Leveling models
The FieldLevelII system has five leveling models:
l Point and Slope: The system levels at a consistent upward or downward slope, regardless of
the vehicle’s direction. This can be useful for installing tile and field drainage.
l Multiplane Design: The FieldLevel II system supports external leveling designs from Multiplane
design software. This software can run a wide range of “what if” scenarios, enabling you to
create complex designs with multiple field sections. You can export these design control files
and then load them into the FieldLevel II system to shape the field surface based on the work in
the office.
l Plane (flat): Use this leveling model to level a field that has previously been measured with a
laser. The FieldLevel II GPS system will correct the design heights to a plane surface to match
your previous laser system.
l Plane (Earth Surface): Use this model to level a field using the FieldLevel II GPS system. No
corrections will be made to a flat plane, so the surface will be curved to match the surface of the
Earth. This is the most accurate model to use so that water sits at an equal depth across a field.
l Contour: The system guides you around a contour and indicates whether to drive up or down
to maintain your current level. This is designed for marking rice levees.

Target height
1.
At the Home screen, tap .
2.
At the Configuration screen, tap FieldLevel II and then tap Diagnostics.
3. At the Field Level Diagnostics screen, use the Height Control options to set the target height.
4. You can test valve functionality at any time at this screen without the need for a GPS position
or an active field design open. See FieldLevel II diagnostics valve test (page 503).
