Welcome letter
Dear Owner,
Thank you for purchasing a HARDI® product and welcome to the ever-increasing family of HARDI® sprayer owners.
Our sprayers and accessories are a familiar sight on North American farms. We believe that this results from growers becoming increasingly conscious of crop protection input costs and the vital need for cost effective spray application equipment.
Please take the time to thoroughly read the Operator’s Manual before using your equipment. You will find many helpful hints as well as important safety and operation information.
Some of the features on your HARDI® controller were suggested by growers. There is no substitute for “on farm” experience and we invite your comments and suggestions. If any portion of this instruction book remains unclear after reading it, contact your HARDI® dealer or service personnel for further explanation before using the equipment.
For Product, Service or Warranty Information:
- Please contact your local HARDI® dealer.
To contac t H A RDI® d i r e c tl y :
- Please use the HARDI® Customer Service number: 1-866-770-7063
- Or send your email to CUSTSERV@hardi-us.com

3 - Description
USB Flash Drive
The display utilizes a USB Flash Drive slot that you can use to save and transfer your data in and out of the display.
Color Touch Screen
The display features a color touch screen display. The touch screen allows easy and intuitive navigation through the screens on the display without the need for any external keypad or mouse devices. Here are a few key things to remember if you are new to using a touch screen device:
Do not use any sharp objects for running the touch screen device, this could result in damage to the display. Using the tip of a finger is the recommended method of operating the display touch screen.
Do not use any harsh chemicals to clean the touch screen. Using a damp soft cloth or an anti-static wipe made specifically for cleaning computer displays is the correct way to clean the screen and the enclosure.
The touch screen requires only a gentle touch of about half-second in duration to operate correctly. A common mistake is to try to navigate too quickly through the system using firm taps instead of gentle presses.
ISOBUS Technology
The ISOBUS system uses Controller Area Network (CAN) technology. CAN systems are comprised of individual modules, each with their own high speed processor, connected through a high-speed communications cable.
CAN has many benefits:
Greater ability to configure and expand the system.
Compatibility.
Simpler installations with less wiring.
Increased system dependability.

Diagnostics
Only needed when a Manager forgets their password and works within the display until firmware is upgraded.
How will Tech Support identify if the person calling in is a Manager or not?
They will ask the caller, “Are you a Manager in the display?” If the customer answers yes, Tech Support will generate the password. If the customer answers no, Tech Support will require a Manager to authorize the display to be unlocked.
What if a customer doesn’t want to risk forgetting passwords and generating new ones?
A display does not need to be locked with a password. The display can be operated as it has been in the past without passwords. Operators can also be setup with limited or customized access without passwords.
Tips
Managers, keep a record of all passwords set in the display.
Operators, write down your personal password.

Virtual Terminal
Virtual Terminal together with HC 8500/HC 9500
The following has to be set up in both the HC 8500/HC 9500 software and into the VT-software:
Boom width (VT menu 3.3.1).
Number of sections (VT menu 3.3.2).
Number of nozzles per section (VT menu 3.3.3).
General info about Virtual Terminal
The display is compatible with the ISO 11783 (ISOBUS) Virtual Terminal Standard. This enables support of many ISOBUS compliant implements on the display. Virtual Terminal functionality enables the compliant implement’s user interface to be viewed and controlled on the display.
Common Terminology
ISOBUS Working Set One or more ISOBUS modules that control an implement’s functionality.
Working Set Master (WSM) Main module responsible for coordinating all communication between the VT and the
Working Set including loading of the Object Pool to the VT screen.
Object Pool Defines graphical components that ISOBUS modules present on a compatible display.
WARNING! Before operating an ISOBUS implement with the display, read the operator’s manual provided by the
±
implement’s manufacturer, e.g. HARDI® and follow all safety information provided in the manual. When this display is used with an ISOBUS implement, the information and functions on the display are provided by the implement ECU and are the responsibility of the implement manufacturer.

NOTE! Always enable this when connected to a HARDI® ISOBUS system. Otherwise it will
÷
give an error message when starting a spray job in the working screen on the HC 8500/9500.
Always set to 0 except when there are multiple screens on the ISOBUS. Use to change instance. Reboot Display.
When an ISOBUS compliant implement is connected to the display for the first time, the implement WSM sends its graphic interface, called the Object Pool, to the display.
Status bar (A) appears while Object Pools are being loaded. This process might take several minutes depending on the number of Object Pools being loaded.
Once loaded, object pools are stored in the display memory.

If there are multiple ISO implements connected, press the VT button to toggle between Working Sets.
The Working Sets can also be accessed by pressing tabs (A) or (B) individually.
ATTENTION! If the HARDI® VT displays the
default 4 boom section (4 red lines below the boom), then there is no communication with the JobCom. Make sure to power On the JobCom on at the SetBox before proceeding.

Automatic Swath Control (AutoSectionControl)
Your Spec ific
Configuration
Automatic Swath Control
The Automatic Swath Control feature turns sections off and on automatically based upon the following conditions:
Entering and exiting internal and outer field boundaries.
Entering and exiting previously-applied areas within a field.
At the Configuration Setup screen, press the Automatic Swath Control button. At the screen that appears, options are:
Outside Boundary Option
Select one of the two options to determine system behavior when a section exits a field boundary.
Coverage Option
In the Coverage Option area, you must choose between three options:
Minimize Skip
Turns off the implement section after the entire section is fully inside your coverage area. This prevents the possibility of skips.
Minimize Overlap
Turns off the implement section when that section first enters your coverage area. This prevents the possibility of overlaps.
User Defined
Allows you to choose what percentage of the implement section is within the coverage area before that section turns off. For example, if you choose 50%, then the section will switch off when half of it is within your coverage area.
Turn-On Look Ahead
Determines how far ahead the system looks to turn the sections back on. This compensates for delay in the system when the sprayer sections are turned on.
Turn-Off Look Ahead
Determines how far ahead the system looks to turn the sections off. This compensates for delay in the system when the sections are turned off.
