2.2. HYDRAULIC CONFIGURATION A232, A233, A234, A235, AND A236 MODELS
2.2. HYDRAULIC CONFIGURATION
This valve is designed to be used with
tractors / hydraulic pumps that operate
in open loop format or with CLLS
(Closed Loop Load Sensing) with simple modifications. If you are unsure of
your hydraulic configuration it is recommended you contact your tractor dealer
to inquire. If you are unable to determine hydraulic pump configuration, we
recommend installing the valve in the
Open Loop configuration.
When shipped, the valve will be set-up
for Open Loop usage. Should you
require the valve set-up for CLLS,
follow these steps and refer to Figure
2.3.
1. Use two 7/16" wrenches to loosen
the two 1/4" bolts holding the valve
on.
2. Lift the valve, bolts, and spacers
from the mount as one, rotate it
180° as shown in Figure 2.3.
3. Insert the bolts into the second set of holes and retighten.

Figure 2.3
Note: There are 2 sets of holes into which to bolt the valve. When shipped, the valve
will be bolted through the holes closest to the end of the mount. When switching
to CLLS, you must use the other set of holes that are closer to the center of the
mount.
Note: When rotating the valve, the wires may become too short. If this occurs open the
junction box lid and slide extra wire out.

A232, A233, A234, A235, AND A236 MODELS 6.1. REMOTE CODING
6. Appendix
6.1. REMOTE CODING
For the remote to function correctly the receiver and transmitter must use the
same code. The code on both the transmitter and receiver can be changed
independently. The transmitter and receiver come from the factory pre-coded,
but while assembling, the coding of both the transmitter and the receiver should
be checked.
Important: The transmitter and receiver use different numbering for the switches. For
simplicity, set the receiver and record the positions in Table 6.1 to reference
when setting the transmitters.
Check the coding by confirming that the same switches are turned “on” for the
transmitter and the receiver by following the instructions below.
RECEIVER
The coding switches are located on the side of the receiver (Figure 6.1) under
the protective steel cover.
1. Record the position of all the switches in Table 6.1.
Note: When a switch is in the down position it is referred to as "on".
HAND HELD TRANSMITTER
The coding switches on the transmitter are hidden behind a removable snap in
cover on the back of the device (Figure 6.1).
2. Use a small screwdriver to pry the cover off the side of the transmitter.
3. Switches A9 and A0 on the receiver should always be in the "off" position or
the transmitter will not work.
4. Match the remainder of the switches to the receiver. When a switch is in the
location closest to the belt clip, it is "on". The position closer to the edge of
the remote is "off".
Note: To control the same receiver with multiple transmitters requires that all trans-
mitters have the same coding. Simply adjust the coding of any new transmitter to
the coding of your receiver and it will be ready for use.
Important: The transmitter and receiver use different numbering for the switches. For
simplicity, set the receiver and record the positions in Table 6.1 to reference
when setting the transmitters.
