SYSTEM CALIBRATION
TURN COMPENSATION FEATURE
To verify the Turn Compensation feature is enabled and operating:
NOTE: Complete the procedure outlined in the Nozzle Control Valve Function section on page 14 to validate
the nozzle control valve function prior to performing the following procedure.
Turn Compensation is automatically calibrated during the calibration wizard. If the feature is not
operating as described below, refer to the “Turn Compensation Calibration” section on page 32 for
assistance with calibrating the turn compensation feature if necessary.
1. Move the implement to an open area where the equipment may be driven in quick, tight turns.
2. Verify that the turn compensation feature is enabled.
3. Set the system to automatic mode and toggle the section and master switches to the on positions. Refer to
Chapter 5, Hawkeye Operation, for additional assistance with operation of the nozzle control system.
4. While driving at a speed between 5 and 10 mph [8 and 16 km/h] and maintaining a safe working distance,
observe the inner-most and outer-most spray tips while the implement is turning sharply.
NOTE: For fertilizer applicators, keep the toolbar raised so it is easier to observe the stream from each
nozzle.
NOTE: The nozzle PWM percent value may also be used to monitor the operation of nozzle control valves
across the spray boom. Refer to Chapter 7, Hawkeye Nozzle Control Valve Diagnostics, for additional
assistance with on-screen nozzle control valve diagnostics.
While turning, the nozzle control valves toward the outside of the corner should begin to output a higher flow
rate (higher PWM percent), while valves toward the inside of the corner should begin to output a reduced flow
rate (lower PWM percent) or may shut off. The difference between inner and outer flow rates will vary
depending on machine speed, turn rate, and implement width. Turn compensation can also be observed on
the Diagnostics Info page. ECU Yaw Rate will be zero while stationary. If turning clockwise, the ECU Yaw Rate
will be positive, if turning counter clockwise, the ECU Yaw Rate will be negative.
5. If the operator is able to observe a difference in the spray pulsing, or the on-screen PWM percent, the turn
compensation feature is working correctly. If there is no difference between the PWM percent values across the
implement width, recalibrate the turn compensation feature and repeat the test.
SIDEKICK PRO ICD INJECTION INITIAL SETUP AND CALIBRATION
INJECTION WIZARD AND CALIBRATION
The injection wizard must be completed the first time that the Sidekick Pro ICD system is powered up on the
ISOBUS network or if the default system settings are reset. The injection wizard allows the operator to quickly
assign the detected devices on the ISOBUS to the correct product channel.
Review the following sections for assistance with completing the injection wizard for the Sidekick Pro ICD Direct
Injection system.
NOTE: Refer to the VT operation manual for additional setup, operation, or calibration information before
operating the Sidekick Pro ICD Direct Injection system or features.
