Installing an RTK Autoguidance Sveaverken SVEA F100
This page gathers the different steps of installation and configuration of a Sveaverken SVEA F100 RTK autoguidance.
Assembly and installation of the Sveaverken F100 autoguidance
Remove the upholstery, fix the 4G antenna, position the control terminal, install and mount the electric steering wheel. In this example, the assembly is done on a New Holland.
Before starting the assembly of the Sveaverken autoguidance
Follow the verification steps to correctly position the antenna and the control terminal. Find the bulkhead passages and identify the cable glands to optimize the routing of the harnesses.
Mounting the Sveaverken F100 autoguidance angle sensor
Mount the angle sensor on the right wheel. It can be mounted at the front or rear of the right wheel. It must be mounted on a fixed support. Remember to remove the pins from the angle sensor connector to facilitate the cable passage on the tractor. Take a photo of the pin positioning in the connector to reconnect them correctly. Turn your wheel fully to the right and start routing the cable towards the cabin. Once the harness is installed, turn the wheels fully to the left and check that the cable passes correctly.
Mounting the Sveaverken autoguidance steering wheel
Remove the original steering wheel to install the Sveaverken electric motor steering wheel. A size chart for sleeves is available to adapt the correct sleeve according to the tractor brand and model. Pay attention to the steering wheel position so that the harness and motor do not interfere or obstruct the controls.
The holes to fix the anti-rotation are located under the steering wheel. Several anti-rotation plates are provided. Find the most suitable plate to prevent the steering wheel from turning. Finally, lower the steering wheel as much as possible to route the harness along the steering column. Pass the harness through the bulkhead passages so that the harness reaches the control terminal.
Mounting the Sveaverken F100 autoguidance antenna
Start by passing the antenna cable through a roof bulkhead passage. Stick the anti-vibration sticker on the back of the antenna (there is a correct orientation). Position the antenna on the support base with the "Sveaverken" inscription facing the front of the tractor (small diameter towards the front). Position the support plates on the antenna base (to be able to easily remove the antenna from the tractor). Take measurements of the tractor roof to position the antenna at the center of the roof. Then apply windshield glue on the plates screwed to the antenna base. Install the antenna on its support using a 24 mm wrench, with the LEDs and "Sveaverken" inscription facing the front of the tractor. Connect the antenna plug to the antenna, making sure the ring of the plug is completely loosened. The plug clips like a push-pull then tightens by hand. First, you must push the plug in until you hear a "click," then tighten the ring by hand.
Routing the Sveaverken autoguidance power harness
The power button must be accessible inside the cabin. Remove the fuse cover to facilitate the harness passage through the cable glands to route the harness to the battery. Connect the harness to the battery. Secure the harness with cable ties to prevent wear. Bring the harness up into the cabin near where the screen will be positioned.
Routing the power harness
The power button must be accessible inside the cabin. Remove the fuse cover to facilitate the harness passage through the cable glands to route the harness to the battery. Connect the harness to the battery. Secure the harness with cable ties to prevent wear. Bring the harness up into the cabin near where the screen will be positioned.
Mounting screen and harnesses
Install the clamps and the RAM ball mount for the screen and tighten lightly with an 11 mm socket. Try several positions to find the best screen position so as not to obstruct the tractor controls. Then connect the harnesses to the screen. Bundle the harnesses together with cable ties. Position the main power button within reach of the screen.

Settings and adjustments for Sveaverken F100 autoguidance
The different steps of configuration and settings on the Sveaverken F100 autoguidance control terminal. Start the screen, adjust RTK reception, set precision speed, adjust correction frequencies, tool adjustment, install advanced mode. In this playlist, you will find the different steps to configure the F100 autoguidance.
Installing SIM card in the Sveaverken terminal
Insert the SIM card into the Sveaverken control terminal in the slot located on the left side of the screen. The circuit board must face you. Push the SIM card with a small tool until you hear a "click" locking it in place. Beforehand, you must disable the SIM card PIN code; this operation is done on your phone. To do this, insert the new SIM card into a phone, go to settings, then "cellular data," and finally "SIM card PIN" and disable the PIN code by entering "0000," which is the default code for each SIM card. This disables the PIN code.
First startup of the Sveaverken control terminal
Check that the main power button is activated. Press and hold the button on the back of the screen for 3 seconds to start the screen. If you are using a hotspot, activate the hotspot on your phone. Once the screen is on, swipe down from the top of the screen to access WIFI. Tap once on the WIFI button and hold to enter WIFI settings. Select the corresponding WIFI (hotspot or SIM card). Then you will register and create your account.
Connecting to the RTK network via Centipède for Sveaverken autoguidance
Connecting to the RTK network ensures smooth installation of the Sveaverken autoguidance. Enter the Centipède network details. The name of the closest base is also sent by the INTRAX team. Verify that it corresponds to the closest RTK base by visiting the Centipède website. In the "Host" field enter: caster.centipede.fr. In the "Port" field enter: 2101, then press "Get source." Press "Source node," scroll the list to choose the previously identified RTK base name. In the "Account" field enter: centipede. In the "Password" field enter: centipede. After these steps, the system will connect to the base. Check the RTK network connection at the top right of the screen.
Checklist before starting work with the SVEAVERKEN autoguidance
Here are the different adjustment and configuration steps before starting work and autoguidance.
- Tool width adjustment
- Vehicle measurements adjustment
- Motor debugging adjustment
- First AB line
- Switch to manual
Adjusting the correction frequency of the Sveaverken autoguidance
Set the aggressiveness with which the Sveaverken autoguidance will resume the guidance line. Set the approach aggressiveness parameter to 1.2.
Line aggressiveness is the reaction speed of the guidance on a straight line. Set this parameter to 0.8. Line aggressiveness can be set from 0.5 to 1 for greater responsiveness. For less responsiveness, set line aggressiveness between 1 and 1.5.
Approach aggressiveness in reverse line corresponds to line resumption in reverse (if you work in reverse position). Set this parameter to 0.8.
Enable and disable the slope mode of the Sveaverken autoguidance
This feature allows you to work on sloped and uneven fields.
Adjusting high-speed work precision of the Sveaverken autoguidance
Adjust the amplitude of each steering wheel turn by setting the motor debugging. To avoid zigzags, this value must be limited and adjusted according to your working speed. Refer to the following references: Working speed -- Motor debugging value
- 2 to 4 km/h -- 40
- 5 to 6 km/h -- 30
- 6 to 8 km/h -- 25
- 8 to 10 km/h -- 20
- Over 10 km/h -- 15
Calibrating the tractor for Sveaverken autoguidance
Make your first point A and B to calibrate your tractor and the angle sensor.
Steps before starting work with Sveaverken autoguidance
Before starting work, follow these settings:
- Set your working tool width
- Set measurements with a tool on the rear hitch or front hitch
- Set precision according to speed (motor debugging). This corresponds to the amplitude of each steering wheel turn
- Make your A-B line and name it
- Start automatic guidance
Adjusting the manual mode of the Sveaverken autoguidance
Determine the force to apply on the steering wheel to disable the Sveaverken autoguidance.

Adjusting the antenna offset of the Sveaverken F100 autoguidance
Virtually recenter your antenna by a few centimeters if the tractor is offset relative to its guidance line.
Vehicle measurement for Sveaverken F100 autoguidance
Be as precise as possible; imprecise measurements lead to offset guidance lines. Measure front wheelbase, front-to-rear wheelbase, distance between front axle and front tool, distance between rear axle and rear tool, antenna measurement relative to tractor center, antenna height relative to ground. If you have access to the U-Turn function, enter the turning radius.
