Page 4: Control Box Controls And Connections
EG Series Control Box Controls (fig 1) 1) LED Grade Display - These LED’s display whether you are above grade, below grade or on grade. The full 3 red or yellow LED arrows tell the user which direction the blade must move to achieve on grade, while the single up or down LED will flash when the receiver is within 10mm (0.39”) of the desired on grade. - Page 5 7) LCD Display - This LCD displays system Information for the operator, like real time receiver ongrade offset and auto / manual control settings. This display is also used for menu settings while configuring the system at installation. 8. On-grade Offset - Controls the offset of the receiver’s on-grade. If you wanted to adjust the on- grade setting by 54mm, you would do it with this control knob.

Horn - Sets the function of the internal beeper (Off, Alert, H o r n Indicate). The Alert function has not been implemented at this time. Setting the Indicate mode will sound a detector style Next indication to the receiver position to on-grade. A double beep when too high, a single beep when too low and a solid beep when on grade while the system is in Automatic. - Page 8 Valve Types - EG Series can control Proportional Time (‘bang- bang’) valves, electric actuators up to 6 amps, proportional valves with ratio-metric integrated electronics (Danfoss) and proportional current (variable flow) valves, 50 Hz., 100 Hz., and 200 Hz.; Consult the valve manufacturer to find the proper type Output Drive Types and dither frequency for your variable flow valve.
- Page 9 Valve Gain - The span of error between the onset of valve op- eration and the point at which the valve is fully on is determined Va l v e g a in by the valve gain setting. In this case, the units displayed (per- Next centage) are arbitrary, but higher numbers suggest more vigor- ous valve action.

Page 14: Danfoss Valve Setup
Danfoss/SCV Valve For electrohydraulic Selective Control Valves (SCV), use the Dan- foss settings during setup. The SCV uses a reference voltage from the tractor, whereas Danfoss uses a reference from the valve power circuit. A special SCV valve cable is required for this functionality. Danfoss Ratio-Metric - when this mode is selected, EG Series sets up the internal Valve Circuit to generate the proper signals Va l v e... - Page 15 Valve Gain - The span of error between the onset of valve operation and the point at which the valve is fully open is deter- Va l v e ga in mined by the valve gain setting. In this case, the units dis- Next played (percentage) are arbitrary, but higher numbers suggest more vigorous valve action.

Prop Curr Valve Setup Proportional Current mode, the EG Series valve output is a Va l v e ty p e 5 0 H z pulse-width-modulated, high current output; the output voltage Prop Curr Next will, during the valve on time, be equal to the DC input supply. Refer to the wiring diagram for the proper wire connections. - Page 17 CAUTION: THE FOLLOWING ITEMS WILL OPERATE THE VALVE DRIVE. BE CAREFUL WITH THEIR USE! MAKE SURE YOUR AREA IS CLEAR.
