Yara N-Sensor User Manual

Yara N-Sensor V3.10 Operation Manual
For proper operation, this symbol should appear only on a small frac-
tion of the whole area. If it displays regularly (i. e. on more than 10%
of the field area), the selected Growth stage or the Biomass cutoff set-
ting may be wrong.
Uniform rate: The N-Sensor is currently applying a uniform applica-
tion rate either because the Uniform button has been pressed in the
work screen or because of an error condition which forced the system
to apply uniformly. Press Sensor again on the work screen to return to
sensor-controlled application.
Raster map: A raster map (prescription map) is available and the ve-
hicle position is within the map borders. The selected application
mode determines whether and how the rates are interpreted: not at
all, as offset map, as overlay map or as application map (see section
3.2 for further details).
The symbol shows an excerpt of the map with the current GPS posi-
tion marked with a red crosshair. As the vehicle is moving, the map
moves beyond the crosshair and the rate changes accordingly.
Unless the selected application mode (see section
3.2) does not
make use of map data, the map rate is displayed on top of the icon in
addition.
This symbol is only displayed if a raster map has been assigned to
the current task and the GPS position is within the map.
Sprayer warning: (Potato haulm killing operation mode only) The
current recommended application rate is too low for the sprayer to
adapt accordingly. If possible, increase the speed of the vehicle.
2.3.2 Start/Stop button
Start: Press the Start button to start the variable-rate application. Ap-
plication rates are continuously transmitted to the controller and data
is logged. The green moving indicator (see below) appears.
Stop: Press Stop to stop the variable-rate application. The system
stops sending rates to the controller and it stops logging data. The
red indicator bar appears (see below).
Padlock: The padlock indicates that the system does not have a
valid license. It cannot be started until a valid license code has been
entered. To enter the code, touch the padlock or select License in the
N-Sensor menu (see section
3.2). The 8-digit license code can be ob-
tained from the local service partner.
2.3.3 Start/Stop symbols
Red indicator bar: The system is currently not activated. In this
mode, the N-Sensor does not communicate with the fertilizer distribu-
