DrillManager
The HORSCH DrillManager is an electronic
control unit for drills and their components.
It regulates, monitors and controls all connected
assemblies in the drill.
You should only start up the DrillManager
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.
Description
The HORSCH DrillManager is a complete
system in which the modules included in the
equipment must only be activated.
The complete system consists of the following
components:
¾Computer
¾Monitor
¾Modules, depending on machine type and
equipment, for:
one to three metering drives for seed, fertiliser
or liquid fertiliser
hydraulic control for raising, wings and bout
marker indicator control
half-side control
Seed 󰘱ow monitoring
¾Sensors for:
fan
forward speed (radar)
hopper empty indicator (2 channels)
¾connection for work signal
¾switch for calibration
All components and sensors are connected to
computer and monitor by means of the wiring
loom.
The computer receives the information, evaluates
these and displays the operating status and data
on the monitor.
If entered or 󰘰xed default values are exceeded
or fallen short of, or in case of malfunctions the
monitor display is interrupted and the fault is
indicated.
The monitor thereby identi󰘰es the corresponding
component or the limit value that has been
exceeded.
Depending on the version the machine is
equipped with one or two computers.
Computer with one and two 16-pin plugs
Stickers on the computer inform about the
hardwar status, the software status is displayed
in the “Diagnose” menu.
Maintenance
The system is maintenance free. You should
keep an eye on the computer and the cable
connections when washing the machine.
Do not clean the computer, the plugs
and any of the electronic components
with high pressure cleaning equipment
or a direct water jet.

Description of the computer
Computers with black plastic end plates have
program “version 8.xx” installed.
These computers can be operated with HORSCH
terminals, external ISOBUS terminals and with
ISOBUS compatible tractor terminals.
Machines with two computers
On machines with two metering drives two
computers are installed in the machine and
tightly connected together with a cable.
On drills which are temporarily combined with
an additional metering drive, like DuoDrill or
Maistro, the computers of both machines are
connected with a 16-pin plug.
The socket of this connection has an integrated
ISO-Bus termination and can thus can only be
replaced by an original cable in case of a repair.
Computer version
The computer is available in three di󰘯erent
hardware versions, whereby two of these
versions look optically exactly the same. It is
therefore very important to look for the article
numbers when carrying out repair work.
No. 00345005 (standard computer)
¾Installed in all machines with just one
computer;
¾Is able to control two metering drives;
¾Is always programmed with the master
version 8.xx 49;
¾Cable inlet: One 16-pin plug;
No. 00345069 (dual computer)
¾Installed as master computer in all machines
with two computers;
¾In connection with the second computer this
computer is able to control three metering
drives or two metering drives and the Maistro;
¾Is always programmed with the master
version 8.xx 49;
¾Cable inlet: Two 16-pin plugs;
No. 00345091 (additional computer)
¾Is used a second computer in machines with
two computers
¾Supports the main computer in the control of
the third metering drive
¾Is always programmed with the slave version
8.xx 4a;
¾Cable inlet: One 16-pin plug
Programs
The programs can be identi󰘰ed by their ending,
e.g. 8.xx 49 for the master version and 8.xx 4a
in the slave version. This ending can only be
recognized during programming.
On machines with dual computers the new and
old computer versions must not be combined.
When replacing an old computer it may be
necessary to replace both computers.
The programs in both computers must also be of
the same version, e.g. 8.52 49 only with 8.52 4a.
In case of incorrectly combined program
versions errors and malfunctions may
occur.

Function symbols
The symbols in the display represent the
functions of the corresponding keys.
Stop button for tram line:
The button prevents the rhythm
being switched further after the
machine has been lifted out of
work. The function is indicated with
STOP between the tracks.
The tram line rhythm is increased
by one track with every operation
of the key.
The track number is displayed
between the tracks.
In case of a tram line track the
switched tracks are black under
laid.
In addition, the closed coulter rows
no longer appear in the display
during the sowing.
If the machine is equipped with the hydraulic bout
marker control, the symbol for the alternating
bout marker will appear instead of the
"Tram Line +" symbol when pressing "STOP
Tram Line".
This button can now be used to
change the side for the bout marker.
If stationary with the drill lowered
by pressing the meter fill drill
function, the metering unit will start
up over a specified time. If the
computer receives a speed signal
during this period, the computer will
take over the control.
Post mode:
The post mode disables the
hydraulic "Lifting" function.
When operating the control unit only
the bout marker will be hydraulically triggered.
The machine remains in working position. The
work signal is hydraulically blocked and the tram
line will not count on.
Seed quantity 100 %:
If the seed quantity had been
adjusted with the +% or -% keys,
pressing this key will switch back to
the default seed quantity in kg/ha.
With the adjustment keys +% or -%
the seed quantity can be set and
reset in several steps.
The seed quantity is displayed in % by the
display above the hopper. The percentage step
can be changed in the machine data. There you
can also select whether only the seed quantity
is to be changed, or also the fertiliser quantity.
Switching the drill function ON / OFF:
With the drill function switched o󰘯
the display will show STOP under
the drill.
If the drill function is switched on,
the drill is lowered to work position
and the computer receives a speed
signal,
the computer will start the control
process.
Continue to next page:
If the hydraulic bout marker control
or the half width control is activated,
the next page will show the menu
