Standard AccuBoom Method
The standard method automatically maps the areas that are sprayed. The booms
automatically turn off if they enter into a previously sprayed area. An Rx map may
be used to further control the AccuBoom operation in this mode. If an Rx map is
used, the Rx map defines field boundaries and no spray zones. The extents of the
Rx map define the field boundaries while zero rate zones define areas where
AccuBoom automatically turns the booms off. In order for this to happen, ‘Enable
Zero Rate Shut-Off’ must be selected. If zero rate zones are used in multiple Rx
maps, they must coincide and be the same in all maps used in the job. If the standard
AccuBoom mode is selected, no other setup is required.
Create AccuBoom No-Spray Map Method
This method allows you to define spray and no-spray zones. The spray/no-spray
zones can be created while in the scouting operation or while you are applying prod-
uct to the field. When this method is selected, a new screen prompts you to give the
map a name. You also have the option to create a boundary no-spray zone. Select-
ing the Create No-Spray Boundary causes the Viper to automatically create a no-
spray zone for three boom widths outside the extents of all the spray zones created.
Once the job has been started, AccuBoom will function the same as in the standard
AccuBoom mode until all the zones have been defined and the spray/no-spray map
is created. After the map has been created, all of the no-spray zones will be masked
off. Creating Spray/No Spray maps will be explained later in this section.
Helpful Hint: If you have selected the manual console operation
or an application job is not in process, you will only be able to create
a map and the standard AccuBoom functionality will not be
available.
