Introduction to the Handbook This handbook provides the information for the operation, adjustment and maintenance of your Standen T2 / T3 CAN-Bus electrical control system. To enable you to achieve the best results from the machine, the manufacturer recommends that you read the handbook thoroughly prior to using the machine for the first time.
INSTALLATION CAN-Bus Control System Installation The harvester CAN-Bus control system will only operate as a complete circuit. The system requires a 12 Volt negative earth power supply fed directly from the tractor battery using only the 50Amp power lead supplied. Red cable to positive (+) and black cable to negative (-).

INSTALLATION Along with the touch-screen service terminal, all of the commonly used ram service controls are repeated on the slave box (see fig 2). Fig 2 Slave box switch functions are listed below: Item 1 - Main system display screen on/off. Item 2 - Start switch for machine control module.
OPERATION Starting the System The control system has to be turned ON and OFF in sequence to allow the touch-screen service terminal to start correctly, and to ensure that the machine control module turns off correctly. On the slave box, press the red rocker switch (item 1, fig 2) to the ON position. The following screen will show on the service terminal when it is ready (see fig 6).
OPERATION Operating and Setting When the system has been turned on, the service terminal will display the default operating screen (see fig 7). Fig 7 Emergency Stop The red and yellow emergency stop pad is present on all the display screens, and is linked electrically to the mechanical emergency stop buttons (item 1, fig 8) mounted at the rear of the harvester.
OPERATION Default Screen In conjunction with the slave box, the default screen (see fig 7) allows the operator direct access to the regularly used functions. Work lights The touch pad turns on the relay in the lighting distribution box. The relay is rated to operate up to 3 x 60 Watt work lights.

OPERATION Agitation Agitator speed is adjusted by selecting the speed box touch pad which will highlight. Rotating the encoder (see fig 1) sets the required speed (clockwise to increase/anticlockwise to decrease), then pressing the encoder in to set and save the revised speed.
OPERATION Screen Select Buttons Down the right-hand side of each screen is a row of common touch pad buttons which allow quick access to the alternative main screens. From each of these screens, links are available to access the parameter and diagnostics for all the functions covered by that screen.
The touch pads operate the master valve and slave valve to move the drawbar right or left. T2 axle side-shift The touch pads operate the master valve and slave valve to slide the axle legs in or out. NOTE: Manual shut-off valves are fitted to each side-shift ram to allow the rams to be selected as required and also to prevent inadvertent operation of the rams during transport.

1.11 OPERATION T2 machine level The touch pads operate the master valve and slave valve to raise or lower the right- hand side of the machine. The machine auto-level touch pad enables signals from the level sensor to automatically maintain the machine level within the mechanical limits of the ram.
OPERATION 1.12 Setting Adjustments and Diagnostic Feedback From the first screen, two further levels of each display are accessible. Service symbol This touch pad is used to switch on the screen for the next level of parameters and the diagnostic level of the control system. Page return When the service levels are selected, this switch pad will appear which is used to return to the previous level on the service terminal.
This is able to be set for each wheel individually to accommodate the alternative wheel sizes that can be fitted to the T2. The control module meters the oil from the two spool valves to ensure that the circumferential speed of the wheels match, thus minimising wheel slip.
OPERATION 1.14 Axle drive flow This is set to match the wheel speed to the forward operating speed of the machine. Axle drive pressure The pressure is set to a lower value to maintain the constant working assistance required and minimising the power used. Chassis and Axle Feedback Screen The feed back screen is used as a diagnostic display which shows the electrical status of the control system.
1.15 OPERATION Master A / Master B The master valve operates proportionally in front of the slave check valves. The display shows the current in mA feeding the proportional coils. The boxes marked ‘SEAT’ show the current in mA feeding the slave check valve coils operating simultaneously. These currents are displayed on all the feedback screens.

The service terminal pads manually raise and lower the digger and the auto-depth pad will turn on the automatic depth control. On the slave box, the rocker switch will manually raise the digger and turn on the automatic depth control.
1.17 OPERATION Digger Depth Control Flow Setting Parameter Screen The depth control has a large set of parameters applied to it, but allows for the operator to fine-tune the machine response to match the broad spectrum of soil conditions encountered. Fig 13 Raise and lower delay Four parameter boxes, for right and left raise and lower, are used to set the delay times...
OPERATION 1.18 Digger Depth Control Feedback Screen Fig 14 Digger raise coils The left-hand and right-hand ‘digger raise’ coils operate together in manual mode, and individually when switched to auto-depth mode. Digger lower coils The left-hand and right-hand ‘digger lower’ coils operate together in manual mode in conjunction with the lower seat valves, and individually with the seat valve when switched to auto-depth mode.
1.19 OPERATION Webs Screen Fig 15 Digger web The touch pad stops and starts the digger web. Speed is adjusted by selecting the speed box touch pad. Web split The front of the sieving web is raised or lowered using the touch pads on the service terminal or the grey rocker switch on the slave box.
OPERATION 1.20 Agitation The agitators are stopped and started using the touch pad on the service terminal or the orange rocker switch on the slave box. Individual shaft stop/start is selected by the touch pads 1, 2, and 3. Agitation speed for all the shafts is adjusted by selecting the speed box touch pad.
