Field-IQ System Boom Height Control

Benefits  Maintain boom height in uneven terrain  Reduce operator fatigue  Consistent spray tip height reduces drift

 Four sprayer interface kits released  Additional kits targeted  Rogator  Rogator RG series kit “Requires FIQ”  Case SPX 2009 and newer  Miller 4000 and 5000 series  New Holland SP.xxxF  Apache series, 2009 and newer Supported Models Main differences in platforms are cables, hose length, hydraulic fittings, and brackets. With FIQ installed a SIM module is already installed for manual control of switches in cab.

 Cab kit  What to order depends if Field-IQ is already installed or not.  Platform kit  Select appropriate make/model  Hose kit  Select kit to match platform make/model kit  Sensor kit  3 or 5 sensors available dependent on boom width  Passcode for CFX  Optional center section upgrade kit System Components

Valve Block Specific to Platform  Ordered to control boom wings  Upgraded to control center section

VM 430 Valve Module  Can command three valves  Same module used for Field Level II

SS-100 Ultra Sonic Sensor  Installed as a daisy chain between sensors  Must use terminators at the ends  Vibration and shock tolerant

Emergency Stop Button  Disable all booms with button before transporting or folding 1.Press Emergency Stop 2.Close field 3.Fold booms Help eliminate possibility of the booms activating while in the hangers

Installation

Key Points of Installation  Determine location of sensors  Consider placement when folding booms

Key Points of Installation  Install instructions will give suggested mounting locations

Key Points of Installation  Sensor needs minimum 24” (60cm) from crop canopy or ground depending on mode of operation

Key Points of Installation  Ensure sensor bracket does not hang below bottom of boom and drag

Communication  Sensor computes distance  Sends reading to CFX  CFX contains control algorithms  VM 430 receives digital command  Sends analog command to valve Height Sensor Valve Block VM 430 Module

Boom Status  Grey = disabled  Yellow = enabled  Green = engaged

Setting Up Boom Height Control

Setup

Setting Up Height Sensors  Boom size determines placement of sensors  Should be same height across boom

Setting Up Height Sensors  Enter distance from the sensor to spray tip to lower edge of sensor cone

Operation Setup

 Adjust only if boom consistently lowers too fast

Operation Setup  Raise setting to reduce rocking  Depends on type of boom suspension

Operation Setup  This is your on target indication scale

Operation Setup  Maximum distance tip to target

Operation Setup  Minimum distance tip to target

Operation Setup  Amount increased or decreased when adjusting the Target Height

Operation Setup  Similar to Autopilot on line aggressiveness  Influenced by ground conditions

Installation Verification  After installation  Manually verify connections and hydraulics  Similar to Autopilot

Calibration Have the center boom in a lower state and all booms level

Advanced Tab Features  Allows changes to setup wizard and advanced system changes

Importance of Signal Input Module

Using In Cab Controls

Additional Advanced Features

Diagnostics of Hardware

Operation  To enable a zone, select it individually  To enable all zones, select center Enable All  Only available when system is not engaged and all zones are disabled

Operation  Buttons turn yellow when section enabled

Operation  To Disengage sections, tap each one individually or tap engage button to disengage all.

Operation  Arrow indicates direction zone being commanded to reach the Target Height

Run Screen Controls  Adjust Target Height - tap increase or decrease arrow  Adjust Aggressiveness - tap increase or decrease arrow  To set Target Height to the current height - tap Set to Current button
