PLEASE NOTE: If you have purchased a radar speed sensor,
disregard the section on magnetic speed sensors and
install the radar as described in the instructions packed
with the unit. You will need to order an adapter cable to
connect the radar unit to the MT-3405F.
Locations where the sensor may be installed:
1. Non-driven wheel on tractor, vehicle or implement. This
is less susceptible to errors resulting from wheel slip.
2. Tractor, vehicle or planter drive shaft. This type of
mounting is recommended for trucks, four-wheel drive
tractors or other equipment that has poor or no access
to a non-driven wheel.

Magnet Installation
NOTE: Please read the following information about magnet
spacing and polarity.
The number of magnets that must be used depends on
where you mount the sensor. The general rule for tractor
or implement wheels is one magnet for each wheel bolt
(minimum of two, and always use an even number). For drive
shafts or small wheels (ATV’s), a minimum of two magnets
are required.
The magnets provided by Micro-Trak are marked with a
dashed line on the SOUTH pole side of the magnet.
See
Illustration 3A.
Always use an even number of magnets, and always alternate
the polarities of the magnets as you go around the wheel
hub or drive shaft.
To install, mount the first magnet with the SOUTH pole side
(dashed line) facing toward the hub or shaft. Mount the
second magnet with the NORTH pole side facing toward the
hub or shaft.
See Illustration 3B.
For proper operation, the magnets must be evenly spaced
around the wheel or drive shaft. The magnets must be at
least 1” apart.
See Illustration 3C.
