Forward speed signal

The control unit receives the pulses for the current forward speed via the 7-pin plug connector
(DIN 9684-1/ISO 11786). For this purpose, the 7-pin to 8-pin cable (accessory) is connected to the
forward speed sensor at the plug connector.

Fig. 10: PIN assignment of the 7-pin plug connector

[1]

PIN 1: actual forward speed (radar)

[2]

PIN 2: theoretical forward speed (e.g.
gearbox, wheel sensor)

3.3

Connect control unit

After having switched on the QUANTRON-A control unit, the machine number is briefly displayed.

Note the machine number

The QUANTRON-A control unit is factory-calibrated for the fertilizer spreader with which it has
been delivered.

Connect the control unit to the correct fertilizer spreader only.

Depending on the equipment, there are different methods of attaching the control unit to the fertilizer
spreader.
