3.0 DESCRIPTION
The system GENIUS is used to manage distribution of a specific product (seeds and/or fertilizers) and to simultaneously check
correct operation of the main parts making up the seed dispensing mechanism. The main functions of this system are:
- setting and changing the quantity of product to be distributed;
- checking the rotation of cam shafts;
- checking the product level in the hopper;
- managing the TRAMLINING function – (only for CENTAURO and PA1 seed versions);
- checking the rotation of the cardan shaft in the rear rotating harrow (only for CENTAURO and PA1 seed versions);
- measuring and viewing the WORK SPEED;
- viewing the ROTATION SPEED of the FAN and corresponding min. and max. speed alarm;
- viewing the quantity of distributed product, the total and partial drilled hectares.
The system consists in a programming-control panel (GENIUS control unit), an electric motor which transfers rotary motion to the
metering unit installed on the machine, a speed sensor and a set of alarm sensors (see diagrams on pages 8, 9, 10 and 11).
NOTE: - The electric system must be powered by the 12V battery of the tractor through the connection cable supplied.
- We recommend installing the monitor facing the operator so that it is more user-friendly during operation.

4.0 PROGRAMMING AND USE
When the monitor is switched on, it shows the MAIN page (Fig. 15), which is commonly used during operation. Use the buttons (F in
Fig. 1) to view the following pages: RATE page where the quantity parameters of product to be distributed are set; SETUP page for
programming purposes; INFO page for consulting the number of hectares drilled and the product quantity distributed.
4.1 MAIN PAGE
This page is divided into 5 areas where the following parameters are
displayed (Fig. 15):
1) working speed;
2) status of TRAMLINING system;
3) fan rotation speed;
4) current metering (kg/ha);
5) motor operation;
6) motor ON/OFF: this parameter is used to manually stop or resume
seed dispensing when required;
7) “pre-start” function: to prepare the equipment for the first metres
of seed dispensing;
8) stop automatic count of passes for tramlining;
9) manual count of passes for tramlining.
Note! The motor operation parameters may change according to
seed dispensing configurations (Fig. 16):
A) two products (seeds-fertilizers) using two independent motors;
B) one single product using two motors.
4.1.1WORKING SPEED
The working speed displayed is the average speed calculated every 3 seconds.
The system is supplied with an alarm indicating low or high working speed:
- when the equipment is in work position and its speed is inferior to 0.5 km/h, a warning light
blinks on the MAIN page (Figure 17), and a buzzer goes off;
- when the equipment is in work position and its speed exceeds the admissible dispensing
speed range, a warning light blinks on the MAIN page (Figure 18), and a buzzer goes off.
When a new metering value is set on the RATE page, the system calculates and shows the
new max. working speed at which the machine can distribute the product (Fig. 19). Speed
iscalculatedaccording to the quantity of product tobedistributed,thedrill width, the calibration
and max. motor rotation speed.
The actual quantity of product that the pneumatic system on the machine can dispense
depends on the drill width and the working speed as illustrated in the following diagrams
(Table 2 and Table 3).
Note! Press the function key near the icon (A in Fig. 19) to go back to the RATE page.

g
cod. G19502880 41
4.2 RATE PAGE
The RATE page (Fig. 20) serves to set the quantity of product to be distributed.
During operation, this page is used to change the quantity of product to be distributed per hectare (Kg/Ha or grains/m²).
Note: the unit must be set on the SETUP page.
The RATE page shows the following:
1) the current metering value;
2) the metering setpoint;
3) the difference between current metering value and setpoint (in
percentage);
4) the step set to change the metering quantity;
5) two function buttons + and – (C in Fig. 1) to manually change the
metering value with the step setpoint (this value is set in the
SETUP page, “Customise” menu);
6) the Reset button, which is used to reset the current metering
value against the setpoint;
7) the max. working speed within which the current metering value
is applicable.
4.2.1SETTINGTHEMETERINGVALUE
On the RATE page, enter the new value using the numeric keypad (H in Fig. 1). Then, press ENTER to confirm.
The display now shows the max. working speed allowed by the metering system.
WARNING: the actual quantity of product that the pneumatic system on the machine can dispense depends on the drill width and
the working speed as illustrated in the diagrams on page 13 (Table 2 and Table 3).
Another possible solution for changing the metering value is the “step” (percentage increment) function. The increment value must
be preliminarily set on the SETUP page.
Any changes of the metering value against the setpoint triggers a blinking light on the display.
The new value also appears on the MAIN page, which is commonly used during operation.
Press the function button to reset the metering setpoint.

SETUP OPERATORSETUP Drill Setup « »
If the operator knows the Cal Factor or T.G.W. values, he can enter them directly in the
system in menu « » (Fig. 31) without undergoing the Cal test.
The display shows the following constant parameters (Fig. 32):
•Cal Fact: this is the product metering factor equal to the quantity (kg) of product obtained
with one turn of the metering roller. If this value is known, enter it using the keypad. Press
ENTER to confirm or run a “cal test” as instructed below.
•T.G.W. (“thousand grain weight”): this is the weight of 1000 seeds. Enter the actual weight
of 1000 grains using the numeric keypad. Then, press ENTER to confirm. This parameter
must only be set if “grains/ml” is the selected unit (see section 4.4.1 “Customise”).
•Max Sp: this is the max. working speed to guarantee correct seed distribution (it is
automatically calculated by the system).
•: this procedure is used to correct the product metering factor (Cal Fact): it can be
applied only after 1 ha of drilled area.
NOTE: this procedure IS NOT RECOMMENDED!!! Adhere to the procedures described
below (section 4.5.1).
•: this procedure is used to correct the product metering factor (Cal Fact) with reference
to a desired quantity of product set in the system.
According to this procedure, start the motor by pressing the ENTER button, and collect the
set quantity of product in a container.
Stop the motor and weigh the collected product. Then, use the keypad to enter the net value
of the product weight.
Press ENTER twice to confirm the parameter value. The display shows the test results, i.e.
the previous and the new metering factor, the correction percentage and the new max.
speed calculated.
Press ENTER to confirm or ESC to cancel the operation.
SETUP OPERATORSETUP Cal Check « »
This procedure is used to correct the product metering factor (Cal Fact) (Fig. 33).
This is the same procedure as that described in the section “Drill Setup”.
SETUP OPERATORSETUP Alarms « »
This menu is used to set the alarms regarding fan rotation and hopper level (Fig. 34 & 35).
Enter the following parameters:
- alarm: min. threshold for fan rotation (see Table 5);
- alarm: max. threshold for fan rotation (see Table 5);
- alarm: hopper level: ON / OFF.
Press the buttons to find the desired parameter. Enter the new values recommended
in Table 5 using the keypad. Then, press ENTER to confirm.
Press the button to enable (ON) or disable (OFF) the hopper level alarm.
