Area of use of the
device
The device is designed for use in agriculture. It controls agricultural
machinery and devices.
Intended use
The device is designed to be used in connection with agricultural ma-
chinery and devices to control and monitor their functions. Any other
use is forbidden.
Mode of operation
A travel sensor determines the route and distance travelled and a job
computer calculates the current speed. The rotary speed necessary
for the drive motor on the metering device is determined from the cur-
rent speed and the preset setpoint for the amount of seed per hectare.
Notes on the ISOBUS
standard
Not all of the display device features are standardised in the ISOBUS
standard. It maytherefore be the case thata terminal made by another
manufacturer has more or fewer selection keys. Depending on the
number and arrangement of the selection keys, the symbols iden-
tifying their assignment may be in different positions. The description
here applies only to the device specified on the title page.
The Focus 2 terminal does not comply with the ISOBUS standard. It
can only be used in conjunction with machines made by the Kverne-
land Group.
