5.7 GPS Control
The QUANTRON-A control unit can be combined with GPS-compatible devices.
Various data is exchanged between both devices to automate control.
The OptiPoint function calculates the optimal switching-on and switching-off
point for spreading in the headlands on the basis of the settings in the control unit;
see 4.6.9: Calculate OptiPoint (AXIS only), page 50
.
The symbol A next to the spreading wedges indicates that the automatic function
is enabled. The control unit opens and closes the individual sections depending
on the respective position in the field. The spreading starts only after pressing
Start/Stop.

Risk of injury due to ejected fertiliser

cally, without warning. Escaping fertiliser may lead to injury of the
eyes and nasal mucous membrane. There is also a risk of slipping.

the spreading operation.
