Implement Color Indicators

These indicators show the position and direction of the vehicle and its implement.

The implement color indicates the status of the product application as follows (Figure 12):

  • Red—the boom section is off.

  • Blue—the boom section is inhibited (on and not flowing, typically due to low speed or pressure).

  • Yellow—the boom section is on and not flowing intentionally (typically due to auto-section control stopping the flow).

  • Green—the boom section is on and flowing.

    g031203

The following are important acronyms for the user to understand:

  • WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System)—This positioning-correction system was developed by the US Federal Aviation Administration to serve as an air navigation aid by improving the accuracy and availability of the GPS signals.

  • RTK (Real Time Kinematic)— RTK Network - a group of land-base stations that transmit position data to a server through the internet. GPS guided machines equipped with RTK correction exchange data with the server, transmitting position information and receiving correction information through cellular data exchanges. The server uses the position data from the base station to calculate position-correction data and transmits it to the vehicles through the cellular modem. The corrected GPS position provides location accuracy between 1 to 2 cm (0.39 to 0.79 inch) in real time.

  • GLONASS (Global Navigation Satellite System (Russian GNSS))—This allows the GPS receiver to use the Russian satellite navigation system in addition to GPS.

Operation

The computer in the automatic section controller (ASC) controls the spray application rate for varying vehicle speeds. You set the target volume per unit area to spray, and the ASC automatically maintains the flow within the proper range of the vehicle speed and continually displays the actual volume of material per area sprayed. The X25 control console also monitors the area sprayed, the speed of the vehicle, and the total volume of material sprayed.

You can configure global positioning system options for the GeoLink system 2 ways:

  • Set the GPS to use the WAAS with the RTK correction (GPS signal with position and location correction data transmitted through a cellular modem).

  • Set the GPS to use the WAAS only (GPS with no correction data) for location and guidance.

Setting the GeoLink system to use the WAAS with RTK correction increases the positioning accuracy of the GeoLink spray system and enables additional capabilities with the X25 control console.

Note: Ensure that the sprayer is calibrated correctly before starting to spray.

Note: Ensure that the InfoCenter is set to GeoLink before using the display to spray.

Understanding the Different Display Modes

The availability of the sprayer controls, options, and settings depend upon which display mode you are using. The display mode is controlled through the user access level menu on the settings screen.

  • Easy Mode—This mode is intended for general spraying that all operators can use.

  • Standard Mode—This mode is intended for job setup, field boundary creation, calibration and general spraying. You can password protect the standard mode and use this mode for setting up extra features of the GeoLink system. The standard mode information is in video format. Please refer to the videos on the USB drive that came with the GeoLink system or on www.Toro.com.

    Note: Use the standard mode when you map a spray boundary.

  • Expert Mode—This mode is intended for the distributor to use when diagnosing and troubleshooting system issues. The expert mode is password protected and allows the distributor to help with customer service.
