AUTO SECTION TERMINAL / 9

AUTO SECTION POWER UP

The terminal automatically powers on and off when the ignition switch is

powered on and off. At startup, the screen will indicate that the system is

initializing until a connection is made with GPS and the IntelliAg PDC

controller.
When the power is turned off, an orange LED appears in the upper right

corner for approximately 1 minute while data is saving and disappears after

completing the save.

UNDERSTANDING THE FIELD MAP

The Auto Section Control Terminal displays field coverage maps for

real-time viewing of the planting operation without interruption of application

rate and seed monitoring information. The full-color display identifies

path-driven outlines, external boundaries, areas planted, and areas left to

plant.

PATH-DRIVEN OUTLINE

The outline of a field can be driven to use as a visual aid when planting.

This is not considered an external boundary so automatic row shutoff will

not occur when driving past the outline.
