Ag Leader EZ-Guide 500 Getting Started Guide - Manual (Page 63)

Setting the Look Ahead Value
The Look Ahead time predicts your future vehicle path to allow for reaction time and vehicle turn speed.
For larger vehicles that take longer to turn, increase the time.
Note: For 4WD articulated tractors, always set the Look Ahead time to 0 seconds.
To adjust the Look Ahead value, select Configuration / System / Guidance / Look Ahead.
Enabling Speed Pulse Output (Radar)
The EZ−Guide 500 lightbar guidance system can output simulated radar pulses at a pre−defined speed pulse
output rate. This can be useful to:
replace the radar / true ground speed sensor for speed on the vehicle.
•
send speed to any other agricultural device requiring speed pulses, for example, yield monitor or variable
rate controller.
•
To use speed pulse output, you need a radar sensor cable kit. To purchase one, contact your local reseller.
Connecting a device to receive speed pulses
To connect the lightbar to a spray controller:
Attach the external interface cable (P/N 62749) to the COM port of the lightbar. 1.
Attach the radar sensor cable to the external interface cable. 2.
If required, connect a spray switch into the WeatherPack connector on the radar sensor cable using a
fly−lead. 3.
Configuring the lightbar
Select Configuration / System / Radar Output:

1.
Configure the radar settings: 2.
Radar Enabled must be On.

Radar Frequency Rate is the output rate expected by your device. Most Raven and Midtech
controllers use 58.94 Hz/mph (34.80 Hz/kph).
