13 VS-2 Control Panel
A simple and effective manually operated electric control used to instantly start and stop the feed motor at
headlands, and uses a dial control to set the feed motor speed and thus the application rate. It is not linked to
forward speed so once calibrated the operator drives at a consistent forward speed to maintain the rate, or can
manually increase or decrease application rates on the move using the dial.
NOTE
optional GPS Kit available to link the application rate to forward speed (see page 12)
The console is intended to be used in a waterproof in-cab environment, and should be mounted in a convenient
position using the mounting clips provided. Do not drill or open the box.
The console connects to the main junction box via a waterproof connector in the control cable, and remains live
unless this control cable or the main power cable is disconnected. Extension connector cables are available if
required.
The control console has 4 x toggle switches, and 2 x 12 position rotary dials and 3 LED’s, which are used to
control the spinning discs and the variable speed 12v feed motors.
The LED lights above each of the toggle switches indicate the status of the function.

A. FEED MOTORS ON/OFF CONTROL & CALIBRATE
. The toggle switches positioned on the left hand side of
the console operate the feed motors, the central position is off, down to the (
I
) is on and (
C
) is to calibrate when
in the field relative to forward speed if fitted with a GPS Speed sensor (optional extra)
B.
FEED MOTORS LEFT AND RIGHT CONTROL
The toggle switch is in the central position when in work,
each side can be turned ON and OFF independently for border control and short work. In the raised position the
left hand side is off, lower position the right hand side is off (remember this is from the driving position of a
self-propelled sprayer with the Fan Jets mounted on the front)
C & D
.
FEED MOTORS VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL
. The 3 position toggle switch to the left of the centre
rotary dial selects the speed range of the feed motors. This switch and the dial are used in combination to select
the feed motor speed, and thus the application rate. The 3 position switch selects the speed range, the
uppermost position is High Range, middle position is Mid Range, and the lowermost position is Low Range, and
12 speeds in each range allows a total of 36 different motor speeds. Use the speed ranges and dial to increase or
decrease seeding rate as required.
E. SPINNING DISC CONTROL ON/OFF
Both spinning discs are switched ON or OFF by the toggle switch
positioned to the right hand side of the console – both discs start and stop together.
F. SPINNING DISC SPEED CONTROL
The speed of the discs is controlled by the 12 position rotary dial
positioned to the right hand side of the console – maximum speed and thus maximum spread width is achieved
in position 12, and reducing the disc speed will reduce the spread width – both discs run at the same speed.
