About the job computer
Job computer functions
The SPRAYER-Controller Orchard/Vineyard MIDI 3.0 job computer is an ISOBUS job computer that
can control the operation of orchard or vineyard sprayers.
The ISOBUS job computer is the switching central of the orchard or vineyard sprayer. Several
sensors are connected to the job computer, which monitor important implement parts. The job
computer controls the implement based on these signals and on the operator's specifications. An
ISOBUS terminal serves as an interface. All implement-specific data is stored in the job computer and
is therefore maintained even when changing the terminal.
System overview
The system consists of one or several job computers that are mounted on the orchard or vineyard
sprayer and control the operation.
System with one job computer and keypad
ISOBUS cable
Extension cable
Primary ECU-MIDI job computer
Flex-Wire cable
Keypad
CAN termination
Each job computer is responsible for controlling selected functions of the orchard or vineyard sprayer
and receives signals from selected sensors. For systems with two or more job computers, each uses
identical job computers and junction boxes.

Instructions for safe installation
To prevent damage to the system components, consider the following during installation:
▪ Install the job computer where it is protected from dirt. You therefore avoid unintentional cleaning
of the job computer by the implement operator using a high-pressure cleaner.
▪ In the installed position, the connectors and the pressure compensation membrane must be
facing to the side.
▪ Fasten the job computer with four fixing bolts and a flat washer (lock washers can cause cracks
in the plastic on the long term) on a conducting spot on the implement chassis. In case of
improper installation, the ESD discharges can cause malfunctions.
▪ All of the sockets and connectors that are not used must be protected from dust and water using
suitable dummy connectors.
▪ All of the connectors must be tightly sealed. This makes them waterproof.
▪ The connection cable must be mechanically supported in the area of the installation site
(distance < 150 mm) so that an in-phase stimulation takes place.
▪ Do not use the system if some of its parts are damaged. Damaged parts can cause malfunctions
and lead to injuries. Replace damaged components.
▪ Only use original components.
Connecting the AMP connectors
This is how to connect two AMP connectors:
1. Pull out the red locking device of the AMP socket all the way to the end.
⇨ You will hear a loud clicking sound.
⇨ The openings for inserting the locking pins of the connector are visible.
2. Insert the connector into the socket. It should be possible to easily insert the locking pins in the
openings.
⇨ The connector is loosely inserted in the socket.
3. Press in the red locking device.
⇨ You will hear a loud clicking sound.

Installing the junction box
Take note of the following when selecting the installation location:
▪ Ensure that cables cannot be damaged by the moving implement.
▪ The cable glands must be facing downwards.
Connecting the sensors and actuators to the junction box
Every sensor and every actuator that is mentioned in the pin-out diagram must be connected to the
connection in the junction box mentioned in the pin-out diagram.
This can be done in two ways:
▪ The sensor or actuator ends with a short cable and an AMP connector.
In this case, you will receive a fitting sensor connection cable for each sensor. You must insert
the sensor connection cable in the junction box and connect it to the fitting terminal.
▪ The sensor or actuator ends with a long cable without a connector. You have to insert it in the
junction box and connect it to the fitting terminal.
The terminal to which you must connect the cable core depends on the respective implement and on
the type of sensor or actuator.
Please note that the cable cores for the ultrasonic sensor trigger always need to be connected to Pins
2 and 3.
NOTICE
Risk of short-circuit
When exchanging the polarity of cable cores, machine sensors can be damaged by a short-circuit.
◦ Pay attention to the polarity of the cable cores and the terminals.
The junction box is not powered.
There is no voltage on the components to be connected.
1. Remove the cable coating so that all cable cores are exposed.

3030383000-02-EN
2. Insert the cable to the end of the coat. There should only be cable cores inside the junction box.
The cable coating must end at the junction box casing. This is the only way to ensure that you
have enough space in the junction box to be able to guide all of the cable cores to the terminals.
3. Remove the cable coating of the cable cores ca. 1 cm from the end of the cable core.
4. CAUTION! Pay attention to the proper polarity of the cable cores and the terminals.
5. Connect the cable cores to the terminals. [➙ 16]
To do so, use the information on the lid of the junction box, on the relay circuit board and in the
pin-out diagram.
6. Close the screw connections of the junction box.
After screwing them shut, the glands should be sealed.
7. Close unused openings in the casing of the junction box with blind caps.
Inserting the cable core into a terminal
Each terminal consists of two openings:
▪ The upper opening or the orange opening point of the terminal opens the lower opening.
▪ The bottom opening of the terminal serves to insert and clamp one cable core.
You have prepared a small flat screwdriver that fits the upper opening of the terminal. You only
need this screwdriver if there are no wire end sleeves on the cable cores.
You have cut the cable to the proper length and have exposed the cable cores according to the
instructions, or you have a finished cable from Müller Elektronik.
The tractor engine is switched off.
The junction box is not powered.
There is no voltage on the components to be connected.
1. Find the proper connectors for the cable cores to be connected.
To do so, use the information on the lid of the junction box, on the relay circuit board and in the
pin-out diagram.
2. Insert the cable core into the opening in the lower part of the terminal. If you are not using wire
end sleeves, you first have to use the screwdriver.

“Regulation Factor” parameter
In Automatic mode, the spray pressure of the nozzles is adapted to the current speed of the sprayer.
The adjustment should ensure that the volume of spray liquid that is applied is exactly what you
defined in the target rate. The regulation factor plays a decisive role here.
The regulation factor adjusts the reaction speed of the regulation:
▪ The higher the regulation factor, the faster the spray pressure is adjusted.
▪ The lower the regulation factor, the more slowly the spray pressure is adjusted.
When setting the regulation factor, you can pay attention to the following:
▪ If, during movement at constant speed, the current application volume jumps around the target
rate, you need to reduce the regulation factor.
▪ If, when speed is changing, the application volume does not adjust to the rate quickly enough,
you need to increase the regulation factor.
For the regulation factor, you can also define permissible deviations.
- Switch to the “Spray regulation” screen. There, you will find the “Large deviation” and
“Smallest deviation” parameters that you can configure for the regulation factor.
The “Large deviation” controls the regulation factor if there is a large deviation between the target and
the current value and the “Smallest deviation” controls the regulation factor if there is a small
deviation between the target and actual value.
The “Large deviation” controls the regulation factor if there is a large deviation between the target and
the current value and the “Smallest deviation” controls the regulation factor if there is a small
deviation between the target and actual value.
“Minimum Pressure” parameter
This setting defines the minimum pressure up to which the spraying pressure is optimal.
If the spraying pressure drops below the defined pressure, an alarm is issued.
If no pressure sensor is installed on your sprayer, you must enter “0” as the value.
If the “Pressure limit” parameter is configured on your sprayer, the minimum pressure set there will
not be undercut while spraying.
“Maximum Pressure” parameter
This setting defines the maximum pressure up to which the spraying pressure is optimal.
If the spraying pressure increase beyond the defined pressure, an alarm is issued.
If no pressure sensor is installed on your sprayer, you must enter “0” as the value.
If the “Pressure limit” parameter is configured on your sprayer, the maximum pressure set there will
not be exceeded while spraying.
“Sprayer off Below” parameter
(Minimum working speed)
If the sprayer speed drops below the minimum working speed, the following happens:

▪ The flow will no longer be regulated and the flow remains unchanged.
▪ Manual mode will be activated.
▪ The work screen displays the icon
When the value is set to 0, this function is deactivated.
This parameter must be higher or the same as the “Sprayer off below” parameter.
“Jump start time” parameter
With this parameter, you can simulate the speed after switching on the sprayer (at least one section
will be switched on).
The set simulated speed is then used for the entered “Jump start” duration before switching to the
regular speed.
If the simulated speed is 0, this parameter is deactivated.
With the “Jump start” duration, the application rate is increased when starting off to prevent
insufficient application rates at the beginning of the field.
“Tank Size” parameter
Size of the tank for the spray liquid.
“Tank level alarm” parameter
When the tank content falls below this value, an alarm message appears on the screen.
“Stirring off below” parameter
When the tank content falls below this value, the following happens:
▪ The stirrer is automatically switched off.
When the value is set to 0, this function is deactivated.
“Circulation Type” parameter
▪ “Non constant pressure”

Selecting the work mode
If different work modes were configured for your implement with the configurator, you can select the
desired work mode through the job computer software. Every setting that you make will then be
automatically saved for the respective work mode.
Each work mode can contain up to four different parameters, which are displayed directly when
starting the job computer or by opening the start screen manually. The start screen is used to view
the most important settings and offers the option to adjust them. To go to the work screen, press
.
To select the desired work mode:
1. Switch to the “Work modes” screen:

⇨ The “Work modes” screen appears.
2. Select the desired work mode.
3. - You can optionally enter a new name for the selected work mode.
Changing the control mode
Before you start working, you must select which control mode you want to use.
1. On the work screen, press:
> >
⇨ The “Spray regulation” screen appears.
2. Enter the desired target rate.
3. Select the control mode.
⇨ If you select the “Ground surface” control mode, you do not need to make any other
settings. In the “Ground surface” control mode, application is performed uniformly across
the actual working width according to the specified target rate.
⇨ If you select the “Plants surface” control mode, the “Boom reference” parameter appears.
The boom reference shows the activated and deactivated spraying areas. In the “Plants
surface” control mode, the entered target rate is always based on the active spraying areas.
In this case, the correct number of nozzles and the correct nozzle colour must be set for
each spraying area. Based on this information, the job computer application automatically
calculates the required target rate for the active spraying areas. If spraying areas are
switched on or off during operation, the required target rate is automatically adjusted. This
control mode is sensible if more than one spraying area is used on each side, because the
“Ground surface” control mode only uses the actual working width to calculate the target
rate.

Calibrating the flow meter
Because the number of impulses per liter can change during the lifespan of a flow meter, calibration
must be carried out in the following cases:
▪ Prior to initial start-up.
▪ At the start of each season.
▪ When you detect deviations between the quantity actually sprayed and the quantity displayed.
▪ When you have replaced or repaired the flow meter.
There are two ways you can calibrate the flow meter:
▪ The tank method – it is time-consuming, but precise.
▪ The nozzle method – it is not as precise as the tank method, but is less time-consuming.

Selecting and configuring the speed sensor
You must enter the source from which the job computer shall obtain the current speed.
The configuration procedure can differ depending on the speed source.
Selecting the speed source
Supported speed sources:
▪ “Sensor” – Sensors that are installed on the implement and connected to the job computer:
– Examples: Wheel sensor, radar sensor, impulse-transmitting GPS speed sensor
– Configuration: Configure the number of impulses per 100 meters.
▪ “ISOBUS” – Sensors that are installed on the tractor and whose signal is received through the
ISOBUS.
– Examples: GPS receiver, wheel sensor on the tractor, signal socket
– Configuration: For systems without option of selecting the sensor input, the “Wheel
impulses” parameter must be set to 0.
▪ “Auto” – Some systems enable automatic detection of the speed source.
– Mode of operation: If a speed signal is detected on the ISOBUS, this speed will be used as
a basis. In the case of signal failure, the job computer will take the impulses from the sensor
connected to the job computer as a basis for determining the speed.
– Configuration: For systems that have two sensor types, it is recommended to calibrate the
sensor that is connected to the job computer. In other cases, set the “Wheel Impulses”
parameter to 0.
To configure the speed source:
1. On the work screen, press the following keys successively:

Configuring the ultrasonic sensors
Basics
Mode of operation of ultrasonic sensors
Ultrasonic sensors send acoustic pulses that are reflected and are then received by the sensor again.
The time measured between sending and receiving the pulses is determined. This enables precise
measurement of the distance from an object.

V7.20230111
3030383000-02-EN
Using these pulses, a sensor can determine whether there are crops standing at a specific point or
not.
If multiple ultrasonic sensors are being used and the installation distances for the ultrasonic sensors
specified in the data sheet cannot be maintained, the sensors must be synchronised via Pin 4 of the
AMP connector. The figure below shows why this is necessary.
The synchronisation should be used when the following installation distances cannot be achieved:
Sensor type
Distance top/bottom
Distance left/right
Mic-130/I/MUE
≥ 1.10 m
≥ 8.00 m
Mic-340/I/MUE
≥ 2.00 m
≥ 18.00 m
Mic-600/I/MUE
≥ 4.00 m
≥ 30.00 m
If the sent acoustic pulse hits an object that is not straight, there is the possibility that a portion of the
acoustic pulse is deflected to the side. A different sensor could possibly receive this acoustic pulse,
resulting in a faulty distance measurement. For this reason, sensors that could influence each other
are set to a suitable tact via Pin 4.
This means that if Pin 4 is set to a high on one sensor and set to a low on the other sensor, the
sensor with the high is in working mode and the one with the low is in waiting mode. This prevents
the sensors from influencing each other. The respective tact is emitted via Pins 2 and 3 with MIDI 3.0.
Faulty ultrasonic sensor synchronisation
To prevent faulty measurements, multiple sensors must always be synchronised such that they do
not influence each other.

Example: Correct ultrasonic sensor synchronisation
In the example, sensors 1 and 3 and sensors 2 and 4 are synchronised. This means that sensors 1
and 3 are active and sensors 2 and 4 are inactive at very short time intervals, and vice versa.
Allocation of the ultrasonic sensors
The ultrasonic sensors are allocated according to the customer's requirements. The software offers
the following options for this:
▪ Each spraying area that is assigned to an actuator can be assigned to an ultrasonic sensor for
automatic switching on and off.
▪ Multiple spraying areas can be assigned to one single ultrasonic sensor for automatic switching
on and off.
The selection for this is made in the configurator and is set for the respective implement.
The ultrasonic sensors should be installed as far to the front of the sprayer as possible to achieve
sufficient reaction speed while driving. In terms of the height, the sensors should be installed as close
to the centre as possible to cover the greatest portion possible of each spraying area. Moreover, the
sensors should not be installed directly in the spray mist. The distances from the sensors to the

nozzles and the delay times of the actuators for switching the spraying areas are entered in the
configurator.
Example 1
In this example, the mounted sprayer has four spraying areas. There is an upper spraying area and a
lower spraying area on the left and right respectively. The left sensor in this example is responsible
for the left lower and upper area. The right sensor is for the right lower and upper area. As a result, 2
spraying areas are switched by one sensor on each side.
Example 2
In this example, the trailed sprayer has four spraying areas. There is an upper spraying area and a
lower spraying area on the left and right respectively. Each spraying area has four nozzles. A total of
four sensors are installed, so that each spraying area has an ultrasonic sensor. As shown in the
figure, the sensors are installed in the middle of the spraying area, and each automatically switches
four nozzles on and off.
Performing the configuration
If ultrasonic sensors are installed on the implement, the implement can automatically distinguish
between crops and no crops.

that is sprayed in the longitudinal direction (see figure).
“Opening shifting” parameter
Enter the distance over which the implement should already start spraying before the crops are
reached.
If this value is smaller than 0, the application opens the spraying areas earlier.
If this value is bigger than 0, the application opens the spraying areas later.
“Closing shifting” parameter
Enter the distance over which the implement should still spray after switching off.
If this value is smaller than 0, the application closes the spraying areas earlier.
If this value is bigger than 0, the application closes the spraying areas later.
Configuring the nozzles for sprayers with pressure calculation
By configuring the nozzle type, the job computer can calculate the current spray pressure based on
the measured flow.
You have to configure the nozzles if a pressure sensor is installed on the sprayer.
If no pressure sensor is installed on the sprayer and the application rate is only regulated based on
the flow, then you only need to configure the nozzles for the pressure calculation.
Using the nozzle assistant
The nozzle assistant serves the following purposes:
▪ To show how the nozzle type affects the possible application rates and speeds.
▪ To help with the correct selection of the installed nozzle type.
▪ To change the target rate.

Assigning the joystick buttons
If you are using the AUX2 auxiliary protocol, you can assign the buttons on the joystick yourself.
The buttons on the joystick can be assigned in the „Service“ application of the terminal. You can read
how to do this in the operating instructions for the terminal.
The functions that can be assigned to the individual buttons can also be seen in the „Service“
application of the terminal. You can always recognise the respective function by the function icon.
The meaning of the respective function icons can be found in the different sections of these
instructions.
