Troubleshooting
16K PLUS October 2019 8-3
16k PLUS Control System
The 16k PLUS is operated from the monitor in the cab of the tractor, which contains all the computer programming
and controls the functions of the stacker. The monitor communicates with the control box on the stacker via a hitch
cable. The control box is responsible for opening and closing the valves and monitoring the sensors.
Common Sensor Troubleshooting
There are eleven sensors on the 16k PLUS: nine ferrous metal sensors, one pressure sensor, and one shaft sensor.
This manual will refer to each of the sensors by name. Use the following diagram to locate each sensor:
Ferrous Metal Sensors
Ferrous Metal Sensors are located at points 1, 2, 3, 4,
5, 6 and 7 in diagram above. See next two pages for
photos of sensors.
The ferrous metal sensors read either true or false.
A true reading indicates a piece of steel is near the
sensor. (must be magnetic steel). The function of a
sensor can be checked by placing a steel washer on
the sensor, and checking the reading on the monitor
(see Measure - Sensors menu) the sensor should read
“true” when it is activated. If the sensor is unplugged,
it should read false.
Important: Insufcient gap may allow the sensor to
contact moving parts and be destroyed.
