INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing a LH product.

Whilst developing the LH ”Intellitram” 500 we have tried to create an advanced
product that, at the same time, is easy to operate.

The LH ”Intellitram” 500 has many user selectable functions and meets therefore
almost all thinkable combinations of different working widths of seed drills and
cultivating equipment, i.e. field sprayers and fertiliser spreaders.

It is not essential to read the whole operators manual now, but to help you
start “communicating” with the computer, we recommend that you read the
“General operation” chapter before you turn the computer on.

It’s never a good idea to learn how to operate the computer on the first day that it
is to be used. We recommend therefore to “practice” to get used to “pushing
buttons” before the computer is to be used.

Many of the functions in the computer are self-explanatory. This eases operation
of the unit and allows you to operate the computer without this manual after a few
hours work. We do however recommend that this manual is “in reach” should you
be in doubt.

Enjoy!

We have endeavoured to deliver a fault free product. To ensure optimal use of the
equipment we ask that great attention be paid when reading the manual. We are
more than happy to help should any queries arise, both when the product is used
for the first time and at any later date. Regarding responsibility for use of the
product we refer to our sales and delivery terms especially paragraph 7, which
follows:

7. Product usage.

7.1 Any use of the product is at the sole risk of the buyer. The buyer is
therefore not entitled to any form for compensation caused by, for example,
any of the following:

• Disturbance to/from any electronic services or products that do not

confirm to the standards for CE marking,

• Missing or poor signal coverage or a succession hereof from external

transmitters/receivers, used by the buyer,

• Functional faults, which apply to or from a PC-program or PC-

equipment, not delivered by the seller,

• Faults that may arise from the buyers negligence to react to warnings

and fault messages from the product, or which can be traced to
negligence and/or absent constant control of the work carried out in
comparison to the planned job.

7.2 When implementing any new equipment the buyer must take great care and pay
attention. Any doubts as to correct operation/use should result in
contacting the sellers service department.

This manual may not be altered, copied or manipulated in any way. Unoriginal
manuals can lead to operational faults damaging machines or crops as a
consequence thereof. LH Technologies Denmark ApS can therefore not be held
responsible for damages incurred, which can be traced to the use of unoriginal or
manipulated manuals. Original manuals can be requisitioned at any time from your
dealer.

OPERATING THE LH 500

HOLD KEY (POS. 1)

Key Description

Pressing this key stops the bout number from being counted. The
implement can be lifted without the bout number changing. This
function is typically used if the seed drill must be raised for an
obstruction. Once the obstruction has been cleared, press the
HOLD key again and the bout number will be counted automatically
again. When this function is active an icon will be displayed on the
screen.

FUNCTION SELECTION KEY (POS. 2)

Key Description

Pressing this key pages through the available operating functions.
An operating function is automatically selected – it is not necessary
to press other keys to accept the selected function.

MENU KEY (POS. 3)

Key Description

Menu

The computer alternates between the operating screen and the
main menu each time this key is pressed. The key has a toggle
function so if the operating screen is shown and the key is pressed
the main menu will be displayed instead and visa versa. If the key is
pressed whilst, e.g. encoding, the operating screen will be
displayed.

ARROW KEYS (POS. 4)

Key Description

The arrow keys are used to select and alter an encodement. The
UP and DOWN arrow keys are also used to move the cursor in the
operating screen, which allows moving between the 2 selectable
operating functions.

OPERATION

Pressing the MENU key, regardless of where you are in the program, shows the
operating screen. The operating screen is always displayed when the computer is
switched on.

Correct operation presupposes that all encodements/calibrations have taken
place (see page 13).

OPERATING SCREEN

The operating screen can be split up into the following sections. A description of
the sections follows:

Indication of the
tramlining rhythm.

The actual bout number
is marked with a black
triangle.

Active hold function
(pause in the tramlining
rhythm)

Operation function 1
(selectable)

Implement sensor
status (area count
on/off).

Operation function 2
(selectable)

Manual control of the
tramlining rhythm.

0.00

0

01 03 02

Manual control of the
tramlining rhythm.

INDICATION OF THE TRAMLINING RHYTHM

An indication of the present bout number in the tramlining rhythm. The present
bout number is shown with a black triangle. If tramlines are being made lines are
shown on the screen indicating this (these indicate which output is activated).

HOLD FUNCTION

If the hold function is active (manual pause in the tramlining rhythm) a lock is
shown on the display. The lock is not shown when the hold function is not active.

IMPLEMENT SENSOR STATUS

When the raised lift arm is displayed on the screen the implement sensor is active
and area is not counted. If the lift arm is not displayed on the screen the
implement sensor is not active and area is counted.

Repeatedly pressing the FUNCTION SELECTION key pages through the available
functions (see page 11).

decrease by 1. When PROGRAM key 2 (to the right) is pressed the present bout
number will increase by 1.
