AutoBoom® Calibration & Operation Manual
UltraGlide and UltraGlide XT Joystick Interface Functions (Center Rack Control Feature Enabled)
The following joystick control interface functions are available when operating an AutoBoom UltraGlide system
with the center rack control feature enabled.
Note:
Implement may require the activation of a boom valve and/or master switch before the center rack
control feature may be enabled.
Setting Transport Height.
Ultrasonic sensors will react to the first object that reflects an echo, whether it is
the ground or the crop canopy. Return to height and return to transport heights are sensor measurements
relative to the first reflected signal (e.g. crop canopy), not necessarily ground level.
To set the transport height to maximum center rack height:
1.
Raise the center rack above the current set transport height.
2.
Double up-tap on the center rack function switch. AutoBoom will save the maximum height as the new
transport height.
Note:
Four up-taps will also reset the transport height to the maximum center rack height as defined in
the above joystick interface function tables.
To set the transport height to a lower height than the current set transport height:
1.
Engage the return to transport height feature.
2.
Single down-tap on the center rack function switch at the desired transport height. AutoBoom will save the
current height as the new transport height.
