E-Manager MidiThe E-Manager Midi is an electronic control unit for seed and fertiliser metering.

The system regulates, monitors and controls all connected assembly groups of the drill.

CAUTION

Danger of accidents due to wrong operation.

¾ Start operating the E-Manager only after reading the operating instructions.

¾ Observe the Maestro operating instructions in addition!

¾ Familiarise yourself with the E-Manager be-fore commissioning.

¾ Strict compliance with the applicable accident prevention regulations and other generally accepted regulations concerning technical as well as occupational health and safety is mandatory when working with the system.

¾ After switching off the terminal, switch off all hydraulic functions selected from the tractor.

EquipmentThe E-Manager Midi can be operated with all ISOBUS-compatible terminals.

The software is the same for all machines and equipment variants. Only the connected assembly groups must be activated and the corresponding settings must be made.

All components and sensors are connected to computer and terminal by means of the wiring looms. The computer receives the information, evalu-ates these and displays the operating status and data on the terminal.

If entered or fixed default values are exceeded or fallen short of, or in case of faults, the monitor display is interrupted and the fault is indicated.

ComputerAll Maestro are equipped with a master com-puter. In addition, all Maestro with lateral folding or micro-granulate device are equipped with a slave computer. Software version 10.xx is installed on the master computer and version 1.xx (red lids) or 11.xx (grey lids) is installed on the slave computer.Maestro with lateral folding and micro-granulate device have an additional slave computer; the software 3.xx (red lids) or 13.xx (grey lids) are installed on it. The stickers on the computer indicate the hard-ware version and material number.

MaintenanceThe system is maintenance free.

NOTE

Do not clean computers, plugs and any of the electric components and metering units with a high pressure cleaner or direct water jet.

Distinction of folding

Rear foldingFor machine with rear folding, the seed bar is folded behind the seed hopper. The machines are equipped with the small hy-draulics and use an hydraulic pressure switch for the working signal.

Rear folding - example of Maestro 18 SW

Lateral folding For machines with lateral folding, the seed bar is folded and placed to the side on the seed hopper. The machines are equipped with the large hy-draulics and use a potentiometer for the working signal.

Lateral folding - example of Maestro 24 SW

Installing the E-ManagerIf the tractor is equipped with ISOBUS, the machine can be directly connected with the ISOBUS plug.All other tractors must first be fitted with the basic equipment prior to the initial installation.

Installation on tractors with ISOBUS equipmentIn case of existing ISOBUS equipment on the tractor, the drill can be controlled from the tractor terminal or from an additional terminal.

NOTE

For machines with 24 or more rows the cable for the additional electric power supply must be directly connected to the tractor battery.

Control with tractor terminal ¾ Plug the machine connecting cable into the ISOBUS socket on the tractor and switch on the terminal.

¾ If the terminal supports the ISOBUS UT func-tion, the control screens are loaded automati-cally upon activation and the machine can be controlled with the tractor terminal.

Control with additional terminal ¾ Plug the machine connecting cable into the ISOBUS socket on the tractor.

¾ Fasten the terminal at a suitable place in the cabin. The vision on the road should not be impaired.

¾ Connect the terminal to the ISOBUS cabin socket using the supplied cable.

¾ After switching on the unit, the control screens are loaded and the machine can be controlled with the terminal.

¾ To be able to load the control screens on a terminal, the UT function must be activated on the target terminal. The UT function must be deactivated on the auxiliary terminal.

Installation on tractors without ISOBUS equipmentFor all tractors without ISOBUS equipment the basic equipment must be installed in the tractor during the initial installation.

The cables for the basic equipment and the cable for the additional power supply of the motors with the large machines must be directly connected to the tractor battery.

NOTE

The cables must under no circumstances be connected to any other plugs in the cab.

The cables must be protected against chafing and the insulation must not be damaged.

All connections must have good contact with the battery. Assembly faults will lead to voltage drop and indefinable error messages and failures.

WARNING

Danger of traffic accidents due to restricted view. ¾ Mount the terminal so that the view of the road is not interfered with.

Basic equipment ISOBUS

Colour displays

NOTE

The colour bars provide a fast and helpful overview of the drilling quality.Because colour changes are noticed more quickly than numerical values reactions to changes are quicker.

Green bar Green shows data and values in the tolerance range. The tolerance values are determined in the input screens by the operator and must be complied with to ensure successful placement of seed.

Yellow bar When coming close to the tolerance values, the bar will change to yellow. The operator should perceive this as a warning. The reason may be changes of the field of drilling conditions, technical faults or signs of contam-ination and leaks. These causes must be eliminated for the values to lie again within the tolerance limits and to achieve the desired quality in seed placement.

Red bar A red display must be understood as a Stop command. Faults or deviations have occurred causing a seed placement quality that is no longer ac-ceptable. The cause must be eliminated. Deactivating monitoring systems, changing limiting values or ignoring the display does not solve the problem.

Installation

¾ Install the terminal bracket in a suitable place within the view and the operating range of the driver.

¾ Route the thick cable to the battery. ¾ Connect both fuse holders tightly and durably with the cable.

¾ Connect the two red cables tightly and per-manently with the battery positive and the two black cables with the battery negative terminal.

¾ Fasten the ISOBUS socket at the rear end of the tractor. Ensure good access and motion space for the lifting hydraulics.

¾ Fasten the terminal bracket to the back of the terminal and plug the connecting cable into terminal.

NOTE

The associated operating instructions must be followed for operating the terminal.

6 7

Coloured softkeysThe softkeys of active functions appear in green.

Softkeys in light grey cannot be used. These keys will only turn black again and are thus ready for actuation when the operating condition is correct.

Display of softkeysThe softkeys are displayed according to the machine equipment. Softkeys for equipment not installed or configured are not displayed.

Some softkeys change the possible switching function with the operating condition, for exam-ple, the working position.

NOTE

Different screens are displayed even if the soft-ware version is identical. This depends on the equipment features of the machine.

See Row details section.Explanation of the bar displaysThe bars indicate the status of the individual seed rows.The centre of the bars indicates the correct seed placement.The upper half indicates the deviation of the double seeds the lower half the deviation of the missed seeds. The permissible deviation for double and missed seeds in % is stored in the machine data 1 - fruit parameter menu.The height of the bar represents the permis-sible deviation. If the deviations are in the tolerance range, the bars are green; outside the tolerance range the respective half of the bar becomes red.

8. Row 8 shows missed seed deviations outside the tolerance range.

9. Grain monitoring is deactivated in row 13. 10. Row 15 shows double seeds in the toler-

ance range. The display is still red because the tolerance of the deviation from the Nominal grain spacing (17) has been exceeded for this row.

11. In rows 17 and 20 no sowing is done be-cause of the automatic tram line system (4). The rows are hidden in the figure.

12. Single grain metering unit and grain moni-toring are deactivated in row 22. No seed will be placed in this row.

Current display for single grain metering unitThe current consumption of all motors is dis-played here. Increased current consumption frequently causes lower speeds. The cause must be eliminated on the motors and single grain metering units. The upper half of the display shows the current consumption and rotation speeds of the single grain metering motors. The bottom section shows the current con-sumption and rotation speeds of the fertiliser metering units. The speed of the motor is reduced if the current consumption becomes too high. Up to 4 Ampere the current consumption is represented by a green bar.

The current consumption of all single grain metering units should preferably be low and uniform. Increased bar values or fluctuating displays indicate a fault of the metering unit.

If the current consumption is higher than 4 Am-pere for longer than 15 seconds, a warning will appear in the info line and the bar display will change to red. At rates higher than 5 ampere the single grain metering unit additionally reduces its speed.

The total current consumption is displayed in ampere. If for machines with a job computer a current of 45 ampere or for machines with two job computers a current of 90 ampere is applied, a warning signal because of excessive current consumption appears after 10 seconds. The total current consumption indicated may deviate from the actual current consumption.

NOTE

The cause for the excessive current consump-tion must be eliminated to avoid consequential damage or seed faults.

Fertiliser metering motor current displayThe bottom range of the display shows the cur-rent consumption and the rotation speed of the fertiliser metering motors. The current consumption of the metering mo-tors is within the green range up to approx. 11 ampere. A warning signal occurs if the current consump-tion is over 11 ampere for more than one minute. The warning signal repeats as long as the over-load is present.The drive shuts off at a current consumption over 16 ampere. The alarm is signalled. The cause of the fault must be eliminated. For-eign objects are frequently found in the metering unit. The system must subsequently be restarted.

The centre line represents the nominal value for each row. For motors with increased speed the bar rises above the centre line and for hard to move motors the bar ends under the centre line, (as shown in the figure for row 7). If the deviation exceeds the scale value, the bar changes to red (as shown in the figure for row 4). The fault causing this speed drop must be eliminated.

Fertiliser calibration menuCalibration of metering units. In case of several metering units for fertiliser and micro-granular compound switch-ing between the metering units is done with the arrow keys.

The Fertiliser calibration menu is almost identical for Maestro CC and SW. Metering unit 1 for the placement of fertiliser is always present. If the machine is equipped with a micro-granulate facility, the Maestro CC will have another metering unit, the Maestro SW two more. The photos on the following pages show the calibration process on a Maestro SW.

Seed calibrationFor calculating the working speed, the nominal fertiliser quantity must be entered before the calibration process is started. The metering unit must have the correct rotor installed.

Rotor selectionThe size of the rotor depends on:• Amount of fertiliser to be placed.• Working speed• Working width

¾ Follow the quantity tables.The tables indicate the minimum and maximum placing quantities with the available rotor at different working widths and speeds (7, 9 and 12 km/h).

Other rotor sizes for special applications are available on request.

The settings tables are designed for a specific weight of 1 kg/litre. The specific weight must be observed with all fertiliser types. Accordingly, a larger rotor must be installed for a lower specific weight and vice versa.

Fertiliser calibration – electrical metering drive

NOTE

This section refers to calibration with electrical metering motor.

¾ When using a hydraulic metering drive, follow the section Calibration with hydraulic metering drive.

Press the Calibration metering unit 1 soft-key. The menu for fertiliser calibration is displayed.

Calibration speedThe calibration speed can be adjusted in the respective field. A speed of 60 rpm is stored as default. This speed is sufficient under normal conditions. The calibration speed shall approximately correspond to the speed during field work to ensure the filling in the metering cells is roughly the same.

¾ Press the Pre-metering softkey.

Calibration quantityDuring Calibration the calculation basis for exact metering control is determined. The computer needs the fertiliser weight re-moved during calibration as input value. The fertiliser quantity taken should be as large as possible to keep measuring errors low. However, the quantity taken must not exceed 10 kg if the pulling scale supplied is used.

Metering checkThe metering check is a control of the calibration. During drilling the metering accuracy can be test-ed in addition. The same procedure as for seed calibration must be performed for this purpose. The computer retrieves the calibration data from the last seed calibration and uses the revolutions of the new seed calibration to calculate a new value for the calibration quantity. Once the calibration switch has been switched off, this value will be displayed in kg under Cali-bration quantity. If the same fertiliser quantity is used as for the previously performed calibration, the weight of the new calibration must be identical with the default.

¾ Correct the value in case of deviations and check again, if required.

Calibrating micro-granular compoundThe calibration process for micro-granular com-pound is identical with the calibration process for fertiliser.The Maestro CC is equipped with a metering unit for micro-granulate. The Maestro SW comes with two metering units. Metering unit 3 meters the granulate for the left and metering unit 4 for the right side of the machine. The desired granulate quantity is distributed to both metering units by the software. Calibration therefore only needs to be carried out on meter-ing unit 3, which is then automatically transferred to metering unit 4.For machines with slave software 13.02 or higher metering units 3 and 4 can be calibrated separately.

Direct seed calibration inputIf a fertiliser type is used several times, only the initial calibration is required. Calibration factors and installed rotor need to be noted here. When using the same fertiliser again, the value for the calibration factor can be entered directly here.

Direct input may only be used for identical fertil-iser types. The same rotor must also be installed as otherwise a wrong quantity will be placed.

Direct input for liquid fertiliserIf the machine is equipped with a liquid fertiliser system, the calibration factor of approx. 45 puls-es per litre must be entered.

Due to the consistency and density differences the value needs to be adjusted to the actual placing quantity.

¾ Verify the placing quantity. ¾ Check the percentage deviation from the nominal quantity.

¾ Adjust the calibration value by the same percentage.

The deviation can be seen on the Performance data menu page using the calculated quantity in litres compared to the actual quantity placed.If the displayed quantity is lower than that of the actually placed quantity, the calibration value must be reduced and vice versa.

Fertiliser calibration – hydraulic metering driveIf the machine is equipped with a hydraulic me-tering drive, the ball valve used to separate the hydraulic metering drive from the fan circulation, must be closed prior to calibration.

¾ Run the tractor. ¾ Switch on the vacuum fans and, in case of the central hopper, also the Seed on Demand fan and run it with the recommended default values for speed and vacuum. Pay attention to the operating instructions of the Maestro.

¾ Press the softkey to activate all single grain metering units and start the test.

The single grain metering units start running so the metering discs are filled. Now seed counting starts and the discs are rotated by one turn.

The list shows the grains that have dropped for each single grain metering unit during one revolution (1). In addition, the counters with the lowest and the highest numbers of grains are shown at (2).

The number of grains shall correspond to the pitch of the metering discs. This means, for a disc with 21 holes 21 grains shall drop. The deviation should be max. 1 grain or less.

If the grains of the respective row are collected, several grains could also be counted since the test run comprises 1.5 revolutions.

In case of deviations this row can be selected with the arrows and the test repeated with the softkey to start the selected row. The values are updated after the rotation and can be evaluated accordingly.

Incorrect or differences in the settings in the single grain metering unit or dirt can cause deviations. Some fault causes become apparent by a higher current consumption. The values with the high-est deviations (3) are therefore shown.

Acoustic warnings

1. Delay at headlandWhen lifting out the machine, e.g. at the head-land, a horn will sound at regular intervals. Here the time from lifting out to the horn start-ing to sound can be set to max. 99 seconds.The delay should not be chosen longer than is required for reversing the machine, so that an acoustic warning will sound when the machine is not lowered and drilling errors are avoided.

2. Drill function main switchThe audible warning can be activated or deactivated here.The warning sounds when the job computer receives work and speed signal but the main switch is not yet activated.

3. Seeds and VC (=Variation Coefficient)/rowIn case of deviations from the seed count, falling short of or exceeding the alarm limits for the set number of seeds, a warning will appear in the info line.The audible warning accompanying this warning message can be activated or deac-tivated here.

2. The lower tolerance limit for the grain quantity deviation in percent is entered here. If the limit is fallen short of, the corresponding bars will change to red.

3. The upper tolerance limit for the grain quantity deviation in percent is entered here. If the limit is exceeded, the corresponding bars will change to red.

4. The variation coefficient specifies the distri-bution accuracy. For maize the alarm limit is set to 40%. During use this value should be lower than 30%. With uniform seed and correctly adjusted machine, values under 15% can be achieved.

5. Enter the alarm limit for the max. deviation of the nominal seed spacing in cm here.In all rows the deviations of the last second are added and an average will be calculated. If the value entered here is exceeded, the status point on the work screen is displayed in red.

6. The alarm limits for double seeds and faults are entered here. If these limits are exceed-ed, the bars for the corresponding rows will change to red.

7. If the mbar specifications are exceeded or fallen short of, a warning will be issued. The vacuum is different for the different fruit types. In case of an alarm adjust the fan speed and check the vacuum system for leaks. This point is only displayed if yes has been chosen on the Configuration 2 page for vacuum sensors. When going to the Configuration 2 page under the item Vacuum sensors and the option No is selected, the matching lower and upper lim-its for the vacuum are shown in blue. They can be used for orientation when setting the vacuum via the pressure gauge.

Seed flow monitoring

For the fruit types sugar beets and sorghum the display additionally shows a graph for seed flow monitoring.

If under conditions where grain sensors are un-able to count correctly, e.g. dust, foreign objects in the seed, non-uniform seed, the display can be changed here from missed/double seeds display and the variation coefficient to seed flow monitoring.

Here the percentage value for Yellow-Green change can be changed for the following pa-rameters:• Variation coefficient (VK)• Seed quantity in TS/ha• Seed spacingThe standard default is 75%. This means when 75% of the input, end or alarm value is reached, the visual displays will already change from green to yellow. This should warn the driver that certain values, which are important for the seed quality, are coming close to the alarm limit. The driver must eliminate the cause for the alarm and return the values back to the green section.

Own fruit

Depending on the type of fruit, the displays in the work screens can also change. If required own seed types or grain sizes of the same fruit, e.g. Maize big or Maize small, can be saved.

For this purpose a selection must be made from the list Own fruit 1-3.

Tram line control – extendedWith the extended tram line control the control feature decides autonomously whether one or several rows need to be disabled. In addition, it is possible to create spraying tracks and to combine them with tram lines and shift them against each other. Furthermore, there is an automatic optimisation functions, the offset function for shifting the tram lines by a few centimetres. Fewer rows of seeds may thus need to be disabled. More area is utilised effectively.

The metering drive of the outside row must be deactivated to be able continue working.It must be kept in mind here that the machine will now work asymmetrically and the bout markers need to be readjusted.

The working width is reduced according to the deactivated rows. This affects the area calcu-lation as well as the Task Controller and Section Control functions.The fertiliser quantity is reduced in accordance with the working width.

¾ The fertiliser hoses must be manually closed in the distributor tower, otherwise, the reduced fertiliser quantity will still be distributed over the entire working width.

Configuring the metering drive - Status 2A 2 appears on the screen as soon as a metering drive is configured here.A red X appears on the display of the work screen in both halves of the bar.

Metering drive switched off

Metering drives can be disabled as desired.

For the purpose of calculation, the working width remains the same. The grain spacing is reduced during sowing be-cause the number of grains/ha is now distributed over less rows at the same working width.

In the Dickey-John configuration only one sensor can be assigned to each row. For ma-chines where the seed hoses are combined with Y-pieces, not enough sensors can therefore be assigned. Here the number must be changed from 1 to 2 under the item Sensors per row. This makes it possible to assign 2 sensors to one row in the Dickey-John configuration.

After pressing the softkey for automatic sensor assignment once, the softkey (arrow) can also be pressed. This gets the user to the settings page with the assignment of the products to the respective loop:

Settingsloop 1 : fertil.

loop 2 : fertil.

loop 3 : micro

loop 4 : micro

Product assignment to the respective loop

Fertiliser and micro-granular compound can be selected as product. A sensitivity level can be set for the respective product selected. This al-lows selecting the respective loops with different sensitivities.

Setting the sensitivityThe sensitivity setting of the flow sensors can be achieved, depending on the terminal, on the ma-chine data 1 page or the nominal value screen.

Softkey for calling the settings of the flow sensors.

Pay attention to the chapter Status monitoring.

The loop is assessed with one of the two sen-sitivity conductors:

Setting the sensitivity of the fertiliser flow sensors

Sensitivity must be set before starting to sow. Increase the sensitivity with the + button until warning messages from sensors are displayed on the terminal during normal operation (no seed hose blocked). Then adjust the sensitivity backward by one or two levels using the - button until no more warning messages are displayed.

The placement of different media requires dif-ferent settings.

If the sensitivity setting was made correctly, a warning messages is displayed a soon as a fertiliser hose is blocked.

The Dickey-John configuration for a standard machine with even number of rows is now complete.

NOTE

For standard machines with the same number of sensors on both half-widths, no further settings are required. The sensors do not need to be assigned exactly to their actual coulter. They are automatically assigned to the corresponding half-width if the loops are assigned to the correct half-width and the correct metering unit.

CONFIGURATION

Detail assignment

Assignment to the coulter of the re-spective metering unit. The metering unit is represented by the number above the coulter symbol. (Here: Coulter assignment for meter-ing unit 1.)

Allocation of the section.Example: Machines with half-width shut-off have two sections. Section 1 is the left machine half and section 2 the right machine half. The values cannot be changed since they are taken from the machine configuration. Section 1 is displayed for all rows if not half-width shut-off is installed.Assignment of the loop

Assignment of the seed/fertiliser flow sensor.With this assignment it is also not necessary to exactly assign the sen-sor to the respective coulter. It is sufficient when the section and the loop are assigned matching each other.“0” = Sensor not available.

Defective sensorsIf one or more sensors of a loop are defective, the assignment must be set to 0 starting with the highest sensor number. After disconnecting the defective sensor, fertiliser flow monitoring can continue to be operated.

The total output of the machine is shown in the middle of the screen.

1. The quantity counters count the placed amount of products.

2. The total area is increased when the machine is working. The total working width is always counted, even if only half of the sections are active.

3. The total distance and total time are in-creased when the machine is working (work-ing position, speed and seed main switch on) and at least 1 device has a target value greater than zero. Both are not counted up if all products are temporarily deactivated.

4. The operating hours are increased as soon as the job computer is connected to a terminal and the latter is switched on.

This data cannot be deleted.

Switching to the software versions data can be done with this softkey.
