Theory of Operation

Active Implement Guidance system allows a symmetric implement and machine to be independently steered onto a common track. Active Implement Guidance synchronizes with AutoTrac™ functionality of machine to guide implement on same generated path.

For system to operate correctly, proper offsets are required so system knows where machine receiver is in relation to implement receiver. Offsets are entered into GreenStar™ system under equipment pages. Ensure proper setup and calibration of entire system, which includes but not limited to:

• Terrain Compensation Module (TCM) calibrated on receivers.
• SCV Threshold calibrated on an integrated system.
• Hydraulic SCV flow rate set.
• Wheel angle left, right, and center calibrated.

Engagement of system requires the following conditions:

• Active Implement Guidance activated.
• System setup and calibrated.
• Offsets entered for system.
• Integrated or universal steering system installed.
• Guidance mode selected and line created (unless using Follow Mode on initial guidance line creation).
• AutoTrac™ system enabled (3 pie state).
• SCV in Auto or AC mode and in detent state.
• Requirement to Engage selected for implement steering system.
• Implement steer status is Implement Ready.
• Machine moving at 0.8 km/h (0.5 mph) or greater.

If all conditions are met, select AutoTrac™ resume switch to engage system. AutoTrac™ reaches Active (4 pie state) and Implement Steer Status reads "Ok".

Disengage system manually by turning steering wheel (when not actively using Follow Mode), or by moving SCV lever to remove it from Auto or AC mode.

Active Implement Guidance can be used for pull-type and integral implements.

IMPORTANT: Performance of reverse operation is limited by the characteristics of each implement steering system. In most cases, reverse operation is not recommended. To avoid performance issues or possible damage to machines, know and understand the limitations of system before attempting to use Active Implement Guidance in reverse.

NOTE: Active Implement Guidance performance is limited to ability of the steering system used. Use proper steering system for current conditions.

Active Implement Guidance operates in reverse for 45 sec. After 45 sec., AutoTrac™ and Active Implement Guidance disengage.
