Outback S-Lite User Guide 19 PN 875-0194-000 Rev D1
Chapter 3: Using Guidance Features
Status Indicators
The Headland Alert indicator lights when
the vehicle crosses into a previously
applied area.
A=B Points
Required
Yes. The A=B defines the first pass
and then all other passes are laid
out automatically.
No. Guidance is based on
previous passes.
Guides from
Previous Pass
No. Straight guidance only looks
at predefined parallel lines spaced
by the width of the implement, as
entered in the Swath Width menu.
Yes. Once S-Lite “sees” another
previous pass close by, it
automatically begins to guide on
that pass. Wherever the previous
pass goes guides the next pass.
Numbered
Passes
Yes. The first A=B line is pass #0.
Passes to the right increment +1,
+2, etc. and passes to the left
decrement -1, -2, etc.
No
Swath Width
Integrity Across
the Field
Yes. Since guidance is always
looking at predetermined parallel
lines, all passes will be in perfect
multiples of the swath width. This
works well when planting,
harvesting, ditching, and
furrowing.
No. Since guidance is always
working from the last pass, driving
errors add as the vehicle works
across the field. Each pass
redefines the next pass.
Switching
Modes
Yes. You can switch from Straight
to Contour mode at any time.
Contour mode recognizes passes
previously done in Straight mode.
Yes. You can switch S-Lite
guidance modes by pressing the
STRAIGHT GUIDANCE or
CONTOUR GUIDANCE buttons.
When switching to Straight mode,
you have the option of using a
previously defined A=B line, or
setting a new one.
Skip Passes? Yes. You can complete passes in
any order desired. They will still
be uniformly spaced across the
field.
If you skip an area, S-Lite
recognizes it as a new pass and
continues logging. S-Lite can
either guide off the new pass or
continue guiding off the old
passes.
