Radar Simulator -

for application rate sensor simulation on air drills.

The Radar Simulator The Radar Simulator (part # AE6608) can be coupled with the Radar
Sensor Adapter (part # AE2609) and the Application Rate Sensor Adapter (part # AE2607)and
connected to the air drill harness for sending a simulated application rate sensor pulse to the
monitor system.

Refer to Figure 15

1. Assemble the Radar Simulator together with the Radar Sensor Adapter and the
Application Rate Sensor Adapter.

2. Locate the wiring harness coming out of the application rate sensor. On any air
drill, this will be found at the end of the meter shaft. Follow the lead until you find
the three pin connection at the working set master harness.

3. Disconnect the sensor from the working set master harness and connect the assembly
made in step one. It can be connected to the FRONT AP (Front meter shaft sensor)
or the REAR AP (Rear meter shaft sensor).

4. Make sure the red LED light at the top of the simulator is brightly lit. This light
indicates a good power supply coming from the harness. If the light is off or dimly lit,
make sure the monitor system is powered on and inspect the harness and connections.

5. Rotating the knob on the face of the simulator changes the pulse rate that in outputs.
A clockwise rotation will speed the pulse rate up, and a counterclockwise rotation
slows the rate down.

6. Observe the channel frequency pulse reading the channel 1 or 2 as it relates to the circuit
being tested on the diagnostic screen. If no signal is seen, check monitor setup. Also check
the extension harness and the connection at Front AP, or Rear AP.
