Setup Enter the correct receiver height above the ground. To measure the receiver height, put the implement at its working depth (if possible) and measure the height. If this is not possible, lower the implement to the ground, and subtract the desired working depth to get the value to be entered. Example: 2210 field cultivator—Lower the implement so the sweeps are on the ground. Measure the height from the ground to the top of the receiver.
Setup PC11066 —UN—29FEB08 TCM Calibration TCM Calibration A—Implement with one main axle B—Implement with carrying wheels at the front and rear One of the most important steps in making iGuide function at its peak performance is the TCM Calibration for both the machine and implement. If the TCM calibration is not performed correctly then a bias could occur in the machine, implement or both. A bias is when the machine AutoTracs down and back on the same path and the wheel tracks do not line up.
Setup Adjusting Lateral Offsets If TCM’s have been properly calibrated and machine or implement still cannot track on same line going both directions, a lateral offset should be entered. 1. The offset will be half the distance the two paths were offset and in the same direction. 2. When entering lateral offset for implement, enter a GPS offset on GPS offsets page. 3. Remember, when looking at tracks on the ground, machine and implement must be symmetrical.
Setup PC8663 —UN—05AUG05 Guidance Setup Guidance Setup MENU >> GREENSTAR >> GUIDANCE softkey >> GUIDANCE SETTINGS tab (A) MENU button PC12685 —UN—14JUL10 Select desired Tracking Mode first (refer to AutoTrac Operators Manual). If Curve Track was selected, check Curve Track settings. Set Implement Guidance Mode (B) to iGuide. Select iGuide Settings (C) to define Slope Compensation and iGuide sensitivity.
Setup Recommendation for use: • Unless the field is completely flat, the slope compensation value can aid in keeping the implement on line. • 02 degrees—Slope compensation may not be needed. Recommended starting value 1.3 cm (0.5 in.)/degree. • 25 degrees—Slope compensation provides a moderate amount of machine correction and is recommended to be turned on. Typical values of 1.3 to 3.8 cm (0.5 to 1.5 in.)/degree. • 5 degrees and above—Slope compensation is recommended to be on.
Setup CZ76372,00001DD 1912OCT103/6 PC11794 —UN—09MAR09 The slope compensation can be calibrated rather than manually entered. 1. iGuide must be active to calibrate 2. Calibrate at operating speed and with implement at operating depth 3. Do not calibrate when Roll angle is less than 2 degrees Direction of roll angle may change On tight curves A line acquisition is occurring 4. Slope compensation may not be required on slopes less than 5 degrees 5.

Tuning Guide Setting Up Implement Offsets Implement Offsets Offsets “A”, “B”, and “D” are critical for iGuide to operate efficiently. Offset “E” is not required for iGuide. NOTE: Offset “C” is required when using a non centered implement. E—Inline distance from connection point to connection point for second implement. Value only needed if second implement is used. F— Offset Toggle Button G—A+B Documentation/Swath Control location when in use.

Slope Compensation helps aids in moving the vehicle up the hill to keep the implement on the guidance line.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Tips 1. Implement receiver not showing up in the GreenStar Display Check if Constant Power Extension harness (PF90550 or PF90551) is installed. Check for latest software (version 2.3.1385 or higher) on Implement Receiver. Check if receiver is receiving Switched, Unswitched, CAN Low and CAN High power. Check machine fuse panel for blown fuses 2. Implement GPS loses RTK signal more often than machine receiver Check antenna on GPS receiver for tight connection.
Troubleshooting Always verify correct implement dimensions when using the “out of box” dimensions from the GreenStar Display or Apex. CZ76372,00001E3 1912OCT102/2 Valid Configuration iGuide requires certain settings to be available and certain offsets need to be within a defined range. If one of these constraints is not given, tracking cannot be activated. For a new, unknown implement, all offset will be zero as a default. General constraints: • Will not work with 3pt implements.
