SWATH PATTERN (START/STOP)
– Swath coverage map is drawn based on seed flow. If stopped in the
field, there will be a slight delay in seed flow when starting up
causing a slight skip in the coverage map, i.e., seeding rate must
exceed row fail rate before coverage can be painted.
AUTO SECTION CONTROL SCREEN SHOWS OUT OF
FIELD
• Wrong field loaded.
• The field is too far out of range to display on the screen.
ROWS ARE NOT SHUTTING OFF AND TURNING ON AS
EXPECTED
• Implement measurements could be incorrect.
– Verify that measurements were entered as described at Physical
Layout screen.
– X measurements should be taken from the hitch pivot point to
where the seed is placed in the ground.
– Y coordinates are measured from implement center to the center of
each channel.
– Verify implement/channel assignment are correct at the Physical
Layout screen.
• Verify that the correct Implement Layout type was selected (3 point
hitch, towed hitch, rigid cart mount, or tow-behind cart).
• When operating in Monitor only mode there are no rows assigned to a
channel on the IntelliAg. However, row assignment must be entered at
the Physical Layout screen for Auto Section to perform correctly.
• If operating with only one control channel, the Y coordinate on the
Physical Layout screen should remain at “0”.
• Clutch assignment may be incorrect.
– Verify that output modules have been correctly assigned to rows at
the Module Configuration screen.
– Verify that row shutoff switches are correctly assigned to
corresponding outputs.
– Run a Clutch Section check to verify the order of clutch sections
shut on and off correctly (refer to Diagnostics screen).
• Swath control is not in Auto mode.
