Assembling the sensor
•
The speed sensor (10) must be fitted in such a way that it is as close as possible to the counting
ring (6). Trailer sprayers have their own holder on the axle of the sprayer for this purpose. If an
add-on sprayer is used, the holder for the speed sensor must be fitted in the outer area of the
front tractor axle in such a way that it also turns in steering (fig. 6)
As a matter of principle, please ensure that the sensor is not put at risk by plants on the field
and other objects.
•
If no suitable screw or clamp-type fitting is available, the centring bores of the wheel axle or the
king-pin must be drilled open and a thread cut into the bore. Please ensure that the sensor must
transmit at least 50 impulses over a distance of 20 metres.
Note:
The clamp (11) must be fitted with at least two screws in order to prevent the sensor from
vibrating or being pushed away from the counting ring.
THE SENSOR MUST NOT TOUCH THE COUNTING RING UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES!
•
The supplied bar (12) can be used for the assembly of the sensor in the area of the front wheel
of the tractor (fig. 7).
•
Assemble the sensor in the clamp holder and rectify any possible inclination of the counting ring
with the shims (13) (fig. 8).
•
Move the sensor in the clamp holder (11) in such a way that the distance from the counting ring
is 3 to 6 mm (fig. 7 and 9).
•
The speed sensor (10) must be arranged on the cams in such a way that the middle of the
sensor is opposite the inside edge (14) of the cams (fig. 9).
Note:
If the sensor is fitted too far towards the outer edge of the counting ring, it does not
recognise the individual cams. In this case, no impulses are transmitted and the system
does not count.
•
Check whether the sensor counts each cam, the control lamp on the sensor must light up each
time. This is checked by lifting the axle of the tractor or the EMPTY field sprayer with a jack and
turning the wheel by hand.
When lifting the wheel, always operate the parking brake of the tractor first and secure
the vehicle against rolling away with wedges to be on the safe side!
Calibration of the speed sensor is described in paragraph Ҥ5.10 on page 41.
•
Lay the sensor wire to the driver's cabin and connect the plug to the control box (fig. 1).
Note:
When laying the sensor wire, please also consider the maximum steering angle!
