Installation (cont) Locate the power cable on the main wiring harness. See Illustration 3. Connect the RED wire to the contact point you have lo­ at­ d. At­ach the BLACK wire (ground) to a screw c e t or bolt on the equipment frame. See inset below. (A 4-amp in-line fuse is required for unprotected circuits.) Be sure there is a good metal-to-metal con­act. The ter­ i­ al con­ ec­ors t mn n t have been sup­ lied for your convenience. You may wish to p sub­ ti­ ute other types of con­ ec­ ors or make a direct solder s t n t con­ ec­ion. In routing cable to con­ ole, avoid ar­ as where n t s e...

Installation (cont) to boom 1, the red wire to boom 2, the White wire to boom 3, the green wire to boom 4 and the BLACK wire to boom 5. See Illustration 4 and 5. The universal switch box harness is designed to connect to your existing boom control switches. The system will accommodate from one to five boom switches. Use the moisture resistant tap connectors supplied with the kit to make the connections. Electrical Installation (cont) For Two Wire Ball Valves, connect to the switch terminal that is HOT when the valve is ON (open), and ground when the valve is OFF (closed). Route the...

Installation (cont) Speed Sensor Installation PLEASE NOTE: If you have purchased a Vansco radar or other radar or GPS speed sensor, disregard the section on magnetic speed sensors and install the radar or GPS Speed Sensor as described in the instructions packed with the unit. You will need an adapter cable to connect to radar or GPS Speed Sensor, see Appendix I, on page 69. 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...

Sensor assembly must not Illustration 7 be mounted more than 45° from perpendicular Installation (cont) Attaching the Speed Sensor The magnets are attached to a wheel hub or drive shaft and the speed sensor is mounted directly over the magnet. When the wheel or drive shaft begins turning, a speed impulse is sent to the MT-2405F II console every time a magnet passes by the tip of the speed sensor. For the speed sensor to operate properly, the spacing between the magnets and the tip of the sensor must always remain constant. Before permanently mounting any parts, be sure that the location...
