General instructions General instructions About the manual This manual contains the instructions for the operation of Black Bruin CTR101 control system. Obey these instructions when you use the product. Black Bruin CTR101 control system is part of the On-Demand Drive System transmission solution.
Safety instructions Safety instructions The instructions that follow apply to all procedures related to the product. Read these instructions fully and follow them carefully. • Use necessary personal protective equipment when you do work with the product. • Use correct support with the product. Make sure that the product cannot accidentally fall or turn.
Product description Product description Working principle The Black Bruin On-Demand Drive System can use hydraulic motors in the operating modes that follow: • Driving mode • Driving mode with HDC function (Hill descent control) (option) • Freewheeling mode. The chapters that follow give the working principles of these modes.
Product description HDC function (Hill descent control) (option) The HDC function helps when you drive the vehicle down on steep slopes, in both forward and reverse driving modes. When the HDC function is active, the wheel motors resist the wheel movement to the driving direction.
Getting started Getting started Display and user interface The display operates as a control element for the drive system. It also shows information to the user about the operation of the system. The functions of the F1 - F4 buttons change together with the view and the mode. The signs that show at the bottom of the display refer to the related functions of the F1 - F4 buttons.

Main view elements Main view elements Main view at the initial state You can manage the operating functions from the main view. Figure 5. The main view after the power-up. The system is in the freewheeling mode. If the system does not have the auxiliary valve control, the AUX icon does not show. If the system has the 2-speed motors, the D2 icon shows.
Main view elements 3: Sensor_failure_pressure_A 0/50 Figure 6. Status bar - Alarms and warnings. Tractive power and HDC level indication Tractive power level is shown on a scale of 0 -100%. Full power level is related to the maximum pressure level specified in the parameters. If the system has the HDC function (Hill descent control), the HDC level is also related to the maximum pressure level specified in the parameters.
Main view elements Measured level: • The number shows the measured val- • The colored power bar below the num- bers shows the measured value: • Green: PWR • Red: HDC. Measured and set values are percentages from the maximum pressure level that is specified in the settings (Maximum pressure level [bar]).

Operating functions 8/25 Figure 11. Braking in driving mode. The system with the HDC function (Hill descent control) If the driving mode is either forward or reverse, the HDC function activates when the tractor brakes. The HDC text comes into view and the power bar color changes to red. When the HDC function operates the values shown on the display represent the intensity of the HDC function instead of the tractive power.
Operating functions 32/38 Figure 12. Braking in driving mode with the HDC function. Assisting traction control (ATC), (F3) The assisting traction control (ATC) helps the tractor to move in difficult conditions. The ATC function restricts the flow to the wheels that do not have enough traction. This increases the torque on the wheels that have more traction.

Operating functions Note: Use the ATC when you drive on difficult terrain and on soft grounds. Auxiliary valve control (AUX), (F1) (option) Push the F1 button to toggle the auxiliary valve on and off. You can activate the AUX valve when the system is in the freewheeling (N) mode. The driving modes are not available while the AUX valve is activated.
