ISOBUS
All Pneumatic Seeders from APV can also be controlled via ISOBUS with the tractor's own terminal. Prerequisite: There must be a standardised ISOBUS port on the tractor.
Functions
- All functions of Control Box 6.2
Additionally:
- No additional display in the cabin
- Only one cable from the spreader to the tractor (ISOBUS cable)
- Section Control: Automatic seeding shaft shut-off depending on the GPS position
- Individual naming of the seeds in the seed library
- The speed and linkage signal can be obtained directly from the ISOBUS1or from various APV sensors (wheel, GPS, radar sensor)
- Compatible with many different terminal versions/tractor brands
- The ISOBUS control box is also compatible with special implements, such as the Pneumatic Seeder TWIN and the Liquid Fertilizer.
- 50 % more fan performance with the combination of ISOBUS and electric fan
- AEF-certification
- Variable Rate Control: Spread rate is regulated according to an application map
Controller 1.2
The solid base
The controller 1.2 is the ideal starter module and is characterised by its compactness. It controls the fundamental seeding functions and is compatible with selected machine sensors. Adjustment of the speed of the seeding shaft and fan is easy, quick and straightforward.
Functions
- Electronic control and monitoring of the seeding shaft
- Electronic control and monitoring of electric fan and the spreading plate
- Electronic adjustment of the spread rate during operation
- Calibration test
- Acoustic and visual error warning
- Emptying
- Device monitoring (in combination with implement sensors. Example: pressure monitor)
- Possibility of fill level alert (in combination with implement sensors. Example: fill level sensor)
Controller 5.2
The bestseller
The controller 5.2 is the most popular version of the APV controllers and has the following functions: precise speed calibration, regulation of the electric fan and automatic execution of the calibration test.
Functions
- Speed-independent regulation of the feed rate
- Headland management (in combination with tractor linkage sensor)
- Optional spreader sensors (pressure monitor, fill level sensor)
- Electronic seed rate adjustment (during operation)
- Automatic calibration-test function (weight only)
- Regulating & controlling the meter roll via the controller
- Residue discharge function
- Total hour counter and hours per day counter
- Total acre counter and acres per day counter
- Choice of different measurement units (metric, imperial)
- Calibration test & display in lb/ac and grains/sqft
- Speed calibration
- Manual override for preseeding application
- Operable with different speed sensors
- Option to include calibration button
- Option for regulating the electric fan
- Display of the operating voltage and current
- Speed indicator and monitoring with hydraulic fan (fan speed (rpm) sensor)
Controller 5.7
The multi-tasking wonder
If you want to operate two Pneumatic Seeders in parallel and independently of each other, controller 5.7 is the perfect choice for you. To do so, you need an additional adapter cable for the use of two PS. The controller is compatible with all sensor systems. When using two PS at the same time with an electric fan, pay attention to fluctuations in the air output!
Functions: All functions of the controller 5.2 and the following functions are still present
- Switch on/switch off of meter roll I + change of the seed rate during operation
- Switch on/switch off of meter roll II + change of the seed rate during operation
- Independent fill level warnings when two seeders in operation
- Calibration button is optional
The following must be complied with
- For operation of 2 electrical PS units the fan capacity cannot be reduced individually
- When using 2 electrical PS units it may be necessary to reduce the fan capacity slightly so as not to exceed the maximum total current consumption (depending on supply voltage, hose lengths, etc )
Controller 6.2
The touch controller
The controller 6.2 is easy to handle, has a large color touch screen and is protected through a high-quality aluminium housing. Self-explanatory symbols enables an intuitive operation. The pre-metering of the seed and the creation of a seed database are application samples, which, that make everyday work easier.
Functions (All functions of the Controller 5.2)
In addition:
- Operation via color touch screen
- Robust aluminium housing
- Seed library (saving of calibration tests)
- Automatic pre-metering
- Display of the speed for the hydraulic fan (with optional fan speed sensor)
- Update option via USB flash drive and internet
