Tracking Tones

Press letter button next to TRACKING TONES (IN.) to toggle between tracking tone selections. Tones can be set to sound when a desired off track error is reached. This selection also allows tracking tones to be turned off.

Tracking tones can be used as an audible indication of steering direction. If track is to the right of machine, two low beeps will sound, if to the left of machine a single high beep will sound. Alarm will repeat twice a second until off-track error between machine and desired track is outside threshold as described below.

The following shows off track error thresholds, at which tones can be set to turn on and off.

  • 15 cm (6 in) on = 30 cm (12 in) off
  • 30 cm (12 in) on = 102 cm (40 in) off
  • 45 cm (18 in) on = 152 cm (60 in) off
  • 60 cm (24 in) on = 203 cm (80 in) off
  • Auto 15 cm (6 in) on = 203 cm (80 in) off

When auto mode is selected frequency of tone increases as off track error increases.
