Fig. 3.13 The wheel encoder connector on the ProEx unit.
If no antenna box is used the encoder cable is connected directly to the ProEx unit.
The spray marker device (to help the operator to keep track of the measured swaths) can be used on
both sides of the standard antenna box (see Figure 3.14). It is connected to a remote control and
powered by a standard MALÅ battery pack or by the main power supply. The remote control and
automatic spray marker is customized to suit your system.
Note! Use a colour of the marker spray that is suitable for the investigation area. A high contrast
between the ground and marker is best, for instance red colour for grass. It is also advisable to use a
marker colour that will disappear quickly.
