1 INTENDED USE
This Auxiliary Input is a switch box in standard ISOBUS that, thanks to proper ISOBUS ARAG IBX100 control unit connection, allows to manage the
main functions of the crop sprayer (spraying and hydraulic).
This device is designed to work on agricultural machinery for spraying and crop spraying applications.
The machine is designed and built in compliance with EN ISO 14982 standard (Electromagnetic compatibility - Forestry and
farming machines), harmonized with 2014/30/UE Directive.

2 PRECAUTIONS
• Do not aim water jets at the equipment.
• Do not use solvents or fuel to clean the case outer surface.
• Do not clean equipment with direct water jets.
• Comply with the specified supply voltage (12 Vdc).
• If doing arc-welding, disconnect the connectors from device and disconnect its power cables.
• Only use ARAG genuine spare parts and accessories.

5.1 General precautions for a correct harness position

• Securing the cables:

- Secure the harness so that it does not interfere with moving parts.
- Route the harnesses so that they cannot be damaged or broken by machine movements or twisting.
• Fitting the cables to the connection points:
- Do not force the connectors by pushing too hard or bending them: the contacts may be damaged and device operation may be compromized.

Use ONLY the cables and accessories indicated in the catalog, having technical features suitable for the use to be made of
them.

• Switches for sequential control (up to 13 sections)

Section operating switches

Main control ON Main control OFF Increase of output Decrease of output
Open section Closed section

A Opens sections from the last one open C Opens sections from the last one open

B Closes the sections from the last closed D Closes the sections from the last closed

The valves can be opened and closed from the right to the left and vice versa with the section control switches. Prolonged pressure opens / closes
the sections of half boom.

Examples:
• Closing of one section

As in the example here, shift once

the switch to the left to close the first
open section.
Shift several times to close sections
in sequence.

• Opening of one section

As in the example here, shift once
the switch to the right to open the first
closed section.
Shift several times to open sections in
sequence.

• Simultaneous closing of half boom sections

As in the example here, keep the

switch shifted to the left to close the
boom open half.

• Simultaneous opening of half boom sections

As in the example here keep the

switch shifted to the right to open the
boom closed half.
