SECTION 2 CONTROL DESK FUNTIONS
Section 2.1 Control Desk
Connecting the control desk & junction box.
Place the control desk in the cab and attach it in a convenient location using the suction cup. Plug the control desk
into the power supply.
Route the machine cable to the tractor auxiliary power socket ensuring it is kept away from the rear wheel and any
pinch points between the PTO shaft and link arms. Where possible, route into the cab through cable entry points on
the tractor, allowing the rear window to be kept closed during use.
Ensure the functions of the control desk are completely understood before proceeding to use the machine. In
particular the bale chamber is actuated in the forward direction by pushing the milling direction button and stopped
by pressing the button again. Reverse of the bale chamber can only be actuated by holding the reverse button.
The control desk will not turn on until the Bluetooth connection with the machine has been established, the LED
stops flashing and is illuminated. To establish this connection both the control desk and junction box must be
connected to a power source.
Should the control desk fail to connect to the machine, first make sure the junction boc on the machine has power, if
it has, then press the "ON" and "OFF" buttons together for 2 seconds. This will make the control desk search for the
Bluetooth signal from the Tomahawk.
Programming electronic controls
The electronic controls are programmable via the control desk to optimise the performance of the machine.
Before adjusting the settings for the rotational speed of the bale chamber it will be necessary to unfold the
conveyor and lower it to a working position.
The following instructions will allow you to programme the stop position (0) and high speed position (10) of
the bale chamber speed dial. This process will allow maximum bale chamber rotation speed
compromising the other services the valve block can provide.
To perform this operation the following steps must be followed exactly.
a)
Turn on the tractor and engage PTO shaft drive which will start the hydraulic system.
b)
Set the tractor engine revs to a achieve a 1000 rpm PTO speed.
c)
With the control desk off, turn the bale chamber rotation speed dial down to 0.5.
d)
The following buttons must then be pressed & held down in this order;
1 Bale chamber milling direction.
2 Automatic bale chamber speed control.
3 On.
