DrillManager Maistro
The HORSCH DrillManager for Maistro is an
electronic control unit for a individual row grain
drill and its components.
When using the Maistro individual row grain
drill in combination with a seed wagon, the
DrillManager can be used to place solid ferti-
liser electronically controlled and metered at
the same time.
The DrillManager thereby regulates and moni-
tors all components, which are important for the
placement of fertiliser and the exact placement
of single grains.
The DrillManager Precimat is the suitable ver-
sion for the Maistro as solo drill. It monitors the
drive, records operating data and is equipped
with a grain counter.
You should only start up the DrillMan-
ager Maistro or Precimat after you have
read the operating instructions and are
familiar with the operation.
Strict compliance with the applicable accident
prevention instructions and other established
regulations concerning technical and industrial
health and safety is mandatory when working
with the DrillManager.

Installing the DrillManager
For all machine with a DrillManager drill control
the basic equipment must 󻉓rst be mounted to
the tractor in case of initial installation.
The cables for the basic equipment must be
directly connected to the tractor battery.
The cables must be protected against cha󻌗ng
and the insulation must not be damaged.
The battery connections must have good con-
tact. Assembly faults will lead to voltage drop
and some error messages and failures.
The cables must under no circum-
stances be connected to any other
plugs in the cab.
DrillManager Müller (ME)
The basic equipment is delivered with two 6
mm² and two 2,5 mm² cables for electric power
supply.
For deliveries up until approx. May 2006 only the
two 6 mm² cables must be connected (there is
only one 50 A fuse installed).
From around May 2006 all cables must be con-
nected (there is an additional 10 A fuse for the
red 2.5 mm² cable).
The monitor should not obstruct the
󻉓eld of vision to the road
Installation:
Basic equipment with monitor
Assemble the monitor bracket in a suitable
place within the view and the operating range
of the driver.
Route the thick cable to the battery, extend
it if necessary.
Connect both fuse holders tightly and durably
with the cable.
Connect the two red cables tightly with battery
plus and the two black cables with battery
minus.
Fasten the monitor bracket to the back of the
monitor and plug the connecting cable in at
the bottom of the monitor.
