Swath Control On/Off

Some operators connect two separate fields into one using a “land bridge” between them. Product may still be applied over this strip of land if Swath Control is left on. To prevent unexpected coverage, always turn Swath Control or the master switch OFF while transporting between fields.

  1. Complete the Standard Setup Wizard to setup your GreenStar system for Swath Control. See the GETTING STARTED section earlier in this manual.

    If a client, farm, and field are NOT selected, only one Coverage map can be stored in the display. Coverage can NOT be mapped 5 miles beyond the first recorded point in the map.

  2. Create any necessary External and Internal Boundaries. Boundaries, though optional, can be helpful when using Swath Control. For example, with Swath Control Amount of Overlap set to 0%, an exterior boundary can help ensure there is no application outside of the field if a section extends over the boundary.

  3. See the SWATH CONTROL SETTINGS section of this manual to learn how to adjust your system for optimal performance.

  4. ALL of the following are required for Swath Control to function:

    Valid Swath Control activation code is entered in display

    • Swath Control capable controller is detected and displays the appropriate machine type on the Machine Setup Page.
    • Setup Wizard is complete.
    • Master Switch is on.
    • Section switch is in the ON position.
    • GPS signal status is present (SF1, SF2, or RTK).
    • Speed above 0.8 km/hr (0.5 mph)

  5. Turn Swath Control ON/OFF with the Swath Control Toggle on the GreenStar Run Page.

    If the Swath Control Toggle ON/OFF button does not appear on the Run Page, check that Valid Swath Control activation code is entered in display and a Swath Control capable controller is detected by the display (Go to Menu -> Message Center -> Electronic Control Unit Info -> See that the message counts for the controller are increasing steadily).

    If multiple Swath Control capable controllers are connected to the CAN Bus, they will automatically be prioritized and the highest priority will be the ONLY one that will work with Swath Control.
