5COMMISSIONING
5.1 GENERAL INFORMATION CONCERNING THE CONTROLLER
5.1.1 STATUS BAR
The status bar is located in the upper area of the display. The status bar is shown in every menu:
Figure 5
Description of display elements
On the left in the status bar, the current menu is shown. In this case, it is the Work
menu.

7
In the middle of the status bar, there is the APV logo. If errors occur, the logo will be
replaced by the appropriate error message or warning.
On the right side of the status bar, there is the symbol for the current working position or
the current position of the mounted implement.
The mounted implement is in working position.
The mounted implement is not in working position.
Point 6.3.4 describes how the position or the signal of the working position that is used is changed.
5.1.2 STOP BUTTON
The STOP button is provided in every menu. Use this button to execute a general STOP of all motors.
Figure 6
Description of button functions
Gray: No actuators are switched on.
Red: Actuators are switched on and can be stopped with this button.
5.2 BASIC SETTINGS MENU
During initial commissioning or by pressing and holding the Set button in the Start menu for five seconds,
(see also point 6.1), the basic settings are made for the seeder that is used (e.g. setting the implement
type and fan type and seeding shaft motor, etc.).

Figure 7
Description of button functions
The Basic settings menu will be exited without saving the changed settings.
The Basic settings menu will be exited and the changed settings will be saved.
When the settings are changed, the controller restarts.
Press and hold this button for 5 seconds to perform a factory reset, i.e. all settings
will be reset to their original factory values and the Basic settings menu will be
shown again.
Description of display elements
Selection of the implement type. Choose from the following implement types:
PS120E, PS120H, PS200E, PS200H, PS300E, PS300H, PS300E TWIN, PS300H
TWIN, PS500E, PS500H, PS800H, PS1600H or LF600
Here "E" stands for electric fan and "H" stands for hydraulic fan.
Fig.: 5

Selection of the seeding shaft motor or pump (installed in LF600) and its number of
pulses per revolution. For the PS TWIN implement type, a second motor can be
selected.
Note: When selecting the implement type and the seeding shaft motor, the default
values are automatically displayed.
The following default values are stored:
P8 motor (installed in PS120 to PS500, PS TWIN): 378
P17 motor (installed in PS800 to PS1600): 1024
Pump (installed in LF600): 400
Selection of the number of seed types to be sown for implement type PS TWIN:
One seed type (with part-width section function)
Two seed types (over the same working width)
Selection of the existing PS fan. The following selection possibilities are available:
electric fan, electric fan PLUS, hydraulic fan/external fan or no fan (OFF).
When using a hydraulic fan, you must select whether a sensor is installed on the PS for
fan monitoring (speed sensor).
The setting specifies whether a Calibration button is installed on the implement
(available as an accessory).
TIP!
Depending on the selected settings, it is possible that all points will not be requested. The
settings can be changed retroactively, as described in point 5.2.
NOTE!
When opening the Basic settings menu, a STOP is always executed.

screen.
Figure 8
Description of button functions:
In the Work menu, all of the important information for field operation is displayed. Here,
the motors can be switched on or off and information such as forward speed, working
position and seeding shaft speed is displayed. TheWorkmenuis described in more detail
in point 6.2.
The implement settings are entered in the Set menu. Here, a calibration test is performed
and seed is selected or forward speed is calibrated. The Set menu is described in more
detail in point 6.3.
If the button is pressed and held for 5 seconds, the Basic settings menu is called up.
Here, basic settingscan be entered (e.g. motortype or fan type). The Basic settings menu
