Marking the Pivot Reference Circle
When the Smartbar is configured for Pivot Pattern and the Pivot Pattern has been cleared,
press the MENU button until the left alphanumeric display reads “P1” and the right display is
blank. This display prompts the operator to mark the first point on the Pivot Reference Circle.
While driving the Pivot Reference Circle, mark the first point by pressing the SELECT button.
The display will initially indicate “P2 0”, prompting for the second point. While marking
points on the Pivot Reference Circle, the right display indicates difference, in degrees, be-
tween the current Course Over Ground (COG) and the previous point’s COG. As you drive
around the Pivot Reference Circle away from the P1 mark, the right display will increase your
COG changes. Continue around the Pivot Reference Circle and mark P3. When three points
are marked, the Smartbar can calculate a center and radius for the Pivot Reference Circle.
After P3 is marked, the Smartbar offset LED’s and angle LED’s will display guidance indica-
tions as you drive around the Pivot Reference Circle. Each time a new point is marked, the
Smartbar recalculates the center and radius of the Pivot Reference Circle. Continue marking
points while driving around the Pivot Reference Circle. There must be at least 17 feet (5
meters) distance and 12o change in COG between each pivot reference point. When the
guidance indicators match the path you are driving, the center and radius have been accu-
rately determined. Press the DOWN button to complete the Pivot Reference Circle marking
phase.
After the Pivot Reference Circle is marked, the Smartbar determines the location of circular
swath #1 and the swath number of the Pivot Reference Circle. After the DOWN button was
pressed to complete the Pivot Reference Circle marking, the left display shows the swath
number and the right display shows offset error as in parallel swathing.
When marking Pivot Reference Circle points, the operator should press the SELECT button
when the machine is as close as possible to the circumference line being followed. Pivot
Reference Circle accuracy is determined by the accuracy of marking these points.
