Near Intersection of I-35 & I-90 Southern Mn. | The above photo nicely shows the two choices. The CAN switch box is shown above. The loose Auxiliary Input module is shown below. Both are available at this time. The unmarked green connector on the Auxiliary Input module is connected to the non CAN switch box (looks like the other one), a single Ag Leader switch or a homemade switch box if you now the tricks involved.
You will need the Clutch Control Module for section control on a planter or drill. The output from the Clutch Control Module can control air valves for a Tru-Count system, SureVac's for a Deere Vac system or Ag Leader's row clutches. The output from the Clutch Control Module should not operate the Selectro units directly. The Clutch Control Module can have problems with other section clutches that require high current. For these high current situations, relays are generally used.
For manual control, their switch box is heavy enough to handle the situation. Their manual switchbox is connected directly to the battery and the manual switches are heavy enough to handle the electrical load. With a GPS automated system, the relay box is needed so the electrical load is carried by the battery and the trigger signals to activate the relays are connected to the module.
Several years ago I built one of those relay boxes for a situation like this. I don't think there was a relay box available at that time from Selectro. I believe things worked fine but the customer has moved on to a different planter now.
