Layout and function Layout and function The following section provides information on the structure of the control terminal and the functions of the individual components. The control terminal has 6-digit display (Fig. 3/1). The control terminal is equipped with an EEPROM (memory chip) for storing data.
Layout and function Operation with seed drills The AmaLog+ measures the covered part area [ha]. stores the cultivated total area [ha]. indicates the forward speed [km/h]. controls the tramline control and the tramline marker indicates the position of the hydraulically operated track markers ...
Layout and function 4.3.2 Operation with pneumatic seed drills AmaLog+ monitors the tramline control in the dis- tributor head (Fig. 5/1). An acoustic alarm sounds in the event of incorrect shutter position. Fig. 5 AmaLog+ monitors the fan speed. If the actual speed deviates by more than 10 % from the target speed, an acoustic signal is initi- ated and in the display the control lamp (Fig.

Commissioning Commissioning Installing the control terminal 1. Screw the bracket (Fig. 11/1) so that is free from vibrations and electrically connected to the right of the driver's position in the tractor cab, within visual range and easy to access (Fig. 11/2). The distance from the radio unit or aerial must be at least 1 m.
Commissioning 2. Insert the power cable (Fig. 13/1) into the bracket and the 12V tractor socket. 3. Connect the bracket and the control termi- nal with the power cable (Fig. 13/2). 4. Couple the seed drill or soil tillage imple- ment to the tractor vehicle (see operating manual for seed drill or soil tillage imple- ment).
Settings Settings Enter implement data The control terminal requires input of the implement data in coded form (see Fig. 14). Refer to the machine data in the table (see section "Machine data table", Seite 37). Digit 1 (1) shows the mode Digit 2 (2) shows the coding Fig.
Settings Displaying / altering the working width 1. Press Display: stored working width [m], e.g. 3.0 m (Fig. 15). 2. Change the working width [m] with the buttons. Fig. 15 3. Press Store the selected value. Displaying / altering the target blower fan speed (during standstill) This setting is only possible for pneumatic seed drills.
Settings Displaying / altering the target blower fan speed (during operation) This setting is only possible for pneumatic seed drills. 1. Press the button (blue). Display of (Fig. 17) current blower fan speed (e.g. 3600 [rpm.]). Fig. 17 2. Press the button and button (yellow) simultaneously.
Settings Calibration value (pulses per 100 m) The control terminal requires the calibration value "Pulses per 100 m" to determine the forward speed [km/h] determine the worked area [ha]. If the calibration value is unknown, determine the "pulses per 100 m" calibration value by means of a calibration run (see section "Determining / storing the calibration value (pulses per 100 m)", unterhalb).
Settings 6. Stop after exactly 100 m. The display (Fig. 20) shows the calibration value (e.g. 1005 imp./100 m). 7. The determined calibration value can be en- tered in the table, Seite 43. 8. Press Store the calibration value (imp./100 m). Fig.
Settings 6.5.3 Calculating the number of crank turns for the calibration test If the calibration value differs from the values in the Table (see Chap. 9.3, Seite 40) recalculate the number of crank turns for the calibration test (see below) ...
