Measuring Field Area
1) After starting a new job, position your vehicle at the edge of the field and press Start/
Pause Boundary.
2) Set Type to Boundary

antenna to the edge of the field.
4) Press Start and drive around the field until
the start point is reached. The BlackBox will
automatically close and save the boundary map,
displaying the field shape and size in the mini
map. If the boundary doesn’t close, press the

button.
N.B. During the boundary run the boundary recording can be paused and restarted using
the Start/Pause Boundary button, if there is a need to drive around obstacles.
To do a new boundary map redo steps 1) to 3).
Tip! Boundaries are saved to the system using the Farm/Field name entered when ‘Starting a Job’
and the next time the field is entered the system will Automatically Detect the field, displaying it
in the Home screen.
