V. MAINTENANCE and TROUBLESHOOTING
Your sowing controller is above all an electronic device. As such it needs to be treated with care. When sowing
is complete, it must be stored in a dry place.
If the cells are fouled, they must be cleaned with a soft brush.
WARNING: Disconnect the console’s power supply before performing any welding operations on the
tractor or seeder, to prevent the system from being damaged.
Symptom Probable causes Solutions
The console won't switch on -The fuse is burnt out.
-Faulty battery connections.
-Faulty battery cables.
-Insufficient battery voltage.
-Faulty console.
-Inverting of the battery’s polarity.
- Check the fuses of the tractor’s harness. If they are burnt out, replace
them with new 15 and 30 A fuses.
If they get burnt out again, check that the electrical harness is not cut or
damaged otherwise contact our after-sales service team.
- Clean and tighten connections again.
- Change or repair cables appropriately.
- Check that the battery’s voltage is at least 10 volts. Otherwise,
recharge or replace the battery.
-Contact our after-sales service team
-Correctly connect the wires to the battery
The row cut-offs aren't working -The marking sequences are not set
-The row cut-off module on the seeder is
not receiving power (none of the diodes
are lit)
-The row cut-off module is no longer
communicating with the console (quick
flashing, 2/sec)
-The solenoids are connected to the
seeder’s ground.
-If the row cut-offs work in manual mode, but don’t work in marking
mode, check the programming of the console. Check the passage
progress mode (metering through grain stoppage). If the console is
correctly programmed, check that marking has not been paused.
-The module should be connected to the console and the battery (6 pin
con 2 pin connector)
-The row cut-off module should be connected to the console (6 pin
connector)
-Use the module’s internal ground instead of the seeder's ground
(connect the two wires to each solenoid).
Faulty row alarm + high and low
population alarm. -The sower element is faulty.
-The sensor is fouled.
-Faulty sensor or wire harness -Check the sower element
-Clean the sensor with a brush.
-Swap the faulty sensor’s connection with a neighbouring sensor, then
check whether or not the problem is repeated.
Voltage alarm -Voltage too low
-Poor quality battery connection
-Damaged wire harness -The battery’s minimum voltage should be 10 volts.
-Clean and retighten the connections.
-Repair or replace the cables. The sensors’ red wires (+ 8 volts) must
not be touching the ground or the seeder’s frame.
Marking configuration alarm -The marking is not correctly configured. -The marking’s configuration does not correspond to the row cut-offs
installed on the seeder.
Row allocation configuration
alarm -Faulty sensor
-Incorrect allocating of rows
-Faulty console
-The console detects a number of sensors that does not correspond to
the console's programming. Check that all the sensors are detected
when the console is switched on. Replace any faulty sensors.
-When it is switched on, the console detects a number of sensors that
does not correspond to the console’s programming. Reprogram the
console.
-Contact our after-sales service team.
Forward speed absence alarm -Speed sensor fault.
-Faulty console
-No speed signal has reached the console although at least one sensor
has detected the passing of grains. Check the speed sensor and its
wiring.
-Contact our after-sales service team.
Self-diagnostic alarm -Faulty console -Contact our after-sales service team.
The element does not engage (on
rows fitted with disengageable
heads) -The disengageable heads is faulty. - Contact our after-sales service team.
The element does not engage (on
rows fitted with disengageable
heads) -The electrical connection is faulty. -Check the electrical connection (see III-6).
-The electromagnet is faulty. - Contact our after-sales service team.
