Safety Information
Always follow the instructions that accompany a Warning or Caution. The information they
provide is intended to minimize the risk of personal injury and/or damage to property. In
particular, observe safety instructions that are presented in the following format:
WARNING – This alert warns of a potential hazard which, if not avoided, could result in
severe injury or even death.
CAUTION – This alert warns of a potential hazard or unsafe practice which, if not
avoided, could result in injury or property damage or irretrievable data loss.
NOTE – An absence of specific alerts does not mean that there are no safety risks
involved.
Warnings
WARNING – When you are working on the vehicle’s hydraulic systems, vehicle
attachments that are suspended can drop. If you are working around the vehicle, you
could suffer serious injury if an attachment dropped on you. To avoid this risk, lower all
vehicle attachments to the ground before you begin work.
WARNING – If someone else attempts to drive the vehicle while you are working on or
under it, you can suffer serious or fatal injuries. To avoid this possibility, install a lockout
box on the battery terminal to prevent the battery from being reconnected, remove the
key from the vehicle’s ignition switch, and attach a “Do not operate” tag in the cab.
WARNING – Agricultural chemicals can pose serious health risks. If the vehicle has been
used to apply agricultural chemicals, steam clean the vehicle to remove any chemical
residue from the areas of the vehicle where you will be working.
WARNING – Vehicle cabs can be quite high in the air. To avoid potentially serious injury
through falling from this height, always use the steps and handrails, and face the vehicle,
when you enter or exit it.
GFX/XCN Display Series User Guide | i

Safety Information
WARNING – Vehicles must be parked on a hard, level surface with the front and rear
wheels blocked. The steering must be aligned straight ahead. For articulated vehicles,
articulation locks must be installed.
Cautions
CAUTION – When the vehicle has been running, parts of the vehicle, including the engine
and exhaust, can become extremely hot and can cause serious burns. To avoid burns,
allow hot machine parts to cool before you begin working on them.
CAUTION – The system installation may bring you into contact with chemical substances,
such as oil, which can cause poisoning. Wash your hands thoroughly after you finish
working on the system.
CAUTION – Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead
compounds, which can cause serious illness. To avoid ingesting lead, wash your hands
thoroughly after touching the battery. Take care not to short-circuit the battery with tools
and/or by the incorrect fitting of cables as fire, burns, and damage can occur.
CAUTION – Always wear protective equipment appropriate to the job conditions and the
nature of the vehicle. This includes wearing protective glasses when you use pressurized
air or water, and correct protective welder’s clothing when welding. Avoid wearing loose
clothing or jewelry that can catch on machine parts or tools.
CAUTION – Parts of the vehicle may be under pressure. To avoid injury from pressurized
parts, relieve all pressure in oil, air, and water systems before you disconnect any lines,
fittings, or related items. To avoid being sprayed by pressurized liquids, hold a rag over fill
caps, breathers, or hose connections when you remove them. Do not use your bare
hands to check for hydraulic leaks. Use a board or cardboard instead.

Precision-IQ provides support for the transfer of data between a display in the field and the
Trimble Ag Software you use in your back office or you can manually transfer data using a
thumb drive. From the Precision-IQ Home screen, tap the Data Transfer button to begin:

Data Transfer
Data Transfer Overview

Precision-IQ provides support for the transfer of data between a display in the field and the Trimble Ag
Software you use in your back office. The collected data from your display can be transferred:
l Wirelessly using the AutoSync™ feature through a cellular or Wi-Fi network.
It is recommended to use the wireless option because data transfers can be configured to be done
automatically and seamlessly.
NOTE –
o The GFX/XCN displays include Wi-Fi functionality built-in.
o To connect a TMX-2050™ or XCN-2050™ display to a Wi-Fi network, see the TMX-2050 Display:
Supported Wi-Fi and Mobile Tethering Devices support bulletin.
o For other connection options, see the AutoSync: Connectivity Guide section of the AutoSync
User Guide.
When a wireless communication is established, all jobs that are completed in the field (using required
hardware) are sent to the web server for Trimble Ag Software. In addition, the display looks for updated
information to download from your Trimble Ag Software storage area. If you lose communication with
the web server, then your completed jobs are sent once communication is reestablished.
l Manually using a USB device. All GFX/XCN displays include at least one USB port for manual data
transfer.
Use the manual option when no network connectivity is available or connection is poor.
AutoSync Overview
NOTE – AutoSync is wireless data transfer for displays with Precision-IQ firmware version 6.xx and
higher.
AutoSync automatically syncs farm data across Trimble displays utilizing Precision-IQ software, eliminating
the need to manually share data via USB. AutoSync significantly reduces duplication, data re-entry, and
human error because field, resource, and operator information — whether online, via the Trimble Ag mobile
app, or on the display — is automatically synced by the minute across the entire farm operation.
The AutoSync feature is included with Farmer Core and Farmer Pro software subscriptions. Display
Connections licenses are required for each connected Trimble display.
AutoSync exchanges guidance lines, field boundaries, client/farm/field names, landmarks, vehicles,
materials, implements and operators. When the task is completed, task data will transfer from the displays
to the online platform. Customers with appropriate permissions can create, edit, and delete from any of the
connected devices, automatically updating the other devices within a few minutes:

Data Transfer
Data Type Create Edit Delete

Guidance Lines ✔ ✔ ✔
Client/Farm/Field Names ✔ ✔ ✔
Landmarks and Boundaries ✔ ✔ ✔
Operators ✔ ✔ ✔
Vehicles ✔ ✔ ✔
Materials ✔ ✔ ✔
Implements ✔ ✔ ✔
Using the wireless capabilities of AutoSync, you can:

l Save Time — Share farm data across all supported devices used in the operation, eliminating dual entry
of data.
l Improve Efficiency — Ensure definition and use of guidance lines is consistent for all operators through
automatic syncing.
l Reduce Human Error — Improve integrity of records by eliminating errors caused by multiple entry of
guidance lines, field names, field boundaries, resources, and landmarks.
l Leverage Two-Way Data Transfer — Powered by AutoSync, Trimble Ag Software solutions enable
automatic two-way data transfer with supported displays.
l Satisfy Regulatory and Contractual Obligations — AutoSync enables easy creation of application
coverage maps (proof of placement reports).
For details about the prerequisites and configuration for AutoSync, refer to the AutoSync User Guide and the
AutoSync Support Workflow.

Data Transfer
Setup and Configuration for Wireless Data

Transfer
To establish an effective wireless data transfer, Precision-IQ must be properly set up and configured to
collect the appropriate data to be transferred. This section describes how to set up and configure your
display for wireless data transfer.
FarmStream ties into the vehicle CAN and enables productivity data to be transferred, such as when a
machine is running or stopped, to Trimble Ag Software and includes real-time vehicle location and status
information.
For more information on FarmStream and how it compares to Trimble Ag's traditional telematics solution
visit:
https://agriculture.trimble.com/software/farmstream-faq/
Likewise, Trimble Ag software should be configured to receive a data transfer from Precision-IQ. Refer to the
websites below for information about Trimble Ag software:
l General information on how to set up and configure Trimble Ag software:
https://agriculture.trimble.com/software/support/how-to-central/
l New vehicle setup instructions:

Configuring FarmStream Settings

NOTE – The Productivity tab is only visible if the Enable Operators feature is turned on. This feature
is accessed by tapping Settings on the Home screen and selecting Operators and Passwords.
To use the Utilization app and FarmStream Fleet reporting on the display with Precision-IQ field application,
you must first set up the thresholds in the Precision-IQ application.
Setting Vehicle and Implement Thresholds for FarmStream Reporting

After opening Precision-IQ, you can set up the Implement and Vehicle settings for the Utilization app, so the
utilization data shows up as you want it to in FarmStream Fleet.
1. On the Precision-IQ Home screen, tap the Vehicle tile to set the vehicle settings. Then tap the
Productivity tab.

Data Transfer
In the Productivity tab, set a threshold for the vehicle maximum moving speed for the Utilization app.
Any time that the vehicle travels over this maximum moving speed, it is reported as speeding. If you turn
the Maximum Moving Speed off this means that the “speeding” state will not be used for the vehicle in
FarmStream Fleet.
2. To set the maximum moving speed option, tap Maximum Moving Speed. Choose a maximum moving
speed for the vehicle and then tap the green check button. There is also an option to display the speed
in US or Metric units. The range of the allowed moving speed that can be selected is noted in the dialog:
3. Tap the Summary tab and save your changes.
4. Return to the Precision-IQ Home screen and tap the Implement tile to set the Implement thresholds for
the Utilization application. Then tap the Productivity tab.
If an operator exceeds the functional speed for an implement, possible damage can occur to the
implement, the vehicle, the crop or the field. The display can send information about the implement
status to FarmStream Fleet in the Trimble Ag Software solution.
NOTE – The Productivity tab is only visible if the Enable Operators feature is turned on. This
feature is accessed by tapping Settings on the Home screen and selecting Operators and
Passwords.
These settings determine what information is sent about the implement from the Utilization application
to FarmStream Fleet.
5. To set the Maximum Transport speed, tap Maximum Transport Speed and enter a value in the range
indicated. Select the Units, if required. Tap the green check to save.

Data Transfer
6. Tap Maximum Operating Speed and Stopped To Delayed Timeout to set the values and/or select
units for these two parameters. Tap the green check to save.
7. Tap the Summary tab and save your changes.
The table below describes the different settings options:
Setting Description
Maximum Transport The functional speed limit for transporting the implement. The options are On or Off and a
Speed numerical value for the speed.
Maximum Transport Speed is used to determine when a vehicle enters the “speeding” state.
The minimum of Maximum Transport and Maximum Moving speed will be used in this
determination; Maximum moving speed is configured under the vehicle setup (Productivity
tab).
If Maximum Transport Speed is turned off, then the Maximum Moving Speed for the vehicle
is used to determine the “speeding” threshold (if Maximum Moving Speed is turned on).
Maximum Operating The functional speed limit for the implement when coverage logging is on. The options are
Speed On or Off and a numerical value for the speed.
Maximum Operating Speed is used to determine when the vehicle enters a “rushing” state.
Stopped to Delayed The length of time the vehicle can be paused before the vehicle is considered delayed. The
Timeout options are On or Off.
Stopped To Delayed Timeout is the amount of time that will pass after the vehicle has entered
a “stopped” state before it’s considered to be in a “delayed” state (and the operator may be
prompted to select a reason for the delay).

Data Transfer
Setting up an Operator for FarmStream Reporting
NOTE – The Enable Operators feature must be enabled in order for FarmStream to run. This feature
is accessed by tapping Settings on the Home screen and selecting Operators and Passwords or by
enabling operators from the Trimble Ag Software using the enable option at People ⇒ Contacts ⇒

To set up operator information, turn on your display. You should see the Operator app. Tap the Operator
app icon to launch it.
Operators can be created in the Fleet or Farm ⇒ Contacts page of the Trimble Ag Software. All operators
in the display’s organization are automatically sent to the display when it has connectivity. If operators in the
Fleet page are changed, any changes will be visible in the Operator app after the app has been killed and
restarted, or when the display has rebooted.
Operators can also be created locally on the display, but they will not be sent to the Trimble Ag Software to
be seen on the Fleet page unless AutoSync is turned on. These local operators will not show in the menu in
the Operator app.
1. Login to the Operator app in order to track who is using the vehicle, for reporting in the Utilization app
and FarmStream.
2. Enter or scan your operator PIN to login.
Once logged in, the operator information will be recorded along with any utilization data.
