Layout and meaning of warnings

All safety instructions found in these Operating Instructions are composed in accordance with the following pattern:

WARNING

This signal word identifies medium-risk hazards, which could potentially cause death or serious bodily injury, if not avoided.

CAUTION

This signal word identifies low-risk hazards, which could potentially cause minor or moderate bodily injury or damage to property, if not avoided.

NOTICE

This signal word identifies actions which could lead to operational malfunctions if performed incorrectly. These actions require that you operate in a precise and cautious manner in order to produce optimum work results.

There are some actions that need to be performed in several steps. If there is a risk involved in carrying out any of these steps, a safety warning will appear in the instructions themselves.

Safety instructions always directly precede the step involving risk and can be identified by their bold

Example

font type and a signal word.

Instructions on retrofitting

Selecting components

User responsibility

Refer to the following chapters to learn how to perform these steps.

Instructions on how to retrofit electrical and electronic farm equipment and/or components

Agricultural equipment used today features electronic components and parts whose function can be affected by other farm equipment which emits electromagnetic waves. Such effects could lead to personnel being put in danger, if the following safety instructions are not adhered to.

When selecting components, make sure first of all, that the retrofitted electrical and electronic components comply with the current version of the EMC Directive 2004/108/EC and carry the CE marking.

When retrofitting a machine with electrical and electronic farm equipment and/or components connected to the vehicle's electrical system, it is your own responsibility to check whether the installation causes interference with the vehicle's electronic system or other components. This applies, in particular, to the electronic control of: ▪ EHR, ▪ front linkage, ▪ take-off shafts, ▪ engine, ▪ gear.

Additional requirements

The following requirements must be met in order to retrofit mobile communication systems (e.g. radio, phone): ▪ All farm equipment must be approved and installed in accordance with the regulations applicable

in the respective country (e.g. in Germany, the Federal Approvals Office for Telecommunications

(BZT)). ▪ The equipment must be installed as a fixed installation. ▪ The operation of portable or mobile farm equipment in the interior of the vehicle is only permitted

via a connection to a permanently installed exterior antenna. ▪ The transmitting part must be spatially separated from the vehicle's electronic system. ▪ When attaching the antenna, pay attention to proper installation, including a sound ground

connection between the antenna and the vehicle's ground wire.

For information on wiring and installation as well as the maximum allowable current consumption, please also refer to the installation guide provided by the machine manufacturer.

Mounting and installation

Mounting the terminal in the tractor cab

4.2

Procedure

Mounting the terminal in the tractor cab

NOTICE

Electromagnetic interference

The operation of the terminal may be impaired by electromagnetic waves emitted by other farm equipment.

◦ Mount the terminal at least 1 m away from the radio antenna or from a radio device.

1. Screw the bracket to the terminal.

2. Mount the terminal with the bracket installed inside the tractor cab.

For instance, you can use the ME base console for this purpose.

The DGPS Receiver A100 is delivered ready-configured. However you can change the configuration.

Parameters

In this chapter you will learn how to do this.

You can configure the following parameters in the process:

Baud rate

Setting for the speed at which the terminal sends data to the DGPS Receiver. The parameter sets the baud rate for the terminal.

The default baud rate is 19200.

This baud rate is suitable for the DGPS Receiver A100.

Satellite 1 and Satellite 2

Only required with the correction signal "WAAS/EGNOS".

Satellite 1 – primary DGPS satellite. The DGPS Receiver will connect to this satellite in the first instance.

Configuring the terminal in the Service application

GPS Receiver

Satellite 2 – secondary DGPS satellite. The DGPS Receiver will only connect to this satellite in the event that the primary satellite fails.

Your satellite selection will depend on which satellite currently has the best availability in your region. ▪ "Auto"

The software automatically selects the current best satellite. This setting is not recommended, as it slows down start-up of the DGPS Receiver.

▪ Name of the satellite

Steering

This parameter activates the "Automatic steering" assistance function in the GPS Receiver. ▪ "On"

Activates automatic steering assistance.

▪ "Off"

Deactivates automatic steering assistance.

Correction signal

Type of correction signal for the DGPS Receiver. ▪ "WAAS/EGNOS“

Correction signal in Europe and in North America.

▪ "E-DIF“

Internal calculation of correction data. This setting is required outside of the EU and the USA. To use e-Dif, you will require a special version of the DGPS Receiver A100. You can order this this DGPS Receiver from Müller Elektronik with the item number 30302464.

Configuring FarmPilot

Only read this chapter once you have upgraded the BASIC-Terminal to a BASIC-Terminal TOP. The function described in this chapter can only be used on an upgraded terminal.

FarmPilot is an internet portal which allows software on a farm computer to exchange data with machines via a mobile phone network. Operating data are stored in a central location on the portal and are presented clearly to the user.

Before you can use FarmPilot in conjunction with your terminal, you must complete the following steps: ▪ Purchase a SIM card and have it activated. ▪ Activate FarmPilot ▪ Enter your FarmPilot access data

Refer to the following chapters to learn how to perform these steps.

Activating FarmPilot

To activate FarmPilot on your terminal, you must first activate its driver.

NOTICE

High costs from prolonged data transfer

If you do not have a flatrate in your mobile phone contract, continuous use of FarmPilot can lead to high costs. If your flatrate has a data volume limit, continuous use of FarmPilot can quickly use up your data volume limit.

Procedure

◦ Deactivate the FarmPilot driver, when you are not using the portal.

1. Switch to the "Driver settings" screen:

+Vin = voltage supply (+)

–Vin = ground (-)

* - The signals marked with * correspond to the CiA assignment (CAN in automation).

The two signals CAN_L and CAN_L* or CAN_H and CAN_H* are linked internally and used to loop the CAN bus through.

Assigning CAN_EN_in to the supply potential (= +Vin) enables the terminal to be switched on.

When switched on, the terminal supplies voltage to the CAN_EN_out (minus approx. 1.2 V), which is required to activate the connected jobcomputers.

The signals '-Vin' and 'CAN_GND' are directly linked with both connectors, therefore it is crucial to avoid differences in potential between the pins of these two connectors.

Pin assignment of port C

Port C is an RS232 interface

CAUTION

Damage to the equipment caused by short circuit

Pin 4 of port C is live. The voltage depends on the operating voltage of the terminal and is used to supply the DGPS Receiver A100 from Müller Elektronik. Other GPS Receivers may suffer damage if connected to this port. Before connecting a different GPS Receiver:

◦ Check what voltage the terminal is connected to (12 V or 24 V).

◦ Check the pin assignment of the GPS Receiver.

◦ Check the allowable voltage for the GPS Receiver.

◦ Compare the terminal voltage to the allowable voltage for the GPS Receiver.

◦ Compare the pin assignment.

◦ Only connect the GPS Receiver to the terminal, if the voltage range and pin assignment of both

devices don't differ from each other.

When switched on, the terminal routes current to the farm equipment that is connected via the RS232 connector. The voltage of the RS232 connector is dependent on the operating voltage of the terminal.

When connected to a 12 V battery, the terminal will transfer approx. 11.3 V to the connected equipment.

When connected to a 24 V battery, the terminal will transfer approx. 23.3 V to the connected equipment.

The use of a GPS Receiver only requires the signals RxD and TxD as well as GND.

Pin assignment of camera ports 1 and 2

Ports 1 and 2 are used to connect an analogue camera. The pin assignment is identical for both ports.

Ports 1 and 2 are 5-pin, A-encoded M12 sockets. Please refer to the following table for the pin assignment.
