GPS Receiver use other for non

Topcon - Baud Rate set to the rate that your receiver is outputting.

Receiver Com this needs to be set to

match the way that you have brought in the signal into the X30 Output Com have this set to something different then what the receiver Com is

-Area counters (on/off)

-Reset area (never, auto, and Prompt) Never: area will never reset unless the operator does it Auto: it will automatically reset every time they start a new job. Prompt: it will prompt you every time that you start a new job Area Counters

- You can change between different vehicles

that you have created - You can load a vehicle from another monitor through a USB - If you change the vehicle in this page it will restart the monitor

- This is were you can go in and create a new

vehicle by selecting the proper manufacture. - Then it will ask you to pick the model of the unit if its not there pick a model that is close to right one.

- After the unit is picked you will have to

come in and adjust the measurements specific to each vehicle - Ensure distance from receiver to rear axle, rear axle to the hitch and the receiver to the center of the machine are accurate as this will affect ASC/Mapping - The rest are primarily for steering application - Some steer systems require odd dimensions to steer (AES25) Topcon

- This is were you will pick the machine

that you are operating - Every time you create a new profile it will appear here

-Follow though a few steps to configure

your monitor to the machine you are working with. -Start by picking the series of tank that you have. Touch and highlight the proper one then press the green arrow. -Setting up a profile for both 6000/7000 a basically the same as you go though

Select the model for tank by highlighting

it then press the green arrow to move on.

This is were you pick how your machine

is configured. How many meters and weather or not you have sectional NH3/LIQ. Find the one that fits your tank and highlight it and press the green check mark. NOTE: you will see in a four tank configuration that it has a T3 or a T5. T3 - means that the fourth meter is on tank three. T5 – means that the fourth meter is on the saddle tank.

Pick Bourgault then go ahead and press

the green check mark. - At this point it will tell you that the X30 will need to preform a reboot. Just touch on the green check mark to move on.

Highlight the machine that you will

be using. Then press the green check mark to proceed. - If the machine that you are using is not listed you will have to pick one. After you have to go into the geometry and change the dimensions to fit the machine you have.

Find the machine that fits then

highlight it and hit the green check mark to move on

Pic the one that matches the your

machine, highlight and pick the green check mark to move on.

On this screen it allows you to the

name the unit simply by touching on the box with the name in it. - Then a key pad will come up for you to type the name. - When finished then touch the green check mark to move on - So when its on the select tab you will be able to recognized it.

- This page shows what ECU and drive each

tank is working through it will also let you know what firmware versions they are running when connected to the tank

These values should be set into the monitor

from the factory but should be checked to make sure. A- enter the width of the implement. If using Sectional control the value will be entered in the section setup screen B- overlap (not used) C- depth (not used) D- from the pin to the front row of openers or MRB E- from the main pin to the center of the caster hub or the High Flotation hub H- from the front row of openers to the back row of openers.

- Enter # of section and the width of each for the

Multi-section boom - It can be set all the same or individually - If using multi-section the total width will auto Populate into the geometry screen - Nozzles numbers only come into effect with Liquid

- Look ahead times for the individual section

valves - For NH3/ LQd would typically be the same as the tank on/off times - This will come more into affect with granular

- Enable a virtual switchbox so that you can manually

control sections on screen - This virtual switchbox will show up on the guidance Page - Only works if your using sectional control

- Related to section valve state monitoring, not

Applicable without granular section control

Or the arrow to move the tanks up or down

-Minimum PWM (15%)

-Maximum PWM (95%) -Controller Response (medium fast) - Accessed by selecting one of the numbered tabs on the left hand side. Or the arrow to move the tanks up or down

- Product Name enabled/disabled

- Sequence On/Off Times work similar basis as granular on/off, based on time for product to reach openers after switched on/off, usually a bit faster then granular

- Name - can name each tank/bin

- Capacity – can be changed to match your tank - Status (enable/disable) if your not using one for a field - Section Control (NH3 if you are, full width if single boom - Pump Speed (not used)

- Calibration Factor – Can be set here or on the

SRC screen - Flow Confirmation (not used)

- Toggle though the different fans using the tabs

On the left hand side - Fan speed – disable if not using one of fans - Pulses (1)

Blocked Head Monitor

- Block head monitor (enabled/disabled) - Sensor Type (dickey - john) - Head monitoring Single/double shoot - Number of sensors 1 – 20 max - On the right hand you can name individual runs

Speed source GPS

- Fallback Type manual speed - Wheel Factor this is used when you switch the speed source to wheel. It will be set from the factory. NOTE: GPS speed should be used at all times. Wheel speed is not consistent enough because of the amount of tire deflection. The rolling radius of the tires on the bigger machines can changed up to 20% from full to empty

You will need to come in and enter the

products that will be used with this air seeder - You are able to add new products at anytime. - The way of entering new products is the same weather its liquid, granular or NH3. - Touch on the New Product tab to start to enter a new product

Scroll though the list to find the

product that you are wanting then highlight it and press the yellow arrow. - If the product is not in this list find one that would be close in density. We can rename the product and change the density in the coming slides.

- Now you can rename the product to what

ever you like. Just touch on the product name then it will bring up a keyboard so it can be named. When finished touch on the yellow arrow to move on.

Density - Now you can go in and enter an

known density if needed. Rate Increments – the amount that the rate will change every time you touch the up or down arrow on the SRC screen. Rate preset 1 – set the rate that you want to be using this product at. Rate preset 2 – set a secondary rate you might want to use. Once this is set every time you bring this product into one of your tanks these figures will auto populate in to the screen
