Key Applications of CHCNav NX510 Pro

The CHCNav NX510 Pro advanced automated steering system uses high-precision GPS technology that makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, including land surveying and construction surveying alongside precision agriculture.

• Precision Agriculture – the CHCNav NX510 Pro is ideal for various harvesting applications, including designing crop patterns and optimising crop rotations to boost harvest yields.

• Land Surveying – the CHCNav NX510 Pro’s built-in GNSS and RTK receivers provide accurate geospatial data collection for various land surveying tasks.

• Construction Surveying – alongside being suitable for land surveying, the CHCNav NX510 Pro’s GNSS receivers and operational accuracy also ensures that this steering system is suitable for construction site layout and machine control.

• Mapping and GIS – with full compatibility to all 5 GNSS constellations, the CHCNav NX510 Pro delivers optimal navigation reliability, even in remote locations where no RTK GNSS networks or UHF base stations are available.

• Agricultural Operations – the CHCNav NX510 Pro’s integrated AgNav software provides value across a dynamic range of precision agricultural applications, spanning from crop rotation to maximise soil nutrient contents, to optimising harvest routes to minimise crop waste.

CHCNav NX510 Pro Installation & Setup

Your CNCNav NX510 Pro comes packaged with all the components required for an easy and independent installation.

Here’s all the hardware and cabling included in the box with your CHCNav NX510 Pro:

• 1 x GNSS Receiver
• 1 x Electric Steering Wheel
• 1 x Tablet
• 1 x Wheel Angle Sensor + cable
• 1 x Rear Camera + cable
• 2 x Ball Base Holders
• 1 x Double Socket Arm
• 1 x Standard Bracket
• 1 x T-Bracket
• 1 x T Mount Kit (Parts A & B as marked)
• 1 x Integrated Main Cable
• 1 x Radio Antenna

Installing your CHCNav NX510 Pro can be done in just under 40 minutes using the step-by-step guide in our user manual.

Step 1: Steering system inspection

Begin by assessing the original steering system currently installed on your vehicle. Check whether the dead zone (steering clearance) of that steering system is optimal for CHCNav NX510 Pro system installation.

Step 2: Original steering wheel removal

Following your inspection, remove the original steering wheel and spline screws of your vehicle. Use a high-quality puller tool to avoid damage to the original steering wheel and shaft.

Step 3: CHCNav NX510 Pro steering wheel installation

Use the T-bracket and T mount kit or standard bracket to install your new CHCNav NX510 Pro electrical steering wheel. Position and tighten spline screws to secure your new bracket and steering wheel.

Step 4: GNSS receiver installation

Your GNSS receiver should be positioned as close to the central axis of the vehicle roof as possible and in a parallel position to the front of your vehicle. Adjust the receiver bracket to make sure the receiver is placed horizontally; the receiver arrow must also face forward. Wipe your vehicle roof clean before and after installation.

Step 5: Tablet setup and installation

Install your tablet using the ball base holders. These can be positioned either on the vehicle body with dovetail screws, or secured to the tubular section of the vehicle with U-bolts. Both positions allow for optimal ease of access.

Step 6: Wheel angle sensor installation

Fix the wheel angle sensor as horizontal as possible on the right steering wheel to better avoid vehicle collisions.

Step 7: Camera installation

Install the rear camera anywhere on your vehicle that provides an optimal viewing angle and is in range of the wire harness cable length.

Step 8: Cable connections

Follow the detailed cable connection instructions in your CHCNav NX510 Pro’s user manual to safely and securely optimise your unit’s cabling.

Step 9: Radio antenna installation

The installation of the radio antenna is not mandatory; it’s only required when customers are using the NX510’s built-in radio mode. Typically, we recommend to install the radio antenna on the vehicle’s roof for better reception of base station signals.

Step 10: External Rx radio installation

As the NX510 Pro does not include a built-in radio, it’s necessary for users to connect an external ER-2 Rx radio to receive data from the base station if they’re looking to use the unit’s internal radio mode.

Upon installing all components of your CHCNav NX510 Pro, perform a test steer run to determine if all hardware is responsive and operating correctly.
