Hall Effect Sensor

A - Potentiometer

B - Hall Effect Sensor

As steering control cylinder extends or retracts, signal from potentiometer changes to reflect position of implement steering mechanism. This signal is feedback for guidance system and steering sensitivities, and is used to control steering mechanism.

NOTE: Some implement steering devices have a wheel sensor incorporated into equipment.

Wheel angle sensor must be a 0—5 V analog sensor.

Mount and calibrate wheel angle sensor so its range of motion is aligned and symmetrical. Failure to mount sensor properly results in poor performance.

Verify hydraulic and mechanical steering linkage is properly adjusted per manufacturer's specifications. Refer to steering system Operator’s Manual for specific steering system.

Install Requirements

For best performance, install wheel angle sensor to get the greatest amount of voltage range. Left, right, and center should be linear and equidistant.
