5.9 Treatment status signal
If the machine is equipped with a treatment control, such as a switch on the control valve, the SKIPPER LT can be connected to a corresponding
treatment status signal, so that it receives a +12 Vdc signal directly from the control itself when treatment starts.
We recommend that the control be connected to the main control valve positive pole.
Since the current in question is very low, the cable connection to the control need not be of any special cross-section.
CAUTION: the connection to the treatment control must be done by a qualified technician.
ARAG is not liable for damage to the system, persons, animals or things due to incorrect connection of the above control or
modifications to the system, cabling, connectors or any other components required to make the connection.
• If the treatment start control connection is not made, the operational status of the equipment must be entered into the SKIPPER LT manually with
the key

5.10 Connection to the power source
WARNING!
To avoid short circuits, do not connect the power cables to battery before the installation is completed.
Before powering up the satellite navigator, make sure the tractor battery voltage rating is correct (12 Vdc).
Skipper LT is directly powered by the farming machine battery (12 Vdc): ALWAYS switch satellite navigator on through the relevant procedure; after
use, remember to manually switch Skipper LT off through the relevant push-button on control panel.
Leaving Skipper LT on for too long while farming machine is stopped could drain the tractor's battery. If the machine stays with
engine off for a long time, make sure you disconnect Skipper LT from the battery (Fig. 10).
WARNING:
• The power circuit must ALWAYS be fitted with a 3 Amp automotive fuse.
• All cables connected to the battery shall have a minimum cross-section of 1 sq. mm.
• Use cables with suitable terminals ensuring correct connection of all wires.
