READING THE INSTRUCTION
manual and to adhere to it should not appear to
be inconvenient and superfluous as it is not
enough to hear from others and to realise that a
machine is good, to buy it and to believe that now
everything would work by itself. The person con-
cerned would not only harm himself but also
make the mistake of blaming the machine for the
reason of a possible failure instead of himself. In
order to ensure a good success one should go into
the mind of a thing or make himself familiar with
every part of the machine and to get acquainte
d
with its handling. Only this way, you would be
satisfied both with the machine as also with
yourself. To achieve this is the purpose of this in-
struction manual.

4 Layout and function
The following section provides information on the structure of the control terminal and the functions of
the individual components.
The control terminal has 6-digit display (Fig. 3/1).
The control terminal is equipped with an
EEPROM (memory chip) for storing data.
The data are again available for the next use,
even after a long period of deactivation of the on-
board power supply.
Fig. 3
4.1 Operation with DMC Primera direct seed drills
The control terminal issues an alarm when the set minimum fertiliser quantity is reached in the fertilis-
er hopper.
4.2 Rotary cultivator operation
The control terminal monitors the function of the overload clutch.
Acoustic alarm in event of tool carrier standstill.

4.3 Operation with seed drills
The AmaLog+
 measures the covered part area [ha].
 stores the cultivated total area [ha].
 indicates the forward speed [km/h].
 controls the tramline control and the tramline marker
 indicates the position of the hydraulically operated track markers
 initiates an alarm when the set minimum quantity is reached in the tank (fill level sensor re-
quired).
4.3.1 Operation with cam wheel seed drill
For seed drills with tramline control, AmaLog+
monitors the drive of the lay shaft (Fig. 4/1).
Fig. 4

Layout and function
AMALOG BAH0017.6 08.19 15
4.3.2 Operation with pneumatic seed drills
AmaLog+ monitors the tramline control in the dis-
tributor head (Fig. 5/1). An acoustic alarm
sounds in the event of incorrect shutter position.
Fig. 5
AmaLog+ monitors the fan speed.
If the actual speed deviates by more than 10 %
from the target speed, an acoustic signal is initi-
ated and in the display the control lamp (Fig. 6/1)
above the speed symbol (Fig. 6/2) flashes.
The speed monitoring is only active when the
seed drill is working.

4.4 Work display
The work display (Fig. 7) appears with the first
pulse from the distance sensor.
The flashing circle symbol (Fig. 7/1) during work
indicates that
 The control terminal receives pulses from
the distance sensor
 The control terminal is working correctly.
The work display depends on the working situa-
tion [see table (Fig. 8)].

4.6 Creation of tramlines
As described in the operating manual for the seed drill, the tramline control allows the creation of tram-
lines at pre-selected intervals on the field.
When creating the tramlines
 the tramline counter shows the number "0" on the control terminal
 the tramline coulters do not deposit any seeds on the ground.
The required tramline rhythm is obtained from the desired tramline spacing and the seed drill working
width (see seed drill operating manual). All adjustable tramline rhythms can be found in the section
"Table for adjustable tramline rhythms", Seite 39. The tramline rhythm must be entered on the control
terminal (see section "Displaying / altering the tramline rhythm", Seite 26).
The control terminal counts up the tramlines in the tramline counter
 after actuation of the track markers, e.g. before turning at the end of the field
 after the machine is raised (without track markers), e.g. for turning at the end of the field.
The tramline counter can be blocked (see section "Block the tramline counter", Seite 31)
 before raising the track marker, e.g. before an obstacle
 before machine standstill (without track markers), e.g. in the event of a work interruption on the
field.
Before resuming work
 activate the tramline counter
 check the tramline counter display.
