Display Theory of Operation

IMPORTANT: It is important to follow proper use guidelines with the GSD2600 touch screen. Under no circumstance should you contact the touch screen with an object harder or sharper than a fingertip (pen, pencil point, or any metal objects). Heavy pressure can also damage underlying components and void the touch screen warranty. Light amounts of pressure, if exerted continuously, can degrade touch screen reliability. The GSD2600 should be stored near room temperature during the off season with no items contacting the touchscreen surface.

The 2600GreenStar™ display is primarily used as an operator interface for SprayStar applications. The display’s primary navigational point is the touchscreen which allows the operator to input information by touching the screen. Its primary purpose is to display chassis or wet system information. It has the capability to simultaneously display information from multiple sensors.

SprayStar can be used in conjunction with other Ag Management Solution products such as GreenStar Guidance Parallel Tracking and AutoTrac Assisted Steering Systems and Field Doc. Setup and operation information for these programs can be found in their respective operator manuals.

The 2600 display has an integrated performance monitor that can be used to record area and other data based on implement width and ground speed.

From time to time, John Deere AMS publishes software updates to the GS2 system over the internet at www.StellarSupport.com. Each display also comes with a GS2 Live Update CD. Live Update can be installed on an internet connected PC and alert the user when updates to the display are available. It will then walk the user through the downloading process. The download can be stored on a data card, and inserted into the display to complete the update.
