AutoFold Calibration

To navigate to the AutoFold Calibration page:

  1. Select the Settings icon. The Machine Settings page will open.

  2. Select the Calibrations button or use the drop-down list to select Calibrations. The Calibrations page will open.

  3. On the Calibrations page, select the AutoFold Calibration button.

AutoFold Calibration recalibrates the sensors used for performing automatic folding and fore/aft operations. This should be performed if sensors have been adjusted/replaced, or if AutoFold is not completing an AutoFold IN or AutoFold OUT sequence.

  1. Fold the boom and lower the booms completely into the cradle.

  2. Raise the booms above the cradle. This should be mid-way between the height that clears the cradle lip and the maximum allowed height when the booms return to the cradle. This is the height the boom will move to when returning to the cradle.

  3. Unfold the left and right inner joints fully. Leave the outer joints folded. Tilt the booms down to the fullest travel extent.

  4. Unfold the left and right outer joints fully.

    Note:  For three jointed booms, also unfold the middle joints.

    Note:  The booms may be raised up to complete this step.

  5. Raise the center rack to the maximum height and tilt the booms up to the full travel extent.

  6. Lower the center rack to its minimum position. Booms may be tilted down to horizontal.

  7. Move the booms and center rack to the desired spray position. This is the position the boom will move to when AutoFolding out. Note that the center rack height will be relearned each time an AutoFold in operation is performed. Left and Right tilt will not be relearned.
