GUID-735CC2A2-B31A-4884-9C8A-4B3455841B8B [V2]

2.1.9 How to disengage the automatic steering


If the angle between the driving line of the tractor and the wayline is more than 75°, Valtra Guide
disengages. If the distance to the wayline is too much, Valtra Guide disengages. With the decimeter
precision, the maximum distance is 1.2 meters. With the centimeter precision, the maximum distance is
0.6 meters.
It is necessary to disengage the automatic steering and control the tractor manually in these conditions.
• The line of travel is blocked.
• The tractor does not stay on course.
Valtra Guide disengages also when you get up from the operator's seat. However, we do not recommend
that you disengage Valtra Guide with this procedure when the tractor moves.

Procedure

1. These manual procedures disengage the automatic steering:


a) Turn the steering wheel clockwise or counterclockwise for some degrees.
If the TwinTrac reverse drive system is not used, the steering wheel for TwinTrac does not
disengage the automatic steering. If the TwinTrac reverse drive system is used, the front steering
wheel does not disengage the automatic steering. But the front steering wheel does have an
effect on the steering.
b) Drive less than 0.1 km/h for at least 10 seconds.
c) Deactivate Valtra Guide from the master activation switch.
2. If these procedures do not disengage the automatic steering, push the Valtra Guide engage button.

2.1.10 Radio frequency exposure requirements


To comply with the radio frequency exposure requirements, maintain at least 25 cm (10 in) between the
user and the radio modem.
Handling the cord of this product, or cords associated with accessories sold with this product, will expose
you to lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Wash hands after handling.
GUID-4A0E348D-8862-48F6-84BB-C8D98B081944 [V2]

2.1.11 UHF radio


A license is necessary if you use an Ultra High Frequency (UHF) radio. Fines and other penalties can be the
result if you use a UHF radio without a license. It is necessary to obey all local laws when you use a UHF
radio. Local authorities can give more information on what is necessary when you use a UHF radio.
Every country have their own individual UHF radio frequencies. Before the use of UHF radio, do a check of
the allowed frequencies from your local authorities and set the UHF radio frequency accordingly.
Because of the Real Time Kinematic (RTK) mode, UHF is the most common choice of communication
between a base station and a receiver. The quality and strength of the UHF signals have an effect on the
range for UHF communications.
1. Local conditions, such as topography, local communications and meteorological conditions, have an
effect on the range of the system and the RTK communications. If necessary, use a scanner to find
clear channels.
2. It is possible to increase the range of the system if you adjust the base station antenna in these
procedures:
• The radio modem of the base station must have a fully charged battery.
• Directional antennas and repeaters increase the system range. With the directional antennas, you
get the full signal power from a narrower direction and thus increase the range of the system.

3.1.1 GNSS and correction signal


GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) is a global navigation satellite system designed for position
determination and navigation using satellite signals and signals received from pseudolites (terrestrial
transmitters which emit signals like those of a satellite).
GNSS satellites communicate their exact position and time via radio. For position determination a receiver
has to be supplied with signals from at least four satellites simultaneously. The four signal propagation
times (from the satellites to the receiving aerial) are then calculated in the receiving device. This is used to
determine the current position.
Stationary receiving stations improve positional accuracy by transmitting correction signals (DGPS) to
users:
• With geostationary satellites such as the European EGNOS, the American WAAS and various other
providers
• Terrestrially with a base station or RTK network

steer the implement.
If the implement does not run concentrically to the
vehicle because it is pulled downhill, for example,
the automatic steering is not as accurate.

3. Signal definition and characteristics

• The wave angle and thus reception of the


correction signal decreases as the vehicle
moves north.
• Hills can make the reception of satellite signals
weaker.
• The GNSS system does not offer uniform
availability around the clock and for every
location.

3.1.3 Signal interruption


Position determination takes a certain amount of time after activation before reaching the specified level of
accuracy. Temporary obstruction may cause the system to lose its connection to the satellite signal. This
may result in reduced levels of accuracy, the need to redetermine position, or failures depending on the
system.
GUID-7CF2F5A9-3FE9-4108-BE7E-4AC31003BED3 [V3]

3.1.4 Static and dynamic accuracy (satellite drift)

Satellite drift
A certain amount of drift occurs on satellite-based navigation systems. The accuracy is therefore defined
statistically and specified as a percentage of the operational period.
• Static accuracy: Measured position of the stationary machine over 1–3 days. The average value
determined states how close the measured value comes to the actual position.
• Dynamic accuracy: Pass-to-pass accuracy from wayline to wayline, which must be achieved when
crossing the field within 15 minutes. If a longer period of time passes between two passes, a certain
amount of drift will be noticeable.
GUID-039C1E61-42EB-4B16-9DFC-3E8B189569C4 [V1]

3.1.5 Convergence time


The convergence time is the time necessary for the system to determine the position of the tractor after
you activate the system. It is necessary to give some time to the satellite-based correction signals to get
the correct level of accuracy. Signal interruptions, for example buildings, trees and other obstacles, make
this procedure slower. If there is an extended stop in the correction signal, the level of signal precision
decreases, and the system does the signal settings again.
GUID-9F5E9435-E526-407D-8604-BCC4AB3332D0 [V2]

3.1.6 Accuracy and strength indicator


NOTE:
Automatic wayline guidance can only be activated with the yellow bar displayed.
The accuracy of positioning is dependent upon the positions of the satellites relative to each other and the
position of the receiver, as well as the accuracy of time measurement and the runtime.
At favourable angles (~ 90°), the accuracy of measurement will be greater than at acute angles or angles of
approx. 180°.
HDOP (Horizontal Dilution of Precision)
The HDOP value is a measure of measured value scatter; the lower the value, the lower the degree of
measurement error.

3.1.8 Basic system features

Operating conditions
Best conditions for the reception of satellite signals:
• The tractor is on level ground or the base station is horizontal
• There are no blockages between the signal source and the signal reception

26 Smart farming
39 924 21 5
3. Signal definition and characteristics

Basic system features


• Valtra Guide can steer the tractor with driving speed between 0,1 km/h and 25 km/h both forward and
reverse.
• Automatic steering along parallel waylines in straight lines and curved lines
• Move a wayline manually or automatically to zero the drift
• Save the implement settings
• Possibility to set the offset for the implements that are not on the center line of the tractor
• Save waylines, boundaries, obstacles, markers and worked areas in fields
• Current wayline number shows on the map screen
• The worked area shows on the map screen
• One RTK base station can transmit the correction signal to multiple Valtra Guide receivers
GUID-319AE142-FF9C-4DEA-8115-8D2BE99DD05E [V3]

3.1.9 Restrictions
• Copses, trees and buildings can prevent the reception of the GNSS signal or the correction signal.
• Overhead power lines can cause electromagnetic interference.
• The inclined position of the tractor can have an effect on the number of the satellites that the Valtra
Guide system can receive.
• The system cannot operate in regions where the correction satellite is too near the horizon. Also hills
and especially their North-side slopes can have an effect on the operation.
• In areas of high latitudes, we recommend that you set the waypoints on the North/South axis as an
alternative to the East/West axis.
• Precision is also decreased if you drive on a slope and pull an implement with a strong side pull.
• A too high or too low load on the front axle can decrease the precision.
• Slippery, sandy or very rough ground conditions can decrease the precision
• The terrain and the weather have an effect on the range of the base station. Also, signal precision
decreases as the distance increases.
• Correction signal is interrupted when the tractor is too far away from the RTK base station.
• If there is an interruption in the power supply to the base station, there can be errors and changes in the
track after you start the system again. You can correct it manually through SmartTouch.
GUID-30F0807F-1F58-4C31-9F3B-9C71BA587EB4 [V1]

3.1.10 Deactivation
The automatic steering deactivates in the following conditions or events (or cannot be activated):
• The steering wheel is turned
• The bar display is showing fewer than three bars (machine does not have a valid position)
• Driving speed is below 0.1 km/h or over 25 km/h
• The angle between the current machine driving line and the wayline (target wayline) exceeds 75°
• The machine deviates from the side of the wayline (target wayline):
- Sub-meter accuracy: lateral deviation of more than 1.2 m
- Centimeter accuracy: lateral deviation of more than 0.6 m
• The operator leaves the operator's seat.

3.3.5 Use Fallback


Fallback makes it possible to continue guidance when the selected correction signal with a higher accuracy
is temporarily unavailable. Fallback activates a correction signal with less accuracy. When the correction
signal with the higher accuracy is received again, the system automatically activates it.
NOTE: With Fallback active, the wayline deviation can become greater when a correction signal with a
lower precision is used.

Procedure

AUTO
• Open the Map screen .

• Tap the Correction settings icon.

4.4.7 Wayline offset adjustment


Wayline position moves with low accuracy correction sources because of GNSS position drift. With the
wayline offset setting you can move the position of the wayline, so it will match with the actual position of
the tractor.
You can adjust the wayline offset manually or automatically.
Manual adjustment is useful, for example if you drive along the side of a slope where the implement slides
downward.
With the automatic adjustment you can easily move the previous waylines to align with the actual position
of the tractor, for example, when you return to a field.

5.1 Section Control

Section Control enables fully automated switching of the sections over the width of the implement in
accordance with the necessary degree of overlap for implements, for example, sprayers, fertilizer
spreaders and seeders. Section Control can also turn sections of the implement on and off at the headland
or at the edge of the field when unwanted overlap occur.
How Section Control can help you:
• Avoid overlaps and gaps in the field
• Preserve operation materials (seeds, fertilizers, chemicals...)
• More comfortable for the operator especially with large working widths
• Makes the work pattern always accurate, even at night and poor visibility.
Section Control operates with all the ISOBUS implements which obey the ISO 11783 standard and are
compatible with Section Control functionality. When you connect the ISOBUS implement to the tractor, it
uploads automatically all the related data to the tractor. Thus, it is not necessary to configure general
settings.

5.1.4 Activate and deactivate headland mode


The headland mode makes it possible to first do work in the field and then do the headlands. For example,
you can first seed in the field, then harrow and seed the headlands. This gives better crop as the headlands
get less compacted.
Headland mode functions only when the field boundary and headland are set. We recommend that you use
the headland mode only when the correction signal precision is in the centimeter level.

You can adjust the overlap applicable to your current work. With 0% overlap, section deactivates
immediately when it touches the worked area, headland or field boundary (possible gaps). With 100%
overlap, section does not deactivate until it fully completes the work in its area (possible overlap).
You can use, for example, these settings as a guideline for overlap:
• 100 % for fertilizers to avoid gaps.
• 50 % for precision drills as the seed falls in the middle of the section.
• 0 % for chemicals because to spray an area 2 times can cause damage to the crop.

You can give the outer section of the implement some tolerance for overlap. This feature is available only
when the In-field setting is 0%. Tolerance for the outer section of the implement is useful, for example, in
the following cases:
• Wayline position moves with low precision correction sources because of GNSS position drift.
• Tractor or implement moves downward when the tramline is wet or you drive on a slope.
These errors can be only as small as some centimeters, but they can cause the outer section of the
implement to switch-off.

5.1.6 Delay time for switch-on and switch-off


There is delay when the implement switches on/off and until it starts/stops to operate. The ISOBUS
implements have default delay times for switch-on and switch-off, but you can also adjust them manually.
For spreaders and sprayers, the default times are usually correct.
With precision drills, there can be delay from the start of the dosing module until the first seed falls on the
ground. Also the weight and the shape of the seed have an effect on that time. Thus, with precision drills,
it is necessary to adjust the delay times for switch-on and switch-off regularly.
Adjust the switch-on and switch-off times of the implement, if necessary.

6.1 TaskDoc and TaskDoc Pro

TaskDoc helps you to plan and manage your daily work tasks as well as to store and examine all the work-
related data. You can make the work tasks directly in the tractor or with a farm management software on
your computer.
When the driver starts the work task, Task manager does the documentation automatically, for example,
worked area and fuel consumption. Data exchange between the tractor and computer occurs through
Bluetooth connection or USB device.
With TaskDoc Pro, in addition to the Bluetooth connection and USB device, the data exchange can occur
also through internet connection. This requires a licence to the TaskDoc Pro Server and a GPRS
connection.
TaskDoc Pro also records GPS position of the tractor.

With Variable Rate Control you can vary the amount of fertilizers and seeds put in the field, thus having the
right amount to the right place. Design the prescription maps used by the Variable Rate Control with your
farm management software and transfer to the tractor via TaskDoc Pro.
Variable Rate Control operates with all the ISOBUS implements which obey the ISO 11783 standard and
are compatible with TC-GEO functionality. The ISOBUS implement controls the seeding or fertilizing
according to the information of the prescription map and GNSS position.
Requirements for Variable Rate Control are:
• Valtra Guide
• TaskDoc Pro
• Farm management software
• ISOBUS implement which obey the ISO 11783 standard and is compatible with TC-GEO functionality.

8.1 ISOBUS AUX

ISOBUS implements that obey the ISO 11783 standard can be controlled directly from the SmartTouch
armrest. When an applicable ISOBUS implement is connected to the tractor, ISOBUS AUX is activated
from the master activation switch. You can allocate the ISOBUS AUX functions to the SmartTouch control
devices from the Armrest screen.
Allocations are not profile specific, that is, when you allocate ISOBUS AUX function to a SmartTouch
control device, it goes into all profiles. ISOBUS AUX functions stay allocated also when you deactivate the
ISOBUS AUX from the master activation switch.
When the ISOBUS implement is disconnected, the ISOBUS AUX allocations stay and the tractor related
allocations must be done again. When the ISOBUS implement is connected again, the ISOBUS AUX
allocations become active.
The Valtra profile is an exception as it has always the default settings when you select it.

11.2 Base station

You can use the Valtra Guide system with a reference station for centimeter precision. The operation of the
system is the same if you receive the correction signal from a reference station or from a satellite. This
section gives an overview of the additional steps required for reference station management. The
reference station is an integrated unit that has a radio module, a GNSS receiver, a GNSS aerial and a radio
aerial. The reference station is installed on a tripod. The reference station uses an internal radio aerial to
supply the correction signal to the mobile units in a radius of 3 km to 5 km.
• GNSS satellites transmit position signals.
• The base station compares this data with its accurate position.
• Correction signals are transmitted from the base station (transmitter) to the vehicle (receiver) with a
modem.
• The Valtra Guide receiver calculates a very accurate location data from the position signal and correction
signal.
