Limp Home 10 Amp Fuse

A - Limp Home 10 Amp Fuse on Main Sprayer Harness

If communications between the GS2 Display and the GreenStar Rate Controller fail for any reason, the user can elect to operate the system in a limited functionality mode in order to finish a field.

By removing the in-line fuse located in the main harness, the GreenStar Rate Controller will enter limp-home mode. While in limp-home mode, the system will do the following:

• Enable all implement sections.
• Disable fence row nozzles.
• Calculate flow rate based upon the standard limp home speed of 8 km/h (5 mph), predefined Rate 1, and the full implement width.

Limp Home mode assumes all CAN/Bus communications have been lost, thus it defaults to Rate 1, the original operating width, and a fixed speed number of 8 km/h (5 mph).

NOTE: It is the operator’s responsibility to keep the tractor at 8 km/h (5 mph) to ensure the proper rate is being dispensed.

If the operator is using the Switch box Controls, only the master switch on the switch box will work.

If the Limp Home fuse is lost or destroyed, it can be replaced by a common automotive type 10-Amp fuse.

NOTE: Limp Home mode does not function when NH3 Tool or planter is the selected implement type.
