Page 56: Layout And Function
The Centaya can be equipped with a choice of RoTeC-Pro Control coulters or TwinTeC double disc coulters (Fig. 33/2). The seed falls into the seed furrow prepared by the coulters. In combination with the AMAZONE rotary cultivator or the CombiDisc compact disc harrow, mulch seeding is possible with both coulter types.
Page 57 Layout and function The roller serves to reconsolidate the soil. AMAZONE provides the suitable roller for any seed type and any soil. The Centaya Super may only be combined with the approved AMAZONE rollers, see chapter "Approved AMAZONE implement combinations", page 50.
Page 58 Layout and function The AMAZONE KWM wedge ring roller with ma- trix tyre profile is characterised by two particular- ly good features. The wedge ring roller with ma- trix tyre profile has particularly good self- propulsion and produces lots of fine soil to fill the seed rows.
Page 59: Amazone Amadrill 2 Control Terminal
The ISOBUS system makes it possible to connect the implement to any ISOBUS control terminal. If the tractor has an ISOBUS system, the AMAZONE job computer can be connected to the existing ISOBUS socket of the tractor and operated with the on-board terminal.
Page 60: Amazone Amatron 4 Control Terminal
Layout and function 5.3.1 AMAZONE AmaTron 4 control terminal As an option, the combination can be delivered e.g. with the AMAZONE AmaTron 4 control ter- minal. The AmaTron 4 control terminal (Fig. 40) can operate all implements that are equipped with the ISOBUS system.

Page 64: Fill Level Monitoring
Layout and function 5.5.1 Fill level monitoring A low level sensor (Fig. 49/1) monitors the seed level in the seed hopper. If the seed level reaches the low level sensor, an acoustic signal is emitted. At the same time, the control terminal displays a warning message.
Page 65: Metering
Layout and function Metering The seed is metered by a metering roller in the metering unit. The metering roller can be re- placed. Fig. 50 An electric motor (Fig. 51/1) drives the metering roller (full metering). The metered seed falls into a sluice (Fig. 51/2) and is directed by the air flow to the distributor head and then to the coulters.

Page 72: Calibrating The Seed Rate
Layout and function 5.6.3 Calibrating the seed rate When calibrating the seed rate, the later field pass is simulated. The metering roller speed required to spread the desired seed rate is calculated [kg/ha]. The metering roller speed is calculated from the simulated area (e.g. 1/40 ha) and the weight [kg] of the collected material.

Page 75: Blower Fan
Layout and function Blower fan The blower fan (Fig. 60/1) generates the air cur- rent that carries the seed to the seeding coulters. The hydraulic motor (Fig. 60/2) drives the blower fan. The control terminal displays the current fan speed and issues an alarm if there is a deviation from the nominal speed.
Page 76 Layout and function Fig. 63 The blower fan speed determines the air volume of the air current. The higher the blower fan speed, the greater is the air volume generated. The required blower fan speed (Fig. 63/1) depends on the seed ...
Page 77: Distributor Head
Layout and function Distributor head The distributor head serves to distribute the metered material evenly over all of the coulters. For this purpose, the distributor head has indi- vidual segments. The metered material is evenly distributed over all of the segments in the distrib- utor head, and is carried to the coulters through the connected seed line tubes.
Page 78: Seed Tube Monitoring
Layout and function 5.8.1 Seed tube monitoring The seed tube hoses represent the connection between the distributor head and the coulters. Each seed tube hose can be equipped with a sensor (Fig. 66/1) that detects the seed flow. A warning message is issued when the seed flow in a monitored seed line hose is interrupted or large deviations occur in the flow rate between the monitored seed line hoses.
Page 79: Spreading Seed With Wide Row Spacing
Layout and function Spreading seed with wide row spacing For spreading seed with wide row spacing, e.g. maize, individual seed rows can be closed. The seed flow is interrupted to the coulters that are not required. The seed lines in the distributor head are closed with the plugs (Fig.

Page 82: Twintec Double Disc Coulter
Layout and function 5.11 TwinTeC double disc coulter The TwinTeC double disc coulter (Fig. 73/1) is used for plough seeding and mulch seeding. Harvest residues are cut by the large double disc coulters, clearing the plant residues evenly to the side and forming a clean seed furrow.
Page 83 Layout and function The seed placement depth depends on the factors  Soil type (light to heavy)  Forward speed  Set seed placement depth  Set coulter pressure. The placement depth and the coulter pressure can be adjusted independently from one another. The coulter pressure can reach 60 kg per coulter.
Page 84: Seed Placement Depth (Twintec)
Layout and function 5.11.1 Seed placement depth (TwinTeC) Implements with TwinTeC double disc coulters The seed placement depth is adjusted with the central key. Fig. 75 Turn clockwise (+): deeper placement Turn counter- clockwise (-): shallower placement The scale (Fig. 76/1) displays the set working depth in percent.
Page 85: Coulter Pressure, Seed Rate Increase And Coulter Lift (All Coulter Types - Hydraulically Actuated)
Layout and function 5.12 Coulter pressure, seed rate increase and coulter lift (all coulter types - hydraulically actuated) Adaptation of the coulter pressure to the soil is required to achieve uniform seed placement depth on different soils. The hydraulically actuated coulter pressure adjustment allows the coulter pressure to be adapted to the soil during operation, when changing to heavy soil.
Page 86: 5.12.1.2 Activating The Seed Rate Increase
Layout and function 5.12.1.2 Activating the seed rate increase Implements with  RoTeC-Pro control coulters and  TwinTeC double disc coulters The seed rate can be increased on heavy soils for a uniform crop. The control terminal serves to enter the desired rate increase.

Page 91: Seeding Without Exact Following Harrow (Exact Following Harrow Lift)
Layout and function 5.13.3 Seeding without exact following harrow (exact following harrow lift) The exact following harrow can be lifted inde- pendently of the position of the coulters. A hydraulic cylinder (Fig. 90/1) lifts the exact fol- lowing harrow. Depending on the implement equipment, actua- tion of the exact following harrow lift with a trac- tor control unit is possible in 2 variations.
Page 92: Seed Pre-Metering
Layout and function 5.14 Seed pre-metering Seed pre-metering, which meters the seeds in the air current before the implement starts up, can be switched on in the ISOBUS control terminal. Seed pre-metering is used when corners are to be seeded that can only be reached when the imple- ment is being reversed or with raised coulters.
Page 93: Tramlines
Layout and function 5.16 Tramlines Tramlines can be created on the field. Tramlines are seed-free tracks for fertilising and plant care implement used later. The tramline can also be created as an interval tramline. In doing so, the tramline is seeded in recurring freely selectable intervals.
Page 94 Layout and function Fig. 94 With tramline control, tramlines (A) can be created on the field. When creating a tramline, a display appears on the control terminal. The adjustable tramline spacing (b) corresponds to the working width of the cultivating implement (B), e.g.

The partition walls interrupt the seed supply to the right or left half of the implement respectively.
Page 101: Tramline Marker
Layout and function 5.17 Tramline marker The tramline marker has two track discs, which lower automatically when the tramlines are created. The track discs mark the tramline that has just been created. This makes the tramlines visible before the seed has germinated. The track discs are raised if no tramline is created.
