84 CONTAINER SETUP (AS APPLIED APPLICATION) Overview This chapter covers container setup for the As Applied software application. This application tracks container level and refill events for each product which uses a container. This chapter explains: how to setup a container(s) for the various liquid products how to setup level monitoring for the container(s) how refill events are managed and recorded From the home screen, press the Toolbox icon to access the toolbox screens. Press the Contnr icon on the navigation bar to access the Container Setup screen. A container is associated with a single product which is being applied. As product is applied, the container contents are decreased by the applied amount. The software knows how to decrease the container contents because the target application rate units and the container capacity units are the same (L or gal.). The software alerts the operator when the container contents level falls below the warning level set by the operator: an icon flashes in the status/warning area when the warning level is reached. Logging of container filling, refilling, and flushing events are controlled by the Time Tracking window. When time tracking is enabled the events are recorded. Container fill level is then reset by using several pop-up windows. When time tracking is disabled the events are not recorded and container fill level is reset with fewer pop-up windows.

103 Overlap control uses the as applied maps for the field to determine when vehicle sections are crossing an area of the field where product application has already occurred. The appropriate vehicle boom section or sections are turned off as the vehicle enters an applied area and turned on again if the sprayer travels into an area where no product application has occurred. The overlap control icon appears in the Status/Warning area to indicate when a section has been disabled to minimize overlap. The operator determines whether overlap is enabled with the Overlap Control window. The Overlap Control window can only be enabled for automatic operation when Auto is selected in the Product Control window of the Product Controller Setup screen. The operator can activate overlap control with the Overlap Control window placed on a Run Screen. The operator also specifies, as a percentage, how much overlap must be present before a section is turned off and, the start and stop distances for when the product drives are started and stopped relative to the field area already sprayed.

Set the Overlap Control and Boundary Control windows to On. Set the Start Early Distance and Stop Late to RCIL11DSP054BAG 1 RCIL10DSP315BBG

108 WARNING Hazard to bystanders! Make sure the area surrounding the machine is clear of all persons before starting the engine. Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury. W0090A 3. Position an observer at the edge of the coverage area and at a safe distance from the booms. Drive the sprayer into and out of the coverage area at a normal operating speed to test overlap control. 4. Assuming that the edge of coverage is the exact point where the booms should turn on and off, estimate the amount of error and determine whether the overlap decision was made too early or too late: Too early (A): the sprayer leaves a gap when entering a headland (or exiting the field at a boundary) and over-applies when leaving a headland (or entering the field at a boundary). Too late (B): the sprayer over-applies when entering a headland (or exiting the field at a boundary) and leaves a gap when leaving a headland (or entering the field at a boundary). RCIL11DSP087BAG 3 5. Navigate to Home > Toolbox > Machine to update the product delay value: If the overlap decision was too late, increase the product delay value accordingly. If the overlap decision was too early, decrease the product delay value accordingly. NOTE: Repeat steps 3 through 5 until the overlap decision takes affect with very little or no error at normal operating speeds. RCIL11DSP070BAG

109 6. Use the Start Early Distance and Stop Late distance windows on the Overlap Control Setup screen to set the amount of intentional overlap: Use the Start Early Distance window to set an amount of intentional overlap when going out of headlands or coverage areas Use the Stop Late Distance window to set an amount of intentional overlap when going into headlands or coverage areas NOTE: These settings depend on operator preference and operating speeds. NOTE: These settings only apply to overlap control at coverage areas and not to boundary control. Product delay, adjusted in steps 3 through 5 above, controls performance at boundaries.

127 E-NOTES Overview Although needed by any vehicle which performs spraying, the E-Notes application is available for any farming operation where tracking field and weather conditions is important. The E-Notes screens are located under the Performance icon. A GPS receiver is not required to use the E-Notes application; however, the Grower, Farm, Field, Task and Crop windows must be populated before the notes screens become active. Any information on field and weather conditions is automatically saved to the task on the data card. Weather information is time and date stamped at the time of observation and can be updated as frequently as required as conditions change. To minimize the steps for an operator, the selections on all note screens apply to all subsequent tasks until they are changed. Changing any component in the active data set grower, farm, field, task, crop, etc. or powering the display off and then on does not reset the windows to their default selection. The operator only visits the note screens when any of the note windows must be changed. This chapter explains: how to select soil type, moisture and condition and crop residue for the current field on the Field Notes screen how to select sky condition, wind speed and direction, temperature and humidity, and create and update the time and date stamp for the same on the Weather Notes screen how to create notes and create, edit or select spray tips for spraying operations on the Xtra Notes screen On the home screen, press the Performance icon to access the performance screens.

In Auto mode, the map zooms to the extent of the current sprayer location and the selected field. As the sprayer moves, the map is dynamically scaled to keep the sprayer and the field in the map window. As the field size increases, the map scale decreases. In Field mode, the entire field is displayed, and the size of the map is zoomed dynamically to fit the available window. As the field size increases, the map adjusts to keep the field extent in the window. This is the default view. If the sprayer moves outside the work area, it is no longer shown on the map. This is a clear indication that the wrong field is selected as the active field. RAIL12DSP0504BA
