In addition to the display, the light bars, and sensors, you may also find the following associated equipment connected to the system harness and configured into the system:Data Radio
TCxxx Radios
Illustration 23 g01178442
A data radio is used to receive data from a GPS reference station, or an ATS Instrument. The GPS/GNSS and the ATS Instrument require the data radio to be working correctly before they can be used in the system. The GPS data radio can also be used to send files and receive files and other types of data from the office.There are three Data Radios available from Caterpillar. Refer to the following list for the Data Radios that are currently available from Caterpillar.
450 MHz Data Radio
900 MHz Data Radio
2400 GHz Data Radio (ATS Only)CRxxx Radios

The GPS/GNSS and the ATS Instrument require the data radio to be working correctly before they can be used in the system. The GPS data radio can also be used to send files and receive files and other types of data from the office.The CR Radio supports the following frequencies.
450 MHz Data Radio
900 MHz Data Radio
2.4 GHz Data RadioBase Station
Note: One of the following types of Base Station is required for the AccuGrade 3D GPS System to function correctly: GPS and GNSS. Currently, Caterpillar does not sell or service these Base Stations. A Trimble base station is recommended. A Base Station is not needed when Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) is in use.A Base Station consists of the following components:
GPS Receiver or GNSS Receiver
GPS Antenna or GNSS Antenna
Radio
Cables
Power SupplyThere may also be a tripod or mast for the antenna and the radio, depending on the particular site. For construction sites where work can continue for a long time, use a location such as the roof of the site office. A reliable power supply is needed.Make sure that the base antenna is clear of obstructions, reflected signals (multipath), and sources of electro-magnetic interference such as power lines.The Base Station Data Radio must be elevated several meters off the ground in order to provide optimum coverage.The Base Station requires a starting location. For best results set up the Receiver for the Base Station on a surveyed point. In order to establish this survey point, use a site calibration or a professional surveyor experienced with this type of equipment.You must correctly set the antenna type at your Base Station. If you do not, the position is degraded.Advanced Tracking System (ATS)
There are three main parts to an ATS:
Machine Target
ATS Instrument
A Data Radio LinkMachine Target
