Operate Guidance Systems SafelyDo not use guidance systems on roadways. Always turnoff (disable) guidance systems before entering a roadway.Do not attempt to turn on (activate) a guidance systemwhile transporting on a roadway.

Guidance systems are intended to aid the operator inperforming field operations more efficiently. The operatoris always responsible for the machine path. Guidancesystems do not automatically detect or prevent collisionswith obstacles or other machines.

Guidance Systems include any application that automatesvehicle steering. This includes, but may not be limitedto, AutoTrac, iGuide, iTEC Pro, ATU, RowSense, andMachine Sync.

To prevent injury to the operator and bystanders:• Never get on or off a moving vehicle.

• Verify the machine, implement, and guidance systemare set up correctly.- If using iTEC Pro, verify accurate boundaries havebeen defined.

- If using Machine Sync, verify the follower’s homepoint is calibrated with sufficient space between thevehicles.

• Remain alert and pay attention to the surroundingenvironment.• Take control of the steering wheel, when necessary, toavoid field hazards, bystanders, equipment, or otherobstacles.• Stop operation if poor visibility conditions impair yourability to operate the machine or identify people orobstacles in the machine path.• Consider field conditions, visibility, and vehicleconfiguration when selecting vehicle speed.

Use Seat Belt ProperlyUse a seat belt when you operate with a roll-overprotective structure (ROPS) or cab to minimize chance ofinjury from an accident such as an overturn.

Do not use a seat belt if operating without a ROPS or cab.

Replace entire seat belt if mounting hardware, buckle,belt, or retractor show signs of damage.

Inspect seat belt and mounting hardware at leastonce a year. Look for signs of loose hardware or beltdamage, such as cuts, fraying, extreme or unusual wear,discoloration, or abrasion. Replace only with replacementparts approved for your machine. See your John Deeredealer.


Use AutoTrac Controller on Approved Vehicles

Use AutoTrac Controller only on Approved Vehicles—seeStellarSupport.Deere.com for list of approved vehicles.

When activity monitor is selected, AutoTrac Controllerlooks for operator activity every seven minutes. Operator

will receive a time-out warning 15 seconds beforeAutoTrac deactivates. Pressing Resume will reset activitymonitor timer.

AutoTrac AccuracyIMPORTANT: The AutoTrac system relies on the GPS

system operated by the government of theUnited States, which is solely responsible forits accuracy and maintenance. The system issubject to changes that could affect accuracyand performance of all GPS equipment.

The overall AutoTrac system accuracy is dependent uponmany variables. The equation looks like:

AutoTrac System Accuracy = Signal accuracy + VehicleSetup + Implement Setup + Field/Soil Conditions.

It is very important to remember:

• Receiver has to go through a warm-up period afterstarting.• Vehicle is setup properly (ballasted according to vehicleoperator manual, etc.)

• Implement is setup to run properly (wear parts suchas shanks, shovels, and sweeps are in good workingcondition and correctly spaced).• Understand how field/soil conditions affect system(loose soil requires more steering than firm soil, but firmsoil can cause uneven draft loads).

See the AUTOTRAC SYSTEM ACCURACY sectionin DIAGNOSTICS section of this manual for moreinformation.

IMPORTANT: Although AutoTrac system can beactivated when SF2 (or SF1 if using AutoTracSF1 activation) correction signal is confirmed,system accuracy may continue to increaseafter powering up system.

AutoTrac SF2 activation will operate on a SF1, SF2, orRTK signal.

AutoTrac SF1 activation will operate on a SF1 signal only.

General Information

All operators must be familiar with AutoTrac system andoperating characteristics prior to operation. The followingis a suggested procedure for operator to become familiarwith system:

1. Read and understand Operators Manual for GreenStarGuidance—Parallel Tracking and AutoTrac AssistedSteering Systems.

2. Choose an open area free of hazards (ditches,buildings, etc.).

3. Set Track Spacing to 92.0 meters (300 ft).

4. Set a Track 0 (A—B Line).

NOTE: Operate vehicle at a speed you are comfortable,recommend less than 8 km/h (5 mph).

5. Enable AutoTrac on display by turning Steer ON.

6. Press Resume switch to activate AutoTrac. (SeeActivating system later in this section).

7. After driving a short distance, then turn steering wheelto turn vehicle off track to deactivate AutoTrac. (SeeDeactivating System later in this section).

8. Practice Activating AutoTrac at different distancesbefore and after crossing track and at different angles.Increase and decrease speeds to simulate differentoperating conditions.

9. Reduce Track Spacing to acquire multiple tracks andcontinue practicing activating AutoTrac at differentangles and varying speeds to understand howAutoTrac behaves under different conditions.

Always be prepared to resume manual control if AutoTracdoes not perform expected maneuvers or machine coursemust be changed to avoid injury or property damage.Operator can regain manual steering by turning steeringwheel or Disabling AutoTrac by turning Steer off ondisplay. It is recommended practice to be as close aspossible to desired track prior to activating AutoTrac. Thiswill ensure correct track and direction are acquired.

The AutoTrac basic system is intended to be used asan assistance tool to mechanical markers on planters.Operator must evaluate overall system accuracy todetermine specific field operations where assistedsteering may be used. This evaluation is necessarybecause accuracy required for various field operationsmay differ depending on farming operation. BecauseAutoTrac uses StarFire differential correction networkalong with Global Positioning System (GPS), slight shiftsin position may occur over time.

To operate AutoTrac operator must set track 0 (similar toparallel tracking) and all tracks are drawn parallel to track0 using track spacing.

The AutoTrac system operating status can exist at fourlevels: INSTALLED, CONFIGURED, ENABLED, andACTIVATED.

After enabling AutoTrac (see Enabling AutoTrac),AutoTrac is activated by pressing resume switchon armrest (see Activating AutoTrac). To return tomanual steering, operator must deactivate system (seeDeactivating System).

If required track can be shifted left, right or centered usingshift track feature on display. (See Shift Track).

AutoTrac SetupOperate Guidance Systems Safely

Read and understand Operate Guidance Systems Safelyin the Safety section.

AutoTrac System

General Information

IMPORTANT:

AutoTrac system relies on GPS system operatedby the United States government, which is solelyresponsible for its accuracy and maintenance.System is subject to changes that could affectaccuracy and performance of all GPS equipment.

Operator must maintain responsibility formachine and must turn at end of each track.This system will not turn at end of a trackunless equipped with iTEC Pro.

AutoTrac basic system is intended to be used as anassistance tool to mechanical markers. Operator mustevaluate overall system accuracy to determine specificfield operations where assisted steering may be used. Thisevaluation is necessary because accuracy required forvarious field operations may differ depending on farmingoperation. Because AutoTrac uses STARFIRE differentialcorrection network along with Global Positioning System(GPS), slight shifts in position may occur over time.

AutoTrac Accuracy—The overall AutoTrac systemaccuracy is dependent upon many variables. Theequation looks like:

AutoTrac System Accuracy = Signal accuracy + VehicleSetup + Implement Setup + Field/Soil Conditions.

It is very important to remember:

• Receiver has to go through a warm-up period afterstarting.• Vehicle is setup properly (ballasted according to vehicleoperator manual, etc.)• Implement is setup to run properly (wear parts suchas shanks, shovels, and sweeps are in good workingcondition and correctly spaced).• Understand how field/soil conditions affect system(loose soil requires more steering than firm soil, but firmsoil can cause uneven draft loads).

Status Pie

IMPORTANT: Although AutoTrac system can beactivated when SF2 (or SF1 if using AutoTracSF1 activation) correction signal is confirmed,system accuracy may continue to increaseafter powering up system.

AutoTrac SF2 activation will operate onSF1, SF2, or RTK signal.

AutoTrac SF1 activation will operate onSF1 signal only.

NOTE: The status pie and steer icon will not be displayedif no SSU or AutoTrac Activation is detected.

AutoTrac icon has four stages as shown in the AutoTracStatus Pie

Steering Sensitivity

To adjust steering sensitivity select the input box and enterthe desired steering sensitivity value via numeric keypadand select the enter button. The sensitivity can also beadjusted up or down by selecting the + or – buttons oneither side of the steer sensitivity input box.

NOTE: Valid range for steer sensitivity is 50-200 with200 being the most aggressive setting.

User Adjustable Steering Sensitivity—steeringsensitivity is aggressiveness of AutoTrac steering system.A high steering sensitivity setting is more aggressive toallow system to handle tough manual steering conditions

The steering sensitivity is only applied after machineis within 0.5 M (1.6 ft) of track FIGURE A. Therefore,adjusting steering sensitivity does not change lineacquisition performance.

The steering sensitivity is momentarily reduced if tractorfront wheel and heading oscillations become too large.

This event may be observed when implement is raised atstart or end of row transitions. If this event is observedwhile implement is activated, sensitivity level is too high(see Steering Sensitivity).

GS3 Display 2630


Adjusting Steering Sensitivity Level

The steering sensitivity must be adjusted to accommodatefield conditions and tractor/implement configuration.Steering sensitivity should always be evaluated whenimplement is activated. In general, soft soil requires ahigher steering sensitivity level than firm ground and an

integral implement requires a higher steering sensitivitythan a similar drawn implement. Finally, steeringsensitivity will not address condition where front wheelsare not able to turn tractor. Always make sure front axleload with implement activated is sufficient for steeringbefore adjusting steering sensitivity level.

Too Low—If steering sensitivity is too low, a slowwandering track error pattern can be observed on display.This track error pattern takes approximately 10 seconds togo from side to side as is shown in FIGURE A. If excessivetrack error is occurring, increase steering sensitivity bysmall increments until desired accuracy is achieved.

NOTE: It is normal to see a momentary track error whenencountering a large rut, furrow, or implement loadchange. Proper steering sensitivity adjustmentwill help minimize track error.

Too High—Setting steering sensitivity to highest levelwill not result in maximum tracking accuracy. If steeringsensitivity is too high, excessive front wheel motionwill be observed which reduces accuracy and causesunnecessary front axle component wear. At extremehigh levels, machine motion will become large enough tocause steering sensitivity to be momentarily changed todefault level. Wheel motion to watch for when determiningif aggressiveness is too high occurs at an interval ofapproximately 1 second from side to side as shown inFIGURE B. If excessive wheel motion is observed, lowersteering sensitivity by small increments until desiredperformance is achieved.

Optimizing AutoTrac Controller Performance

When operating in curves, start with the curve sensitivityequal to the optimized acquire sensitivity.

These default settings are a good starting point for mostconditions. Each setting can be adjusted to try andoptimize performance. Operator may need to readjustline sensitivity, heading, and line sensitivity tracking forbest results. Increase or decrease settings to changeaggressiveness as desired. If system is not responsiveenough, increase sensitivity settings. If desired

performance is not achieved, see TROUBLESHOOTINGsection for more detail.

Advanced AutoTrac Settings

Tuning Recommendations

NOTE: AutoTrac Controller has been tuned to performvery well in most field conditions using thevariety of implements encountered by AutoTrac.However, for those conditions outside of normal,we have provided Advanced Settings to allowthe operator fine tune their systems for specificfield conditions and implements.

Problem or Situation:

AutoTrac performance during line acquisitions, Curve Tracor in-row S-ing that can’t be tuned out using the SteeringSensitivity adjustment.

Difficult ground conditions (extremely soft or extremelyrough) require additional tuning beyond the capabilities ofthe standard Steering Sensitivity value.

Read this information in it’s entirety BEFORE tuningAutoTrac Advanced Settings.

AutoTrac Advanced Settings software includes 6 differenttunable sensitivities that allow finer adjustment of theAutoTrac system. The following are details for tuningthis software:

1. Check & fix other problems before youtune—Perform necessary mechanical checks andcalibrations through associated tractor. It is importantto do this step first otherwise you run the risk of

25-6 031312

PN=32

GS3 Display 2630


masking actual machine faults and wasting your timetuning a system that cannot be tuned.

2. Characterize the current AutoTrac problem—Thereare various types of issues this software may be ableto resolve. First, the specific type of problem needs tobe identified from the possible items below:

a. Excessive Wheel Motion—Overall AutoTracperformance is acceptable, but the operator isconcerned about how quickly the wheels aretwitching back and forth.

b. Aggressive S-ing Motion—Continual back andforth motion as observed by the operator lookingout over the front nose of the tractor. Although a lotof motion is observed, the off-track error shown onthe display (distance away from AB line) is oftenrelatively small.

c. Lazy S-ing Motion—Performance of AutoTracseems very sluggish when trying to stay on the lineand slowly wanders from side to side.

d. Lazy Line Acquisition—AutoTrac appearssluggish during line acquisition and the tractorremains off to one side of the line for a long timebefore getting lined up.

e. Aggressive Line Acquisition—AutoTracovershoots the line, and continues toovercompensate during acquisition. Results in highfrequency, tight S-ing pattern during acquisitions.

f. Lazy Curve Track Performance—AutoTrac issluggish in Curve Track mode resulting in slow,wandering S-ing about the desired line and oftentracks to the outside of the desired path.

g. Aggressive Curve Track Performance—AutoTracexhibits rapid and high frequency corrections inCurve Track mode, resulting in a tight S-ing patternor tracking to the inside of the desired path.

3. Access the Advanced Settings page on GS3.

4. Advanced Settings Parameters.

a. Line Sensitivity Heading: Determines howaggressively AutoTrac responds to heading error.Higher Settings: Result in more aggressiveresponse to vehicle heading error.Lower settings: Result in less aggressive responseto vehicle heading error.Range: 50 to 200.

b. Line Sensitivity Tracking (Lateral Gain):Determines how aggressively AutoTrac respondsto off-track (lateral) error.Higher settings: Result in more aggressiveresponse to vehicle off-track error.

Lower settings: Result in less aggressive responseto vehicle off-track error.Range: 50 to 200.

c. Heading Lead: Determines the impact of yawrate (vehicle rate of turn) on tracking performance.Heading lead acts as a look-ahead parameter andcan be used to minimize over steering. Largeadjustments may result in poor performance.Higher settings: Result in more aggressiveresponse to yaw rate.Lower settings: Result in less aggressive responseto yaw rate.Range: 50 to 130.

d. Steering Response Rate: Adjusts the rate ofvehicle steering in order to maintain trackingperformance. Increasing steering responsivenessgenerally results in better tracking performance.Higher settings: Result in better trackingperformance but may also cause increased wheelmotion or jittery behavior.Lower settings: Results in decreased wheel motionbut may also result in worse tracking performance.Range: 50 to 200.

e. Curve Sensitivity: Determines how aggressivelyAutoTrac responds to a curve in the track. Thissetting affects performance in curve track guidanceonly.Higher settings: Turn the vehicle in a smaller radius(tighter) around the curve.Lower settings: Turn the vehicle in a larger radiusaround the curve.Range: 50 to 200.

f. Acquire Sensitivity: Determines how aggressivelythe vehicle acquires the track. This setting affectsperformance while acquiring the track only.High settings: Result in more aggressive lineacquisitions.Lower settings: Result in smoother line acquisitions.Range: 50 to 200.

5. Follow Tuning Instructions—First try to adjust thesettings based on how it was characterized in Step 2.If familiar with how the settings affect performance,proceed to the general tuning instructions if desired.Although the customer’s comfort needs to be takeninto account, try to tune the tractor based on lateralerror on the GS3 and the tracks that tractor leavesbehind. After finding a reasonable set of parameters,try running the tractor at different speeds to ensure thesettings are still acceptable. Sometimes the settingsthat maximize AutoTrac performance are very close tomaking the operator feel uncomfortable.

General Tuning Instructions

Adjustment Recommendations:

25-7 031312

PN=33

GS3 Display 2630


• Steering Sensitivity—Set at 100 before makingother adjustments – after that make adjustments inincrements of 10.

• Line Sensitivity Tracking—Adjust in increments of 20.

• Line Sensitivity Heading—Adjust in increments 10.

• Heading Lead—Adjust in increments 10.

• Steering Response Rate—Adjust in increments 10.

• Acquire Sensitivity—Adjust in increments 20.

• Curve Sensitivity—Adjust in increments 20.

One Value at a Time—Attempt to adjust the settings inthe problem field conditions while AutoTrac is active.

1. Start with the factory default settings. The SteeringSensitivity value will correlate to the value on theGuidance View Tap. Attempt to use a value for thissetting that is similar to the conditions in which you arerunning (70 for concrete, 100 most conditions, 120for soft ground). This number may still need to bemodified beyond the suggested settings.

2. While AutoTrac is active in the problem conditions(speeds, ground, tire setup, etc), increase/reduce theLine Sensitivity Heading by a factor of 10.

3. If the change in Line Sensitivity Heading is ineffectiveat addressing the issue, reset the Line SensitivityHeading parameter and increase/reduce the HeadingLead in the same manner as the previous step.

4. If none of the previous steps were effective resetthe Heading Lead and increase/reduce the SteeringResponse Rate in a similar fashion to the previoussteps.

Combining Settings—If the above procedure does notgive satisfactory performance and once you have becomemore comfortable with how the parameters changeAutoTrac performance (as detailed in the previous step),try different combinations of parameters while AutoTrac isactive. The following chart should be used as a referenceand contains suggested values based on various typesof conditions, please note that values may need to beadjusted beyond these recommendations to achievesatisfactory performance.

To return all settings to their default values, use the“Return To Defaults” button provided at the bottom of theAdvanced Settings screen.

Most Common Conditions

1. Excessive Wheel Motion—Adjust Steering ResponseRate first before making any other adjustments. Turndown this parameter until an acceptable amount ofwheel motion exists. Although it may be possible forthis parameter to be changed independently, you mayneed to increase Line Sensitivity Heading and/or LineSensitivity Tracking (lateral) gains to compensate forthe wheel motion decrease. Keep in mind that forcingthis value too low may compromise AutoTrac accuracybecause this responsiveness determines how quicklythe system can compensate for off-track error. Therecommended Steering Wheel Speed setting shouldbe adjusted until there is slightly less wheel motionthan what is considered excessive by the operator.

2. Aggressive S-ing Motion—The two mainadjustments to address aggressive s-ing motion areLine Sensitivity Heading and Heading Lead. Startby increasing Heading Lead to enable the system tolook further ahead when making corrections. If thisis unsuccessful, the likely cause is overaggressiveLine Sensitivity Heading and this gain should thenbe reduced. Forcing this gain low may require anincrease in the Line Sensitivity Tracking (Lateral) gainto maintain the overall system performance at anacceptable level.

3. Lazy S-ing Motion—This may be the most difficultsituation to address because the sluggish behaviorcan be caused by field conditions or machine setup.In some cases, tuning the gains may not achievethe performance desired. Start by increasing LineSensitivity Tracking and check performance. If thesystem remains sluggish, increase Line SensitivityHeading until the system begins to respond moreaggressively. If fine tuning is needed, the SteeringResponse Rate can be adjusted accordingly,increasing this value will make the system moreaggressive.

Step 1: Optimize Steering Response Rate

• Tune speed by operating parallel to and 1.2 m (4 ft) offof the A-B Line.• Activate AutoTrac Controller and observe performance.• While tuning, adjust in increments of 10 between therange of 50 to 200.

Step 3: Optimize Line Sensitivity

A: Line Sensitivity—Tracking• Tune line sensitivity tracking while operating on theA-B line.• If machine wanders too far from the A-B line adjust linesensitivity—tracking higher.• If machine becomes unstable around A-B line adjustline sensitivity—tracking lower.

B: Line Sensitivity—Heading• Tune line sensitivity heading while operating on theA-B line.• If the front of the machine wanders too far from thetrack direction adjust line sensitivity—heading higher.• If machine becomes unstable adjust linesensitivity—heading lower.

NOTE: Line Sensitivities work together—If both are set toohigh the vehicle will become unstable. If both are settoo low, the vehicle will wander around the A-B line.

Heading Lead

Steering Response Rate

Determines the maximum speed the wheels turn to makecorrections. Higher gains will turn the wheels faster. Themaximum wheel speed increases with steer wheel speedsettings from 50 to 200. From 190 to 200 the maximumsteering wheel speed stays the same, but the rate atwhich the steering wheel accelerates increases. Thesteer wheel speed should be adjusted in increments of10 between 20 and 190 and in increments of 2 between190 and 200. Setting the steer wheel speed too highmay cause ATU unit to deactivate. Adjust the steerwheel speed as high as possible without causingdeactivations of the steering wheel.

Higher settings: Results in better tracking performance butmay also cause increased wheel motion or jittery behavior.

Lower Settings: Results in decreased wheel motion butmay also result in worse tracking performance.

Tuning Tips, Tricks, and Precautions• High Speed/Loose Soil Conditions- Tip 1: The main goal with AutoTrac is to minimizeoff-track error. In many conditions the best results areobtained as the production system is currently tunedwith the default settings.

- Tip 2: It has been demonstrated through testing thatincreased Heading Lead when operating at higherspeeds, greater than 11 km/h (7 mph), improvesAutoTrac stability.

- Tip 3: Loose soil has a tendency to decrease theability of the machine to steer when necessary,thereby decreasing performance. To counteract thisissue increase the Line Sensitivity Heading.Potential tradeoffs associated with increasing LineSensitivity Heading are:

1. In some conditions the increased Heading Leadcan lead to higher frequency instabilities.2. Line Sensitivity Heading is used for line acquisitionsas well as tracking on line. Therefore, increasing LineSensitivity Heading can affect line acquisitions.

• When using AutoTrac to cross previous rows- Tip 1: In these circumstances it is common toexperience excessive and repeatable side to sidemotion. Increasing Line Sensitivity Heading andHeading Lead can help reduce the vehicle motion.

- Tip 2: In extreme cases, Differential Lock may berequired in addition to the above tip to achievesatisfactory performance.

NOTE: When increasing Line Sensitivity Heading andHeading Lead, Line Sensitivity Tracking may needto be reduced to prevent excessive wheel motion.

The boxes will light up indicatingthe direction the vehicle must be steered to get back onthe AB line. Each arrow represents a distance (default is10 cm (4 in.)). This distance and the steering directionmay be defined on the Lightbar Settings Page:

GreenStar Main Page -> Settings -> Guidance Settings-> Lightbar Settings

Off Track Error (A)– Off Track error is numerically displayedin the box. Off Track error will be displayed in cm (inches)up to 99 cm (35 in.). If Off Track error exceeds 99 cm (35in.), the distance displayed will change to meters (feet).

Track number (B)– Represents the track number thevehicle is guiding on. It also shows the direction that thetrack is located from the original Track 0 for the field.

Guidance Icon (C)– The icon represents the machine andimplement in relative dimensions. The triangle on themachine represents the control point, which as used forguiding the machine and is defined by the machine offsetmeasurements.

GPS Indicator (D)— Indicates what level of accuracy theStarFire receiver is currently operating at (3D, SF2, SF1,RTK). If using a GPS receiver other than a StarFire, the text3D GPS will be displayed but the indicator bar will not fill.
