The control system k-tronic
The control system for truck-mounted spreaders and three-point spreaders
The control system k-tronic for truck-mounted spreaders and three-point spreaders consists of two major electronic
components, the master and the slave.
The master (Version V4)
The master is the operating unit in the driver’s cab. All settings concerning the spreading operation are made from the
master. The master is installed easily accessible in the driver’s cabin. By means of the plug-and-socket connection, it
can be easily replaced or removed. By means of a permanently installed cable set, the firmly installed socket of the
plug-and-socket connection is connected with the central plug connection behind the driver’s cabin. The length of the
permanently installed cable set is adjusted to the respective vehicle.
The slave (Version V7)
The slave is the switching electronics at the rear of the spreader. The slave controls all hydraulic valves; furthermore,
electric consumers like rotating beacon and working headlights are controlled by the slave.
The electrical supply of the spreader is accomplished by a secured line from the vehicle battery. Together with the
control lines of the master, this supply line is connected with the central plug connection behind the driver’s cabin
and fed to the cable set of the spreader. A cable set is firmly installed at the spreader. After mounting the spreader,
this cable set must only be connected at the central plug connection.
If the master should be replaced, no settings are lost as all data is saved in the slave. Thus, it is possible to continue
working with the saved data immediately also with a different master.
To operate the master, the spreader must be connected with the central plug connection because the
master receives its energy supply and its data via the slave.
