Headland Approach Display
The Headland Approach Display shows the distance to upcoming headland boundaries in-
stead of the swath number in the left alphanumeric display. A symbol is also displayed which
indicates entering or leaving the headland area. When the machine is in a headland ap-
proaching a boundary to the spray ON area, the approach display comes on one-quarter
swath width from the boundary. When the machine is in the field approaching a boundary to
the headlands, the approach display comes ON one swath width from the boundary.
See the configuration DSP-APR, which provides ON, FLA, or OFF Approach Display control
settings. The default setting is ON as described here. When DSP-APR is set to FLA, the
Headland Approach Display and Swath Number will show alternately (i.e. FLAsh). When
DSP-APR is set to OFF, the center top green LED still flashes to indicate an approaching
headland boundary.
When operator is leaving a headland area and approaching the parallel swath area, the center
top green LED will flash (center bottom green LED is OFF). The Headland Approach
Display shows the distance to the headland boundary, instead of the swath number. This
prompts the operator to prepare to turn the applicator ON. The center top and bottom green
LED’s will both go ON when the operator crosses the boundary into the parallel swath area.
When the operator is approaching an upcoming headland area, the center top green LED will
flash (center bottom green LED is ON). The Headland Approach Display shows the
distance to the headland boundary, instead of the swath number. This prompts the operator to
prepare to turn the applicator OFF. The center top and bottom green LED’s will both go OFF
when the operator crosses the boundary into the headland area.
