General Description
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Jackal is capable of monitoring multiple functions simultaneously –e.g. In a 4 bin / tank Airseeder
application a single Jackal can monitor and display several shafts, bin levels, air pressure and more.
There are a total of 14 inputs available which are combined with a single output for emergency shutdown,
batching functions and speed proportional pulse outputs.
The inputs can have both high and low alarm thresholds set which can trigger emergency shutdown systems.
The unit employs a large daylight readable LCD to provide legible characters on the display and enable
calibration data to be clear and descriptive.
Up to 14 values can be displayed or used as totals, with up to 24 recordable trips allowing the operator to
track numerous jobs in a period of work. The Jackal can be put ‘on hold’ by the operator or by a suitable
signal from the machinery, so that periods of machine operation that should not accumulate as a work total
can be excluded from trip totals.
Our onboard calibration wizard makes setup a breeze! It’s simplified with the ability to enter either a factor
(pulses per unit) or simply drive/run a set amount whilst the unit is counting the pulses and let the system
calculate its own factor.
Each input can be used to display information using imperial and metric units.

applicable in industries such as agriculture when speed over ground in not
necessarily equivalent to rotational speed of the wheel/s. This wizard will
enable you to set up a comparison between wheel speed and actual speed
(using GPS)
