1 E-Manager Midi
The E-Manager Midi is an electronic control unit for seed and fertiliser metering.
The system regulates, monitors and controls all connected assembly groups of the
drill.
CAUTION
Danger of accidents due to wrong operation.
ØStart operating the E-Manager only after reading the operating instructions.
ØIn addition, pay attention to the operating instructions of the machine.
ØFamiliarise yourself with the E-Manager before commissioning.
ØStrict compliance with the applicable accident prevention regulations and
other generally accepted regulations concerning technical as well as occupa-
tional health and safety is mandatory when working with the system.
ØAfter switching off the terminal, switch off all hydraulic functions selected
from the tractor.
1.1 Equipment
The software is the same for all machines and equipment variants.
All components and sensors are connected to computer and terminal by means of
the wiring looms.
The computer receives the information, evaluates these and displays the operating
status and data on the terminal.
If entered or fixed default values are exceeded or fallen short of, or in case of faults,
the monitor display is interrupted and the fault is indicated.
1.2 Computer
All machines are equipped with a master computer.
In addition, machines with specific equipment features are equipped with one or
several slave computers.
The stickers on the computer indicate the hardware version and material number.

1.2.1 Maintenance
The system is maintenance free.
NOTE
ØDo not clean computers, plugs and any of the electric components and meter-
ing units with a high pressure cleaner or direct water jet.
1.3 Installing E-Manager
If the tractor is equipped with ISOBUS, the machine can be directly connected with
the ISOBUS plug.
All other tractors must first be fitted with the basic equipment prior to the initial in-
stallation.
NOTE
ØFor machines with 24or more rows, connect the cable for the additional elec-
tric power supply directly to the tractor battery.

1.3.1 Installation on tractors without ISOBUS equipment
For all tractors without ISOBUS equipment the basic equipment must be installed in
the tractor during the initial installation.
The cables for the basic equipment and the cable for the PowerPack must be directly
connected to the tractor battery.
NOTE
Malfunctions due to wrong connections.
ØNever connect the cables to any other plugs in the cab.
The cables must be protected against chafing and the insulation must not be dam-
aged.
All connections must have good contact with the battery. Assembly faults will lead
to voltage drop and indefinable error messages and failures.
WARNING
Danger of traffic accidents due to restricted view.
ØMount the terminal so that the view of the road is not interfered with.
Basic equipment ISOBUS

1.3.1.1 Mounting the basic equipment
1. Install the terminal bracket in a suitable place within the view and the operat-
ing range of the driver.
2. Install the battery cable.
3. Connect both fuse holders tightly and permanently with the cable.
4. Connect the two red cables firmly and permanently with the positive pole of
the battery.
5. Connect the two black cables firmly and permanently with the negative pole
of the battery.
6. Fasten the ISOBUS socket at the rear end of the tractor. Ensure good access
and motion space for the lifting hydraulics.
7. Fasten the terminal bracket to the back of the terminal and plug the connect-
ing cable into terminal.
NOTE
ØFollow the associated operating instructions for operating the terminal.

2 Displays and operating elements
2.1 Coloured softkeys
Softkeys are displayed according to the equipment and configuration of the ma-
chine. Various functions can be enabled or disabled with the softkeys.
Some softkeys change the possible switching function with the operating condition.
Enabled or selected softkeys are shaded green. The function is then activated.
For functions that are not configured and therefore not available, the softkey is
greyed out.
Function enabled
Function disabled
Function not available
NOTE
ØDifferent screens are displayed even if the software version is identical. This
depends on the equipment features of the machine.

60044476 • 01 • 03/2021 • en 11
3 Colour displays
NOTE
The colour bars provide a fast and helpful overview of the drilling quality. Because
colour changes are noticed more quickly than numerical values reactions to
changes are quicker.
Green bar
Green shows data and values in the tolerance range. The tolerance
values are determined in the input screens by the operator and must
be complied with to ensure successful placement of seed.
Yellow bar
When coming close to the tolerance values, the bar will change to
yellow.
The operator should perceive this as a warning. The reason may be
changes of the field of drilling conditions, technical faults or signs of
contamination and leaks.
These causes must be eliminated for the values to lie again within the
tolerance limits and to achieve the desired quality in seed placement.
Red bar
A red display must be understood as a Stop command.
Faults or deviations have occurred causing a seed placement quality
that is no longer acceptable.
The cause must be eliminated. Deactivating monitoring systems,
changing limiting values or ignoring the display does not solve the
problem.

Filling the rotor cells / pre-metering
The metering unit is started manually with this softkey. The metering unit runs for
5seconds, for example, to sow corners of the field.
The drill function must be activated and the machine lowered to working position.
If the job computer receives a speed signal during this time, it assumes control and
adjusts the speed to the travel speed.
The symbol changes to this display during the drilling process:
Display additional metering units.
The display shows the following data of fertiliser metering.
• Current placing quantity in kg/ha
• Rotational speeds of the metering drive
Tram line Plus
This softkey can be used to advance within the rhythm, if necessary,
for example, if row counting was interrupted with the softkey Tram
line STOP.
Tram line Minus
This softkey can be used to jump back within the rhythm, if necessary,
for example, if the machine was lifted out by accident.
Tram line STOP
Stopping the automatic tram line system.
The pause is ended when restarting the machine, the tracks lines in
the rhythm are switched further.

Post mode
This softkey disables the hydraulic Lifting function. When operating
the control unit only the bout marker will be selected.

Reduce the target value of the seed/fertiliser amount by a certain per-
centage.

The display of the softkeys for folding flaps varies according to the configuration.
Both bout markers are lifted or lowered together with the machine.
Only the left bout marker is operated when lifting or lowering the ma-
chine.
Only the right bout marker is operated when lifting or lowering the
machine.
Alternating mode
Both bout markers are lifted or lowered in alternating fashion.
This is the normal drill work mode.

Water hole mode
This function additionally appears in the symbol of the working posi-
tion.
On soft soils the machine can be slightly lifted.
The work signal is not interrupted at this; the tram line will not count
on.
With the proportional coulter pressure system, the coulter pressure
valve is selected with 0%PWM. The display of the coulter pressure
target value is set to 0.
The coulter pressure target value cannot be changed when the water
hole mode is enabled.
Machine lift / lower
The function is automatically activated when selecting the bout
marker function.
If the bout marker is switched on, the first actuation of the softkey
will switch off the bout marker and the lift/lower function.
