VALVE CONTROL DEVICES
Valve Control devices regulate material flow for accurate control of product
application rates. Normally, granular and spinner channels regulate the
hydraulic oil flow rate to a motor. Liquid channels use several different
configurations.
HOPPER LEVEL SENSOR (OPTIONAL)
The optical light beam of this level sensor is blocked by the granular
material in the spreader bed. When the material level falls beneath the
sensor mounting level, a repetitive beep sounds and an appropriate
message displays in the warning/alarm area of the Operate screen.
HARNESSES
Main Harness Assembly-Connects the Console to the ground speed
sensor, feedback sensors, channel valve (or DC motor) actuators, vehicle
battery, ignition, and additional optional connections (including two-speed
axle, hopper level sensor, and boom sense inputs).
Retro Harness Assembly-Connects a Control Point console to an
ICS2000 harness (refer to Figure 53 in Troubleshooting section).
Other extension harnesses-Other extension harnesses are available that
allow for flexible sensor arrangement. Contact Technical Support for
harnessing alternatives.
