zapi wire guidance is very reliable and accurate when set up correctly . usually let down by feedback pot misalignment and damage to aerials . nothing major .

ok damo . system i know is on hyster vna trucks . i think they have used it for 7 or 8 years . feedback pot on them tells controller when steer wheel is straight and compares it to signal picked up from wire via the aerials . if pot is not set right it the controller fights to keep truck straight and jumps off line . i recon your proximity switch must work the same .
