CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTION
CenterLine is an economical lightbar guidance system that is controlled by a wireless remote. Cen-
terLine provides accurate Straight-Line and Curved Guidance for use in spraying, seeding, and other
related jobs at a cost that rivals foam markers. The CenterLine product is equipped with a combina-
tion Beacon/WAAS or WAAS only DGPS receiver, providing sub-meter, pass-to-pass positioning
accuracy. The wireless remote control is used to configure and operate the system through menus
and options displayed on the lightbar.
CenterLine’s attractive design combines compact size with fully adjustable, easy to see LEDs. Using
dedicated buttons on the wireless remote, the lightbar can be dimmed to efficiently run at night and
brightened for viewing in full sunlight.
STRAIGHT OR CURVED GUIDANCE
CenterLine guides along various types of swaths with sub-meter, pass-to-pass accuracy. Select the
driving pattern and CenterLine determines the closest swath to follow. There is no need to decide a
guidance pattern ahead of time or commit to a pattern for the entire job. CenterLine allows the
switching of patterns during operation, determining when a new pattern is being used and keeping
the operator informed of the current status.
WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL UNIT
CenterLine’s ergonomic, handheld remote control is easier to use than most television remotes.
Seven easy-to-read buttons allow for the scrolling of menus displayed on the lightbar. The remote
keypad is backlit for nighttime operation. Three AAA batteries (included) power the unit for an entire
season.
The small, powerful remote permits mounting the weather-resistant lightbar outside on the hood or in
the cab. When mounted outside, wireless communication permits easy operation while the cab stays
clean and sealed from dust and contaminants.
LIGHTBAR DISPLAY
A text display on the lightbar reports a choice of guidance information. It also warns when an area of
the field is entered that has already been applied. Guidance text information can be turned off, if pre-
ferred. Two of the following guidance messages are available for selection during operation to moni-
tor progress:
• Cross-Track Error
• Current Swath Number
• Vehicle Speed
• Applied Area
• Vehicle Course On Ground (COG)
