It is extremely important to read these instructions in good time before the season of use begins. Keep the manual in a safe place where it is easily available. Both Tume-Agri Oy, as the manufacturer, and the authorised reseller will be happy to help you with any issues related to the machine.
• Ensure that the Agrocont system is only used by authorised personnel. You should be especially careful to ensure that those not permitted to use the system, such as passengers, do not touch the control unit in the cab while you are in the machine’s danger zone.
Programs, setting values and measurement results will remain in the memory of the Agrocont system even if the power is switched off. Thus, the power supply may be switched off by disconnecting the plug when the machine is not in use. However, when continuing to use the machine after the power has been disconnected you should check the settings for amounts of feeding and the value in the tramline counter.

Placing the monitor in the cab The Agrocont monitor is designed to be used only in tractors with a cab. Over the course of the season of use, it is recommended to leave the monitor in place in the cab. When a seeder or seeder fertilizer is detached from the tractor, you should not disconnect anything except the data cable from the back of the tractor.
To attach the connector, press it lightly and turn the locking part. When the system power is switched on, Agrocont’s preset values appear on the display immediately after the system has loaded. When the system is started again, the values on startup will be those stored in the memory from when you last used the system.

Hectare counters HA and dHA When you press this key, the total seeded area and the resettable partial areas (1 dha and 2 dha) appear on the screen one at a time, with hectare as the unit of measurement. You can reset the partial area values by pressing the “stop/ok” key and the pole-lifting key (8) continuously for 3 seconds (cf.
The lower the container is lowered, the higher the down-pressure. Agrocont stops the lowering at a set height. This height limit can be adjusted by changing settings. The...

Down- pressure value (1-15) Figure 12. Down-pressure value P=11 Figure 13. Maximum down-pressure P=15 Adjusting down-pressure while seeding The down-pressure value mentioned above is the lowest limit value, which determines when the system will stop the hydraulic lowering of the machine. The down-pressure of the machine can be decreased during driving and increased again using hydraulics at areas where the pressure is lower than the maximum down- pressure set.
To save the desired value, press the Stop/OK key, after which the Agrocont system’s basic view will reappear on the screen. Vega: The lift height for the low-lift function is adjusted mechanically with the detent pin of the seed fertilizer’s three-way valve.
Extra-lift function The extra-lift function is controlled with the 8 key. A red light above the key indicates that the feature is switched on. When the extra-lift function is on, the system allows only the marker to be raised/lowered when you try to hydraulically raise or lower the seeder.

• Automatic marker-change function: When the seeder is raised, first deactivate both markers, then activate the marker you wish to be lowered first, and then activate the other marker. Consequently, when seeding, the markers will be lowered in turn after field-end turns. •...
This function is needed, for example, when using certain pesticides for Turnip rape. In Tume, the marking is carried out in such a way that in the stage following the stage one of furrowing (such as stage 1 / 4, 1 / 5 etc.), both coulters come down and one coulter draws a line to the centre of the previously sown furrow stage.
9 Configuring settings for seeder fertilizer Working width Working width and advance distance: press the Stop/OK key and the right marker key (number 10) simultaneously. The advance distance will appear on the top row of the display and the working width on the bottom row. The values are displayed in centimetres.

Monitoring and alarms The Agrocont system monitors the levels of seed and fertilizer containers and the rotation of seed and fertilizer shafts. Container monitoring activates an alarm when the level of seed or fertilizer is low enough to leave the sensor in the seed or fertilizer container completely exposed.
Figure 21. Agrocont Plus 10.1 Usage The Agrocont Plus model has all the functions of the basic model as well as an electric remote control for fertilizer feed. This function is implemented by substituting the standard fertilizer-shaft butt-adjustment wheel for an electric spindle engine and mechanism.

12 Seeder connecting box The connecting box mounted to the front-side of the seeder comprises the processor unit of the Agrocont system, to which the monitor, power supply, sensors, solenoids for the tramlining device and low-lift, electro-hydraulics for the coulters, and, in Nova models, the lift/down-pressure control are attached.
12.1.1 Advance sensor’s indicator This LED light blinks when the sensor in the rear wheel sends a signal to indicate that the wheel is rotating. 12.1.2 Fertilizing-shaft rotation indicator This LED lights blinks when the fertilizing-shaft rotation control sensor sends a signal to indicate that the shaft is rotating.
The connecting box attached to the front side of the seeder has, in addition to the processor unit, a relay controlling the tramlining device’s solenoids, and fuses (20 A) for the tramlining device and for the rest of the system (10 A). System fuse 10 A Figure 25. Connecting box for Tume Titan...
Repair and software updating should only be performed by an authorised Tume service agent. Do not open the casing of the monitor or working-machine controller by yourself. Do not perform any maintenance operations on the equipment inside the monitor or working-machine controller.
