Case IH A-G-530 - Display – AFS Display and Navigation Controller: Swath Width Too Low

The calculated swath width for the active implement is below the minimum acceptable threshold required by the AutoGuidance system to generate a valid guidance path, often caused by an operator accidentally entering an overlap value that is too large or an application width that is too small.

• MAGNUM AFS Connect
• STEIGER AFS Connect
• Steiger / Quadtrac series tractors
• Magnum series tractors
• Maxxum and Puma series tractors
• Axial-Flow combines
• Patriot series sprayers

1. 1

   Navigate to the 'Implement' setup screen on the AFS display and verify the physical width entered for the attached implement.

2. 2

   Check the configured Overlap and Skip settings to ensure a typo hasn't mathematically reduced the swath width to near zero.

3. 3

   Verify the tractor has a valid GPS fix and convergence, as guidance lines cannot be properly generated without accurate positioning data.

1. 1

   Turn on the ignition and allow the AFS Pro display to boot up completely.

   Ensure the system is fully powered and booted.

2. 2

   Navigate to the Implement menu (or the 'Work Condition' setup screen, depending on the display generation).

   Access the implement configuration settings.

3. 3

   Select the profile for the implement currently attached to the tractor.

   Ensure you are editing the correct implement profile.

4. 4

   Locate the Swath Width configuration box.

   Note: On the Pro 1200, this box is often read-only because it is a calculated value.

5. 5

   Press the Application Width button and ensure the correct physical width of the implement is entered.

   Verify the physical width matches the attached implement.

6. 6

   Press the Overlap or Skip button.

   Access the overlap and skip settings.

7. 7

   Correct any erroneous values.

   For example, if you have a 40-foot planter, your application width should be 480 inches. If you want a 2-inch overlap, enter 2 inches. The Swath Width should automatically recalculate to 478 inches.

8. 8

   Save the configuration.

   Ensure the new settings are stored in the system.

9. 9

   Return to the run screen, clear the active fault, and press the 'Refresh' or 'Create Line' button to generate a new A-B guidance line.

   The AutoGuidance system should now engage normally.
