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
The console won't switch on
The row cut-offs aren't working
Faulty row alarm + high and low
population alarm.
Voltage alarm
Marking configuration alarm
Row allocation configuration
alarm
Forward speed absence alarm
Self-diagnostic alarm
The element does not engage (on
rows fitted with disengageable
heads)
The element does not engage (on
rows fitted with disengageable
heads)
Probable causes
-The fuse is burnt out.
-Faulty battery connections.
-Faulty battery cables.
-Insufficient battery voltage.
-Faulty console.
-Inverting of the battery's polarity.
-The marking sequences are not set
-Marking has stopped
-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.
-The sower element is faulty.
-The sensor is fouled.
-Faulty sensor or wire harness
-Voltage too low
-Poor quality battery connection
-Damaged wire harness
-The marking is not correctly configured.
-Faulty sensor
-Incorrect allocating of rows
-Faulty console
-Speed sensor fault.
-Faulty console
-Faulty console
-The disengageable heads is faulty.
-The electrical connection is faulty.
-The electromagnet is faulty.
-Check the fuse. If it is burnt out, replace it with a new 7.5 Amp fuse.
If it burns out again, check that the wire harness has not been cut-off or
damaged. Otherwise, contact our after-sales service team.
-Clean and retighten the connections.
-Replace or repair the cables in an appropriate way.
-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
-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
passage number should not be highlighted. If this is the case, press the
marking key to start marking again.
-Move from the OFF position to passage N° 1 by pressing the right
arrow key when you are on the working screen.
-The module should be connected to the console and the battery (6 pin
connector + 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).
-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.
-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.
-The marking's configuration does not correspond to the row cut-offs
installed on the seeder.
-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.
-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.
-Contact our after-sales service team.
- Contact our after-sales service team.
-Check the electrical connection (see III-7 ).
