TILT CALIBRATION

TILT CALIBRATION (CONTINUED)

When fi rst tuning FieldPilot 220, refer to the Vehicle Kit installa-
tion instructions for the starting oil fl ow setting and any console
settings that may be recommended for the particular vehicle.
If no console settings are recommended in the Vehicle Kit
instructions, start with the default settings stated in this User
Guide and proceed as follows.

1. Use the Valve Test instructions to ensure that the valve is
being driven in the correct direction. If the vehicle steers in
the reverse direction to the setting selected on the
console, swap the A and B valve connectors on cable
45-10103 at the FieldPilot valve.

2. Adjust Valve Gain, Aggressiveness, and Sensitivity. Be
aware that these settings are interdependent. A large
change in one of these settings may require that
adjustments are made in the other two settings.

3. Once Valve Gain, Aggressiveness, and Sensitivity have
been properly adjusted, proceed to fi ne-tuning the
Look-ahead setting.

Tilt corrected GPS positions provided improved guidance per­formance in hilly terrain. To provide accurate tilt correction, the
operator must calibrate the Steering Control Module (SCM).

The CenterLine 220 will detect if an SCM is connected. If detect­ed, the operator will be able to perform the tilt calibration. The tilt
calibration process must be started from a power up sequence.

1. Begin with the CenterLine 220 powered off.

2. Start the Tilt Calibration sequence by holding down the
