6.7 How to check speed sensor operation D.18 code 481 

Check the functioning of the proximity sensor as follows: 
1.  Switch on the Computer (switch ON, see Picture 9 - ref.<

A

> on page 18); 

2.  A quick pressure on the 

 key will display the feed-rate (third arrow from the 

left side 

3.  Using  a  screwdriver  or  other  metal  mass,  pass  over  the  red  part  of  the  sensor 

repeatedly. If the computer displays the simulated speed (which probably will not 
be constant) it means that the sensor is functioning and is properly connected. 
 

6.8 How to check PTO D.18 Cod.481 sensor for functioning 

Check the functioning of the PTO sensor as follows: 
1.  Switch on the Computer (switch ON, see Picture 9 - ref.<

A

> on page 18); 

2.  A  quick  pressure  on  the 

  key  will  display  the  rotating  speed  of  the  PTO 

(sixth arrow from the left side ) 

3.  Using  a  screwdriver  or  other  metal  mass,  pass  over  the  red  part  of  the  sensor 

repeatedly and quickly. If the computer displays the simulated PTO speed (which 
probably  will  not  be  constant)  it  means  that  the  sensor  is  functioning  and  is 
properly connected. 
 

6.9 How to check level sensor operation D.18 Code 1403 

Check  the  functioning of  the sensor  for the product  level  inside  the  tank  (if  present) 
as follows: 
 
1.  Switch on the Computer (switch ON, see Picture 9 - ref.<

A

> on page 18); 

2. 

Program  the  parameter  “U”  =  0  (see  section  

Operation

”  on  page 

30  and 

following); 

3.  If  the sensor  is  free,  in  AUTOMATIC  mode,  the  visual and acoustic  alarm shall 

be given (see section “

Operation

” on page 

30 and the following); 

4.  by covering the sensor with a hand, the acoustic alarm shall be disabled within 

<2> seconds
