5 10.1.5Switching on/off the CLAAS Communicator

To switch on press the “ON” key(1) for approximately 1sec. –the start menu appears. To switch off, press the “ON” key for approx. 2sec., the controller switches off automatically after running through a shutdown routine (stand-by). If the swather is adjusted to the transport position automatically by the controller; it switches automatically to “stand-by” (Start menu) after approx. 2 minutes.

Note!

When a connection is established for the first time between the machine (attachment) and the CLAAS Communicator, the program for machine control is transferred from the machine computer unit to the CLAAS Communicator. The upload process may take several minutes until the first machine control menu is displayed. During the upload process, the menus are saved to the memory of the CLAAS Communicator. When the CLAAS Communicator is switched off and switched on again, the menus are displayed after approximately 5sec. If the machine's “Start menu”, e.g. for the LINER3000 (Fig.1) is not displayed after switch-on, the Communicator's memory is full, and the program cannot be stored. The CLAAS Communicator has sufficient memory for several machine control programs (attachments). If the memory is full, an earlier program must be deleted from the memory before saving another one.
