System Safety Fuses
The entire control system is protected by three separate fuses located in various positions.
1. Installation loom fuse
This is located on the positive (+) wire at the power source end of the installation loom. This
protects the entire system from short circuits. The fuse used is a 5A (yellow) automotive
blade type (see below).
2. Battery cable fuse
This is located on the positive (+) wire of the battery connection cable. This protects the
charge system against reverse polarity from incorrect battery connection.
The fuse used is a 5A (yellow) automotive blade type (see above).
3. Power charge circuit board fuse
This is located on the power charge circuit board to protect the system from short circuits
particularly if fuse #1 has been replaced with a heavier rating or similar.
The fuse used is an M205 8A.
Radio Frequency Device
The Remote Display communicates with the wagon by a wireless link and must be within
range of the forage wagon for the system to operate correctly. If the Remote Display is not
able to communicate with the Controller, the antenna symbol ( ) will disappear or not show.
Common reasons are:
Local interference from a strong radio frequency source such as cell phone, power pylons
or R.T. site.
Distance between the Remote Display and Controller is too great. (Moving back within
range will allow the system to begin operating again.)
No power to the Controller (not plugged into tractor power or if fitted with a battery has
auto-powered off).
Physical medium in the signal path from the Remote Display to the forage wagon (e.g.
metal farm shed).
Remote Display and Controller operating on different RF channels.
Interference being caused by an adjacent farm using similar machinery. RF channel
should be changed to prevent further interference.
