Guidance Modes

To choose a Guidance Mode:

1. Press NAVIGATION AND GUIDANCE OPTIONS tab

display navigation options.

2. Press GUIDANCE MODE button .
3.

Select from:
►Straight AB guidance
►Curved AB guidance
►Circle pivot guidance
►Last pass guidance
►No guidance

NOTE: Offset to adjacent guidelines will be calculated using the

guidance width, which is encoded in Machine setup

the Configuration

options.

Straight AB guidance

Straight AB guidance provides straight line guidance based on A and

B reference points. The original A and B point are used to calculate

all other parallel guidelines.

No guidance

No guidance turns off guidance.

NOTE: No guidance mode does not delete established guide lines

or points from the console. To delete established/saved data

from the console, please refer to the Data management

section under Unit setup.

Last pass guidance

Last pass guidance offers true last pass navigation. The console will

automatically detect the nearest applied area and establish parallel

guideline based on that area.

NOTE: If a boundary is established but no application occurred

during the boundary process, guidance will not initiate.

Curved AB guidance

Curved AB guidance provides guidance along curved lines based on

an initial AB reference line. This initial baseline is used to calculate all

other guidelines.

NOTE: Curved guidance is recommended not to exceed 30° within

the AB guideline.

HINT: While working in a bounded area, the guidance pattern

extending beyond the established AB points will be straight

line guidance.

Circle pivot guidance

Circle pivot guidance provides guidance around a central location

that radiates inward or outward based on an initial AB reference line.

This initial baseline is used to calculate all other guidelines.

It is used for product application in a centre pivot field while being

guided along a circular guideline that matches a centre pivot

irrigation system radius.

Guidelines

A B

Marking A and B points

To establish an AB guideline:

Drive to the desired location of Point A

While the vehicle is in motion,

press MARK A icon

NOTE: a Mark A button

is also available on the

Navigation and guidance options

menu

Drive to the desired location of Point B

Press MARK B button

to establish the AB line.

The console will begin providing navigation information.

NOTE: The MARK B Icon

is not available for selection (greyed

out) until the minimum distance is travelled (3.0 metres in

Straight or Curved guidance, 50.0 metres in Circle pivot

guidance).

It is not necessary to drive the entire circumference of the

centre pivot in order to initiate Circle pivot guidance.

Use CANCEL MARK

button on the Navigation and guidance

options

menu to cancel the Mark A command and revert to the

previous guideline (when established).

A+ nudge feature

The A+ nudge feature allows the current guideline to be shifted to the

vehicle’s current location.

To adjust the guideline:

1. Press NAVIGATION AND GUIDANCE OPTIONS tab

display navigation options.

Press A+ NUDGE button

Application Boundary

Application boundaries establish areas where application is

and is not to be applied. Boundaries can be established in all

guidance modes. One exterior boundary can be stored at a time.In

correspondence to your current location, the IN BOUNDARY icon

or OUT BOUNDARY icon

is displayed on the status bar once

the boundary is established.

Creating a boundary

To establish an application boundary:

Drive to a desired location at the perimeter of the field/

application area.

2. Press NAVIGATION AND GUIDANCE OPTIONS tab

display navigation options.

Press BOUNDARY button

While the vehicle is in motion, press BOUNDARY button

Travel the perimeter of the field/area.

Finish boundary:
►Travel to within one swath width of the starting point. The

boundary will close automatically (the white boundary line will

turn black)

►Press BOUNDARY FINISH button

. A straight line will

complete the boundary between your current location and the

starting point

NOTE: The BOUNDARY FINISH button is not available for

selection (greyed out) until the minimum distance is travelled

(five-times the swath width).

Use CANCEL BOUNDARY button under Boundary

the Navigation and guidance options

menu to cancel the new

field boundary process and revert to the previous boundary (when

established).

Delete the boundary

To delete the established boundary:

1. Press NAVIGATION AND GUIDANCE OPTIONS tab

4. Press ADD POINT button .

Delete the return point

To delete the established return point:

1. Press NAVIGATION AND GUIDANCE OPTIONS tab
