SYSTEM INSTALLATION

A. CONSOLE

MOUNTING

The console should be mounted inside

the tractor cab in a location accessible to the operator but does not obstruct the

driving view.

Refer to Figure 2 for a typical console mounting using the U-bracket and

hardware. Install as follows:

STEP 1

Verify the rear side of the selected

mounting surface is free of wiring or

other obstructions and is accessible for inserting and tightening the mounting

bolts.

STEP 2

Use the U-shaped mounting bracket as a

template to mark the two outside holes of the bracket on the selected location and

drill two 9/32 inch ( 7 mm ) holes. An

alternate mounting method, which allows

the console to swivel, requires drilling the center bracket hole only.

STEP 3

Attach the mounting bracket to the

mounting surface using the ¼ - 20 x ½

inch bolts, lockwashers, flatwashers, and nuts.

STEP 4

Secure the console to the mounting

bracket using the two knob screws.

Insert the two rubber washers between the bracket and console.

STEP 5

Tilt console so that the J1 connector on

the rear of the console is accessible. Temporarily tighten the two knob screws.

Warning:

The console must not obstruct the view or interfere with the operation of the tractor.

B. CONSOLE

HARNESS INSTALLATION

The J1 connector on the back of the console connects all input and output

signals to the Seed Manager® SE

console.

The primary tractor harness is shown in

Figure 3. This harness contains connectors for a ground speed sensor (digital),

a ground speed sensor (reluctance),

system power, and P1 and P2 Bus connectors. A secondary module

harness is used to connect to P1 and/or

P2.

For systems that contain a J2 connector, a

separate accessory harness will contain a RS-232 connector for PC/GPS applica-

tions.

The following procedures describe installing the primary (J1) harness from

the rear of the console to the tractor

hitch:

STEP 1

Route the primary harness from J1 on

the console rear to the rear of the tractor, near the hitch. Route it on the

side of the tractor opposite the alternator

and spark plugs. Locate the harness to prevent being pinched, cut, or stepped

on and secure it with wire ties.

STEP 2

Install or connect an existing ground

speed sensor. The ground speed sensor

may be one of three types  radar, reluctance, or Hall Effect. A radar

sensor or reluctance sensor connects

directly to the designated connector on the primary harness. A Hall Effect

sensor may require an adapter harness

to connect to the primary harness.

Sensor mounting instructions accompany

the sensor. Select the mounting location

and install as the instructions describe.

STEP 3

Follow instructions to install Module and

Sensor Harnessing in Implement Harness section.

STEP 4

The power connections are made last to avoid accidental shorts during harness

installation.

The Seed Manager® SE System

operates on 12 volts DC only. The

battery connections on the primary

harness consist of two wires, each

terminated with a ring terminal.

Before making the battery connections,

determine the tractor battery arrange-

ment from Figures 4, 5, and 6, found on page 8. After the 12 volt source is

known, connect the black wire directly to

the negative (-) terminal of the battery. The red wire (containing the fuse link)

connects directly to the positive (+)

battery terminal. Make sure the connections are clean and tight. Do not route

these wires in close proximity to the

existing battery cables. Secure the battery wires with wire ties.

If your tractor battery arrangement

differs from those shown in Figures 4, 5, and 6, or if in any doubt exists about

how to connect to the battery, use a

voltmeter first. Verify 11 to 14 volts across the battery connection points. On

Tractors using two batteries, be sure to

make connections to the grounded battery.

Note: Due to the power requirements for the Seed Manager® SE system, the battery connections must be made directly to the tractor battery.

WARNING:

Before welding on the frame or chassis, be certain to disconnect battery leads.

C. IMPLEMENT

HARNESS / MODULES / SENSORS

The Seed Manager® SE system uses any

combination of three basic module types, each with their own specific harness

configurations. There are 12 Row

Material Flow Modules, 16 Row Material Flow Modules, and Shaft Speed

Modules. A single Bus cable connects to

each module, then serially (daisy chains) connects to following modules. The

primary harness divides into two halves

at the implement hitch (P1 and P2). The following requirements must be ob-

served when connecting modules to the

bus:

1. A maximum of six Material Flow

Modules can be connected to the bus.

3. No more than three Material Flow

Modules can be connected to P1 or P2.

4. Any combination of 12 Row or 16 Row

Material Flow Modules may be used.

The order in which the Material Flow

Modules are connected and their

position on the toolbar or implement is important to note. The Material Flow

Modules are identified by the console as

b1, b2, . . . bn (where n is the total number of Material Flow Modules

connected). The order in which the

console identifies the modules depends upon how they are connected to the bus.

The following figures show example

system configurations and how the Console identifies the modules connect-

ed for each configuration. Note order of

the modules in relation to how they connect to the bus.

Dj SEED MANAGER® SE PLANTER MONITOR

BENCHMARK Series® 11001-1218-200112 Rev A

2. Only one Shaft Speed Module may be

connected to the bus. The Shaft Speed

Module may be connected anywhere on the bus that is convenient. It can be

connected to either P1 or P2.

Follow the same examples on all Material Flow Modules used in the system. When

correctly connected, row 1 sensor should be connected to the Row 1 input on b1. The

monitor will then number the sensors from 1 to n starting on b1, then b2, and so on.

Hopper level sensors can be connected to 12 Row Material Flow Modules. Hopper

sensors can be connected to either of the hopper inputs on a Material Flow Module.

The monitor will identify the number of hopper sensors connected to each Material Flow Module and will number them from 1 to n starting with any sensors connected to

b1. If no sensors are connected to b1, the number starts from b2 and so on.. In the

event that two hopper sensors are connected to a given module, the sensor connected to input 1 is numbered before the sensor connected to input 2. The following shows

an example configuration with hopper sensors connected and how they would be

identified by the console.

OPERATOR'S MANUAL

When hopper level sensors are connected to a Shaft Speed Module, they are num-

bered relative to the position of the Shaft Speed Module on the bus. If the Shaft Speed Module is connected to the RS-485 Out of b1, the numbering of the hopper

sensors starts with this module, then continues with any hopper sensors connected to

b1, b2, etc. If the Shaft Speed Module is connected between Material Flow Modules, any hopper sensors connected are numbered in the order in which they are detected

as shown below.

Shaft, fan, and pressure sensors can only be connected to the Shaft Speed Module.

These sensors are identified by the monitor according to what input they are connected

to regardless of the position of the Shaft Speed Module on the bus.

Figure 6K shows a complete example system setup and how each connected sensor

would be identified.

Installation Steps

STEP 1

Mount each of the modules to the toolbar or implement from in a location that will minimize vibration and will allow for easy access to harness hookup.

STEP 2

Lay out each module harness along the frame of the implement to each of the seed rows (or appropriate sensors). Secure the harness to the toolbar.

STEP 3

Install and/or connect each of the seed sensors (or appropriate sensor). Sensor mounting instructions accompany the sensor. Select the mounting location and install

as described in the instructions.

CONSTANTS

The Setup Mode is used to enter the implement configuration constants,

which are listed in Figure 7, in the order

of their presentation. Depressing the Setup switch for one (1) second, places

the console in the Setup Mode, which is

identified by the SETUP message on the display. Additional messages uniquely

identify the constant displayed.

Each constant has a fixed number of

digits. Leading zeroes are displayed.

When it is desired to change the value of a constant, use the SELECT, SET, and

START STOP RESET switches as

follows:

Pressing START STOP RESET zeroes

the digit. Each depression of the SELECT switch makes the next digit to

the right the selected digit.

When the desired value is entered (or

there is no change from the original

value), press the Setup switch to store the value and advance to the next constant

on the list. To return to the previous

constant on the list, press the BACK switch. If a value is entered which

exceeds the minimum or maximum

shown for that constant in Figure 7, the alarm sounds for one (1) second, the

value of the exceeded limit appears on

the screen, and the advance to the next constant is aborted.

To perform the Distance Calibration:

STEP 1

Carefully measure a 400 foot (122 meter)

course, plainly marking the start and finish

points.

STEP 2

With the tractor moving between 2 and 5

MPH (3.2 and 8 Km/h), press the START STOP RESET switch when the tractor is

exactly even with the start marker. The

display showing the Distance Calibration constant zeroes, then counts the ground

speed pulses.

STEP 3

When the tractor is even with the finish

marker, press the START STOP RESET

switch.

STEP 4

To ensure best accuracy, perform this

procedure at least three (3) times. Record the count each time, then enter the average

as the Distance Calibration constant, using

the SELECT and SET switches.

7. Automatic Configuration

To begin the Automatic Configuration,

press the START STOP RESET switch.

The TEST message flashes while the

Automatic Configuration is running.

Configuration is complete when the TEST message disappears. The Automatic

Configuration will automatically detect how

many Seed Modules are connected to the system, how many Seed Sensors are

connected to each Module, how many

Hopper Sensors are connected in the system, and how many Pressure Sensors

are connected in the system. Note: Fan

Speed Sensors and Shaft Speed Sensors are not automatically configured and will

need to be setup manually by the user.

When Automatic Configuration is run, the number of seed modules, number of seed

sensors, number of hopper sensors, and

number of pressure sensors is configured to be whatever the results of Automatic

Configuration detects in the system. Verify

the detected configuration by reviewing the setup constants for the number of seed

modules, number of seed sensors,

12. Speed Area Mode

The Speed Area Mode is used to monitor non-seeding operations like cultivating.

Only the Speed, Fan Speed, Shaft Speed,

Pressure, Area, and Distance Accumulator functions are available in this mode.

Figure 41 shows this function availability

in chart form. The console display for these functions is identical in the Speed

Area and Operate Modes.

Enter the Speed Area Mode as follows:

A lift switch (Implement status switch) must

be connected to a Shaft Speed Module that is connected to the system. No seed

sensors can be connected at this time.

Power down, then power up the console (wait a minimum of 10 seconds before

re-powering the system).

ALARMS

Priority levels are assigned to the Seed

Manager® SE alarms as shown in Figure

54, with level one (1) being the highest. If two alarm conditions are detected at the

same time, only the higher priority alarm

is displayed. If they are the same level, both are displayed simultaneously.

NOTE: A Row Failure Alarm will

acknowledge the audible alarm only and will not clear the display. To clear a Row

Failure Alarm the condition must be

fixed, or the row must be turned OFF in SETUP MODE.

Unless indicated below, when an alarm

condition occurs, the console exits the current Operate Mode function to

display the alarm. It returns to that

Operate Mode function only after the alarm condition ceases or the ALARM

switch has been pressed to acknowledge

the alarm condition (except for a Row Failure Alarm).

A warning alarm is accompanied by a

beeping sound which lasting for a fixed

period or time, which is relative to its priority level. The higher the priority, the

1. All Rows Failed

This occurs at the end of each row when the implement is lifted from the ground.

The alarm sounds continuously for

three (3) seconds, the ROWS and FAILED messages appear, and the row

numbers are displayed sequentially. After

the alarm silences, the console reverts to the previous Operate Mode function.

2. Rows Failed

This occurs when two (2) seeds per

second or less are detected. The alarm sounds continuously and the row

number of the failed sensor appears

with the messages ROW and FAILED. If multiple rows fail, the numbers of the

failed rows are sequentially displayed at the rate of one per second. This alarm

can be acknowledged by pressing the

ALARM switch. This will silence the audible alarm, but the display will remain

until the condition ceases, or the user

enters the SETUP MODE Row Status and turns the faulty rows to the OFF

status. After the audible alarm is

acknowledged, the only functions that are

available are in the SETUP MODE (reference the SETUP MODE chapter

for more information).

3. Distance Sensor Failed

If seed flow is detected without a signal from the ground speed sensor and the

monitor is not in Seed Count function

for a duration of thirty (30) seconds, the alarm sounds continuously for five (5)

seconds and the console automatically

enters a mode to manually enter a ground speed value. A manual (simulated)

ground speed value, in MPH (Km/h),

appears on the display along with the SETUP, SPEED, and FAILED messages.

To continue in the Operate Mode

without a functioning ground speed

sensor, the operator must first enter a suitable manual ground speed value

using the SELECT and SET switches.

Figure 55 shows the above mentioned Setup display with a manual ground

speed of 5.3 MPH entered. The

operator next presses the desired Operate Mode switch to return to

seeding.

CAUTION: It is important to maintain

ground speed close to the manually entered value to ensure accurate

monitoring.

The console will continue to use this

manual ground speed until the console is next powered off, or the ground speed

sensor signal begins to function again.

The operator may continue seeding without repairing or replacing a damaged

ground speed sensor or cable. However,

the same alarm display will reappear each time power is applied to the

console, with the manual ground speed

value last entered being retained. Again, operation can continue by pressing the

switch for the desired Operate Mode.

When the ground speed sensor has

been properly repaired or replaced, normal operation will automatically

resume without having to deactivate the

LIMIT

manual ground speed. However, it is

very important to remember to immediately repeat the SETUP MODE

Distance Calibration before resuming

operation if a different ground speed sensor has been installed. Otherwise,

the previously determined Distance

Calibration Constant will be used, possibly resulting in ground speed

measurement errors which may not be

readily detected. Only, repairs to ground speed sensor cables, do not require

recalibration.

4. Population Hi Limit Warning

This occurs when any row population exceeds the value entered for Population

Hi Limit in the SETUP MODE. The

alarm beeps for four (4) seconds and the row number and actual population, in

thousands of seeds per acre (hectare),

are displayed. If multiple rows exceed the limit, the row numbers are displayed

sequentially, along with their respective

populations. Figure 56 shows a Population Hi Limit Warning on row four (4)

with a row population of 34,600 seeds

per acre.
