Introduction
The
Giltrap Generation II RF Control System
consists of a Controller that is mounted on the
wagon that uses wireless technology to relay data such as feed rate, load weights or feed-
out amounts (depending on options purchased) from the wagon and displays it on the
Remote Display mounted near the operator on the tractor, allowing the operator to control
the feed rate using different modes.
Powerfully capable, yet simple to use, the controller has large buttons and an easy-to-read
display allowing the operator to constantly monitor, and adjust the feed rate when needed, all
while on the move.
Control Mode Options
The system has a total of five different operation modes available. The availability of these
are dependant on the hardware options fitted to the machine.
Hardware available: Load cells
– for weight readings
Solenoid coil
– for floor control
Wheel sensor
– for ground speed calculation
Standard Mode
The operator controls the feed rate through a percentage range from 0 to 100%.
Requires a solenoid coil to be fitted. Load cells are optional.
Weight Mode
The operator can enter a target weight to feed. The feed rate control is the same as Standard
mode.
Requires load cells and solenoid coil to be fitted.
Distance Mode (also known as Fully Automatic mode)
The wagon will unload the required amount over the required distance, and will compensate
for changes in ground speed.
Requires load cells, solenoid coil and wheel sensor to be fitted.
Speed Mode
The operator controls the feed out rate through a percentage range from 0 to 100% and the
feed rate is automatically adjusted according to ground speed.
Requires a solenoid coil and wheel sensor to be fitted. Load cells are optional.
Scales Mode
Only has a weight display. Requires load cells to be fitted.
Floor rate is controlled manually.
