15 Troubleshooting

15.1 General Operation

Boom does not appear to be level after system setup:
 The sensitivity setting may be too low. Check the sensor height readings from the run

screen, if it differs from the target height then try turning up the sensitivity. The default
tolerance for a sensitivity setting of 5 is ± 6 cm (2.5 inches).

 The Deadzone may be calibrated incorrectly. If the Deadzone is set too low the system

cannot make small corrections. Recalibrate the Deadzones as described in Section 8.5.3.

 The sensor offset heights may be incorrect. Refer to Section 8.5.1.

The system will not go into Automatic Mode:
 Ensure the system has completed an Automatic System Setup. If you have started and not

finished an Automatic System Setup, you will need to manually tune at least one hydraulic
function (Section 8.5.3) before the system will allow you to go into Automatic.

The system resets when a valve is turned on:
 Check the power supply. Ensure the sprayers power supply voltage is more than +12 VDC.

 This may also be caused by a damaged or defective power supply cable. Check the power

cable for a good connection to the supply.

The system randomly switches between Automatic and Manual Mode:
 This may be caused by a damaged or defective interface cable. Ensure all cables are

connected correctly. The connections should be tight and free of corrosion.

 Check the ground connection to make sure it is not corroded or damaged.

 There may be electrical noise on the sprayer’s D.C. system. Add a power line filter or

freewheeling diodes on one or more of the sprayer’s solenoid valves.
