USB key, it is necessary to have the
suitable adapter or contact the supplier.
A separate file for vehicle ID and current
profile must be present on the USB key.
The file name is TANK_xx.PRO, where
“xx” specifies the ID of the selected
vehicle (01,02,03,04,05).

13 USE OF GEOSYSTEM 200
13.1 DISPLAY – EXAMPLE OF VISUALIZATION WITH 4 SENSORS
Figure 11 -Display
*the displayed working values as well the layout of the display change in according to the
value set in the parameter “Connected sensors”.
13.2 DEFINITION OF TANK REPLENISHMENT
The system can measure the quantity of the refilling liquid using the level sensor or the
flowmeter, if present.
This mode is possible only if the parameter “Connected Sensors” is enabled and set on
“Flowmeter”.
The operative procedure is explained in the paragraph 13.8 .
GeoSystem 200 RevA6
- 35
ENGLISH
13.3 DEFINITION OF TREATMENT
The term treatment means the set of data recorded during an activity of weeding or
sprayer. The working parameters recorded by GeoSystem are stored in a queue. The
queue can store a maximum of 20.
The data of each treatment can be visualized through the appropriate keys.
Every time you start a new treatment the data of the current treatment are inserted in the
queue.
The treatment number 1 is the last treatment saved.
Treatment number 2 is the second last treatment saved and so on.
All treatments inserted in the queue slip of a position at the moment of every saving.
When the queue is full, the recording of a new treatment causes the cancellation of the
treatment less recent (that in twentieth position).
After the treatment n° 20, appears the value “Total”, that refers to the historical data
related to all the treatments.
This value cannot be deleted, not even through the RESET procedure.
13.4 NEW TREATMENT
1
To start the recording of data on a new
treatment, select a parameter of any work
cycle, with the exception of the
parameter: "Tank Level".
2
Press the
key for 5 seconds.
3
By now, the counters are all reset.
The parameter “Tank level” is a special parameter:
If it is selected, the pressing of the button for 5 seconds DO NOT prepare the system for a
new treatment but for a new filling of the tank.

13.5 TURNING ON GeoSystem 200
1
Turn on the indicator by pressing
.

After which it appears the message
“Please wait”
5
The working values appears on the
display and, eventually, additional
markings such as(working values
displayed when the indicator is
connected with 4 sensors):
6
the sign “►”at the bottom left:
it signals that the treatment is in
action.
7
the sign “▌▐” at the bottom
left: it signals that the treatment
is in pause.
8
the sign “@”: it indicates that
the data represented on the right
is calculated or simulated and it
does not originate from the
reading of one specific sensor.
E.g. the represented speed is a
simulated value.

The symbol
in the upper
right: it indicates the presence
of an alarm;
10
The number in the upper left:

The symbol”←→” in the upper
left: it indicates that the
parameter “Treatment width”
has been configured. The value
must be greater than zero.
If this value is not set up, the extension
of the treated area cannot be
calculated.
If this parameter is not configured, the
symbol “←→”” won’t be displayed .
Instead of the current dosage value,
appears the instant flow rate value
(l/min).
12
During the execution, it is possible to
temporary stop the calculation by
pressing the
key for 1 second.
Press again the same key to reactivate
the calculation.
13
At the starting, press simultaneously
the
keys
to reset all the parameters of the
indicator to the initial values.
13.6 TURNING OFF GeoSystem 200
1
Press the
key in order to turn off
the system.
2
Wait that the data of the last treatment
will be saved.
While switching off do not press any key and do not remove the power, until the control
unit turns off.
Always use the appropriate button to turn off the computer, otherwise all the data relating
to treatments and schedules will be lost.

13.7 TREATMENT
1
Turn on the indicator by pressing the
key.
2
Set tank level. See paragraph current
level of the tank.
3
To start the data recording of a new
treatment, select a parameter of the any
cycle work, with the exception of the
parameter” tank level”.
4
The system store the treatment data in a
queue of 20 elements.
5
Press for 5 seconds the
key to
save the last data stored in the queue
and to reset all the meters, prearranging
the data recording of the new treatment
you will do.
N.B. if level sensor is not present,
pressing the key, you will reset all the
working data, except the tank level that
is recharged to the pre-set value during
the configuration phase.
The treatment data are stored only if you
have set the parameter “connected
sensor”= Flow+Speed or All sensors.
13.8 TANK REPLENISHMENT USING AN EXTERNAL PUMP
This procedure is available only in the
configurations “ Sensor present with
flowmeter or level sensor”.
1
If the field to treat requires an amount of
liquid higher than the amount of the
tank, it will be necessary to fill once or
more times the tank.
2
At every replenishment you have to
update the tank level ( parameter: “Tank
Level ”)

ENGLISH
3
Select the indication: “Tank Level”
4
Press for 2 seconds the
key.
5
Set the value (in liters) of liquid which
will be poured in the tank using the
and
keys.
6
Press the
key to start the tank
replenishment.
The pump will start.
7
During the tank replenishment it is
possible to stop and restart the pump
pressing the
key.
8
When the set value is reached, the
replenishment process will be
interrupted and the pump stopped.
9
Press the
key to exit and repeat
the process or the
key again in
order to return to the tank level
indication.
The parameter “Tank level” is a special parameter:
if you DO NOT select the parameter “Tank level” the pressure of the key for 5 seconds will
prepare the system for a new treatment, resetting all the counters.

13.9 SETTING TANK “ZERO” LEVEL
This procedure is available only in the
configurations “ Sensor present with
flowmeter or level sensor”.
1
If during the first installation or when the
tank is empty, the displayed tank level
is DIFFERENT from zero, it is
necessary to set the zero level of the
tank.
2
Select the indication: “Tank Level” and.
3
Make sure that the tank is completely
empty and press for 5 sec. the
key
4
If everything is successful, the message
“Completed!” will be displayed.
The process of setting tank zero level must be carry out only when a new tank profile has
been loaded or when the ID vehicle has been changed.
if you DO NOT carry out this process in the abovementioned cases, the tank level
indication could be not correct.

TREATMENT PREPARATION
1 To start the data recording of a new treatment, select a parameter of any working cycle, except
the “level tank” parameter.
2 The system stores the treatment data in a queue of 20 elements.
3
Press for 5 seconds the
key to save the last stored data
in the queue and to reset all the counters, prearranging the
data recording of a new treatment you are going to do.
N.B: if the level sensor is not present, the pressure of the key

reload to a pre-set value in configuration phase.
USE
1 Automatic functioning of the system: GeoSystem 200 shows
and records the speed, flow, travelled distance, treated area,
amount of sprayed liquid values.
TANK REPLENISHMENT
1 If the treatment requires more chemical substance than how the vehicle tank can contains, the
operator has the possibility to supply the tank with liquid and to eventually modify the insert
quantity.
2 If the level sensor is not present, you have to manually set the tank level data.
In this case select the “level tank” data and, only in this case, press the
key to modify the data which is reloaded at the pre-set value in configuration phase.
