GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Version 2.1, February 1999 Copyright c 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of

this license document, but changing it is not allowed. [This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence the version number 2.1.]

Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software-to make sure the software is free for all its users.

This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some specially designated software packages-typically libraries-of the Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below.

When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do these things.

To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.

For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.

We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/ or modify the library.

CFX-750 DISPLAY USER GUIDE

To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know that what they have is not the original version, so that the original author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be introduced by others.

Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license.

Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those libraries into non-free programs.

When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with the library.

We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain special circumstances.

For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.

In other cases, permission to use a particular library in nonfree programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating system.

Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run that program using a modified version of the Library.

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must be combined with the library in order to run.

GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION

0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License"). Each licensee is addressed as "you".

A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.

The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or

translated straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".)

"Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interfacedefinition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the library.

Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does and what the program that uses the Library does.

1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the Library.

You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.

2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

a) The modified work must itself be a software library. b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices

stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no

charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a table

of data to be supplied by an application program that uses the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, in the event an application does not supply such function or table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful.

(For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any application-supplied function or table used by this function must be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square root function must still compute square roots.)

These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.

Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Library.

In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.

3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in these notices.

CFX-750 DISPLAY USER GUIDE

Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.

This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of the Library into a program that is not a library.

4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange.

If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to distribute the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.

5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and therefore falls outside the scope of this License.

However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the library". The executable is therefore covered by this License. Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.

When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not. Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.

If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the Library will still fall under Section 6.)

Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section

6. Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.

6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse engineering for debugging such modifications.

You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one of these things:

a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application to use the modified definitions.)

b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a copy of the library already present on the user's computer system, rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2) will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if the user installs one, as long as the modified version is interfacecompatible with the version that the work was made with.

c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give the same user the materials specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more than the cost of performing this distribution.

d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above specified materials from the same place.

e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.

For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception, the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.

It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot use both them and the Library together in an executable that you distribute.

7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise permitted, and provided that you do these two things:

a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the Sections above.

b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.

8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.

9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Library or works based on it.

10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.

Safety Information

Always follow the instructions that accompany a Warning or Caution. The information they provide is intended to minimize the risk of personal injury and/or damage to property. In particular, observe safety instructions that are presented in the following format:

WARNING – This alert warns of a potential hazard which, if not avoided, can cause severe

injury.

CAUTION – This alert warns of a hazard or unsafe practice which, if not avoided, can cause

injury or damage.

Note – An absence of specific alerts does not mean that there are no safety risks involved.

Warnings

WARNING – Anhydrous ammonia (NH3) can cause severe burning, blindness, or death. Before

you begin to operate or service equipment that contains NH3, carefully read and follow all safety instructions in Working with anhydrous ammonia, page 7.

WARNING – Incorrect adjustment of the Manual Override Sensitivity calibration setting could

cause this critical safety feature to fail, resulting in personal injury or damage to the vehicle. Any adjustment to this setting should only be made by an experienced user.

WARNING – During the Deadzone calibration, the system moves the vehicle’s steering wheels.

To avoid injury, be prepared for sudden vehicle movement.

WARNING – When you tap the liquid flow calibration Start button, the machine will become

operational. Take all necessary precautions to ensure user safety. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.

WARNING – When you tap the control valve calibration Start button, the machine will

become operational. Take all necessary precautions to ensure user safety. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.

WARNING – When you tap the fill disk Start button, the machine becomes operational. Take

all necessary precautions to ensure user safety. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.

WARNING – When the implement is down and the master switch is in the On position, the

machine is fully operational. Take all necessary precautions to ensure user safety. Failure to do so could result in injury or death.

CFX-750 DISPLAY USER GUIDE

Safety Information

WARNING – The display contains a single-use Lithium-sulfide LiSO2 battery. Do not expose the

battery to temperatures greater than 71 °C (160 °F) as the battery may explode.

WARNING – MOVING PARTS DURING THIS TEST! Please stay clear of the implement. Ensure

the implement is raised, the transmission is in PARK, and the emergency brake is applied before continuing.

WARNING – Many large and sudden change in satellite geometry caused by blocked satellites

can cause significant position shifts. If operating under these conditions, auto-guidance systems can react abruptly. To avoid possible injury or damage to property under these conditions, disable the auto-guidance system and take manual control of the vehicle until the conditions have cleared.

WARNING – Obstacles in the field can cause collisions, which may injure you and damage your

vehicle. If an obstacle in the field makes it unsafe to continue a particular phase of the automated dead-zone calibration, stop the vehicle to abort the phase and turn the steering wheel to disengage the system. Reposition the vehicle and continue from the current test phase.

WARNING – The wheels can move abruptly during the Steering Proportional Gain procedure

while the Autopilot system tests the hydraulic response to its steering commands. To avoid injury, be prepared for vehicle movement.

Working with anhydrous ammonia

• Contact your NH3 supplier to review all safety requirements associated with anhydrous ammonia (NH3).

• Always wear correct personal protective equipment. This includes, but is not limited to:

– Goggles or face shield

– Protective suit and gloves

–Respirator

• Do not allow anyone to operate the system without proper instruction and training.

• Stand up-wind when working around NH3 and related equipment.

• Always keep NH3 equipment away from buildings, livestock, and other people.

• Never work on NH3 equipment in confined spaces.

• Before you attempt to transport the implement, discharge the system of all NH3 and completely shut down the system. See Discharging the system, page 8.

• If symptoms of illness occur during or shortly after use of NH3 products, seek immediate medical attention.

CFX-750 DISPLAY USER GUIDE

Safety Information

• Keep a source of clean water (at least five gallons) readily available. In case of exposure, flush exposed skin or eyes immediately with large quantities of water and seek immediate medical attention.

• NH3 can be harmful to the environment if not used correctly. Follow all local, state, and federal regulations regarding proper handling of this chemical.

Servicing the equipment

1. Remove the system from operation before performing any maintenance.

2. Thoroughly bleed all system lines and disconnect the nurse tank hose. See Discharging the

system, page 8.

3. Make sure that the gauge pressure is at zero before you open the system.

4. Use extreme caution when opening a previously pressurized system.

Discharging the system

1. Turn off the console or vehicle master switch.

2. Completely close the main shut-off valve on the supply or nurse tank.

3. Resume field application until the pressure gauge shows zero pressure.

4. Check again that the console and/or vehicle master switch, and all section switches, are turned

off.

5. Completely close the emergency shut-off valve the cooling tower.

6. Bleed and disconnect the nurse tank supply hose from the system.

7. Turn on the console master switch and all section switches.

8. Stand up-wind from the implement and then slowly open the bleed valve(s) until fully open.

9. Allow at least one (1) hour for the system to fully discharge.

10. Before you open the system, make sure that the pressure gauge on the manifold reads zero and

that the cooling tower is not cold to the touch. This ensures that all liquid NH3 has evaporated and that the pressure is discharged.

Note – Frost on any component is a positive indication of trapped NH3 at low pressure. Lack of frost does not always indicate a lack of NH3.

Installing the antenna

Note – To minimize any interference to the GPS signal, make sure that the GPS antenna is at least 1 m (3 ft) from any other antenna (including a radio antenna). You may experience interference if you operate the vehicle within 100 m (300 ft) of any power line, radar dish, or cell phone tower.

Note – The AG-25 antenna has integrated magnets for easy installation. To attach the antenna to a non-metal surface, you must use the mounting plate.

1. Find the mounting location for the antenna at the front of the vehicle roof, centered from left to right.

2. On the mounting plate, remove the protective covers from the adhesive strips.

3. Attach the mounting plate to the vehicle roof with the adhesive strips. Ensure that the mounting plate is centered along the vehicle roof.

4. Connect the antenna cable to the antenna.

5. Place the antenna directly on the mounting plate. The three magnets embedded in the bottom of the antenna will hold it in place.

6. Route the other end of the antenna cable into the cab.

CHAPTER

Vehicle 4

In this chapter:

 Introduction

 The EZ-Steer assisted steering system

 The EZ-Pilot steering system

 The Autopilot automated steering system

This chapter describes how to configure your auto steer system for use with the CFX-750 display.

CFX-750 DISPLAY USER GUIDE

4 – Vehicle

Introduction

To ensure the correct performance of your auto steer system, you must calibrate it correctly. Before you calibrate your auto steer option, do the following:

• Ensure that the vehicle’s hydraulic oil is up to operating temperature. Refer to the vehicle documentation.

• Ensure that the tire pressure is correct.

• Complete the GPS Setup on the CFX-750 display. For more information, see Chapter 10, GPS.

When you calibrate your auto steer option, pay attention to the following:

• Choose a field with the smoothest possible surface and perform the calibration at the normal operating speed for the vehicle.

• For a high-clearance sprayer, perform the initial calibration without an implement or with the booms folded in. After the initial calibration is completed, you can fine tune the settings with the implement or booms folded out.

The calibration process requires a straight AB line. If you do not create an AB line before you begin the calibration, the system prompts you to open a field and create one.

To access the auto steer options:

In the guidance screen, tap and then tap Vehicle.

2. Tap Auto Steer:

Curve Auto steering Accuracy in Headlands

It is possible to engage the EZ-Steer system on headlands with sharp corners at the edge of the field. However, the EZ-Steer system may be unable to drive around these sharp bends. Use one of the following methods to compensate:

• Manually steer the vehicle around the corner. Once you have rounded the corner, re-engage the EZ-Steer system.

• In the Engage Options screen, increase the Disengage Offline distance.

Vehicle-specific performance

Before you use the EZ-Steer system, consider the following performance suggestions.

Vehicle type Performance hint

2WD tractor With tractors that have SuperSteer (for example, New Holland TG), if the tractor has

a SuperSteer front axle, for best performance:

• Reduce the Online Aggressiveness value.

• Line up close to the swath and make certain that the front wheels are straight before engaging the EZ-Steer system.

• To get smoother performance when the vehicle is pulling an implement over tilled ground, enable the Diff-Lock. This prevents the machine from pulling sharply to the left or right. If you are calibrating on a hard surface, turn off DiffLock.

4WD tractor The EZ-Steer system can be installed on Case IH STX tractors with Accusteer. For

optimal performance, disable Accusteer using the switch in the cab (if possible).

Sprayer • It is common for these vehicles to have slow steering. To compensate for this, use

high aggressiveness.

• If you experience large, slow oscillations, increase the aggressiveness.

• When you configure the system on a sprayer, the Sprayer steering delay setting is available on the Vehicle Setup screen.

• Some sprayers have steering that is slow to react after you turn the steering wheel. The system uses the steering delay setting to compensate for this slowness and ensure that steering corrections occur at the correct point.

CFX-750 DISPLAY USER GUIDE

4 – Vehicle

Vehicle type Performance hint

Swather • When you configure the system on a swather, the Swather steering delay setting

is available on the Vehicle Setup screen.

• Some swathers have steering that is slow to react after the steering wheel is turned. The system uses the steering delay setting to compensate for this slowness and ensure that steering corrections occur at the correct point.

• To improve the performance of your swather, adjust the Swather steering delay setting by a small amount (0.1 seconds) at a time. Test the result between each adjustment

After using the EZ-Steer system

• Any time that you are not using the EZ-Steer system, pivot the EZ-Steer motor away from the steering wheel.

• Before you leave the vehicle turn off the EZ-Steer system power switch or remove the power plug.

A number of upload warning messages appear. Communication with the NavController II restart.

Manual Override

Note – The manual override sensitivity calibration is only valid for those platforms employing a pressure transducer for the manual override function.

It is strongly recommended that you perform this calibration only if it is determined that the default sensitivity is unacceptable under all operating conditions. The default sensitivity setting provides a balance between rapid activation of the override function and rejection of steering wheel motion due to incidental contact (for example, due to travel in a rough field).

Adjust the setting by incrementing the voltage setting up or down in increments of 0.10 V. Maximum and minimum voltage is established by vehicle and operational parameters.

The Current Sensor Value voltage or sensitivity is displayed along with the Override status that is based on comparing the setting value to the reported sensor value.

• Increasing the threshold value makes the manual override function less sensitive to steering

movements.

• Decreasing the threshold value makes the manual override function more sensitive to steering

wheel movements and will disengage Autopilot function sooner.

Calibration procedure

With the vehicle at a standstill, do the following:

1. Turn the steering wheel and evaluate the effort required to activate the Override status on the display.

2. Adjust the sensitivity level up or down by increasing or decreasing it in increments of 0.20 units.

3. Turn the steering wheel and assess whether the manual override feature is at an acceptable sensitivity level by evaluating the effort required against the Override status on the display.

4. Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 until the Calibration screen shows a suitable response.

Line Acquisition

The Line Acquisition screen enables you to fine-tune how the Autopilot system commands the steering hydraulics to approach the line.

Line acquisition parameters are set using one of the following attributes—tap when you have entered the Line Acquisition parameters:

Line Acquisition Aggressiveness

This controls how fast the guidance system commands the vehicle to steer onto the current guidance line. The value can be adjusted to between 50% and 150% of the calculated value:

• With a higher setting, the vehicle approaches the line quickly, but may overshoot the line due to

greater approach angles.

• With a lower setting, the vehicle steers onto the line more slowly, but is less likely to overshoot

the line due to lower approach angles.

Note – Ensure that you test the line acquisition performance at, below, and above the speed specified in the Vehicle Stability Warning message on the Acquisition screen. Depending on the capabilities of the machine, higher line acquisition may cause instability due to the vehicle steering not being able to respond quick enough. This inidicated sped value changes depending on the Line Acquisition Aggressiveness setting selected.

Autopilot Automated Deadzone Calibration

WARNING – Many large and sudden changes in satellite geometry caused by blocked satellites

WARNING – Obstacles in the field can cause collisions, which may injure you and damage your

Note – The Steering Sensor Setup and calibration must be performed before you run this procedure, and the vehicles hydraulic fluid must be at operation temperature.

The Autopilot Automated Deadzone Calibration runs a series of tests on the valve and steering hydraulics to determine the point at which steering movement occurs. It determines the minimum valve command required for steering movement by turning the vehicle to the right and to the left.

In this test, the system gradually actuates the steering system while determining the independent left and right point at which wheel movement occurs for each direction.

Run the Deadzone calibration till the Deadzone value displays for each side a change of less than 0.5 units.

The calibration is run multiple times and a progress indicator appears on the display during each phase of the calibration. Once each phase is completed, the display will prompt the user to steer the vehicle in a particular direction.

Pre-calibration

• Warm up the vehicle. The hydraulic fluid must be at normal operating temperature for Deadzone

calibration.

• If you perform the Deadzone calibration while the system is cold, repeat the Automated

Deadzone calibration again when the system is at operating temperature.

• Prepare the steering sensor by doing the following:

– If the vehicle has an AutoSense device, drive the vehicle in a straight line for at least one

minute.

– If the vehicle has a Potentiometer, first complete the Steering Sensor calibration.

Autopilot Steering Gain Calibration

WARNING – The wheels can move abruptly during the Steering Proportional Gain procedure

while the Autopilot system tests the hydraulic response to its steering commands. To avoid injury, be prepared for vehicle movement.

Note – The Steering Sensor Setup and calibration must be performed before you run this procedure. Run this procedure only if the Autopilot system performance is less than satisfactory.

Note – Close fields on the display before performing the calibration.

The Autopilot Steering Gain, PGain, sets the proportional gain to control steering overshoot and responsiveness. The PGain setting is a compromise between fast steering response and stability. Modifications to PGain affect two steering characteristics:

• Slew Time: The amount of time the front wheels take to move from the far left to the far right

position and vice versa.

• Overshoot: The percentage by which the front wheels exceed the commanded angle before they

settle on the correct value.

Altering these settings may correct slight variations in your vehicle due to valve response and tire to soil interaction.

High PGain values decrease the slew time and increases the overshoot. This provides rapid responses, but excessive Pgain can cause the steering to exhibit signs of instability, like a tendency to excessively overshoot and excessive wheel movement when the vehicle is online.

Low PGain values increase the slew time and decreases the overshoot. This improves the stability, but can introduce significant delays in the steering responses and can cause the vehicle to wander from side to side.

The proportional gain should be increased to the point just before any one of the following occurs:

• Slew times no longer decrease (low values are preferred).

• Overshoot exceeds 5–8% (depending on the vehicle).

• Wheels noticeably shake during online performance.

Pre-calibration

• Carry out this calibration on a hard, level surface that is free of obstructions.

• Make sure that the tractor speed is approximately 1.6 kph (1 mph) during the test.

• Calibrate the Steering Gain following a Steering Sensor calibration.

• Warm up the vehicle. The hydraulic fluid must be at normal operating temperature for Deadzone

calibration.

Prescriptions

The CFX-750 display can use a prescription file to determine the rate of application in different areas of the field.

The prescription file consists of three separate ESRI files: .shp, .dbf and .shx. Each of these files contain different attribute information that the display uses.

You must load a prescription from the USB drive to the internal memory of the CFX-750 display. The display cannot read prescriptions directly from a USB drive. For more information, see the section below.

Loading a prescription

1. Copy the prescription file from your computer to the AgGPS/Prescriptions folder on your USB drive.

Note – If you do not have an AgGPS® directory on your USB, create one by exporting field data to the USB. For more information, see Sending data to the USB drive, page 228.

2. Insert the USB drive into the USB socket, and then copy the prescription file to the display’s internal memory. See Retrieving data from the USB drive, page 228.

3. From the guidance screen, tap to create a new field or select an existing field.

The CFX-750 display searches the internal memory for prescription files, and after you define or select a field, the following screen appears in the wizard:

4. Select the prescription file that you require and then tap . The following screen appears:

5. Configure each of the items in the Prescription Parameters screen.

CAUTION – For the system to work correctly, you must select the correct Rate Column setting.

If you do not, then the applied rate will be incorrect.

HARDI 5500 controller

Note – For the HARDI 5500 controller to work correctly with the CFX-750 display, you must install firmware version 3.16 or greater on the HARDI controller and connect a JOBCOM control box.

Setup

1. Once you select the HARDI 5500 as your controller, the following screen appears on the display:

Note – Do not configure the display to output NMEA messages on the same port that your controller is connected to.

2. On the HARDI 5500 controller, go to the Settings menu.

3. Change Remote to Enable.

For more information on setting up the HARDI 5500 controller, refer to the HARDI instruction manual.

display, this item always appears as N/A.

Section control Shows the current mode for the controller.

Fence nozzle indicator This indicator appears only when a fence nozzle is enabled. Fence

nozzle status is represented with the same colors as the boom sections (see below).

Note – The CFX-750 display cannot automatically turn fence nozzles on or off. It only displays the current status.

Application indicator The wheel on the display spins when the HARDI master switch is on

and the booms are on.

Raven controllers

When using the Raven SCS 400 and 600 series controller with the CFX-750 display, note the following:

• The CFX-750 display cannot control the status of the Raven controller master or boom switches.

This means that the operator must remain in complete control of the sprayer at all times.

• The CFX-750 display cannot automatically turn off the sprayer when going outside headlands,

across exclusion zones, or previously sprayed areas.

• The sprayer may not always switch off completely when the CFX-750 sends a zero rate. This

means the operator may need to manually turn off the master switch to ensure that spray is not applied.

Note – The only time the CFX-750 display sends a zero rate is when the sprayer is outside a prescription boundary and the "Rate outside polygon" option is zero.

• The operator must ensure that the master switch is off when there is no field open so that no

spray is accidentally applied to areas that shouldn't be sprayed, for example, roads, paths, and neighboring fields.
