Subject: Proper wiring for speed input on JD 350 CompuTrak?



Chebanse, IL.....

Is anyone familiar with the "speed input" wiring on a JD Compu-Trak 350? We use one for a replant planter & want to put it in a different tractor this year. In the past, we've had it in a non-gps equipped tractor so it had a "puck" gps receiver that Shoup sells attached to the cab roof. This year it'll be going in a 7280R. This tractor has the speed output accessible by a port on the RH instrument cluster (vertical post).

In the 2nd photo below you see a 3-wire "weatherpak" connector to the right. That wire originates from the 350. On the left side of photo 2, you see the multi-pin plug on a cable that JD sells to send speed info to a monitor from the RH vertical post. Even though that connector has about 9 pins in it, there are only 2 wires in the bundle. As you can see, they are the the red & the black wires with the bare ends.

The 350 monitor speed input has 3 wires you can see labelled speed input. A red, a black, and a green. So....would you guess the red/black wires should mate up & there is no use for that green wire going into the 350? I will be putting a weatherpak connector on those wires, just want to make sure of my wiring.

Thanks

Pin 1 is the true ground speed (radar/GPS) signal from the tractor 7-pin Amphenol connector. Normally this would connect directly to the green signal wire in the 4-pin AMP connector on the CT350 (weatherpak connector is not stock). If either red or black is connected to pin 1, you should be in business.

Near Intersection of I-35 & I-90 Southern Mn.
On the 350 end, the red wire is 12V OUT to provide power for a real radar gun or hockey puck GPS that is not powered by some other means. The black wire is ground OUT for both a standalone radar gun or hockey puck and signal ground. The green wire is the radar signal IN from a radar gun or hockey puck.

Originally these wires went to a four pole AMP connector. Pin 1 was black or ground, Pin 2 was green or signal and Pin 3 was red or 12V. The fourth pin was sometimes used by certain monitors (not the 350) to inform them that a radar gun was actually present. This fourth pin was just the 12V from Pin 3 going to the radar gun but then making a loop and returning. Those monitors that used that trick then watched for 12V returning on Pin 4 to determine whether a radar gun was actually present.

In you stub cable to the tractor cornerpost, you have only a black and red wire. The radar or GPS on the tractor is already powered by the original tractor harness so the red wire from the 350 is not needed.

Decide which wire is going to Pin 1 of the cornerpost connector, that wire (likely red) will go to the green wire of the 350. The other wire will go to the remaining wire. The red wire on the 350 end will not be going anywhere. Since it will be 12V when the 350 is turned ON, it should be capped to prevent a stray short.

Thank you Ted & UNL84 (?)

Ted, you've provided so much information to me & others thru the years here on NAT. I want you to know it IS appreciated, as always.

I'll double check the pin-out #1 on the wire from the cab corner post & hook the weatherpacks together accordingly. I'll use Weatherpack plug in the non-use 12V line also.

Thanks again.

Thanks. It would seem that using a 3 pole WeatherPak Shroud on the corner post cable with the extra "hole" plugged with a dust plug should do the trick. Again the red on the monitor side will not be used.
