Audible Warnings  

When se

lected “Yes” a buzzer inside the console sound when warning symbols such as the poor 

tracking symbol appear on the working screen.  The default is “Yes”. 

Auto select feelers  (only shown with mechanical crop guidance feelers fitted) 

When selected “Yes” automatically drops from vision guidance to feeler guidance when one of the 
feelers is deflected by the crop.  The default is “No”. 

Leave manual on moving 

When selected “Yes” automatic camera control takes over when motion is detected.  The default is 
“No”. 

Go to manual if lost 

When selected “Yes” control will be switched to manual if the system is unsure of row position and 
the buzzer will sound for four seconds.  If “No” is selected it will attempt to relocate the rows and 
continue vision guidance.  The defa

ult is “No”. 

Centre when entering manual 

When 

selected “Yes” the side shift or steering discs will centralise whenever manual is selected.  If 

“No” is selected the side shift or discs will stay in their current position until a manual steering input 
is mad

e.  The default is “No”. 

Error log 

This is a log of automatically generated error messages (e.g. camera connections, microcontroller 
connections and excessive camera skew)

.  Selecting “view log” displays single line messages that 

can be helpful with diagnostics.  Not all messages indicate serious faults.  On exit you have the 
option to select “clear” which erases messages or close which returns to the advanced set up & 
diagnostics menu without erasing.  These messages are saved between sessions. 

Tip

 When seeking advice over the telephone it is very useful to have an exact word for word record 

of any error messages and to make a note of numeric error codes. 

μC version 

Displays the version numbers of any microcontroller boards fitted. 

 

To exit the advanced set up and diagnostic

s screen press the bottom right button labelled “OK”.
