IMPLEMENT HARNESS/MODULE CONNECTION
The Seed Manager
®
SE System uses any combination of three basic
module types each with specific harness configurations.
Module Types:
• 12 Row Material Flow
• 16 Row Material Flow
• Shaft Speed
The following requirements must be observed when connecting
modules to the bus:
• A maximum of six Material Flow Modules can be connected to the bus.
• Only one Shaft Speed Module can be connected to the bus.
• The Shaft Speed Module can be connected anywhere on the bus that
is convenient and can be connected to either P1 or P2.
• A maximum of three Material Flow Modules can be connected to P1 or
P2.
• Any combination of 12 Row or 16 Row Material Flow Modules can be
used.
MODULE ORDER
IMPORTANT: The order in which Material Flow Modules are connected
and their position on the toolbar or implement is
important. The Material Flow Modules are identified by
the console as b1, b2, ...bn (where n is the total number
of Material Flow Modules connected). The order in
which the console identifies the modules depend on
how they are connected to the bus. Refer to (
Figure 10 )
that shows example system configuration setups.
A single Bus cable connects to each module then serially (daisy chains)
connects to following modules. The primary harness divides into two halves
at the implement hitch (P1 and P2).
MODULE INSTALLATION
1. Select an area on the implement to mount the member that allows for
easy hookup and access. Extensions can be used to reach members
installed on remote areas of the implement.
Do not install the module in any orientation other than illustrated
in (
Figure 7 ). The connection wires must NOT be mounted upward
as moisture can collect inside the unit and damage the circuits.
Ensure that module connectors do not face upward in a folded
position as well.
