Mounting the wheel sensor on the rim
The wheel sensor should be mounted on the rim in the following instances:
- ▪
- For a trailed sprayer – on the rim of the sprayer.
- ▪
- For a mounted sprayer and tractor with no all-wheel drive – on the front wheel of the tractor.
The following illustration shows the position of the wheel sensor and the magnet on the rim:
Position of the wheel sensor and the magnets on the rim
Procedure
- 1.
- Calculate the number of magnets required.
The number of magnets is dependent on the size of the wheel.
The distance traveled from pulse to pulse must not exceed 60 cm.
Calculation:
Wheel circumference ÷ 60 cm = number of magnets
e. g.:
256 cm ÷ 60 cm = 4.27 = min. 5 magnets
- 2.
- Mount the magnets on the wheel shell with the V4A screws provided.
The magnets must be distributed evenly around the perimeter of the rim.
- 3.
- Mount the wheel sensor onto the king-pin bearing using the bracket provided. The end of the sensor must point to the magnets.
The distance between the sensor and the magnets must be between 5 -10 mm.

- 4.
- Connect the wheel sensor electronically:
You can do this in the following ways:
- If you mounted the wheel sensor on the trailer-sprayer, connect the wheel sensor to the distributor. Use the 39-pole plug.
- If you mounted the wheel sensor on the tractor wheel, connect the wheel sensor directly to the Spraylight. Plug the sensor's 3-pole plug into the 8-pole flange socket of the Spraylight.
