Mounting Of The Proximity Sensors - Raven SBGuidance Onland Plough Installation Manual

2.5. Mounting of the proximity sensors

To determine the actual plough position it's
needed to install two proximity sensors on the
rear-mounted three-point linkage of the plough
(Figure 12). The position of the plough is
needed to determine the correct centre offset
for the GPS-antenna. On mounted reversible
ploughs the proximity sensors also determine
the actual moment the antenna tilt mechanism
needs to flip the antenna in order to be in an
upwards position during ploughing.
Find an appropriate place to install the proximity
sensors on the rear-mounted three point
linkage of the plough. Keep in mind that as
soon as the plough starts to flip over the
proximity sensor mustn't measure anything.
When both proximity sensors aren't measuring
anything the system know the plough is flipping
over and the GPS-antenna will align with the
plough frame. The antenna will rise up when
the plough is completely flipped over. It's also
important that when the plough is in its left or
right position the proximity sensors get a solid
measurement. If not the GPS-antenna will align
with the plough frame during ploughing, thus
making it impossible to get good GPS signals
for steering. To know which cable needs to be
connected to which sensor check the labels on
the cable itself.
