.
7. Opticontrol® (option)
Opticontrol
®
is an option that makes it easy to use
attachments that have multiple controlled functions.
Opticontrol
®
replaces the previously available
Attachment control switch pack option for Avant
loaders.
If your loader is equipped with the Opticontrol
®
, the
electric functions or additional hydraulic functions of
an attachment can be controlled with the extra
buttons fitted on the joystick.
When the Opticontrol
®
is installed to the loader, there
are the following additional features on the loader:
1.
Additional
control buttons
on the joystick.
Check the
operator's
manual of each
attachment to
see how to
control the
attachment.
2.
An electric
socket in the
Multi connector
connects the
electric harness
of the
attachment
at
the same time
as the hydraulic
hoses of the
loader.
Check the operator's manual of the
attachment to see how to control
each attachment. Function of the
Opticontrol® and the Attachment
control switch pack depend on the
attachment.
Operating modes of Opticontrol
®
Check the operator's manual of the attachment to
see how to control each attachment.
There are two operating modes
of the Opticontrol
®
. Choose the
mode depending on the
attachment.
Keep the switch in OFF
position, unless using an
attachment that is intended to
be used with the combined
control mode.
Switch ON (combined control mode)
The combined mode of hydraulic and electric control
enables more simple and flexible operation of certain
attachments. In this mode Opticontrol combines the
auxiliary hydraulic control of the loader and electric
control of the attachment. Auxiliary hydraulic outlet is
switched on automatically only when a control button
is activated, making control of attachments with
multiple functions easier and more efficient. With
Opticontrol
®
, only one auxiliary hydraulics outlet is
needed on the loader, when using an attachment
that is compatible with the Opticontrol system.
The attachment must be compatible with this
operating mode. In this mode the auxiliary hydraulics
control lever must be left to its middle position.
Switch OFF (normal mode)
Use only the electric controls of attachment. Auxiliary
hydraulics control lever can be left to its locking
position.
Keep the Opticontrol® switch OFF whenever there is
no compatible attachment coupled to the loader.
Opticontrol
®
system in the
integrated hydraulic control mode
will benefit only specific
attachments that are intended to
be used with it. The attachment
must be originally fitted with its
own control valve that is designed
to be used with the Opticontrol
®
option. Some types of attachments
may need an extra hydraulics
outlet on the loader.
