1.2
This manual is intended for use with the Bourgault
7000 A/S SRC (Seed Rate Control) with the X35
console.
The system is a powerful tool that will provide a
wide range of options to the operator.
Seed & Fertilizer Rate Controller
1. Control and monitoring of up to six product
applications including 5 granular, and NH3 or
liquid
2. Variable Rate
3. Weigh Scale Monitoring
Guidance System
1. Parallel and Contour guidance software standard
(Optional DGPS receivers required for operation)
2. Use any compatible DGPS
3. Save field maps ("where applied")
VRC/Maplink
1. Log “as applied” maps
2. Use prescription maps for variable rate
applications
Liquid/NH3 Control (Spray Rate Control)
1. Control up to 3 products
2. Liquid Control
3. Liquid Fertilizer
4. Use in a completely separate unit (sprayer,
liquid applicator, etc)
5. Adjustable audible and visual alarms
6. Bin Levels count down as product is used
Auto Steering (Topcon systems ONLY)
Important
Any reference to Auto Steering throughout the
manual is applicable only when the user's tractor
is configured with Topcon guidance equipment
(antenna, receiver, controller, etc.) and is included
as reference only. If your tractor is equipped with
non-Topcon guidance equipment, then the Auto
Steering will be a part of that system and the X35
console will be used for mapping purposes only.

Information
1.1 Introduction
Important
It is important that you do not change settings or
operate buttons on the X35 console with anyone
working on or around the seeding unit. Certain
functions of the console operate components on the
machine which can cause serious injury or death.
1.1.1 Software Version
The system can be upgraded as new features are
added. To check what version of the software is
installed, select the System Information button on
the left side of the screen, refer to Figure 1.1.
Check with the dealer if a new version is available
for update. Contact Bourgault Service for more
information.

Port
1.2.1 USB Wi-Fi Antenna
Connects into USB port on X35 which can
generate a local hotspot or connect to the internet
through a hotspot. This can be used for remote
control of functions through a smartphone or tablet
or can be used for remote support.
The X35 console is a Linux based computer
system contained within an ABS housing. The
console has no internal moving parts and the
housing is designed to ensure long life in even the
toughest conditions.
The console has a 13.5" LCD touch screen display.
The back panel of the X35 console has a few
connection ports, refer to Figure 1.3.
1. Ttwo CAN ports which are used for harness
connections;
2. The ethernet port allows connection to the
internet and computer;
3. A USB port can be used to connect a
thumbdrive or any other Topcon supported
USB devices. Using a USB memory stick,
you can transfer files from your console to
the USB memory stick or import specific files
from USB memory to your console. There is
a 2nd USB port on the X35 harness to allow
hooking up multiple devices.

Figure 1.6 - X35 Main Harness
X35_AS_Harness_101915401.jpg
Refer to Section 11 - Wiring Schematics for the
wiring harness layouts.
1.4.1 X35 Main Harness
Refer to Figure 1.6. This harness connects the
X35 console to a power source, ISOBUS, and GPS
signal.
Figure 1.5 - In-Cab Switchbox
SwitchBox_313226.jpg
1.3 Switchbox
The same switchbox is used in-cab and on the
frame of the air seeder.
The in-cab switchbox connects to a 9-pin AMP
connection in the tractor cab.
The on-frame switchbox is installed on the frame
to control the meters in calibration mode. It is
also used to run meters to check runs when the
unit is stationary.
1. will control up to 8 tanks;
2. alternate means of controlling the air seeder to
the console touch screen;
3. in-cab switchbox can be placed near tractor
controls for easy access;
4. functions include: master on/off, tank on/off
and customized features;
5. must be enabled through the X35 console.

1.4.2 Power Extension Harness
Power extension harness connects X35 console to
the power source. There are two power extension
harnesses available:
1. with the auxiliary connector to connect in the
cab (3151-69, refer to Figure 1.7).
2. with leads to connect to the battery and
switched power source (3151-68, refer to
Figure 1.8).

1.4.4 Tractor ISOBUS Harness
Tractor ISOBUS harness connects to battery
and tees into X35 harness. Implement plugs into
harness at back of tractor.

1.4.3 In-Cab SwitchBox Harness
Harnesses connect switchbox into ISOBUS on X35
harness. Also, use the switchbox power harness
(Figure 1.11) to power up the switchbox from the
X35 harness.

1.5.1 Master ECU (CM-40)
The Master ECU (Figure 1.13) is located on the
hopper panel of the air seeder. It is capable of:
1. controlling up to four tanks;
2. monitoring and transmitting signals from the
various air seeder sensors to the console for
display.
A second ECU (CM-40) will be installed if there
are more than 4 tanks used.
Refer to Section 11 - Wiring Schematics for the
wiring harness layouts.
1.5.2 I/O ECU (EM-24) (optional)
The I/O ECU (Figure 1.14) is located on the back
side of the same mount as the Master ECU. It is
capable of:
1. controlling the granular and NH3/liquid Auto
Section Control systems, up to 10 sections
each;
2. can be installed on the drill to control blocked
head sensors.

1.5.3 SL2140 Scale Link ECU
Integrates the Digi-Star weigh system into the X35
Apollo system so live weights can be monitored.
Setup can be accessed through the X35.
1.5.4 SLC2810 Remote Display
Displays the scale values and can control the scale
link setup.

1.6 Speed Sensors
There are speed sensors in several locations on the
air seeder. These include fan speed, ground speed,
and metering auger speed. All of these sensors are
proximity style and send a signal to the ECU.
1. the fan speed sensor picks up from a target
bolt on the fan hub (one pulse per revolution).
2. the ground speed sensor is located on the rear
left wheel mount or drive. It picks up a signal
from a sprocket.
3. the metering auger sensors are on the
metering auger housing and pick up the signal
from a sprocket on the metering auger shaft
(32 pulses per revolution for 7000AS, and 16
pulses per revolution for 6000AS).
1.7 Case Drain Pressure Switch
A pressure switch (Figure 1.18) is installed in the
fan hydraulic motor case drain line. This controls
an alarm that will activate if the case drain
pressure is too high (greater than 65psi). High
case drain pressure may result in damage to the
hydraulic motor.
1.8 Low Bin Level Sensors
Each air seeder compartment contains a single bin
level sensor installed near the bottom. The sensor
will trigger an alarm when there is no product in
front of it.
The X35 provides a calculated (not actual) method
of reporting the product remaining in the tank.
This value is based on the metering auger output
in relation to the product amount entered at time
of fill. This value should be used as reference
only.

1.9 BHECU (Blocked Head
Electronic Control Unit)
A I/O ECU (EM-24) (Figure 1.20) and BH Sensor
(Figure 1.21) are available to use with the X35/
Bourgault SRC programs.
The I/O ECU is installed on the secondary manifold
stand and communicates with the BH sensor.
- the sensor is installed "in-line" on one tertiary
line per secondary manifold;
- there is a maximum of 20 BH sensors per unit.
The information from this BH sensor is then sent
back to the X35 monitor and is displayed on the
Bourgault SRC program. Refer to Section 13.3
- X35 Blockage Monitoring for more installation
information.
1.10 Granular Sectional Control
harnesses
There are 2 control harnesses that run from the I/O
ECU to control up to 10 sections on the unit. One
harness controls the section valves and the other
harness sends the section sensor feedback to the
ECU.
1.11 Section Control Valve Proximity
Sensor
Refer to Figure 1.22. A proximity sensor is used
to determine position of the section control valve.
The sensor provides an alarm on the monitor
when a valve should be open (for seeding), but is
partially or completely closed.
