Quality for Professionals

It may NOT

seem inconvenient and unnecessary to read and

observe the operating instructions. It is not enough

to hear and see from others that an implement is

good, and then to buy it and believe that everything

takes care of itself. The person concerned would

then not only cause damage to himself, but also

make the mistake of assuming that the cause of any

problems is due to the implement, instead of

himself. To ensure success, one has to go into the

spirit of things, and instruct oneself about the

purpose of all equipment on the implement and gain

experience with its handling. Only then can one be

satisfied both with the implement and oneself. These

operating instructions aim to achieve this.

1 Warranty

Please check the implement for any transport damage immediately upon receipt.

Later claims regarding transport damage can no longer be considered.

We provide a one-year factory warranty as of the date of delivery (your invoice or the

delivery slip serve as a warranty certificate).

This warranty is applicable for cases of material or construction faults and does not

include parts that are damaged by normal or excessive wear.

The warranty expires

−if damage is caused by external forces (e.g. opening of the controller),

−if the control box is opened,

−in cases of operating errors,

−if the prescribed requirements are not met,

−if the implement is modified, expanded or equipped with third-party spare parts

without our permission.

2 Quick start

2.1 Scope of delivery and attachment

Fasten the standard supplied bracket with two bolts in the tractor cab.

TIP: Pay attention to the angle at which you look at the control module, to be able to

read the display optimally. If necessary, bend the bracket slightly to adjust the angle

as required.

CAUTION: if possible, do not roll up the cable into a coil!

2.2 Electrical connection

The standard supplied cable can be

directly connected to the 3-pin standard

socket of the tractor in the cab. The other

end is connected to the control box.

The fuse (25 A) is located on the right side

of the control box.

Stow the excess cable in the driver's cab to

avoid pinching.

TIP: If your tractor does not have a standard socket, it can be fully retrofitted with the

complete cable set for power socket, tractor retrofitting, 8-m long (item no. 00410-2-

022) (accessory).

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

The 12 volt power supply must NOT be connected to the socket for the cigarette

lighter!

CAUTION: If these instructions are not observed, damage may be caused to the

control box!

CAUTION: If your battery is charged by a charger that is in "Start" operating mode,

there can be voltage peaks! These can cause damage to the electrical system of the

control box if it is also connected when the battery is being charged!

2.4 Starting up the implement

After switching on the implement with the on/off button, the control lamp above the

button lights up. This shows that the supply voltage is available.

As long as the on/off button is held, the software version is displayed. E01 =Software

1.1; E02= Software 1.2. This may be necessary in case of customer service.

You can now use the rotary knob on the left to adjust the speed of the blower fan /

spreading plate. The rotary knob on the right is used to adjust the speed of the

seeding shaft.

When you press the blower fan button, the fan motor (or the spreading plate on the

MDS) will start running.

As soon as you press the seeding shaft button, the seeding shaft starts rotating at

the set speed and you can start seeding.

2.5 Operation on the field

To begin sowing, press the seeding shaft button.

1st Stage: the LED control lamp beside the blower fan button flashes (the blower fan

motor or spreading plate is starting up).

2nd Stage: after a few seconds, the LED control lamp beside the blower fan button

lights up (blower fan motor is running).

3rd Stage: when the green LED control lamp beside the seeding shaft button lights

up, the gear motor that turns the seeding shaft and conveys the seed is switched on.

When you are turning at the headlands, you only have to press the seeding shaft

button so that the green LED control lamp is turned off. This stops the seeding shaft

and only the fan motor is still running.

When finishing work, press the on/off button on the control box to switch off the fan

motor and the seeding shaft. The LEDs are turned off and the control box is switched

off.

2.6 Calibration test

First determine the required speed for the seeding shaft based on the calibration

table (this can be found in the operating manual for the spreader).

The calibration test is started by pressing and holding the seeding shaft button for

3 seconds. The implement beeps once.

PLEASE NOTE: Always ensure that the blower fan is switched off before starting the

calibration test.

Quality for Professionals

After starting, the seeding shaft begins rotating without the fan motor for exactly one

minute.

The calibration test can be terminated at any time by pressing the seeding shaft

button or the on/off button on the control box.

If necessary, correct the seeding shaft speed and repeat the procedure.

TIP: refer to the respective operating manual of the seed drill to find out how to

prepare the seed drill for the calibration test.

2.7 Emptying the hopper

You can begin draining the hopper by pressing and holding the seeding shaft button

for 6 seconds when the seeding shaft is powered off. After 3 seconds, the calibration

test begins (1 short beep). By pressing and holding the button for an additional 3

seconds, the module switches to drain mode - the seeding shaft turns at full speed

(short beep 2 times)

You can stop a running function at any time by pressing the blower fan button or

on/off button.

2.8 Spreading disc speed chart

2.9 Automatic implement shut-off

When the control box is switched on and no button is pressed and the seeding shaft

is not switched on within 1.5 hours, the control box is switched off automatically.

3 Status messages and possible solutions

3.1 Controller messages

Error messages must be acknowledged with the on/off button and the spreader is

then switched off.

The following error messages can be displayed:

CAUTION: If your battery is charged by a charger that is in "Start" operating mode,

there can be voltage peaks! These can cause damage to the electrical system of

the control box if it is also connected when the battery is being charged!

if objects are blocking the blower

fan / spreading plate or impeding

their operation.

E03

Is displayed when the motor (fan or

spreading plate) is connected and

not overloaded, but still does not

rotate.

For hydraulic fan with pressure

switch or pressure sensor: the fan is

not running or is not sending a signal

to the pressure switch/speed sensor.

For hydraulic fan: Switch on the

hydraulic fan.

Please contact customer service.

E04

Is displayed when the operating

voltage is too low.

Reduce the consumers, check

battery; check cabling, check

alternator

Quality for Professionals

3.2 Assistance in the event of problems

Problems: Possible remedy:

No display after pressing

the on/off button.

•

Check whether the power cable is properly inserted

into the control box and is also connected to the

correct terminals on the battery.

•CAUTION: Faulty connection or removal of the

flying fuse on the positive terminal of the power

cable can result in damage to the control box!

Hydraulic fan is running,

E03 is still lit.

•

Is there no pressure switch installed? Programming,

see point 7.

4 Cleaning

Use a dry cloth to clean the control box.

Do not use any aggressive solvent! This may damage the implement.

5 Decommissioning, storage and disposal

5.1 Decommissioning the implement

Switch off the control box using the on/off button. Disconnect the control box from the

power supply after use.

5.2 Storage

The control box must be stored in a dry location protected from weather conditions.

5.3 Disposal

Disposal of the implement must be performed according to the local disposal

regulations for machines.
