INTRODUCTION
• MANUAL USE MODES
The section of this manual dedicated to the installation contains information for installers. For this reason we have used technical terms without
providing explanations which would be necessary for end users only.
THE INSTALLATION MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY AUTHORIZED AND SKILLED PERSONNEL ONLY. ARAG IS NOT RESPONSIBLE
FOR ANY OPERATION SPECIFIED IN THIS MANUAL CARRIED OUT BY UNAUTHORIZED OR UNSKILLED PERSONNEL.
• LIMITATIONS
The descriptions of the assembly phases refer to a "general" Virtual Terminal, so specific models will not be mentioned, unless a certain installation
procedure concerns exclusively one VT type.
• RESPONSIBILITY
The installer must carry out "workmanlike" installations and ensure to the end user the perfect operation of the whole system both with ARAG
components only and other brands' components.
ARAG always recommends using its components to install control systems.
The installer will be held responsible for any malfunction if he decides to use other brands' components even without actually changing the system
parts or harness.
The compatibility check with components and accessories of other manufacturers shall be carried out by the installer.
If the ARAG components installed together with other brands' components get damaged because of what stated above, no direct or indirect warranty
will be provided.

- 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.
- the cable branches must ALWAYS be face down (Fig. 8).
- Do not force the connectors by pushing too hard or bending them: the contacts may be damaged and system operation may be compromised.

).
Connect harnesses as specified in par. 5.3; each one of them shall be connected to the corresponding socket on the remote control unit.
Close the unused connectors with the relevant caps supplied in the package.
• Open connector slide (1,Fig. 10).
• To position connector (2), insert it inside socket (3), then press: .
• Close slide (4) until it locks in place.

6.3
WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT THE CONNECTORS TO THE SELETRON NOZZLE HOLDERS.
THE SELETRON ELECTRIC CONNECTORS MUST BE CONNECTED AT A LATER TIME, DURING THE PAIRING PROCEDURE
).
Route the cable following these rules:
1 The Seletron units are connected to the ECU (Fig. 11) via two main wiring harnesses (1 and 2), each made up of three types of cables: head-
end cable (3), extension cable (4) and termination cable (5);the termination cable is indispensable in order to close circuit.
.
Consider all necessary connections of the Seletron system, the cable length, and make sure there is enough space for connectors and cables. Secure
the cables with ties to protect them from damage.
EXTENSION
WARNING: THE CABLES DESIGNED FOR CONNECTING TWIN SELETRON UNITS ON BOOMS UP TO 24 M LONG SHOULD
NEVER BE USED ON LONGER BOOMS.
2 ECUs, main control valve, flowmeter and pressure sensor must be installed in the front section of the machine; if needed, ONLY the sensors may
be moved to a different position and connected using the extensions listed in the catalog.
3 Choose and install the cables so that they retain some freedom of movement at boom joints.
BOOM JOINT
HOSE CABLE PIPE
4 ALWAYS secure the main cable connections (3, 4and 5) to a stationary section of the boom; the head-end cable is longer than the termination
to facilitate this.
AA

5 Account for any possible boom movement when positioning and fixing the cables.
6 Connections between the main cables (3, 4and 5). Respect the position of the
connectors and do not force the insertion: the position is correct when the guides A(Fig.
17) fit into the counterpart seat.
7 Carefully check that no connections or branches are positioned near moving parts and high enough to clear possible obstacles on the ground.
Ensure that the Seletron nozzle holders do not become jammed with one another or touch any cables or delicate system areas when the boom is
closed or folded away.

8 If space is limited and you need to bend a cable, be sure not to bend it too tight or it may get damaged.
9 Position the cable so that branches Aare equally spaced from Seletron connectors B.
10 Secure the branches to the boom threading the ties through the suitable recesses.
11 When installing a twin or fourfold nozzle holder, make sure that all connectors are facing the same direction, or the computer might select the
wrong nozzle.
For special needs it is possible to install two nozzles on boom ends that can work instead of the standard outer nozzles.
12
When the connectors are plugged off, the Seletron is sealed. To avoid damaging the internal components, make sure that when using or cleaning
the system the plugs and the connectors are not bare or inserted incorrectly.

6.5 Fig. 3
The system allows two Seletron type valves to be connected to handle "Fence" type nozzles.
The valves must be connected by means of an adapter cable.
6.6 Fig. 2
The system allows two supplementary Seletron type valves to be connected to handle "Fence" or “Buffer” type nozzles.
• FENCE NOZZLE:
The Seletron installed must be a single type, regardless of what is mounted on the rest of the boom.
• BUFFER NOZZLE:
The Seletron and the nozzles installed must be of the same type as those mounted on the rest of the boom;
in particular, the end nozzles must be installed in the same position as the other nozzles and use the same flowrates.
Connect the Seletron nozzle holders to the ends of the boom using the appropriate splitter cable (21 Fig. 2), using the last connectors on the right
and left of the main harness.
6.7
The system can control up to 9 hydraulic functions through double-acting valves.
Fix the connectors to the relevant valves according to the initials indicated in your assembly general diagram (par. 5.1).
