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

Display Hardware
Rear side
A. USB media slot
Used for data transfer in and out of the display.
B. Speaker
The built-in speaker is used for audible warnings. The volume can
be adjusted through the display setup routine.
C. RAM mount
D. Power/Reset switch
The Power/Reset switch is used for turning the display on and off
in installations where the system is connected to a continuous
power supply.
If the display ever stops responding, the manual power switch may
be held in for five seconds to restart the system. Only do this as a
last resort, data loss could occur during times of improper
shutdown.
E. 28-pin auxiliary connection
Used for camera input.
F. 28-pin plug
The 28-Pin round display connector contains CAN, RS-232 serial, and system
power and ground connections. It is compatible with some certain other
displays. Ethernet for ParaDyme automated steering is included in
connection.
VGA video output (not HC 8500)
G.
Can be used to connect to a video projector for demonstration purposes.

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.

AutoTerrain/AutoHeight/AutoSlant UC5 instruction books.
Glossary of Application Settings
Configuration Settings
• Rate Outside of Field
Rate that will be used outside of the field boundary. This is controlled by the HARDI® VT software.
• Rate Display Smoothing
Determines how the feedback from the JobCom will be displayed on the Work Screen.
• When checked, the system will display the target rate when the application rate is within 10% of the target rate
setting.
• When unchecked the system will display the raw feedback from the rate sensor.
• Controller Time Delay
Compensates for any delay in the control system. This is controlled by the Look-Ahead settings - see “Automatic Swath
Control (AutoSectionControl)” on page 4.71.
Speed Input Settings
• Primary Speed Source
Main source used by the display.
• Backup Speed Source
If the primary speed source fails, the display will use the backup speed source if one is available.
• Manual Speed
If both of the sources are unavailable, manual speed can be used in order for the control channel to provide
application. Manual speed setting is for use during static machine testing or by the control system in the absence of
primary and backup speed signals.
Automatic Swath Control Settings
• Turn-On Look-Ahead
Determines how far ahead the system looks to turn the swath sections back on. This setting compensates for any delay
in the product control system when the sections are turned on.
• Turn-Off Look-Ahead
Determines how far ahead the system looks to turn the swath sections off. This setting compensates for delay in the
product control system when the boom sections are turned off.
• Outside Boundary Option
Determines the behavior of the sections when exiting the field boundary or prescription-mapped area.
• Coverage Option
Based on the coverage option selected, this setting determines the behavior of the swath section when
entering/exiting an already applied area or field boundary. Options available include: Minimize Skip, Minimize Overlap,
and User Defined Percentage.
Field Notes
• Auto Generate Report
When checked, this option will automatically generate the SmartReport each time product application is completed
and the Field button is selected.
• Prompt for Report Details
When checked, this option will automatically launch the region summary data collection dialog each time a new
region is created at the run screen during application rate control.

Installation
Installation Instructions
All machine installation and mounting kits are shipped with instructions specific to that kit. Instructions include special
details relating to mounting, wiring and display configuration.
Mount the display to a secure support inside the vehicle cab. When choosing a mounting location, consider if the display:
• is readily accessible to the machine operator.
• does not obstruct the machine operator's normal driving view.
• does not interfere with or limit access to any of the existing machine controls.
• is fitted so the ISOBUS system cabling is routed and secured without interfering with existing machine controls.
WARNING! If drilling holes is required during the mounting process, care must be taken to ensure that damage is not
±
done to existing vehicle wiring, mechanical, or cab structure. Refer to vehicle manufacturer documentation for
specific details on your equipment. Follow all OEM instructions, cautions, and warnings when working around
equipment.
