot® Base Station 2.0 Installation Manual

•Only personnel qualified to work on raised platforms or trained to use fall protection equipment should

install or perform maintenance on the base station antenna.

•Be sure to follow all safety guidelines when working on raised platforms or elevation. Contact a qualified

training facility for additional information.

•Raven Industries does not supply lightning arresting equipment. Refer to local building and electrical codes

and contact a professional electrician for more information regarding lightning arresting equipment.

•Make sure the entry point into any building or structure is properly sealed to prevent moisture from

migrating into the building and causing damage to the Slingshot base station or other property.

•Ensure that the power cable is the last cable to be connected.

Introduction &

Preparation

Introduction

The Slingshot base station 2.0 is designed to provide subscribed field hubs with RTK level GNSS (Global

Navigation Satellite System) corrections via a cellular service provider. Correction information is sent from the

Slingshot base station 2.0 to the Raven Slingshot server and back to a field hub to supply the guidance

correction information to the guidance device.

The Slingshot base station will be delivered and installed in two phases:

1. Preparation and set up for a new base station.

2. Delivery and commissioning of the Slingshot base station.

Review and complete the instructions in this chapter prior to delivery of the Slingshot base station 2.0.

Base Station 2.0 Installation

Site Requirements

The following items are required before the Raven Slingshot base station 2.0 may be set up:

•A dedicated, broadband internet connection (DSL, cable, etc.) with DHCP support is preferred, but a

business network can be used.

•A dry, temperature controlled environment suitable for computer equipment with a connection to a

dedicated internet line and adequate power receptacles.

•A location within reach of the base station antenna mounting location and cable (maximum cable length

150’ [45 m]).

Note: The base station tray is compatible with a 1U 19” [48 cm] server rack for optional mounting.

Installing the Base Station 2.0

Before mounting the Slingshot base station 2.0 antenna, select a site which meets the following conditions to

ensure optimal performance:

Chapter 2

4 Slingshot® Base Station 2.0 Installation Manual

•Ensure the antenna location provides a clear, 360° view of the sky.

•Antenna should be mounted as far from reflective objects (i.e. metal buildings, water bodies) as possible

and should be higher than surrounding obstructions (i.e. tree lines, power lines, etc.).

•If obstructions or reflective surfaces are within 100’ [30 m], mount the Slingshot base station as high as

possible to minimize interference and/or multipath reflections. If no obstructions or reflective surfaces are

within this range, mount the antenna as low as possible.

•Use a sturdy mounting bracket with a 5/8” -11 NC thread. The thread must be between 3/8” to 7/8” [9.6 mm

to 22 mm] long to ensure proper mounting and avoid damage to the antenna casing. If the thread length is

longer than 7/8” [22 mm], use two jam nuts to shorten the exposed thread.

FIGURE 1. Example Antenna Mounting with Jam Nuts

•The antenna mount should provide a solid base for the antenna and should not allow the antenna to move

in any direction.

•Mount the antenna with the thread adapter and TNC cable connector facing toward the ground.

•Make sure the entry point into any building or structure is properly sealed to prevent moisture from

migrating into the building and causing damage to the Slingshot base station or other property. Use a drip

loop to keep moisture away from the entry point.

Note: It is recommended to contact a qualified electrician to route the cable into the building.

FIGURE 2. Drip Loop Example

•To prevent damaging the antenna cable, do not route cables through potential crimp points such as doors or

windows. Avoid severe bends in the cable as this may also cause damage to the cable.

Base Station Antenna Mounting

To install the Slingshot base station antenna:

1. Verify that the thread on the antenna mount does not extend more than 7/8” [22 mm] to ensure the plastic

inside the antenna receptacle is not damaged when the mount is inserted. If the thread length is longer than

7/8” [22 mm], use two jam nuts to shorten the exposed thread.

2. Thread the metal adapter on the bottom of the antenna onto the mount.

Note: The metal adapter is fixed to the antenna body. Do not attempt to remove this piece.

3. Using a wrench, tighten the antenna adapter to the mount to secure the base station antenna.

4. Remove the dust cap from the TNC connector on the antenna.

5. Attach one end of the provided base station antenna cable to the antenna and route to the selected base

station location.

Note: If the antenna will be mounted on a tower structure, be sure to leave enough slack in the antenna

cable to allow for expansion and contraction of the structure to avoid damaging the cable. Raven

recommends contacting a certified electrician to assist with cable installation and routing.

If the antenna cable will be routed into a building, be sure to use a drip loop to prevent moisture

from entering the building by wicking along the cable. Also be sure to seal any building

penetrations properly to prevent moisture and condensation.

Care & Maintenance

The base station antenna is designed to withstand the elements, including rain, snow, and dust. To ensure that

the antenna continues to perform as desired, keep the radome (top surface of the antenna) clear of snow and

ice and clear any debris as necessary.

Ensure that the TNC antenna cable connector remains clean and dry. If the cable will be disconnected from the

antenna for any length of time, replace the dust cap on the antenna.
