GPS Control

The QUANTRON-A control unit can be combined with GPS-compatible devices. 

Data are exchanged between both devices in order to automate the switching. 

The 

OptiPoint

 function from RAUCH calculates the optimal switching-on and 

switching-off point for spreading in the headline on the basis of the settings in the 

control unit; see 

4.5.9: Calculate OptiPoint, page 41

. 

The symbol 

A

 next to the spreading wedges indicates that the automatic function 

is enabled. The control unit opens and closes the individual sections depending 

on the respective position in the field. The spreading starts only after pressing 

Start/Stop

.
