MCK 3000
3.2 Sensor installation
The
MCK 3000 Area Control
can be equipped with 3 types of sensors:
•
speed sensor (always present);
•
mechanical counting sensor (for NON self-levelling combine harvesters, tractors,
etc.);
•
reflection seed sensor (for self-levelling combine harvesters).
3.2.1 Speed sensor installation
You can install the speed sensor anywhere there is mechanical movement, on the
wheel (front or rear) of the agricultural machine/vehicle or by creating a metal
reference protruding by at least 7 mm ( Figure 4 ref. B2). We recommend installing
the speed sensor inside the wheel and placing the sensor head opposite the rim bolts
(Figure 4
– ref. A and B).
Set the gap between the sensor and the bolts at about 2/3 mm (Figure 4
– ref. B1).
Firmly fix the sensor bracket (supplied) to a secure part of the machine. Fix the
sensor to the bracket with the nut and the lock nut.
!
Warning
The sensor cable should be covered with a rubber sheath.
