These questions relate to general AFS Pro 600 usage that is not specific to any individual operation. For example, a question like "How do I create a new Task?" will be found here, but a question like "How do I create a new swath?" will be found on the AFS AccuGuide page.
----------
Large Tractor software version 21.2 (and higher) enables data-logging and area-counting to be controlled via the primary hydraulic valve (EHR1).
In AFS Pro 600 Large Tractor software versions prior to v21.2, data-recording and area-counting (collectively referred to as Work Control) could be controlled via the three-point hitch (3PH). v21.2 continues this function and adds control via the EHR1.
In the AFS Pro 600 display, the operator uses the Implement Type window on the Toolbox > Implement screen to select the appropriate Work Control option for the current implement.
If "EHR 1 Implement" is selected, the implement is considered to be "working" when the primary remote valve is retracted or in float, and the implement is considered to be "not working" when the primary remote valve is extended.
If "Hitch Implement" is selected, the implement is considered to be "working" when the hitch is lowered, and "not working" when the hitch is raised, based on the Implement Working Depth set in the Work Condition > Hitch Notebook screen.
NOTE: v21.2 Large Tractor software may require updates to the software installed in other tractor controllers, to ensure that all features are available.
The AFS Pro 600 offers two user-selectable interface levels. The interface level can be changed by going to Toolbox > Disp.
Interface Level: Basic
The "Basic" Interface Level is intended for operators who require only basic machine-control functionality. Basic mode disables several display features, including datacard recording. When the display is running in Basic mode, summary data will be recorded only to the internal display memory. This allows the operator to view summary data on-screen at a later date. However, data recorded in Basic mode can never be saved to a datacard. Even if the Interface Level is changed from "Basic" to "Advanced", the data collected in Basic mode cannot be saved to a datacard. It remains only in the display's internal memory.
Other features that are disabled in Basic mode include onscreen mapping, advanced yield monitor calibrations, and advanced Product attribute setup.
Interface Level: Advanced
The "Advanced" Interface Level is intended for operators who wish to fully utilize the precision farming functionality of the AFS Pro 600 display. Advanced mode enables onscreen mapping, multiple-task yield monitor calibrations, advanced Product attribute setup, and recording data to a datacard. This is the recommended Interface Level for most users.
When naming Growers, Farms, Fields, Tasks, Tags, Products, Work Conditions, Swath Names, Operators, etc. there are 18 characters available.
Any combination of upper-case, lower-case, numbers, or special characters may be used.
Case IH recommends that you create Tasks as needed, rather than creating a large number of Tasks at once for future use.
Empty (unused) Tasks will become locked and unusable when you archive your data (download data to your desktop software)
AFS Pro 600 displays ordered through the CNH Parts system are shipped in a padded storage box that is useful for off-season storage and for transporting the display when not installed in a vehicle. However, displays ordered with a vehicle may not include a display storage box.
A display storage box is available from your local Case IH dealer. Ask your dealer for part number 87515548.
