User responsibility

Refer to the following chapters to learn how to perform these steps.

Instructions on how to retrofit electrical and electronic farm equipment and/or components

Agricultural equipment used today features electronic components and parts whose function can be affected by other farm equipment which emits electromagnetic waves. Such effects could lead to personnel being put in danger, if the following safety instructions are not adhered to.

When selecting components, make sure first of all, that the retrofitted electrical and electronic components comply with the current version of the EMC Directive 2004/108/EC and carry the CE marking.

When retrofitting a machine with electrical and electronic farm equipment and/or components connected to the vehicle's electrical system, it is your own responsibility to check whether the installation causes interference with the vehicle's electronic system or other components. This applies, in particular, to the electronic control of: ▪ EHR, ▪ front linkage, ▪ take-off shafts, ▪ engine, ▪ gear.

Additional requirements

The following requirements must be met in order to retrofit mobile communication systems (e.g. radio, phone): ▪ All farm equipment must be approved and installed in accordance with the regulations applicable

in the respective country (e.g. in Germany, the Federal Approvals Office for Telecommunications

(BZT)). ▪ The equipment must be installed as a fixed installation. ▪ The operation of portable or mobile farm equipment in the interior of the vehicle is only permitted

via a connection to a permanently installed exterior antenna. ▪ The transmitting part must be spatially separated from the vehicle's electronic system. ▪ When attaching the antenna, pay attention to proper installation, including a sound ground

connection between the antenna and the vehicle's ground wire.

For information on wiring and installation as well as the maximum allowable current consumption, please also refer to the installation guide provided by the machine manufacturer.

NOTICE

Electromagnetic interference

The operation of the terminal may be impaired by electromagnetic waves emitted by other farm equipment.

◦ Mount the terminal at least 1 m away from the radio antenna or from a radio device.

1. Screw the bracket to the terminal.

2. Mount the terminal with the bracket installed inside the tractor cab.

For instance, you can use the ME base console for this purpose.
