The S7 and S10 operate on the basis of proportional steering valve technology or, optionally, with the GPS PILOT FLEX steering wheel. They are also compatible with numerous GPS-ready solutions available on the market. Both terminal variants can be used with other makes of agricultural machinery.
The S7 and S10 support all the driving modes that CLAAS offers in its systems. A dual frequency receiver for the different correction signals from EGNOS through to RTK is now integrated in the housings as standard. This means that antennas do not need to be repositioned when switching to another correction signal. With standard equipment, the S7 and S10 work with EGNOS; OMNISTAR, BASELINE and RTK corrections, and GLONASS reception can be activated via the terminal menu if desired.
Users who only want to use their control terminal for the steering function exclusively, should opt for the 7" touchscreen S7. It boasts the very latest technology and is the right solution for this particular purpose. Users who require additional functions, however, should opt for the S10 terminal with its considerably larger 10.4" touchscreen.
The touchscreen of the S10 can display individual application screens as required. These can be individual images, for example a full-screen camera image, or screens of various applications simultaneously. With standard equipment, the S10 is designed to operate the steering systems. Users also have the ability to control ISOBUS implements and use up to four camera inputs in parallel. Extensive reference line and job management functions are also available, along with SECTION VIEW. The functionality of the S10 can be expanded with additional modules.
The optional AUTO TURN function provides significantly greater convenience for turning manoeuvres. The adaptive AB Contour function rounds off the driving aids. This function, for example, automatically adjusts existing AB contours when driving around obstacles. A separate favourites menu is another new feature. With this, users can design their own personal access screen and set it to show up to twelve of the functions they use the most.
The new S7 and S10 terminals are gradually being phased in as of spring 2014. Ex-factory integration will be possible in the 2015 CLAAS financial year.
