When you press the Set A button on your display, the "A" point will appear on your display's screen. When you press the Set B button, the "B" point will also appear on the screen, and the line between the two points serves as your AB Line. Note: You do not have to set a B point for an A+ Pattern.
New AB Pattern Use the following procedure to create a new pattern. The following example explains how to create an AB line. Note: Pattern options other than SmartPath and Straight AB are explained in full detail on “About Guidance Patterns” on page 44. 1. Press New Pattern At the Guidance screen, press the New Pattern button. 2. Select Pattern The New Pattern Screen appears. Select from the following available guidance patterns: • SmartPath For more information, see “SmartPath” on page 40.
Note: If you are creating a Pivot pattern, you must drive a minimum of 160 yards (49 meters) before marking the B point. 6. Mark B Point After you have driven the appropriate distance, the Set B button appears as a solid text, after which time you can mark a B point. 7. AB Line appears When you have marked the B point, the AB line appears on the Map screen as shown. The end of the AB line is marked with a red point. 8. Create next pass Turn left or right for the next swath.
SmartPath The SmartPath pattern is designed to give guidance from any previously-driven pass. This is used in irregular-shaped and terraced fields where you cannot run all passes parallel to the previous pass. Instead, the SmartPath guidance allows you to move to a different area of the field, and then resume a previous guidance pattern later.
After you turn around on your first pass, the system guidance will follow a maroon-colored line parallel to your previously-driven pass. An example is shown in the picture below. As you continue using the SmartPath, the map screen will display three lines: • (A) Base Path Appears as a black line, is the initial SmartPath that you created on the first pass. • (B) Followed Path Appears as a maroon-colored line, is the path that your vehicle is currently using.
Once the AB line is created you can switch between the AB line and SmartPath patterns by pressing the AB/SmartPath toggle. A-B/SmartPath Toggle • Curved Lines • Straight AB Line After the Guidance System has switched over to a different path, the name of the currently-followed pattern is shown within a black box on the Map Screen. Choose Existing Lines Within SmartPath You can create up to 10 different AB lines within SmartPath.
GUIDANCE Save Pattern You can save a pattern (.pat file) to the display's internal memory to the current field by using the following procedure. 1. Press Save Pattern The Save Pattern screen appears, as shown. Note: The Save Pattern button will appear when there is an active pattern. 2. Name the pattern Press the keyboard button and enter a unique pattern name. When finished, press the green check mark box.
2. Select a Pattern The Load Pattern screen appears, as shown. Select and highlight the desired pattern. If the pattern you selected was an AB Line, that pattern now appears on the Map screen. Press the green check mark box to continue. 3. (Optional) Enter Guidance Width The Shift Pattern screen appears. The default Guidance Width is shown, based on the Implement Width that you specified in Implement Configuration. If you wish to change this Guidance Width, enter the new number using the numeric keypad.
Use the Pivot pattern for a field that is irrigated using a center-pivot. With this pattern, you can drive concentric circles around the centerpivot. The display will calculate the center point based on where you have driven. Otherwise, you can enter in the latitude and longitude of the center point, if known. 1. At the Guidance Screen, press the New Pattern button. Choose Pivot, and enter a swath width. Press the green check mark box when finished. You will automatically return to the Map screen. 2.
- A radius of at least two swath widths. - An arc length of at least two swath widths. • You can shift to the nearest row by going to the Guidance Screen and pressing Options. At the Guidance Options screen, press the Nearest Row button. The Shift to Nearest Row screen appears, as shown at left. Use the numeric keypad to enter in Row Spacing, and then press the Calculate Shift button in order to enter in the amount of distance to shift. Press the green check mark box when finished.
GUIDANCE OPTIONS The Options button on the Guidance Screen becomes active after you have set an AB line. The Options button opens the Guidance Options screen. The appearance of the Guidance Options screen varies, depending upon the pattern type you have selected. Three Guidance Options features described here and on the following page include Pause, Remark A and Shift. Pause The Pause button allows your display to stop logging points along an AB Line.
- Area Count generates the next pass, based on coverage area of the previous pass. The display must be logging coverage data in order to generate the next pass. - Heading Change logs the next pass when the vehicle turns past the heading threshold. • Heading Threshold. Enter in the degree of turning angle that your vehicle will need to make before creating another pass. Note: You should always set the Heading Threshold number past 90 degrees. The default number is 110 degrees.
Upon installation of the OnTrac2 hardware, you must set up a new configuration using the OnTrac2 guidance feature, by performing the following tasks: • Configure a vehicle on the OnTrac2 Configuration Tab For more information, see “Vehicle Configuration” on page 49. • Calibrate OnTrac2 For more information, see “Calibrating OnTrac2” on page 52. Adjusting the Disengage Sensitivity should be included with this calibration procedure.
4. Enter Antenna Forward/Behind Offset Use the numeric keypad to enter the antenna Forward/Behind position. Press the blue right-arrow button to continue. Note: Forward indicates the antenna is located in front of the vehicle’s control point. Behind indicates the antenna is located behind the vehicle’s control point. Be sure to select the appropriate offset for your configuration. Note: The Control Point of a vehicle varies, depending upon the type of vehicle.
3. Adjust Settings, if necessary At the Vehicle Settings screen, you can adjust the following settings: • Wheel Base • Antenna Forward/Behind Offset • Antenna Height Press the green check mark box when finished. ONTRAC2 TOOLS TAB The OnTrac2 Tools Tab is where you can calibrate OnTrac2, perform a Vehicle Steering Diagnostics check, perform a Steering Tuning Adjustment, enable a Remote Engage Switch, and upgrade ESC firmware. • Calibrate Starts the procedure to calibrate OnTrac2.
Calibrating OnTrac2 Calibration of the OnTrac2 should be performed after you install it on your vehicle. This calibration procedure consists of four main tasks: Selecting the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) orientation, Calibrating the Tilt Sensor, Adjusting the minimum output for the Motor Drive Unit, and Adjusting the Disengage Sensitivity. 1. Open Calibration Screen At the GPS Guidance Tab, press the Setup (wrench) tool. Go to the OnTrac2 Tools Tab.
Notes: - If you run out of space in the field at any time during the Calibration procedure, you can manually reposition the vehicle by pressing the Pause and Resume buttons. - The default Disengage value should be adequate. However, if the system disengages too easily during normal field operations, see “Adjust Disengage Sensitivity” on page 54 to adjust the Disengage value to a setting that works. 7. Calibration Complete Press the green check mark box to accept the calibration.
Drive Unit The Drive Unit Tab displays the following information: Status • Engaged Shows the OnTrac2 system is actively attempting to turn the steering wheel. • MDU Power Shows the MDU Power Switch is set to On. • Remote Engage Flashes green when the remote switch is pressed. • ECU Communication Fast blinking green indicates normal operation.
The Advanced Tab is where you can back up and restore all of your OnTrac2 data. Note: OnTrac2 data is stored in internal memory independently of other data. Thus the backup and restore procedures described in this section both save different data than the data described in the Console Memory Tab in “Memory Tab” on page 14. Back up both the display data as well as OnTrac2 data. Vehicle Database • Backup This backs up all of your OnTrac2 data in a folder, named ontrac2, on the external card.
• Tuning The Tuning process is where you can adjust individual settings for Steering, Heading and Cross-Track Error. For more information, see “Tuning” on page 56. • Line Acquisition Controls the aggressiveness that a vehicle acquires an AB line. Increasing this value will cause the vehicle to take a sharper angle toward the AB line. Decreasing this value will cause the vehicle to approach the AB line at a more gradual angle.
Note: Heading is very important to the vehicle’s ability to maintain an AB line, as it adjusts the vehicle’s direction and future location. • Cross-Track Error Cross Track Error adjusts how close the vehicle holds to the AB line. Increasing Cross Track Error will improve or decrease the amount a vehicle is off the AB line. If it is set too high, the OnTrac2 system will oscillate across the AB line.
Steering Motor Aggressiveness adjusts how aggressively Steering turns the steering wheel left and right. The higher Motor Aggressiveness is set, the quicker and more responsive Steering turns the steering wheel. The lower the Motor Aggressiveness is set, the more lazily Steering turns the steering wheel. Motor Aggressiveness should be set as high as possible so that the steered wheels move quickly, but not so quickly that the wheels are jittery.
Cross Track Error also does two things: - First, it adjusts the volume at which Cross Track talks to Steering. - Second, it adjusts the offline tolerance at which Cross Track tries to hold the tractor on the AB Line. The higher Cross Track Error is set, the louder Cross Track talks to Steering; and the tighter Cross Track tries to hold the tractor to the AB Line.

Determines where the control system switches between using Valve Response 1 or Valve Response 2 speed setting. Leaving all other valve control settings at the default value and making a small adjustment to this setting is usually all that is required to fine tune system performance. - Decreasing this value will have the overall effect of speeding up servo valve response. - Increasing this value will have the overall effect of slowing servo valve response.
This setting represents the maximum duty cycle that is sent to the control valve without producing any hydraulic flow from the PWM valve. Using too high of a Zero RPM Offset value can cause the product control system to not properly shut off. See PWM valve manufacturer information for recommended settings. • Allowable Error Default Value: 2% (2% - 3% is the normal dead band setting range.) - Too low of a setting value can cause the product control system to continually hunt for the target application rate.

HARVEST HARVEST HARVEST RUN TIME ENVIRONMENT: MAP SCREEN The screens shown are for a Harvest configuration. In order for you to view the Map Screen, you must first select a Grower, Farm and Field at the Start Field Operation portion of the Home Screen. For more information, see “Management” on page 10. Once a configuration has been completed, the Map View button appears at the bottom of the Home Screen. Press the Map View button, and the Map Screen appears, as shown and on the following page.
• (A) Total Acres • (B) GPS Status • (C) Map Options • (D) Home • (E) Map View • (F) Harvest • (G) Vehicle Icon • (H) AutoSwath • (I) Logging Status • (J) Status Items: Yield + Moisture • (K) Ground Speed The following Harvest Display items are available at the Map Screen: • Display Legend icon (For example, see previous page). The Display Legend is only accessible in the Zoom to Extent view. For more information about the Display Legend, see “Edit Legend” on page 21.
The Harvest Screen, accessible with the Harvest Button, is where you can view Region Selection, Header Height, Elevator Speed, Swath Width and Display Items. • (A) Total Acres • (B) Region Selection Displays the current region that you are harvesting, and also used to change regions and flag calibration loads. • (C) Header Height Displays percentage of header height. • (D) Swath Width A bar displaying the number of active sections in the swath.
• Area Shows the area harvested for the current region. • Wet Weight Shows the actual weight that has been harvested in the region. • Dry Bushels Displays the number of bushels at the specified dry moisture percentage. HARVEST SCREEN - ACTIVE DISPLAY ITEMS The Harvest Screen includes three active display items that if pressed, summon three different screens that display further harvest information.
HARVEST HARVEST SETUP TABS Pressing the Harvest button at the Setup Screen takes you to the Grain Harvest Configuration Tab. This tab is shown in front of four other tabs: Combine, Header, Crops and Calibration. • Configuration Tab The Configuration Tab is where you can add and edit operating configurations. For more information, see “Create a Harvest Configuration” on page 171 and “Configuration Settings” on page 172.
3. Follow the Wizard’s instructions The Wizard’s instructions will guide you through the necessary steps to create a configuration that includes Combine, Header and Crops settings. Note: From the Configuration Tab, you can also: • Press the on-screen keyboard to edit or rename existing configurations. • Press the Wrench button to access Configuration Settings (see following page). • Press the Remove button to remove a configuration.
3. From here, follow the on-screen wizard’s instructions to complete the distance calibration procedure. COMBINE TAB Underneath the Combine Tab, you can view, add, rename or remove combines, or adjust combine settings. • Add button Add a configuration • On-screen Keyboard Edit or rename existing combines • Wrench button Access Combine Settings • Minus button Remove a configuration Note: When deleting a combine all harvest data logged with the configuration will be deleted.
CAUTION: Do not change settings from the default value of 4 without specific instruction from Technical Support. GPS Offsets After completing the process of setting up a Combine, GPS Offsets must be configured. The GPS Offsets define where machine parameters are in relation to the GPS antenna. These settings are used by mapping and AutoSwath. Antenna Offsets The Antenna Tab contains three different settings. Accuracy when measuring for a specific setting is essential to ensure proper machine performance.
HEADER SETTINGS Under the Header Tab, highlight the header name, press the Wrench button and go to the Header Settings screen. At the Header Settings screen, you can view the swath width and/or the number of rows on the header, as well as calibrate the Header Sensor and adjust the Header Offset. • Calibrate Header Sensor The Calibrate Header Sensor button launches the Header Sensor Calibration wizard, which will walk you through calibrating the header sensor that turns area logging on and off.
3. Set Stop Height Select the correct crop type from the list box. Raise or lower the header to the height where you would like to have the area logging turn on and off. Press Set Height. Note: The position relating to the Stop Height will be represented as a percentage. - Move the header above and below the Stop Height. When below the Stop Height the dialog will indicate Down, when above the Stop Height the dialog will indicate Up. - To clear Min, Max, and Stop Height for all headers, press Reset All.
• Press the on-screen keyboard to edit or rename existing crops. • Press the Wrench button to access Crop Settings. For more information, see “Crop Settings” on page 177. • Press the Remove button to remove a crop. Note: When a crop or variety is removed, all logged harvest data relating to that crop or variety will be deleted. CROP SETTINGS The Crop Settings screen displays the Dry % and the Weight/Volume for the selected crop. Here you can edit Crop Settings and edit the map legend.
PRE-HARVEST CHECKLIST Calibration Sequence Perform Harvest Calibrations in the following order: 1. Distance (Speed Sensor) Calibration This calibrates the Ground Speed Sensor connected to the display. (calibrate a backup sensor even when using GPS speed as the primary speed sensor must still ). For more information, see “Calibrate Distance” on page 172. 2. Calibrate Header Sensor This sets the height when the display stops recording area as the header is raised at the end of the pass.
A Temperature Calibration only needs to be performed once per season. Changing this calibration will affect previously harvested data. 1. Place Combine in Shady Spot Leave the combine parked in a shaded area or a shed for a few hours. The temperature calibration should not be performed if the sensor has been in direct sunlight or is sitting next to grain. 2. Take Air Temperature Reading Take an accurate air temperature reading using a thermometer in the same shaded area. 3.
four and six calibration loads. You can complete a weight calibration at any time during the season; however it is recommended that you calibrate grain weight at the beginning of the season. Note: Start the calibration procedure with the combine stopped, the combine grain tank empty, and a hauling vehicle empty. 1. Open Region Options Screen While performing a Harvest Operation, press the Harvest Button, and the Harvest Screen appears.
and then go to the Calibration Tab, as shown. Use the drop-down menu to select the crop to calibrate. 13. Press Weight Button Press the Weight button, and the Weight Calibration Screen appears, as shown. 14. Press Enter Weight By default, all Field Names are checked. Uncheck any regions that you do not wish to include in the weight calibration, and press the Enter Weight button. 15. Select Region and Enter Actual Weight The Enter Cal Weight screen appears, as shown.
18. Examine Error Percentage When the calibration is finished, a screen appears, stating “Full Calibration Complete.” Examine the error percentages before checking the check mark box. 19. Uncheck Loads With Excessive Error Percentages At the Weight Calibration Screen, take note of any calibration loads that have excessive error percentages. In the example below, Region 3 has an error percentage of 21.8 percent. You should be able to calibrate the display for grain weight to an average error of 1% to 3%.
• On the left-hand side of the Weight Calibration Numbers Screen is a list of grain calibration values that range from C1 through C11. These 11 C numbers determine the weight that the display calculates from the data that it records into your regions as you harvest. These numbers have been pre-set and you should not change them unless instructed to by Technical Support. • On the right-hand side of the Weight Calibration Numbers Screen, three more numeric values appear: M1, S1, and V1.
DIAGNOSTICS Pressing the Harvest Display Item on the Harvest Screen summons the Harvest Diagnostics screens that pertain to your configuration (For an example, see illustration at “Harvest Screen - Active Display Items” on page 170). Technical support may request that you look at these screens for help in diagnosing a problem. When performing a Harvest operation, you can access the Harvest Diagnostic screen, as shown.
