Contact a Micro-Trak sales representative for de tails on any of these products,
or call Mi cro-Trak Systems, Inc. at 1-800-328-9613.
Astro II GPS Speed Sensor
In addition to the standard Hall-effect magnetic speed
sensor, the MT-3405 FTW may be interfaced with a va ri ety of
other speed sensing equipment. Several options are listed
below.
ASTRO SERIES OR OTHER GPS SPEED SENSOR INTERFACES
The MT-9000 may also be used with most GPS speed sensors
that output a pulsed signal, such as the Micro-Trak Astro
II and 5, SkyTrak or Dickey-John GPS speed sensors. An
adapter cable may be required.
VANSCO
™
RADAR SPEED SENSOR
The Vansco radar speed sensor uses a microwave (radar)
signal to deliver a reliable, accurate speed signal for electronic
equipment. It features state-of-the-art electronic design/
manufacturing, rugged aluminum housing and complete
testing and certification.
RADAR INTERFACE
The MT-9000 may also be interfaced with most popular
radar ground speed sensors. An adapter cable is re quired for
proper interface.
SEE APPENDIX H FOR LIST OF ADAPTER CABLES FOR RADAR.
GPS SPEED SENSOR INTERFACE
The MT-9000 may also be used with most GPS speed sensors
that output a pulsed signal, such as SkyTrak or Dickey-John
GPS speed sensors. An adapter cable may be required.
The Flowmeter must be installed in the boom supply line
after any strainers, return lines, or valves, but before the
boom shut-off valves. Secure ly mount flow me ter (hardware
not supplied) in a vertical position in an area away from
in tense vibration. DO NOT install flowmeter closer than 12”
to the servo valve or the boom shut-off valves. (The flow-
me ter may need periodic cleaning, so it should be easy to
remove). The flow meter is a bidirectional meter (exception:
Polmac’s 1 1/2” - 3”). Liquid can flow in either direction, but
up is preferred. Make con nec tions us ing 3/4” fit tings without
the use of reducers, elbows or sharp bends for a minimum of
six inches (15 cm) either side of meter. See Illustration 6.
NOTE: Save plastic plugs to protect flowmeter during
storage.
