1 Overview

This operating guide supplements the UNI Control S operating guide. The application on the multi­purpose sprayer is described here.

1.1 Operating mode "multi-purpose sprayer"

Used on multi-purpose sprayers with hydraulic driven scraper floors, the UNI Control S controls the
spread rate fully automatically. The speed of the hydraulic motor and consequently the spread rate
are controlled by a motor-adjustable current control valve.

The UNI Control S ensures exact dosage of the spraying liquid. Wrong dosage when conditions are
difficult is impossible due to slip-free speed recording. Accurately spread sludge replaces
commercial fertilizer and protects the environment.

1.2 System description

The system consits of the UNI Control S computer with switch box, and the multi-purpose sprayer
signal distributor with sensors and current control valve.

1.2.1 UNI Control S with switch box

The multi-purpose sprayer program is included in every UNI Control S. The program is activated by
coding in the machine plug of the switchbox.

The system is switched on and off at the switch box. Automatic or manual operation can be
selected using the manual/auto switch. During manual operation the +/- keys can be used to adjust
the scraper floor speed. The UNI Control S recognises the working position when the scraper floor
drive is running and the working position switch is on. The recording of the area and the spread rate
is interrupted when the scraper floor drive is switched off or when the working position switch is at
off.

The dosage position and dosage position + lamps show the required slide valve position.

The LCD display in the switch box shows a value analogue to the scraper floor speed (= oil engine's
rpm).

Before initial operation the following table should be filled out. .

operation. In addition the display is used to monitor the fully automatic regulation.

1.2.2 Signal distributor – multi-purpose sprayer with sensors

Following sensors are connected in the switch box

- "Dosage" sensor (inductive sensor)
The drive's rpm is recorded at the gear wheel of the oil engine. The UNI Control S uses this to
calculate the current spread rate in m3/min.

- "Speed" sensor (Hall element)
The sensor takes the actual rate from the wheel of the sprayer.

- "Dosage position" sensor and " Dosage position +" sensor (Hall element)
The slide valve position must be adhered to exactly for accurate dosage. The "dosage position "
sensor displays the selected position during operation via a lamp in the switch box

The "dosage position +" sensor displays the wider opened slide valve via a further lamp. A wider
opening is required at the beginning of operation when the sludge has a low TS content

Varying slide valve positions are necessary depending on the spread rate and the spray liquid.
This can be done by moving the magnets.

- Motor controlled current control valve.
The UNI Control S regulates the speed of the oil-motor propelled scraper floor by means of the
valve.

The current control valve is connencted to the bottom part of the 16-channel coupler plug.

2 Installation instructions

2.1 Console and computer

Please refer to the UNI Control S Operation and Installation Guide.

2.2 Sprayer equipment

- 16-channel coupler plug

The 16-channel coupler plug is mounted on the sprayer's drawbar using the enclosed screws

- Multi-purpose sprayer switch box

The signal distributor is mounted in a protected position on the rear part of the sprayer (e.g. on the
bar underneath the floor.

- Current control valve

The current control valve is mounted near the 16-channel coupler plug and is connected directly to
the coupler plug. Refer to the current control valve graphic to connect the hydraulics.

- Dosage sensor (inductive sensor)

The rpm is recorded at the gear wheel of the oil engine by means of this sensor. The distance
between the tooth and the sensor should be approximately 2mm. A fully enclosed inductive
sensor with the same electrical functions is supplied for oil bath drives. The sensor is screwed
directly into the casing of the oil bath drive.
The switch distance in this case should also be 2mm.
The sensor has a screw thread of M12 x 1. The gear wheel with the highest rpm is best suited
for impulse recording.

Copyright Müller-Elektronik GmbH u.Co. Operating Guide UC-S on Multi-purpose spreaders (07/97) Page - 7 -

- Wheel sensor

The magnets are attached to a tape stretched round the brake drum. A Hall sensor is mounted
opposite the magnets at a distance of 5 - 10 mm.

The number of magnets depends on the wheel circumference. An impulse should be delivered for
every 60 cm distance covered.

Example: Wheel circumference 3.40 m

= 340 cm ÷ 60 cm = 5.66
= this means that 6 magnets are required.

Slip-free speed recording can also be carried out by a radar device on the tractor. In this case the
wheel sensor on the sprayer is not required.

Page - 8 - Copyright Müller-Elektronik GmbH u.Co. Operating Guide UC-S on Multi-purpose spreaders (07/97)

- Dosage position sensor and dosage position + sensor

As already described under section 1.2.1 and 1.2.2. the dosage position and dosage position +
sensors are necessary in order to locate the dosage position easily.

A corner bracket is mounted to the dosage slide valve.

The dosage slide valve position and the dosage slide valve position + sensors are installed
opposite the corner bracket. The distance should be 70 cm. Over the complete length of the
corner bracket at 100mm intervals, holes (5mm) are to be bored to secure the magnets. The
distance x when the slide valve is closed is equal to the opening during operation (in the diagram
30cm). The distance y is the slide valve position + (in the diagram 50cm).

2-3 positions are necessary for varying spread rates, e.g. sludge.

e.g. small opening (20 cm) 5 - 15 m3/ha

medium-sized opening (30 cm) 15 - 30 m3/ha
large opening (40 cm) over 30 m3/ha

With the altered scraper floor speed the required interim rates are achieved.

3.2 Operation procedure

After the UNI Control S has been installed and the machine specific data entered it is ready for
operation.

The operation procedure is as follows:

* Connect the sprayer to the tractor and the switch box to the UNI Control S, which must be

switched off.

* Switch on the UNI Control S; the type of machine is automatically detected via the machine plug

and the corresponding program with the machine data entered is automatically selected.

* Select data block "order" (Press the T1 key)

– Enter the name (field name; customer name)
– Enter or check the set rate
– Enter comments
Name and comments are not compulsory.
The set rate should always be checked.
– Start the order (T2)

* Check magnets 1 and 2 on the dosage position and dosage position + sensors and if necessary

reposition the required spread rate accordingly.

* Check the impulses/m3 rate and if necessary adjust to the new slide valve position.
* Operation can begin

- All functions, including calculator functions, can be selected during operation. The spread rate

can be altered in 10% degrees in relation to the set rate using the +/- keys.

- If the hydraulic valve is switched off at the end of the field (scraper floor at standstill) the UNI

Control S automatically recognises the working position "off". The working position switch on the
switch box can remain switched on. The area will not be measured and not monitored.

- If a small rest on the sprayer is to be spread in a high gear, the working position switch on the

switch box is to be set at "off". The area and the spread rate will not be recorded. Monitoring is
switched off.

- By pressing the T2 key (end), the order and the following confirmation is concluded.

The recorded data: area operation time, amount spread etc. are now stored.
After this the counters of these data are automatically set to 0 .
New numbers are automatically allocated and the operation procedure can begin again.
