1. System overview All weighing spreaders are standard ISOBUS machines. Depending on the configuration the machine can have several components 1.2 ISO spreader with IM Tellus, Tellus GO or PRO 1.1 ISO spreader with a Non-ISO Tractor Setup for an ISO spreader and a Non-ISO tractor Setup for an ISO spreader and a ISO tractor The IsoMatch Tellus and IsoMatch Power Cable is conferting a non Iso The IsoMatch Tellus can be used on an ISO-Bus tractor.
1. System overview 1.3. ISO spreader and ISO tractor ECU, SPC, ITH or speed sensor is not necessary. Speed signal can be used from tractors CAN-BUS. (select wheel or radar in spreader software) Only one cable connection between tractor and spreader, the ISO-cable provides the transport of power and communication signals. After connecting ISO-plug from the spreader into the ISO-connector of the tractor, al the information and operating functions appear at the tractors terminal.
1. System overview 1.4 Controlboxes 1.4.1 IM Tellus GO The IsoMatch tellus GO can be delivered in 2 different configurations: 1: ISOBUS tractor configuration version. 2: Non ISOBUS Tractor version ISOBUS tractor configuration version Non ISOBUS Tractor version For more information about the Iso Match Tellus please check the operation manual of this Terminal. Or check the trainings manual Mechatronics “Most Important Cables KvG Mechatronics.
