Quick Guide: Fix Type Selection

The auto-steer will work strictly only on the exact modes you select. You can select just one or multiple options:

  • If you select only RTK: Auto-steer works only on RTK.

  • If you select RTK + FRTK: Auto-steer works only on these two modes.

  • If you select all of them (GPS, DGPS, FRTK, RTK): Auto-steer works on all modes.

(Don't forget to press Set to apply your choices).

What does this setting mean?

Selecting a specific "Fix type" establishes the minimum acceptable accuracy threshold for your navigation.

Simply put, you are telling the system: "Only allow the tractor to drive on auto-steer (turn the steering wheel) when the RTK signal quality is equal."

If the signal quality drops below your chosen level (for example, you drive under thick trees or lose the mobile internet connection for your RTK), the system will automatically disengage the auto-steering. This ensures the tractor doesn't suddenly swerve and ruin the row.

How to choose the right setting in practice?

The Golden Rule: The more demanding and precise the field operation, the stricter your setting should be.

  1. For seeding, planting, and inter-row cultivation: You must select and apply the Set button at the RTK level. If the tractor suddenly loses the perfect signal and drops down to FRTK mode, the steering wheel will immediately disengage, prompting you to take manual control. This strictly protects your crops from being accidentally run over or cut out.

  2. For spraying, fertilizer spreading, discing, or plowing: You can lower the threshold to the FRTK (or sometimes even DGPS) level. In these operations, a 15-20 cm error is not critical. By setting the permission to FRTK, the auto-steering won't constantly disengage and kick you off the guidance line during brief interruptions of the RTK signal. This will save you a lot of time and nerves.

Ultimately, this menu allows you to find the perfect balance between maximum accuracy (where the system doesn't forgive even a single second of signal loss) and continuous steering operation (where a slight error is tolerated to keep the auto-steer engaged).
