Remote Run/Hold
DANGER: USE EXTREME CAUTION
WHEN USING THE REMOTE RUN/
HOLD FEATURE. ALWAYS SWITCH
THE CONSOLE OFF BEFORE LEAVING THE
TRACTOR OR ALLOWING ANYONE NEAR
THE IMPLEMENT FAILURE TO DO SO COULD
CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH.
Before using the Remote Run/Hold feature it first
must be enabled. The on/off control for the Re-
mote Run/Hold is located in the Options menu.
Press the key to change the “USING REMOTE
RUN/HOLD? N” question to “Y” then press SET.
The default setting for the Remote Run/Hold fea-
ture is “off” for both Spray and NH3 modes.
With the Remote Run/Hold feature enabled the
console will go into Hold when the switch is
pressed. With the Remote Run/Hold disabled
the console ignores the switch.
The Remote Run/Hold is available at the con-
sole and at the end of the boom control cable.
Only one of these connections should be used
at a time. It consists of a 2-pin connector. Pin 1
is ground and pin 2 is the input.
If a normally closed switch is connected it must
be positioned so that it will be activated when
you want the console to go into Hold. Refer to
drawing 5827 for a typical application.
If a proximity sensor is being used instead of the
switch then the console will go into Hold when
metal is present near the face of the sensor.
Refer to drawing 5828 for proper installation di-
mensions. These dimensions must be adhered
to or the sensor will not work properly.
The 8160 has a routine that will help you locate
the faulty component. This routine is listed in
the OPTIONS menu under Test Inputs. After an-
swering yes (Y) to the “Test R/H” question press
the SET key. The warning light will flash, the horn
will beep, and the display will count for each R/
H pulse received. The count may be cleared by
pressing the key.
NOTE:
. The Run/Hold test routine will not cause
the horn and light to stay on constantly while the
switch is activated. It will only give an indication
(flash and beep) that the switch had been activat
-
ed.
The display will show whether you have the Re-
mote Run/Hold disabled or not. If it is disabled then
this is probably the problem. The console ignores
the Remote RUN/HOLD if it has been disabled. It
can be enabled during the Set-up procedure.
The Proximity Sensor will output a pulse each
time ferrous metal is passed over its face (sensors
end). The Switch will output a pulse each time it is
momentarily pressed.
To test the console, plug a known good sensor into
the Run/Hold input at the console or momentarily
short pins one and two of the Run/Hold input.
If the console counts properly, plug a good sen-
sor into the sensor connection. Each time it has
a magnet passed across its face or the switch is
momentarily pressed it should count one. Repeat
the test working your way to the console until the
faulty component is located.
