Notes

MT-3405D Dual Loop Controller Overview
The MT-3405D can control two separate systems, or “control loops”.
EACH SYSTEM HAS
• A flowmeter input, servo control output, and boom section control outputs.
• Three independent sets of volume and area counters and its own tank volume counter.
• An APPLICATION RATE display, warning light, INCREASE/DECREASE keys, and toggle switch to select AUTOmatic or MANual
control mode.
NOTE: Throughout this manual the terms “Controller”, “Loop” and “Channel” are used interchangeably to describe which
of the two systems is being discussed. In some cases, you will see “Ch1” and “Ch2” used as an abbreviation.
The MT-3405D system is designed to work with all optional subsystems provided by Micro-Trak®:
• NH3 kits
• EPD kits (electric motor/pump driver modules)
• Hydraulic drive kits
• 2-wire (reversing) ball valve interface kits
Any of these can be used on either Channel 1 or Channel 2 with the appropriate interface kit.

MT-3405D Dual Loop Controller Overview (cont)
The MT-3405D is designed for flexibility and ease of use.
It can be configured in one of three primary operating
modes:
• NORMAL • INJECTION • PARALLEL
The two Controllers operate completely independent except
if Controller 1 is placed in MASTER HOLD (or if the optional
Remote HOLD is used) then both Controllers turn their
Booms off. The NORMAL mode is intended to be used in
cases where Controller 2 is a system with a single fixed width,
such as an NH3 rig or single section sprayer.
•Typical application, Herbicide in Controller 1 and NH3 in
Controller 2
•Each Controller has separate and independent Width Cal
factors
•Each Controller has separate and independent boom
section switches (Ch1) or single switch (Ch2 - uses Auto-
Man/Off)
1. NORMAL MODE:

In INJection mode, both systems share the Controller 1 boom
section switches. Both loops use the status of boom section
switches 1 through 5 to control their respective application
rates per the active width.
•Typical application, the chemical in controller 2 is injected
into Controller 1 flow (carrier) and applied via Controller 1
Booms. Controller 2 is controlling a product that is being
“injected” into or added to the carrier
•The section widths are set in calibration of Controller 1
and they are the same for Controller 2
•Controller 2 Swath is determined by Controller 1 Boom
Switches
•Placing controller 2 in OFF (toggle switch) turns the
Injection chemical off
•‘MASTER HOLD’ turns both controllers off
2. INJECTION MODE:
Controller 2 “injects” into Controller 1 and uses Controller 1
boom section switches, section widths, and section valves.

A special adapter kit (Shown in Appendix K) allows the console
to use two banks of section valves. The valves are controlled in
Pairs by the Ch1 section switches 1 thru 5.
For example, turning the console boom switch 1 ‘ON’, turns on
both the Ch1 Boom 1 valve, and the Ch2 Boom 1 valve. Either
bank of section valves can be independently disabled using the
appropriate switch.
• Typical application, two banks of (up to 5) boom sections
controlled by one set of Boom switches to apply two
chemicals in the same area.
• The section widths for Controller 1 and Controller 2 are the
same, set in Controller 1 calibration.
• Controller 2 Swath is determined by Controller 1 Boom
Switches.
• Master Hold toggle switch turns both Controllers off (all
boom sections) and both display “Hold”.
• Setting Ch1 (auxiliary switch) OFF, turns all Ch1 boom
sections off, while the Ch2 sections remain active.
• Setting Ch2 (Auto/Man/Off switch) OFF, turns all Ch2
booms section off, while the Ch1 sections remain active.

Select a mounting location which seems most workable, and
that best fits your needs. It should be convenient to reach
and highly visible to the operator. DO NOT INSTALL IN A
POSITION THAT OBSTRUCTS THE VIEW OF THE ROAD
OR WORK AREA. Whenever possible, avoid locations that
expose the console to direct sunlight, high temperature,
strong chemicals or rain.
Place the mounting bracket in the selected location, mark
holes, drill 1/4” (7mm) holes and mount bracket with bolts,
lockwashers and nuts provided. (If bolts are not practical, use
self-tapping screws.) See Illustration to the right.
Insert the console in the “U” bracket and install the console
knobs through the bracket, placing a rubber washer over the
threaded stud. Position console to proper viewing angle and
tighten the knobs securely.
Electrical Installation
The MT-3405D must be connected to a 12-volt DC
electrical system. Power is connected directly to the battery.
The MT-3405D has an ON/OFF switch on the console to turn
the power off when the system is not being used.
Locate the power cable harness and connect to the mating
connector on the console. Connect the blue chassis ground
wire to a good frame ground. See Illustration to the right.
Make sure there is good metal-to-metal contact. Route the
power cable from the console to the battery. Cut off excess
length. In routing cable to battery, avoid areas where the
cable may be subjected to abrasion or excessive heat.
Install the in-line fuse provided with the kit on the white
wire, as illustrated, to protect the circuit.
Connect the ORANGE wire (hot) to the positive battery
terminal. Attach the BLACK wire (ground) to a screw or bolt
on the equipment frame. See Illustration to the right. Be
sure there is good metal-to-metal contact.
Your MT-3405D is equipped with a non-volatile electronic
memory which does not require a constant supply of
power to retain daily totals or calibration values. The
advantage with this type of memory is that it conserves
battery power and will not discharge the vehicle’s battery
when equipment is not in use.

Magnets
Please read the following information about magnet spacing
and polarity.
The number of magnets that must be used depends on
the size of your tire and where you mount the sensor. On
tractor or implement wheels the general rule of thumb is one
magnet for each wheel bolt (minimum of two, and always an
even number). For drive shafts or small wheels (ATV’s), two
magnets are usually adequate.
Some installations may require that more than two magnets
be installed. To determine the number of magnets required,
measure the distance traveled of one revolution of the
sensor equipped wheel in inches (centimeters).
See the following tables to find the minimum number of
magnets required (always an even number)
Installation (cont)
Speed Sensor Installation
Installation Note: The console provides one connection point
for the speed sensor. A 15 ft. extension cable is provided.
For speed sensor installations on implements, add 3-pin
extension cables as required.
Please Note: If you have purchased an Astro II GPS speed
sensor, Vansco radar or other radar or GPS speed sensor,
disregard the following section on magnetic speed sensors
and install the speed sensor as described in the instructions
included with the unit. You may need an adapter cable to
connect to radar or GPS Speed Sensor, see Appendix H.
Locations where the sensor may be installed:
1. Non-driven wheel on tractor, vehicle or implement. This is
less susceptible to errors resulting from wheel slip.
Locate the following parts:
•Speed sensor cable (Green body)
•Mounting “L” bracket
•Magnets
•Cable ties
2. Tractor, vehicle or planter drive shaft. This type of
mounting is recommended for trucks, four-wheel drive
tractors or other equipment that has poor or no access to
a non-driven wheel. See Appendix A for magnetic speed
sensor installation details for various types of wheels or
drive shaft.
The magnets provided by Micro-Trak are marked with a
punched dashed line on the SOUTH pole side of the magnet.
See Illustration below.
Always use an even number of magnets, and always alternate
the polarities of the magnets as you go around the wheel
hub or drive shaft.
To install, mount the first magnet with the SOUTH pole side
(dashed line) facing toward the hub or shaft. Mount the
second magnet with the NORTH pole side facing toward the
hub or shaft. See Illustration below.
For proper operation, the magnets must be evenly spaced
around the wheel or drive shaft. The magnets must be at
least 1” apart. See Illustration below.
NOTE: Magnets may be attached mechanically or adhered
with epoxy or other high quality adhesive. When using
adhesive, thoroughly clean the area of dirt and oil.

The magnets are attached to a wheel hub or drive shaft and
the speed sensor is mounted directly over the magnet. When
the wheel or drive shaft begins turning, a speed impulse is
sent to the MT-3405D console every time a magnet passes by
the tip of the speed sensor. For the speed sensor to operate
properly, the spacing between the magnets and the tip of
the sensor must always remain constant. Before permanently
mounting any parts, be sure that the location you have
selected will meet the requirements shown in Illustration to
the right.
NOTE: Observe magnet polarities (see previous section).

Connecting the Speed Sensor Cable
The speed sensor cable has a GREEN sensor body and mates
with the 3-pin connector which is marked with a yellow cable
tie. The speed sensor and the flow sensor are identical, but
must be connected to the proper harness connector. The
speed sensor always connects to the 3-pin M/P connector
with the YELLOW tie and flow sensor always connects to the
3-pin M/P connector with the GREEN tie. See MT-3405D
Wiring Diagrams on pages 12 and 14.
The optional Run/hold sensor, also uses the same type of
connector as the speed and flow sensors. However, the Run/
hold sensor has a GRAY tie near the 3-pin connector, the
sensor body is BLACK, and it always connects to the main
harness lead with the GRAY tie. See MT-3405D Wiring
Diagrams on pages 12 and 14.
* See Appendix L for required adapter if using the remote
speed connection on the Ch2 harness.

Speed Sensor Options
In addition to the standard Hall-effect magnetic speed
sensor, the MT-3405D may be interfaced with a variety of
other speed sensing equipment. Several options are listed
below.
Astro Series or Other GPS Speed Sensor Interfaces
The MT-3405D may also be used with most GPS speed
sensors that output a pulsed signal, such as the Micro-Trak
Astro II and 5, SkyTrak or Dickey-John GPS speed sensors. An
adapter cable may be required.
Vansco™ Radar Speed Sensor
The Vansco radar speed sensor uses a microwave (radar)
signal to deliver a reliable, accurate speed signal for electronic
equipment. It features state-of-the-art electronic design/
manufacturing, rugged aluminum housing and complete
testing and certification.
Radar Interface
The MT-3405D may also be interfaced with most popular
radar ground speed sensors. An adapter cable is required for
proper interface.

This could be done nearer the console by connecting one
switch terminal to ground, and the other switch terminal
to the gray wire on the 10-pin connector on the back of the
console.
NOTE: If using the Micro-Trak Hall-Effect Run/Hold Sensor,
order the #01535 Sensor Kit PLUS a #14793 Adapter Cable.
(See illustration below.) When using the sensor kit, mount so
that when the sensor is near the magnet (magnet side with
dashed line must face the sensor) the system is in HOLD
and when the sensor is away from the magnet the system
is in RUN.
*The remote run/hold input is only available on the Ch1
wiring harness.
