5460 Hitch Calibration

This document provides instructions for calibrating the rear linkage on a tractor. It describes adjusting the position sensor gap and orientation. It then outlines a procedure to calibrate the linkage by defining the high and low stops, measuring sensor signals for precision, and measuring solenoid valve currents. The calibration process takes about 1 minute and involves setting various potentiometers and pressing a switch multiple times. The calibration is validated by checking the linkage's range of motion and sensor sensitivity.

AUTOTRONIC 5 - Linkage - Calibration and adjustments

A . Adjusting the position sensor


20 mm
For correct linkage calibration, ensure that the position 0.79 in
sensor is assembled properly. Calibration is the only
way to obtain precise linkage positioning.

GPA20 assembly:
A gap of 20mm (approx.) must be left between the
sensor body and the locknut (Fig. 1).

HA assembly:
Position the mark on the rotating shaft on the same
side as the connector (arrow Fig. 2)
Tighten the sensor approximately in the centre of the
ports (Fig. 2). MA-11-01348A

Fig. 1
After adjusting, the linkage must be calibrated (see §
B).

AUTOTRONIC 5 - Linkage - Calibration and adjustments

B . Calibrating the linkage


The linkage must be calibrated after changing:
- a linkage solenoid valve
- the position sensor
- the linkage height / depth setting potentiometer
- the Autotronic 5 or soft type (e.g.: PowerShuttle to
Linkage).

The purpose of this calibration is:


- to define the high and low stops of the linkage for
optimum use of the linkage travel
- to measure sensor signals to obtain maximum
linkage position precision according to the setting
potentiometer
- to measure the solenoid valve starter currents that
start to move the linkage.

NOTE: DUAL CONTROL calibration is explained in the


Datatronic 3 description of the Workshop Service
Manual.

Preliminary operations
- Hitch a weight of 200 kg (440 lbs) approx. to the
linkage.
- Ensure that with the hitch, the linkage can move
through its whole operating range, between its high
and low stops.
- Position the tractor where the linkage can operate
freely, and ensure that no one can enter the area of
linkage travel throughout the calibration process.

GUF524.4 Wintest - Issue 6.a


AUTOTRONIC 5 - Linkage - Calibration and adjustments

Preocedure to follow:
1. Set the tractor engine to idle speed.
2. Position the height / depth setting potentiometer
between positions 3 and 4 (Fig. 3)
3. Set the switch (Fig. 3) to linkage lowering position
(work position)
4. Set the 3 linkage console potentiometers in posi-
tion (Fig. 4, depending on the console type):
- maximum high stop (A)
- pure position sensor (B)
- maximum automatic lowering speed (C)
5. Press the Shock Absorber switch (D) 4 times in
quick succession.
The indicator light (Led) (E) starts to flash (Fig. 4).
Calibration takes 1 minute approximately.
6. When calibration is complete, the indicator light MA-11-01437A
Fig. 3
stops flashing and the linkage locks.
NOTE: To exit the calibration process at any time,
press the Shock Absorber switch or the Lifting /
Lowering / Neutral switch. In this case, the system
uses the previously memorised parameters, or the
default parameters in the case of a new Autotronic 5 A
unit.

DANGER: Ensure that no one can enter the 3 4 C


area of linkage travel throughout the calibration
process!
A
Validation:
D
- Check maximum linkage travel using the cab D
controls
• high position E
MA-11-01349A Fig. 4
• low position; the lowering indicator light should
stay on throughout
- Check the sensitivity of the linkage height / depth
setting potentiometer.
- Set the linkage to transport position, then engage
the Shock Absorber and ensure that the linkage
lowers slightly (the lowering indicator light should
come on).
- Check the external controls and ensure that the
lifting switch raises the linkage to its mechanical stop
(hydraulic pump throttling sound).
NOTE: If the calibration appears to be incorrect (impos-
sible to change position), reset the linkage by pressing
the Shock Absorber switch 5 times in quick succes-
sion. In this case the calculator uses the default values.
A new calibration procedure must then be started.
