3.2.2 How to install the photocells
Photocells must be placed on each single row of the seed drill close to the seed-
drop area; if seed drills with seed-drop pipes are used, photocells must be placed at
about half the length of the pipe.
To install photocells, proceed as follows:
�
distribute the photocells cables on the seed drill air pipes, respecting the
row numeration (Figure 5): Cable No. 1 corresponds to row 1 on the
Monitor, the No. 2 cable row corresponds to No. 2 on the monitor, etc. ... It
is important that we consider as "row No. 1" on the front row of the planter
(starting from right or left) and the other are connected in sequence. Figure
5 is an example of application of a six-row wiring (cod.CAB-SEM-002) by
selecting the first row of the left of the planter;
�
fix the junction box (A) at the centre of the seed drill with some clamps held
to the machine;
For installation the photocell proceed follows:
�
If the seeding has elements of sowing "high" with pipes that carry the
seeds fall to the ground, are the ones to install photocell cod. 10FOT-
4RXTES (with outside electronics on box) or cod. 10FOT-4RXTIN (with
inside electronics) and must be placed at about half the length of the
tube (Figure 6).
�
If the seeding has elements of sowing "low" and the seed falls to the
ground directly from the disk, the photocells are those to install code.
4228 (stirrup depending on the type of seeding) and be mounted
directly onto the seed.
Warning
make sure that photocells do not obstacle the seed-drop or the
mechanical functioning of the sowing element.
