This manual is an integral part of the equipment to which it refers and must accompany the equipment in case of sale or change of ownership. Keep it for any future reference; ARAG reserves the right to modify product specifications and instructions at any moment and without notice.
• RESPONSIBILITY The installer must carry out "workmanlike" installations and ensure to the end user the perfect operation of the whole system both with ARAG components only and other brands' components. ARAG always recommends using its components to install control systems.
INSTALLATION POSITION ON FARMING MACHINE System recommended composition WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT ISOBUS CONNECTOR ( chap. 7 on page 9 THIS CONNECTION MUST BE CARRIED OUT LATER, ONLY AFTER INSTALLING ALL THE COMPONENTS. To connect all parts of the system correctly, make sure to use the proper connection cables. Consider any variants depending on system type.
INSTALLATION Control unit fixing Fix the control unit in a visible position within easy reach as shown in the figure. IBX100 Fig. 3 Consider all necessary connections of the device (par. ), the cable length, and make sure there is enough "Wiring harness connection"...
• Use of unsuitable cables not provided by ARAG automatically voids the warranty. • ARAG is not liable for any damage to the equipment, persons or animals caused by failure to observe the above instructions. General precautions for a correct harness position •...
• inductive speed sensor (code 467100.086); • magnetic speed sensor (code 467100.100). All ARAG sensors use the same type of connector. Connect the sensor connector to the relevant harness; make sure it is correctly fitted and push it until locking it.
Use the cable supplied in the auxiliary input package: ARAG Auxiliary Input control system is not compulsory on all systems, and must thus be ordered separately. Some Virtual Terminals allow controlling spreading spinners and gate directly from monitor touch-screen panel.
OBJECT POOL LOADING “OBJECT POOL” LOADING Images and the relevant description texts contained in this manual are given as a reference as they can vary depending on the Virtual Terminal used. If the descriptions do not correspond to the text displayed in your Virtual Terminal, refer to the manual attached to the latter.
