Soft Barrier Warning on the Zimmatic Vision

An independent guide from FixMyPivot, not from the manufacturer. Brand and panel names are here only so you can find your own equipment.

What it means

The machine is running inside a soft barrier area it was told to avoid.

The machine is currently running inside an area marked by a soft barrier, a position it was programmed not to enter.

This is what it means on the Zimmatic Vision. On a different panel the same light or message can mean something else. Wrong panel? Pick another Zimmatic panel.

Safety

Center pivots run on high voltage and heavy moving machinery. Shut off and lock out power at the main disconnect before you open a panel or touch anything electrical. If you are not sure, stop and call your local pivot dealer or a licensed electrician. These pages tell you what a code means. They do not replace a qualified technician, and the safety instructions that came with your equipment come first.
