Chapter 1 – Introduction
The Apollo ISOBUS Universal Terminal (UT) Seeder can be
configured to either control or monitor the operations of an air seeder
system.
When controlling, it adjusts the discharge rate according to vehicle
speed and the area being covered to maintain the preset application
rate. This provides more accurate use of a product over the specified
areas.
When monitoring, it enables the operator to ensure the system is
operating correctly.
Note: ISOBUS refers to the ISO 11783 communication protocol
used in the agriculture industry. A vehicle must be fitted with an ISO
11783 compatible console for the Apollo ISOBUS UT Seeder to
operate.
The Apollo ISOBUS UT Seeder comes with these features:
l Seeder Monitoring: Operator feedback is supplied on seeder
functions such as application rate, fan RPM, fan pressure, tank
levels and product remaining. Alarms can be enabled to alert the
operator in case of conditions such as low tank level, low case
drain pressure, and blocked heads.
l Metering Control: Provides two preset rate options per product,
as well as incremental rate adjustment, allowing the operator to
increase or decrease application rates during seeding.
l Multiple Product Settings: Store data for up to 16 products on
the system, including calibration factors. This eliminates the need
to enter product and calibration data each time the products are
changed.
l Manual and Automatic Calibration: The calibration feature
provides an easy four-step process to calibrate. Common keypad
controls enable quick and accurate product calibration from the
tractor cab.
