CANBUS BOOM JOYSTICK CONTROL
This electronic control valve is equipped with high-resolution actuators on Boom, Side Shift, Deck Roll, and
Boom Swivel functions. These actuators have active fault monitoring. The Deck Shield section does not
have active fault monitoring. The joystick provides a signal to the Plus-1 Module and the Module provides
a ratio-metric voltage signal. The neutral signal voltage is half or 50% of tractor supply voltage. A 25%
signal voltage will shift the valve spool to full A-Port, and 75% signal voltage will shift the spool to full B-Port
in the Boom, Side Shift, Deck Roll and Boom Swivel valve sections. If an actuator with active fault
monitoring receives a signal from the joystick that is less than 15% or greater than 85% of supply voltage
the actuator will fault out and shut down. Also, if there is an internal failure in the actuator or if the spool
position is greater than that specified by the signal voltage from the joystick, the actuator will “fault out” and
shut down. An active fault condition causes the actuator to drive the spool to neutral, shut down, and
activate a red LED on the top of the actuator. The active fault can be canceled by simply cycling the
Master Switch OFF and then ON, which resets the fault monitoring, and causes the LED on top of the
actuator be green again. The Plus-1 Module has two LED indicators which are utilized for diagnostics.
(See troubleshooting).
Note: The joystick is factory set and no adjustments are required.
