Remote Run/Hold
The run/hold sensor cable has a BLACK body and mates with
the main har ness ca ble having a GRAY cable tie near the 3-pin
M/P con nec tor. Make certain that you install the correct sen-
sor cable and connect it to the correct connector on the main
harness.
• The basic idea is to attach a magnet to a lever or some
part of the equipment that moves when the im ple ment
is raised and lowered. The Hall-effect Run/Hold sensor is
sensitive only to the south pole of the magnet. Install
the magnet with the dashed line facing the sensor.
When the mag net is away from the sen sor, the con sole
will be in HOLD and the area and distance counting
functions will be disabled. NOTE: The run/hold kit
includes a 5’ sensor cable and 10’ extension. You may
re quire additional extension cables which are avail able
in 5 ft. (1.5 m), 10 ft. (3 m), 15 ft. (4.5 m), 20 ft. (6 m) and
25 ft. (7.6 m) lengths.
• You may also use a toggle or other type switch. Sim ply
cut the black jumper wire in the dust cover and splice on
an appropriate length of wire to reach your switch. Do
not connect to a switch with power.
When switch is open, console is in RUN. When the switch is
closed, the console is in HOLD.
