Hazard Detection
Another feature of SmartPad II is navigational hazard detection and warning.There may be several situations where
visibility may be poor, night application, or crop height impedes the operators ability to see potentially hazardous
objects with in the field. If these objects are previously mapped either using the SmartPad II or the Fieldware - Field
Mapping application, hazards can be viewed and utilized in hazard detection while applying product to the field. Prior
to running real-time guidance, SmartPad II must be setup to utilize the hazard detection feature, see Chapter 2 Light-
bar Alarm and Hazard Range for more information on how to setup hazard detection.
Hazard detection works similar to applied area detection. Part of the setup process is selecting the distance prior to the
hazard you want be notified, this is known as the Hazard Range. The first warning occurs as the vehicle enters the
alarm range and is approaching the hazard. The Yellow stop lights will illuminate on the lightbar and the name of the
hazard will be displayed, see Figure 3-101 and Figure 3-103. As the vehicle reaches one half of the Hazard Range
value and is still headed for the hazard, the lightbar stop lights will switch to Red and the Alarm will sound, see Fig-
ure 3-102 and Figure 3-103 (Assume hazard name is ROCK). If the hazard is not named, the word HAZARD will be
displayed on the lightbar.
