FOREWORD
1 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 pro-
viding 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.
2 LIMITATIONS
The descriptions of the assembly phases refer to a "general" Virtual Terminal, so specic models will not be mentioned, unless a certain installation
procedure concerns exclusively one VT type.
3 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.
4 RISKS AND PROTECTIONS BEFORE ASSEMBLY
The installation works relating to the job computer, except the main connection (ISOBUS system Chap. 10) must be done with
battery disconnected, using suitable tools and any individual protection equipment deemed necessary.
Use ONLY clean water for treatment tests and simulations: using chemicals during simulated treatment runs can seriously injure
persons in the vicinity.
5 INTENDED USE
The equipment you have purchased is a standard ISOBUS system compliant with ISO11783 to be applied to a crop spraying boom.
This device is designed to work on agricultural machinery for spraying and crop spraying applications.
The machine is designed and built in compliance with ISO 14982 standard (Electromagnetic compatibility - Forestry and farming
machines), harmonized with 2014/30/UE Directive.
6 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 specied power voltage (12 VDC).
• In case of voltaic arc welding, remove connectors from the device and disconnect the power cables.
• Only use ARAG genuine spare parts and accessories.

INSTALLATION
8.2 IBX 100 control unit xing
Secure the control unit on the back of the machine, close to the control unit and the hydraulic unit.
Consider all necessary connections of the device (par. 9.3), the cable length, and make sure there is enough space for connec-
tors and cables.
For any reference to the system conguration read par. 8.1.
Respect the mounting direction of the control units, as specied in Fi g . 4 (connectors shall be facing down).
Fix the ECU using the 4 bolts tted into their slots (A, Fi g . 4 ).
No other type of assembly is allowed.

INSTALLATION
9 WIRING CONNECTIONS
• Use original ARAG harnesses only.
• Take care not to break, pull, tear or cut the cables.
• Use of unsuitable cables not provided by ARAG automatically voids the warranty.
• ARAG is not liable for any damage to the equipment, persons or animals caused by failure to observe the above instructions.
9.1 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.
• Routing the cables to protect against water inltrations:
- the cable branches must ALWAYS be facing down.
• 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 system operation may be compromised.
Use ONLY the cables and accessories indicated in the catalog, having technical features suitable for the use to be made of them.
9.2 Control unit (ECU) connection
WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT ISOBUS CONNECTOR (Fig. 9 on page 10).
THIS CONNECTION MUST BE CARRIED OUT LATER, ONLY AFTER INSTALLING ALL THE COMPONENTS (Chap. 10 ISOBUS
system cable connection).
Connect harnesses as specied in par. 9.3; 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.
If they prove hard to insert, do not force them, but check the shown position.
Fi g . 6
Some connectors are supplied with separated slide.
Manually insert the slide in the most convenient position for connector insertion and removal.
• Open connector slide (1,Fi g . 6 ).
• Position connector (2) and insert it inside socket (3) then press: during this operation, take special care not to bend electric contacts.
• Close slide (4) until it locks in place.

9.3 Wiring harness connection
Fi g . 7
9.4 Hydraulic valve connection
Fi g . 8
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).
• Position seal (1) onto connector (2), then connect the latter pressing it fully home (3):
during this operation, take special care not to bend valve electric contacts.
• Insert screw inside connector, and screw it (4) until it is tightened.
The function of each switch on the hydraulic function control panel is described below.
• Connect the connector marked with “DD” to the pilot valve, and then the other connectors, as specied on the table:

10.1 Connection of in-cab cable
Use the cable supplied in the auxiliary input package*.
Connection: Fit the connectors (in-cab connection in Fi g . 9 ), ensure they are correctly in place and turn the ring nut clockwise until blocking them.
*ARAG Auxiliary Input control system is not compulsory on all systems, and must thus be ordered separately.
Some VTs allow controlling section valves directly from monitor touch-screen panel.
10.2 Connection of ISOBUS cable
Use cable ISOBUS PLUG ("Fig. 2"-"Fig. 3", para. 8.1 System typical composition).
Connections: x the connectors (ISOBUS connection in Fi g . 9 ); make sure they are correctly tted and push until locking them.
