Description of Machine

The Duncan Renovator TFD is an S-tine drill with narrow points. The box is mounted on a robust frame accommodating large diameter tyres. The ground engaging components are controlled by a hydraulic ram system, giving ample control on ground pressure, good transport clearance and contour following ability. Sowing depth is controlled by adjusting the hydraulic rams. Optionally, the angle of the points are adjustable via rotating tool bars for optimum ground following and penetration. The quality European type peg roller seeder system handles all seeds from turnip and rape through to peas and maize. The seeder drive is electric via a reduction gearbox to the seeder shaft. Ground speed is sensed via ground radar with seed rates controlled proportionally to ground speed. Seeding ceases automatically when the machine is raised into the transport position.

Working Principle

The seeder drive, pegged seed rollers and seeder flaps are set to give the desired seed rate. The S-tine and narrow point, create the seed bed. Seed flows down the flexible tubes between seeder and boot units, and drops into the prepared seed bed.

SAFETY - General (Continued)

Appropriate Dress

Wear close fitting clothing and avoid rings or other forms of jewellery which could become caught in the machinery.

People with long hair must have it securely fixed and confined close to the head.

Refer to local safety standards for protective clothing and recommended safety equipment.

Adequate protection, such as a face mask, should be worn if operating this machine in dry and dusty conditions.

Transport This Machine Safely

Ensure that all linkage pins and security clips are fitted correctly. With trailing machines tow with the drawbar only, as this is the only safe towing point on the machine.

Always check that bystanders (especially children) are well clear (front and rear) before starting and moving the tractor and the machine.

Plan safe routes of travel, and be aware of power lines and other roadside hazards. Take particular care when towing implements on hillsides.

Do not ride or allow passengers on the machine.

This machine is not designed to carry passengers, and no riders are permitted.

Road transport

On public roads,

• A speed of 40km/h must not be exceeded.

• Do not operate during the hours of darkness unless standard lights are fitted and clearly visible. (This also applies when visibility is limited, e.g., in foggy conditions.)

See the guidelines in the Vehicle Dimensions and Mass Rule,

issued by the Land & Transport Safety Authority.

Avoid tip-overs

Avoid holes, ditches and obstructions which may cause the machine to tip over, especially on hillsides. Never drive near the edge of a gully or steep embankment - it might cave in. Slow down for hillsides, rough ground and sharp turns.

SAFETY - General (Continued)

Handle Agricultural Chemicals Safely

All farm chemicals should be stored, used, handled and disposed of safely and in accordance with the supplier’s/ manufacturer’s recommendations.

Read the product label before using, noting any warnings or special cautions, including any protective clothing or equipment that may be required, ie. respirator.

Do not eat or smoke while handling sprays, fertilisers, coated seeds, etc. Afterwards, always wash your hands and face before you eat, drink, smoke, or use the toilet.

Store sprays, fertilisers, coated seeds, etc. out of reach of children and pets, and away from food and animal feeds.

Any symptoms of illness during or after using chemicals should be treated according to the supplier’s/manufacturer’s

recommendations. If severe, call a physician or get the patient to hospital immediately. Keep the container and/or

label for reference.

Avoid High Pressure Fluids

Avoid any contact with fluids leaking under pressure, because the fluids can penetrate the skin surface.

Any fluid which penetrates the skin, will need to be removed immediately by a medical expert. Seek specialist advice on

this type of injury.

Relieve the pressure before disconnecting any hydraulic or other lines. Make all repairs and tighten all fittings before re-connection to pressurised fluid.

Keep your hands and body away from any pinholes or high pressure jets. Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard instead of using your hand directly.

Safe Work Practices

All farm machinery is potentially dangerous and should be treated with caution and respect.

Before starting the machine, ensure that all controls are placed in neutral and that bystanders are well clear. Check that the guards have been securely fitted and that any adjustments have been made correctly.

Where possible, disconnect or isolate the drive mechanism to the implement. Lower the machine onto the ground when not in use. Do not operate this equipment when severe weather conditions appear imminent.

Transport

1 Raise the drill into the transport position and hold at the full

extent of the rams for a few seconds to allow cylinders to equalise.

Important - To avoid machine damage due to drill

lowering during transport, always close the hydraulic valve at the quick release coupling. Move the handle to a position at 90

to the hydraulic line

Maximum towing speed 40 km/hr.

For countries other than New Zealand greater speed

restrictions may apply, please refer to your local transport authority.

Ensure towing vehicle requirements are adequate

for the towed vehicle e.g. mass, brakes. Refer to recommendations published by the local Land Transport Authority or equivalent.

Braking when towing can cause the load to jackknife. Use

extra care when towing in adverse conditions such as mud, inclines and sharp bends.

Lower towing speeds are recommmended on farm roads/

tracks and where one wheel is on or over a road verge.

Operation

General Operation Guidelines

1 Use a sufficiently powerful tractor which is heavy enough to tow the drill safely.

2 Operate the drill at a speed of 6-12 km/hr (4-8 mph).

In stony and uneven ground conditions a lower speed is more appropriate

3 Check that the drill is level during calibration and while seeding.

4 Check tyre pressure before seeding. Refer page 5.

5 Double check seed rates before seeding.

6 Raise the drill out of the ground when making any turns.

7 Raise the drill out of the ground before backing up.

8 Stretched sagging hoses disrupt seed flow. Slight tension may be restored by carefully shortening

the affected hose; remove from the tube at ground level and cut accordingly.

Care must be taken not to shorten too much as the tension will pull the hose from the ground tube

or damage the plastic metering funnel.

9 After prolonged storage, check to see that all drive mechanisms and hydraulic equipment are functioning

correctly. Check that the seed/fertilizer tubes are not perished or blocked.

Sowing Speed

Typical travel speeds when sowing range from 6-12 km/hr in good conditions. In stony and uneven ground conditions a lower speed is recommended to minimise rapid part deterioration. Sowing too fast can result in:

1 Poor contour following and uneven sowing depth. 2 Impact damage to:

a Ground engaging components. b Bearings, housings & axles. c Fasteners & structural components. 3 More extreme conditions will result in greater vibration

and uneven seed flow at low seeding rates.

Sowing Depth Control

The sowing depth is dependent on:

1 The wheel height in relation to the chassis 2 Tyre pressure 3 Ground condition i.e. hard or soft

The wheel height in relation to the chassis is controlled using the threaded depth adjustment collar (1) on the left hand wheel leg ram. The rams are phasing and the left hand ram controls the overall depth. The threaded collar on the right hand ram can be adjusted to take up the clearance on this side. In this way, in the event of hydraulic failure the preset depth is maintained. Caution: Do not over-extend the thread depth adjustment. Clip on depth stop collars may be added to both sides if more control is required.

‘Renovator TFD’ Operation

Page 18

Magnetic Cut-out Sensor

To enable seeding to start and when the machine is

lowered into and lifted out of the ground, a magnetic sensor is fitted on the RH wheel leg hydraulic ram. The sensor position may be adjusted to suit the ground and

sowing conditions.

Level Drill

Use the drawbar turnbuckle to tilt the drill so it is sitting

level. Ensure that the front and rear rows are at an even depth.

Transport Position

When in the transport position the hydraulic cylinders are

fully extended.

‘Renovator TFD’ Read Before Calibration

Components Referred to in the Pre-Calibration Setup and Calibration Process

The following pages describe how to set the machine up for calibration, the calibration process and subsequent adjustments to obtain the desired seed and/or fertilizer output. Terms and words used in those instructions are shown below:-

‘Left’ and ‘Right’ on the machine are with respect to the direction of forward travel.

Shutter Slides

The varying flow properties of seeds require different shutter slide positions which may be found in the Sowing Chart for the individual type of seed or fertilizer. This corresponds to one of

the three settings as shown.

Bottom Flap Settings

The various seed sizes require matching bottom flap clearances below the metering wheel. The adjusting plate allows for 10 different settings. The required position for the seed type may be found in the Sowing Chart. The control levers are located on the LH end of the seedbox, (opposite end to the electric motors).

Number “1” corresponds to the minimum (closed) position and “10” the maximum gap.

A B C

Closed 3/4 Open Fully Open

Metering Wheel - Sowing Fine Seeds

For sowing fine seeds the Renovator TFD is equipped as standard with a combined normal and fine seed

“Elite” metering wheel, 1. During grain sowing and other larger varieties of seed both the normal and fine seed metering wheels are coupled and both rotate.

In order to convert the seed drill to sow fine seed, rotate the box shaft clockwise until the holes

of the fine seed wheel, 2, are visible. This is achieved by pressing and releasing the priming switch thus instructing the electric motors to rotate the seed shaft. By trial and error the holes can be located.

Using the tool supplied, 3, disengage the the pin inside the hole so that the normal metering wheel rotates freely on the metering shaft. At this time it would be advisable to close any shutter slides not required for the fine seed sowing. When seed is to be sown again using the normal metering wheel press the pin, from the normal metering wheel side (opposite direction to before), using the tool, back into the hole of the fine seed wheel thus reconnecting the drive between the two.

Priming Switch Operation

The priming switches are located on the left hand end of the dualbox. There is one switch per box. Priming switches are used to start the calibration process. Pressing the button for about 1 second then releasing will start the appropriate seeder shaft. Pressing the button again for about 1 second will stop the rotation. Whilst this is mainly used for calibration it is also useful for priming the seeder units and testing motor operation. The Main Operating Screen will change to calibration mode when the Priming Switches are pressed. The operator can exit this mode without affecting any settings. More information and operating screen pictures are shown in the calibration section.

Power On Routine

Note: The machine must be up in the Transport Position for the ‘Power On Routine’ to work. When the instrument is first turned on the instrument will enter a short routine to remind the operator of the previous setup. The set up can be changed and then accepted by pressing the ENTER key or alternatively, the routine can be skipped by pressing the MAIN button (Key A).

The first screen on start up is the BIN SETUP screen. This screen advises the operator which products are defined to which bin. On the screen format shown below the operator can use the ‘PRODUCT LIST’ keys to cycle through the list of products. The application rate saved against that product will also be shown. The letter shown in the graphic will also change to reflect the product selected.

‘PROD SETUP’‘BIN CONTENTS’

Startup Screen Display Features

The ‘BIN CONTENTS’ button enables the operator to program the contents of the bin. The ‘NOW’ value refers to the calculated current contents of the bin based on the work done. This value can be changed directly by selecting ‘NOW’ and using the key pad and pressing enter. Alternatively, when a specific amount of product is being added to the bin, select ‘TO ADD’ and use the key pad and press enter to add to the ‘NOW’ total. Pressing the ‘ESC’ (escape) key returns to the previous ‘INFO’ screen.

The ‘PROD SETUP’ screen allows the operator to change the details of the products in the directory. There is a directory of 16 products and against each of these 4 factors are recorded. These factors are target rate, step size, alarm weight and calibration factor. Note: the calibration factor is calculated by the machine during the calibration process. The only reason to alter this setting manually is when the user enters wrong information during the calibration process which can stop the motors from working. A list of default Cal Factors are shown in the calibration section.

Calibration Procedures

The calibration test should be done to confirm the settings of the required seed rate and is done with the drill stationary and level. Please ensure that you have read the previous section.

1 Power On the console. 2 You will be presented with the BIN SETUP screen. Make any changes to product or target sowing

rates now.

3 Prepare a suitable area for weighing and setup the scales. Tare the scales with the same container

that will be used to weight the product. Scales must be accurate to 2 grams

4 Refer to the sowing chart (page 28) for the chosen product. Set the Shutter Slides, Bottom Flaps and

Metering Wheels in accordance with the sowing chart.

5 Remove the calibration trays from the bracket on the seedbox. Place the trays on the calibration tray

brackets on the seedbox.

6 Push down all the clear plastic seed directors to redirect seed into the calibration trays. 7 For the calibration check, half fill the appropriate box with product. If this is not possible, make sure

the product is evenly distributed over all the seeder units in the box.

8 The calibration process can be in initiated in two ways:

(i) By pressing the appropriate ‘PRIMING SWITCH’

(ii) Via the SETUP menu.

Each of these methods are described in the next few pages.

The PRIMING SWITCH method is easier and more convenient.

(i) Calibration via PRIMING SWITCH (recommended)

1 Press and hold the appropriate ‘PRIMING SWITCH’ for 1

second then release.

2 The Operating Screen will change as shown. It is likely the

operator will be standing near the priming switches at this time so will not see the display. It is only after weighing the dispensed product that the operator need visit the tractor cab.

If the operator presses ‘STOP’ the calibration will be cancelled;

no seting will be altered. This may occur if the priming switch is pressed to just prime the seeder units or test the motor drive.

‘Renovator TFD’ Calibration

Calibration via PRIMING SWITCH (continued)

3 The appropriate metering unit will run until the PRIMING

SWITCH is pressed again. Product is collected in this time. The operator is in control of the amount of product metered out so is able to stop the metering unit when the calibration trays are at a suitable fill level.

4 Weigh the contents of the calibration trays. Write down

the amount exactly as displayed. Do not round up or

round down the value measured. Scales must be

accurate to 2 grams.

5 Enter the recorded value into the Operating Screen as

shown. Press ‘ENTER’ to confirm as requested.

Always use consistant units of measure ie grams or

Kilograms.

6 Press ‘ENTER’ again. The instrument will then calculate

the settings in order to correctly deliver the product. The ‘error’ value is only the difference between the new and old settings. Subsequent recalibrations with the same product will only report small differences.

7 Press ‘ENTER’ again to confirm and store the new

settings.

8 Repeat the calibration process. In this case, the ‘Error’

reported will be very small if any. Remember to press

the ‘ENTER’ key to accept the settings. This repeat

calibration is especially important if the metering units have been adjusted from very different values since the last time the machine was used.

9 NOTE: If, when presing the priming switch the motors

do not turn but there are no other errors, it could be that the previous calibration was wrongly entered. The metering speed is out of the range of the motor speed.

This can be corrected by manually entering a ‘calibration

factor’ as follows:

(i) Press the ‘INFO’ menu key.

(ii) Select the appropriate bin.

(iii) Press the ‘SETUP’ key.

(iv) Use the up down arrows to select the ‘Cal. factor’

line.

(v) Type 0.500 and hit the ‘ENTER’ key. (You need to

enter the leading zero as the machine will not accept the ‘.’ as a first character.) Note that although the default calibration factor for Grass is 0.28 kg/rev resetting to

0.500kg per rev gets the machine working again for re-calibration.

(vi) Hit the ‘ESC’ key to return to the ‘SETUP’ menu or

hit the ‘MAIN’ key to return to the ‘MAIN’ menu.

(vii) Repeat the calibration process from step 1.

Page 28

(ii) Calibration via ‘SETUP’ MENU

1 Ensure that steps 1 to 8 on page 22 have been carried

out prior to actual calibration.

2 Navigate to the ‘MENU’ screen by pressing the ‘MENU’

key.

3 Access the ‘Calibration Check’ screen by hitting the

‘CAL CHECK’ button.

4 The screen will then prompt, “Enter weight required

here”. Select the bin that you want to calibrate by pressing the arrow key.

Enter the amount required. Hit ‘ENTER’ to continue

Remember to set and keep to consistant units.

Note that this is is only related to calibration and

weighing; it is not related to the sowing rate entered on the startup screen earlier.

6 The machine will dispense the amount you entered

based on the current settings. If the product or seeding rates are different from the last time the machine was used then the amount metered may not be as expected. If you suspect that the calibration container will overflow then you can stop metering process by hitting one of the 5 keys along the bottom of the screen.

7 Once the machine has stopped the calibration delivery,

either because it has reached the amount you entered or you forced it to stop, weigh the contents of the container. Write down the amount exactly as displayed. Do not round up or round down the value measured.

Scales must be accurate to 2 grams.

8 Enter the recorded value into the Operating Screen as

shown. Press ‘ENTER’ to confirm as requested.

Always use consistant units of measure ie grams or

Kilograms.

6 Press ‘ENTER’ again. The instrument will then calculate

7 Press ‘ENTER’ again to confirm and store the new

General Safety and Accident Prevention Advice

1 Make sure that if the tractor remains attached to the drill

that the ignition key is removed.

2 During maintenance the drill should be supported in such

a manner that if hydraulic failure was to occur the machine would still be adequately supported.

3 Wear gloves when handling components with cutting

edges such as worn discs etc...

4 Disconnect the electrical supply from the tractor before

doing any electrical maintenance.

5 Refer to safety sections for more safety information.

General Cautionary Maintenance Advice

1 Electric Welding - With the electronic equipment in

modern tractors it is advisable to completely disconnect the implement from the tractor, or at the very least disconnect the alternator before attempting any welding.

2 Hydraulics - Ensure hydraulic couplings (male & female)

are clean before connecting. Dirty couplings will result in hydraulic oil contamination and hydraulic cylinder seal damage and bore scores. This in turn will result in oil leakage past the piston seals.

No filter is fitted to the hydraulic system. If hydraulic

fittings and oil supply are not going to be kept clean it is recommended that a filter be fitted to prevent hydraulic cylinder damage.

3 Water Blasting - Water blasting, steam cleaning or other

pressurised cleaning processes can force dirt etc. into undesirable places that may cause damage or rapid part wear to items such as bearings, seals, chains, bushes etc. Caution must be exercised.

‘Renovator TFD’ Maintenance & Care

Page 34

Maintenance Schedule

(

Refer also to Summary Chart, above)

1. Bolted Connections

All bolted connections of the machine should be checked after the first 3 to 5 hours of operation and

retightened if necessary and thereafter at regular intervals. It is suggested that this is done every 500 hectares or annually, whichever occurs first.

2. Hydraulics

Ensure hydraulic couplings (male & female) are clean before connecting. Dirty couplings will result in

hydraulic oil contamination and hydraulic seal and bore damage which will cause oil leakage past the seals.

No filter is fitted to the hydraulic system. If the hydraulic fittings and the oil supply are not going to

be kept clean then it is recommended that a filter be fitted to prevent hydraulic cylinder damage.

3. Drive Chains

All drive chains (1) should be checked after every 20 hours of operation and weekly thereafter or

after 75Ha of operation.

The metering wheels of the seed drill are driven via roller chains from the gearmotor.

4. Wheel Arm Pivots

Wheel arm pivots must be greased regularly (weekly or after every 75Ha) to provide lubrication and

flush out any dirt.

6. Tyre Pressure

The recommended tyre pressures may be found on page 5. Check the tyre pressure regularly to ensure correct pressure is maintained. Weekly checks are recommended.

7. Length of Seed/Fertiliser Tubes

These tubes can stretch over a period of time and require checking at approximately six monthly intervals. Shorten if necessary to avoid bends which will restrict the flow of seed/fertiliser.

8. Framework

The framework structure should be inspected annually for defects, i.e., cracks in members or welded

connections. The framework should be cleaned prior to the inspection.

9. Bottom Flaps

The required seed rate is controlled by both the metering

wheels and the bottom flaps. The seed flows from the seed box into the metering wheel housings. Inside the metering wheel housing (1) the seed is caught between the metering wheel (2) and the bottom flap (3). The metered amount of seed is transported by the metering wheel to the edge of the bottom flap where it drops off into the seed guide tube which leads to the coulter. Varying grain sizes require the matching of the flap clearance to the different grain sizes. This matching is done by raising or lowering the bottom flaps by using the flap adjusting lever on the LH end of the seed box. If larger foreign particles, e.g. stones get between the metering wheel and the bottom flap, the bottom flap can give way downwards. A strong return spring (4) brings the bottom flap immediately back into the working position.

The metering system should be checked every 1/2 year

or before any sowing period with an empty seed box and empty metering housings.

Use the following procedure:

Put the bottom flap setting levers (6) (located on the LH

end of the seed boxes) in position “1” for the front box and position “1” for the rear box.

By turning the metering wheel shaft by hand check the

flaps are all set to a gap of 0.1 to 0.5mm.

To adjust individual flaps use the spring tensioning screw

(5) .

Note: Maintenance Schedule (page 32) Where the frequency is given in terms of use (eg. weekly)

or area covered (eg. 75 Ha) perform the maintenance task based on whichever occurs first.

Preparing the Machine for Storage.

Locate on a dry level surface. The machine should be stored wherever possible so the rams are not supporting any weight. The drive chains should be lubricated with suitable roller chain lubricant before prolonged periods of storage.

For longer term storage remove seed/fertiliser tubes from the boot assembly and allow to hang without deformation. Check tube lengths when replacing.

It is recommended that maintenance be carried out at the end of the season, giving sufficient time to obtain spare parts and/or carry out repairs if required.

A INTRODUCTION

A.1 General Description

The electric drive system enables up to 4 electric motors to be controlled proportional to the forward speed. The system also includes a cut-out sensor to stop seeding while in transport, and a tractor cab mounted co nsole. Connected to each bin is a seeder shaft confirmation sensor, 2 low level sensors, calibration priming switch, electric motor complete with gearbox and a motor control module. The console programming includes product information, bin configuration and set up, sowing rate set up, calibration, system monitoring, etc.

A.2 System Schematic – 2 Bin System

A schematic of the complete 2 bin system is as follows

Page 91

A.3 System Schematic – 3rd Bin System

A schematic of the 3rd bin system is as follows. This system connects directly to the 2 bin system above. The lead is specific to the 3

box even though it may look

similar to some others.

A.4 System Schematic – 4th Bin System

As above; use an additional ‘Y lead’. The box harness lead must be for a 4th box – the connections differ between boxes to identify the Motor Control Module as MCM

BOPERATION

B.1 Power On Routine

When the instrument is first turned on the instrument will enter a short routine to remind the operator of the previous setup. The set up can be changed and then accepted by pressing the ENTER key or alternatively, the routine can be skipped by pressing the MAIN button (Key A).

The first screen on start up is the BIN SETUP screen. See Figure 1 This screen advises the operator which products are defined to which bin. On the screen format shown in Figure 1 the operator can use Keys E & F to cycle through the list of products. The application rate saved against that product will also be shown. The letter shown in the graphic will also change to reflect the product selected.

Figure 1. BIN SETUP screen

Key I can be used to move down the list with both ends of the arrow moving to indicate the product and bin selected. Once at the end it will return to the beginning with the next key press.

Pressing Key H accesses the BIN CONTENTS screen. See Figure 2. This screen enables the operator to adjust the contents of the product in the bin. Pressing the ENTER key returns to BIN SETUP screen.

Page 94

Figure 2. BIN CONTENTS screen

Pressing Key G on the BIN SETUP screen accesses the PRODUCT SETUP screen. See Figure 3. On this screen the operator can view/programme the setup regarding the product in the bin selected.

Figure 3. PRODUCT SETUP screen

There is a directory of 16 products and against each of these 4 factors are recorded. These factors are rate, step size, alarm weight and calibration factor.

The 1

line simply reminds the operator which bin the product is set for.

Page 95

The 2nd line is the product name. This can be changed using the keypad, pressing ENTER to confirm the name entered. This new name then applies to any of the other bins that have the same product.

The 3

line is the target rate for the product. This value can be changed here or on the MAIN screen. The last entered value here or on the MAIN screen is the one saved.

The 4

line is the step size. The step size is the percentage change of the target sowing rate. This can be programmed here or on the screen INFO SETUP screen.

The 5

line of the display is the bin low level alarm weight. This can be

programmed here or on the INFO SETUP screen or on the ALARM SETUP screen. The 6

line is the calibration factor for the product. This can be manually entered here or on the INFO SETUP screen. Doing a product calibration of this product on any bin overwrites this value irrespective of bin.

Pressing the ESC key returns to the BIN SETUP screen. Pressing the ENTER key while showing the BIN SETUP screen accesses the RESET

TOTALS screen. See Figure 4. If Key I is pressed the instrument goes directly to the MAIN operating screen. If Key E is then pressed a secondary screen is displayed which enables the operator to reset either the ‘PART’ or ‘TOT’ area’s. Select ‘PART’ or ‘TOT’ to highlight whish is to be reset and press the RESET button (Key E). Press the ESC button (Key G) to return to the previous screen or the ENTER button to confirm the reset. Press the MAIN button (Key A) when complete.

B.2 Main Operating Screen

B.2.1 Main screen options and bin configur a tion display

Figure 5 shows the MAIN screen display for the 2 bin configuration. The left bin is bin 1 (front) and the right hand bin is bin 2 (rear). The MAIN screen can be accessed at any time by pressing the MAIN button (Key A).

Figure 5. 2 bin configuration

Figure 6 shows the MAIN screen display for one of the 3 bin configurations. The left bin is bin 3 (the small bin), the middle bin is bin 1 and the right hand bin is bin

Figure 6. 3 bin configuration (3rd box at front)

Page 97

Figure 7 shows the MAIN screen display for the other 3 bin configuration. The left bin is bin 1, the middle bin is bin 2 and the right hand bin is bin 3 (the small bin).

Figure 7. 3 bin configuration (3rd box at rear)

Figure 8 shows the MAIN screen display for the 4 bin configuration. The left bin is bin 3 (the front small bin), the left middle bin is bin 1, the right middle is bin 2 and the right hand bin is bin 4 (the rear small box).

Figure 8. 4 bin configuration

Figure 9 shows a summary of the 4 bin configuration MAIN screen display. This enables particular details of each bin to be displayed simultaneously. The summary screens for the 2 bin and 3 bin configurations are the same except the respective missing bin information is blank.

Page 98

Figure 9. MAIN screen summary (4 bin configuration)

Pressing the MAIN button (Key A) cycles between the two versions of the appropriate MAIN screen (box specific and summary screens).

B.2.2 Main screen display features

Figure 10 provides a description of various features on the MAIN screen. This is for a 4 bin configuration but also applies to the other configurations.

The top line of the display shows the time (top left) and area cut-out status (top right). When the drill is ‘out of work’ (lifted) a cross is shown, a tick indicates ‘in work’ (lowered). When the drill is ‘out of work’ motor control and alarms will be inhibited. The second line of the MAIN display advises the operator of the product that the details below relate to. This will change when Key I is pressed. The metering rolls will be stationary when the motors are stationary and as soon as the motors start rotating the icon will be animated. If the motor is t urned off a cross will be show.

If the instrument is ‘in work’ and the forward speed is below the minimum forward speed setting (refer to C.1.5.2), then the instrument will beep and the display will be as in Figure 11. The alarm bell icon and down arrows will flash in sequence with the internal buzzer.

Figure 11. MAIN screen - low speed alarm

Pressing Key I cycles through the bins in a loop. The end of the arrow will move to indicate the bin currently selected (underneath the metering roll). The product, rate, amount, hectares done and motor status shown will change with each bin.

Pressing Key H will turn the selected bin motor ON or OFF irrespective of whether the machine is in transport or not. When turned off the product totals stop accumulating. The key tab reverses shading to show the status and the metering roll shows a cross when turned off as shown in Figure 12.

Figure 12. MAIN screen - motors on & off

Page 100

With the desired bin/product selected simply use the key pad to enter the desired application rate. The digits will flash and pressing ENTER will confirm the rate entered. Maximum is either 3 digits to 0 decimal places or 1 digit to 1 de cimal place. Resolution will be as follows 0.0 to 9.9 in 0.1 kg steps, 10 – 99 in 1 kg steps, 100 – 999 in 5kg steps. Values programmed will be rounded to the nearest acceptable value, i.e. 254 will be 255. It will only be possible to enter a new application rate if the forward speed is below the minimum forward speed setting. This rate is then saved against the specific product within the PRODUCT SETUP screen, refer Figure 3.

When a new product rate has been entered, the MAIN screen shows the maximum forward speed for 3 seconds or until a Key has been pressed. See Figure 13. The maximum forward speed shown is the corresponding ground speed when the motor is at maximum speed. This is based on the product calibration factor.

Figure 13. MAIN screen - max ground speed

Keys F & G are used to change the rate of the product selected. The default step size is 10% but this can be changed. Refer to B.3.2.

The TARGET RETURN button (Key E) is used to return the actual sowing rate to the target sowing rate when a rate change has already been made. Until the rate has been changed the key is ‘greyed’ out.

Warning: The speed shown may exceed the practical speed for
