Explanations
User interface
Display appearing after switching on the control system k-tronic.
Turning knob
The control system k-tronic disposes of 3 turning knobs in the lower area. The turning knobs have no
internal/mechanical stop, they can be rotated continuously.
In addition, the turning knobs feature a push-button function. To actuate this button, the turning knob must be pressed
in the direction of the rotation axis.
The turning knobs have partly different functions within the different menu options. During turning the turning knob,
the value of the setup screens changes at the last digit. At many setup screens, the values can be modified with the
turning knob pressed; the setting value changes by factor 100 per detent.
At particular setup screens, the push-button of the turning knob triggers actions.
Button 1 to button 6
The control system k-tronic has 6 buttons.
The buttons have partly different functions within the different menu options. If a
button with a small symbol is displayed (e.g. button ), the button closest to the displayed symbol is
meant.
In certain cases, a different button must be pressed for a function (e.g. right and left shift key).
Button ON
The button ON at the control system k-tronic switches on and off the supply voltage of the spreader.
When switching on by means of the ON button, the spreader always starts at level 1 with operating mode .
The spreader starts also at level 1 even if the control system has been switched off at level 2.
When switching off by means of the ON button, all drive units will be stopped and all connected consumers
will be switched off.

Menu
A menu consists of one or several menu lines. A further menu or a setup screen can be attached to a menu line.
Depending on the equipment of the spreader, individual menus may feature a lower number of menu items as
described here.

Choose menu line
Skip from one menu line to the next by turning the left turning knob . The menu line
highlighted in dark color is selected. By turning the turning knob clockwise, the menu line below will be selected; by
turning anti-clockwise, the menu line above will be selected. If a menu consists of more than 5 menu points, the whole
menu will be built up on several pages. It is possible to browse within the menu in blocks of a maximum of 5 pages. To
control where you are currently navigating, a small rectangle is shown on the right side that moves up or down
depending on the menu line.
Soft switch
There are menu lines offering a 0/1 possibility to select. In such cases, the respective menu line is equipped with a so-
called soft switch. The setting is limited to “ON” ( ) or “OFF” ( ). The current switching status of the soft
switch is displayed in the respective menu line for review. With the menu line selected, the alternative switching
status is displayed at button 5.
Setup screen
A setup screen may be attached to the menu line. A setup screen is split into three columns, whereby values must not
be stored in all three columns. Always use the turning knob below to change values within a column. The modified
values of the setup screens are adopted and stored immediately.
With a menu line selected, go to the setup screen by means of button 6 .
