Samsara supports integration with RexRoth spreader controllers. To set up the controller:
-
Ensure you have the correct RexRoth Telematics cable.
The telematics cable plugs in the AUX port on the bottom left of the Display Unit. If there isn’t a cable there, contact your RexRoth dealer to purchase one of the following RexRoth models:
-
R987400008 (recommended)
-
R987376776
-
-
Connect the Samsara Spreader cable to the RexRoth Telematics cable.
-
Cable serial number R987400008: Use a null adapter orange male to male serial adapter to connect the Samsara cable to the female side of the RexRoth Telematics cable. The other side of the Samsara cable plugs into the Samsara GPS unit.
-
