Instructions on how to retrofit electrical and electronic farm equipment and/or
components
Agricultural equipment used today features electronic components and parts whose function can be
affected by other farm equipment which emits electromagnetic waves. Such effects could lead to
personnel being put in danger, if the following safety instructions are not adhered to.
When selecting components, make sure first of all, that the retrofitted electrical and electronic
components comply with the current version of the EMC Directive 2004/108/EC and carry the CE
marking.
When retrofitting a machine with electrical and electronic farm equipment and/or components
connected to the vehicle's electrical system, it is your own responsibility to check whether the
installation causes interference with the vehicle's electronic system or other components. This
applies, in particular, to the electronic control of:
▪
EHR,
▪
front linkage,
▪
take-off shafts,
▪
engine,
▪
gear.
The following requirements must be met in order to retrofit mobile communication systems (e.g. radio,
phone):
▪
All farm equipment must be approved and installed in accordance with the regulations applicable
in the respective country (e.g. in Germany, the Federal Approvals Office for Telecommunications
(BZT)).
▪
The equipment must be installed as a fixed installation.
▪
The operation of portable or mobile farm equipment in the interior of the vehicle is only permitted
via a connection to a permanently installed exterior antenna.
▪
The transmitting part must be spatially separated from the vehicle's electronic system.
▪
When attaching the antenna, pay attention to proper installation, including a sound ground
connection between the antenna and the vehicle's ground wire.
For information on wiring and installation as well as the maximum allowable current consumption,
please also refer to the installation guide provided by the machine manufacturer.
