Safety Notices
CAUTION:
Hydraulic equipment should be on safety stops, hydraulic
pressure relieved with machines systems turned off and all machine motion
stopped before starting work.
CAUTION: Be sure to wear proper eye protection when using any power
tools, such as when drilling any mounting holes.
IMPORTANT: Check behind vehicle and implement panels for any holes,
wiring or controls that could be damaged when drilling any holes.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect the Display, DirectCommand components and
any sensors from electrical system when welding on equipment or jump
starting unit to prevent component damage due to power surges or excessive
current.
IMPORTANT: If using a non Ag Leader GPS receiver, make sure to install a
Null Modem Cable, included in the Display Kit, to prevent damage to the
Display or GPS receiver.
IMPORTANT: Use Dielectric grease to coat the seals and terminals of each
connector that will be exposed to weather or chemicals as you plug them in.
NOTE: Be sure to follow the alignment keys on the plugs and the receptacles
carefully. Do not use excessive force when mating connectors.

Setting up the
Display Refer to the chart below for setting up the controller settings in the display:
Setting
Name
Default
Value Description
Control
Valve Bypass Servo
Rate control is achieved through actuating a butterfly or ball valve found
in the return line to the solution tank. When the valve opens, the flow
decreases and when the valve closes the flow increases.
Valve
Response 1 40 Determines the speed of the servo valve when product control error
exceeds the Response Threshold setting. Decreasing the value will
cause the servo valve to run slower.
Valve
Response 2 10 Determines the speed of the servo valve when product control error is
less than the Response Threshold setting. Decreasing the value will
cause the servo valve to run slower.
Response
Threshold 5-10
Determines where the control system switches between using Valve
Response 1 or Valve Response 2 speed setting. Leaving all other valve
control settings at the default value and making a small adjustment to
this setting is usually all that is required to fine tune system
performance.
- Decreasing this value will have the overall effect of speeding up servo
valve response.
- Increasing this value will have the overall effect of slowing servo valve
response.
Allowable
Error 2% Determines the percent of error that is allowed prior to the product control system making any flow rate corrections.
Auxiliary
Valve 1 Open When all boom sections are off, this setting opens an auxiliary valve to route product back to the product tank.
