Swath width and Navigation
Setting the swath width and navigation system is at the discretion of the customer. A
40-
60’ (12-18 m) swath works well in most areas. In areas of high soil variability, a
narrower swath may be preferred. Several methods of navigation are possible:
following previous crop rows, swath guidance, or using a field navigation computer.
While it is important to map in a consistent pattern, it isn’t absolutely critical that each
pass be exactly the same distance from the previous pass.
Signal Cable
Attach the EC signal cable to the quick connect coupler at front of frame, and to Signal
Port on the Auxiliary case

Adjustable Wing Extensions (XA option)
The MSP3150 with XA (Extendable Array): This option allows the re-positioning of the
electrodes to fit various bed and crop configurations. Adjustment is made by loosening
the jam nuts and set screws located on the lower front of each side of the toolbar,
adjusting the toolbar wing extensions, and re-tightening the set screws. Veris suggests
setting the toolbars at either the maximum or minimum setting, not at a point in
between. A limiter bolt determines full extension, so there should be no danger of
extending to the point at which the outside coulters disconnect from the main frame.
Important
– do not attempt to combine maps in which two different investigative depths
are used.
• Pinch point hazard: to prevent injury, stand clear when raising or lowering any part of
the Veris MSP. Disengage automatic cycling function before working around unit.
• Install all transport locks before transporting or working underneath.
