This upgrade  allows the unit  to send application rate information  using  variable 
rate  application  maps  to  the  controller  attached  to  the  implement.  Adding 
Variable Rate to the Blackbox is simple and the compatibility list of controllers is 
extensive:

 

 

 

 

Amazone  and   

 

Bogballe 2003w, Uniq and Icon’

 

 

Raven 400, 600, 4000  

 

LH Agro 5000, 500, 6000 

 

 

Kuhn Quantron L, M, P, E  

 

Kverneland Group  

 

Passtronic  

 

RDS Pro Series  

 

Vaderstad

  

 

Dickey John 

 

Teagle Tulip Centreliner

 

  

Auto Shut Off 

 

With auto shut  off setup on the unit,  when  driving  into an area  which  has been 
worked  (indicated  by  the  green  area  coverage  recording  in  the  job  screen),  a 
signal  will  be  sent  to  the  controller  to  stop  the  implement  working.  After  driving 
out of the worked area the unit will send a new signal to the controller to start the 
implement working again.  

 

N.B. Function not fully compatible with Amazone controllers.
