Control Box Usage
Topcon AG System Five Operator’s Manual
2-12
• Auto control – the control box sends electrical signals to
the electric control valve to automatically raise or lower the
implement to keep it on-grade.
• Manual control – the operator can view the grade
adjustment LEDs, and use the tractor’s manual hydraulic
control to raise or lower the implement.
Pressing the Auto button switches the box from Auto to
Manual, or from Manual to Auto. When the control box is in
Auto mode, the Auto button LED illuminates.
If a remote auto/manual button is connected:
1. Press the Control Box Auto button. The Auto LED begins
to blink, but the Control Box is still in its current mode.
2. While the Auto LED blinks, use the remote Auto/Manual
button to set the Control Box to Auto or Manual. The Auto
LED remains steady for automatic control or turns off for
manual control.
