Separate Headlands
1. If HDL configuration is not already set to SEP, enter the Configuration Mode, go to
SWA
main menu, HDL sub-menu, and set HDL to SEP. Exit the Configuration Mode.
2. Use the MENU button to advance to the HDL guidance screen.
3. Use the SELECT button to mark headlands points as you drive the headlands area.
In the diagram on the previous page, you would press the SELECT button at each of
H01 through H11. At any point in marking headlands, you could press the MENU
button and then go mark the A-B line and direction. You can then use the MENU
button to cycle back around to the HDL guidance screen.
4. As you are marking headlands, the guidance LED’s will keep you headed along a
straight line. You need at least 2 points to be guided. For example, in the diagrams on
the previous page, you need at least H01 and H02 before you get guidance. Note that
the even-numbered headlands points, (H02, H04, H06, ...) in the diagrams are used to
establish a new line along which you wish guidance. You can store up to 100 head-
lands points.
5. Press the DOWN button to complete headlands. This will cause the total acres, in-
cluding headlands, to be calculated and displayed on the ACR screen. The ACR
screen will show whole acres and fractional acres alternately. The fractional part of
acreage is identified by a decimal point in the first display place. (If you are using
metric units, ‘ACR’ is replaced by ‘HET’ for ‘Hectares’).
6. Press the MENU button to go mark the A-B line and direction, if you haven’t already
done so.
7. As you drive each of swaths S1 through S4, the top and bottom Guidance Status
LED’s will be on when you are not in the headlands area and will be off when you are
in the headlands area (the shaded area in the diagram). When the LED’s go off, it is
time to turn off the spray and make the turn. As you approach the headlands area
within half a swath width, the top Guidance Status LED will flash. When you arrive at
the headlands area, the top and bottom LED’s will go out. The center LED stays on to
indicate that you are still on the swath. Spraying can resume when the LED’s turn on
again. Angle and offset distance LED’s guide you as they would in a BF swath pattern
without headlands.
IMPORTANT:
Headlands along track indicator LED’s are based upon the center of the swath
line.
8. With Separate, you can clear the A-B line and headlands either separately or to-
gether. Press the MENU button until you are at the CLR...ALL screen. Pressing the
SELECT button at this point will clear both the A-B line and the headlands. To clear
the A-B line or headlands individually, press the DOWN button. The DOWN button
takes you to the CLR
sub-menu. Press the MENU button until desired item is showing
in the right alphanumeric display. Then press the SELECT button to clear that item.
