PRECIMAT

Functions

The falling corn seeds are detected by the optosensor (infra-red barrier). Each seed triggers a pulse in the on-board integrated display/controller, which monitors each row for a predefi ned target rate. If the deviation from the target rate is more than 15 %, an acoustic and visual alarm is issued. The number of the faulty seeding unit is shown on the display along with the seeds/ha (x 1,000). In addition, a pointing arrow appears above the seeding unit icon. Pre-selection is made with the “Switch on/shut off from the left or right” buttons. The “- button” is used to shut off and the “+ button” for switching on.

The PRECIMAT also determines the following data:

• Bearbeitete Fläche pro Auftrag
• Total area per task
• Total area per season
• Speed
• Working time
• Area output (work rate)
• Distance

System components

• On-board integrated display/controller (installed in the tractor cab) for entering the required data and monitoring. In the case of a fault, an acoustic and visual alarm is triggered.
• Implement junction box (installed on the seeder frame) with a connecting cable to the on-board integrated display/controller.
• Optosensor (installed on the bottom part of the casing of each seeding unit) with a connecting cable to the implement junction box
• Wheel sensor to determine the driven distance
• Cable to the shut-off clutches
