3.3.3 Seed sensor and the wiring harness installation
The seed sensors must be positioned on each single row of the seed drill so that
when the seed falls, it passes through the two seed sensor elements.
To install the wiring harness proceed as follows:

distribute the wiring harness cables fastening them to the seed drill's air pipes
with clamps, paying attention to the numbers on the cables near the
connectors: cable no. 1 corresponds to row no. 1 of the Monitor, cable no. 2
corresponds to row no. 2 of the Monitor, etc... It is important to consider the
seed drill's first row (starting from either right or left) as "no. 1 row" and that the
other be connected in sequence: Figure shows an example of a six-row wiring
harness application taking the first row on the left of the seed drill, as
reference;

position the junction box (A) at the centre of the seed drill, fastening it with
clamps;
To install the seed sensors proceed as follows:

If the sowing elements of the seed drill are “high” with the dropping pipes that
bring the seeds to the ground, the seed sensors to be installed are code
10FOT-4RXTES (with external electronics) or 10FOT-4RXTIN (with internal
electronics) and must be placed at about half the length of the pipe itself.

If the seed drill has "low" sowing elements and the seed falls directly from the
disc to the ground, the seed sensors to be installed depend on the type of seed
drill and must be directly fitted on the sowing element Figure , following the
indications on the datasheet attached to this manual (
N.B. the datasheet is
specific to the brand and model of the seed drill used).
!
Warning
make sure that seed sensors do not obstacle the seed-drop or the
mechanical functioning of the sowing element.
