Field-IQ SystemBoom 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 2007-2011 Rogator 2012-2013 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

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-750 4.0

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
