Misc Problems
and Solutions
Problem 1:
The booms won’t enable. ‘Automatic’ mode won’t come on when
tapping left or right down on the joystick, but it will enable by pushing Enable on
the controller.
Solutions:
1. Check the interface wires at the solenoids for proper hook up:
LUP = White, LDN = Red, RUP = Green, RDN = Black.
2. The boom sense cable is not properly connected to the down coils on the
valve stack.
3. The sprayer doesn’t have down coils, so the only way to enable them is to use
the ‘enable’ switch on a G1 controller or Function Keys 1 and 4 on a G2
controller.
4. Verify that there is 12 volts on the down coil wires. Use a volt meter to verify
there is a voltage spike while the down switch is held down. It isn’t necessary
to have the machine running, but the key needs to be switched on.
5. Check that the green lights come on when you hit the downs on your boom
controller.
Problem 2:
The pressure alarm is always on.
Solutions:
1. Verify that calibration has been completed. Refer to the ‘Setting
Pressure Alarms’ section of the Calibration chapter and complete all steps.
2. Verify that the pressure transducer is plugged in and that the white dots on the
transducer and plug are lined up as shown below.
3. Test the continuity of the cable by using the ‘
’ function on a multimeter,
being sure that pin 1 on the pressure transducer connector matches up to pin 3
on the weather pack, and pin 2 matches to pin 4.
