1. “AMADOS-II” and its functions when in use with
seed drills D8, D9, AD, RP-AD and MD8
“AMADOS-II” on the seed drills D8, D9, AD, RP-AD
and MD8
•
calculates automatically the necessary calibration
rate for the actual calibration area (at least 1/40 ha)
(exclusively at drills which are equipped with the
electronic seed rate control).
•
governs the tramlining control and the pre-emergence
marker control (tramlining rhythm freely
programmable, intermitted control for tramlines
possible).
•
monitors the drive of the tramlining control.
•
displays the position of the hydraulically actuated
markers.
•
determines the momentary forward speed in [k.p.h.].
•
monitors the drive of the metering shaft.
•
monitors the drive of the tramlining control switch.
•
monitors the seed level in the seed box.
•
functions as a hectare meter and
•
determines the finished part area in hectares [ha],
•
stores the finished total area in hectares [ha].
•
for seed rate change on varying soil conditions
(+/- control) (chosable steps for the seed rate
increment 1%, 10%, 20% and 30% ) (only possible
when the seed drill is equipped with electronic seed
rate control).
"AMADOS-II" consists in the main of the following
components:
Fig. 3.2/...
1 - Computer.
2 - Basic console with bracket (3).
3 - Bracket.
4 - Electric power cable.
5 - Small distributor "KII" with the movement-sensor
(6) and with the connecting possibility of the sensoric
for metering shaft, tramlining control, marker change
over, pre-emergence markers and seed level
indicator.
5.1- Large distributor "GII" with the movement-sensor
(6) and with the connecting possibility of the sensoric
for metering shaft, tramlining control, marker change
over, pre-emergence markers, seed level indicator
and seed rate control.
6 - Movement sensor (Sensor "X") for distance and
area determination. This sensor provides at the
same time the reference signal (implement operating
"yes"/"no") for the monitoring sensors.
7 - Sensor s "tramlining control".
8 - Metering shaft sensor.
9 - Sensors "automatic marker" (hydraulical).
10 - Implement plug.
"AMADOS-II" is connected with the implement signal
distributor of the seed drill via the implement plug
(Fig. 3.2/10) .
At random:
Seed rate adjustment for “AMADOS-II”, consisting
of:
11 - electric setting motor for engaging and adjusting the
gearbox setting lever position (seed rate) at the two-
range oil bath gearbox.
12 - plug connection allowing simple fitting (when
retrofitting) or dismantling the setting motor.
Pre-emergence marker, electro-solenoid hydraulical
for "AMADOS-II", consisting of:
13 - electro-solenoid hydraulical valve
14 - hydraulical pre-emergence marker.
Seed level indicator, consisting of:
15 - a capacitive sensor (may be supplemented by one
further sensor connected to distributor “GII”) which
releases visual and audible alarm signals on the
“AMADOS-II”.
