1. TO THE MACHINE OPERATOR AND THOSE IN CHARGE

OF THE MACHINERY

We wish you the best of success with your TUME Tc seed drill controller. This manual provides
correct instructions for the use, adjustments, maintenance and storage of Tc controllers. If you
follow the instructions in this manual, your machine will serve you impeccably and for a long time to
come.

It is very important to become acquainted with these instructions well before the start of the
machine's operating season. Keep the manual in safe place and easily accessible. The spare part
number of the User Manual is marked in the cover. Make a note of this number so you can order a
new similar manual if required.

Both the manufacturer, Tume-Agri OY, and any authorized dealer, are happy to assist you with any
questions related to the use and maintenance of the machine.

Remarks regarding the Operating Instructions

Because this publication is distributed in an international sales network, the machinery shown in the
illustrations (as well as the standard equipment and accessories) can vary in different countries. In
different countries the statutory and otherwise important covers have been opened or removed in
some illustrations, in order to present a clearer view of the object. It is not permitted to use the
machine without covers. For your own safety, make sure that all covers are in good condition or
installed in place before commencing operations.

In this manual, the terms "left" and "right" in relation to the machine refer to the machine sides seen
from behind towards the direction of travel.

Tume-Agri Oy continuously develops its products and reserves a right to make changes and
improvements without advance notification and without commitment to carry out changes
retrospectively to already sold products.

2. GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Study carefully the Tc seeding electronics in this manual before you start using the machine.
Make sure that all users of Tc controller or others who deal with the machine familiarize themselves
with the instruction booklet and the system so well that safety risks are minimized.
Do not allow outsiders to deal with the Tc system. Take special care that outsiders or those travelling
in the tractor's cabin do not touch the control unit inside the cabin when you yourself are within the
machine's danger zone.
Special caution must be taken when starting to use the system. Practice its use in a place where you
don't endanger your safety or that of others'. Ensure enough free space for row markers' movements,
for example.
When practicing, go through all machine's functions. Practice especially making smooth adjustments
during the drive.

5
 Tc user instructions

The system controls varied amounts of hydraulic functions. Never go under a machine lifted and
supported by hydraulics, or under markers etc. If you must go under such a structure, it must be first
supported reliably with mechanical supports!
Note that control commands for hydraulic or electronic functions given from the cabin's monitor may
cause sudden movements in the seed drill's structures. Make sure that there are no people or easily
damaged property in the danger zone. When row marker function is switched on, for example, both
markers, (right and left) are lowered down: Possible risk!
When you park the tractor and the machine, for which the system is installed, lock the tractor so that
outsiders cannot use the system or change its settings. When parking, you must also follow all those
safety guidelines which have been given to the seed drill and fertilizer or the seed drill.
Always keep the control system's conductors, connectors and other structures in impeccable
condition. If damages or malfunctioning are found, the problems must be solved and rectified at once.
Damaged equipment can function in an unexpected way and cause a hazard!
Use authorized Tume services or their authorized sub-contractor for making repairs and updating the
programs. Use also original Tume spare parts.
Do not make changes to the control system or its programs without a written permission from Tume-
Agri Oy for these changes.
Noise level < 70 dB (A)

3. TAKING THE CONTROLLER IN TO USE

Tc is a seed drill control system which includes monitor which is placed in the tractor cabin and a
processor which is attached to the seed drill. These are connected to each other with cable (picture
1). Controller may be equipped with cameras and remote control. More details about extra equipment
can be found in the end of this book.

Picture 1. Monitor and processor.

Machiene functions are controlled by pressing the icons in the touch screen and with tractor
hydraulics. In each button there is a symbol indicating that function.

Correct settings (such as working width and progress) have been set in the factory and they can be
checked and changed. Other settings need to be made at the farm, such as the values of the tramline
density and sowing quantities. The timings of the alarms as well as the brightness of the screen are
also adjustable.

 Tc user instructions

3.1 Power and data cable

Power supply is provided with a power cable which leads off the back of the screen. The cable has
a 3-pin plug in accordance with DIN norm. The tractor must have a corresponding socket which
complies with the norm for its dimensioning and connection. The power supply coming to the tractor
socket must be strong enough to allow continuous 25 A power, when the voltage, whilst the tractor
is running, must stay at the minimum level of 12 V, even when loaded, but at the maximum level of
14 V. The socket's power supply must have a fuse, maximum 30 A.

Tc system will store the programs, setting values and measuring results even when power is
switched off. Power supply can thus be cut off by unplugging the plug when the machine is not in
use. When the device is taken into use after the power cut, the feeding adjustments and the groove
stage of the drive groove device should be checked. When the machine is parked for a longer time,
voltage should be switched off (such as for the night).

Picture 2. 3-pin power supply plug.

The information between the tractor's monitor and the seed drill is transferred with the data transfer
cable. The cable has an intermittent connector which can be opened (pictures 3 and 4). When the
tractor and the seed drill are removed from each other, this connector is opened. The monitor stays
in the tractor cabin.

NOTE: store the ends of opened connectors so that water cannot enter them. When the tractor is
attached back to the seed drill, the cable must be re-connected.

3.2 Monitor location in the cabin

Ask your tractor's seller for a recommendation for attaching the monitor. Usually all tractor models
have a place for a monitor on the driver's right side or on the front right.

Note! Do not drill holes into the tractor cabin structures yourself: you might damage the tractor's
electric wiring or the heater's hoses.

The monitor must be attached firmly so that it cannot sway and vibrate. The device comes with a
backing plate and an attachment fixture which are useful when attaching the device. If you are
unsure, ask your tractor's repair shop for help.

Picture 6. Monitor's foot and attachment fixtures. Picture 5. Monitor attached to the tractor.

2. Camera plug.

3.3 Starting the system

First check that the data transfer cable between the machine and the tractor is carefully connected
and secured. The connector and the plug can only be connected in one position, pressing them
lightly together. Connection is secured by turning the locking part about ¼ turns.

When the 3-pin plug is connected to the tractor, voltage is switched on. After a few seconds the start
menu is opened, picture 7.

When you press any of the above mentioned buttons, a change menu for the function in question is
activated.

With a higher reading value the time delay of the alarm is longer than with a lower reading value.
Changes are made in the change menu with buttons + and - . The value is accepted with the button
OK, and the change menu disappears.

Note! If axle monitoring or container monitoring are set to the value 0 the monitoring is switched off.
This might be necessary in the following cases, for example:
- Extremely small amounts of seed are sown and the feed axle rotates so slowly that even value 15
raises alarm
- Seed container has a very small amount of small seeds and the container monitoring raises the
alarm for nothing
- Only seeds are sown so monitoring the empty fertilizer container needs to be switched off

4.1.4 Tramline functions

Picture 11, button 4. The button icon shows the tramline stage (the first number) and tramline density
(second number). The tramline stage shows which driving stage is happening since the previous
tramline. tramline density shows at how many sowing intervals tramlines are formed.

The number of the tramline stage changes to the next one every time the coulters are raised up.
When the tramline stage reaches the same number as the tramline density, tramlines are formed
during next sowing.

The tramline stage, as well as the tramline density, can also be changed manually from the controls.
This happens when the button 4 is pressed for a few seconds. Tramline change menu is activated
in the middle, picture 13.

Readings can be changed in the tramline menu using buttons + and - . When the button OK is
pressed, the set change takes place and the change menu disappears. By pressing the button C,
the tramlines stay the same, change does not happen and we return from the tramline menu to the
sowing menu. Tramlines are completely off if you set it 0/0. Tramlines are always on if you set 1/1.

Meter value in the screen tells the distance between the tramlines. This is the same as the width of
the sprayer.

When the button 10, STOP, picture 11 is pressed, the button color changes to red. Then the machine
can be raised and lowered in such a way that the tramlines does not change. This function is good
when sowing around the field, for example, when the selected tramline has to stay the same for the
whole lap of the field. In that case the row marker does not change, either. When STOP button is
pressed for the second time, the button's color changes to grey and the function returns to the mode
where tramlines stages (and markers) function normally.

4.1.5 Return to start menu

Leave the sowing menu and return to the start menu by pressing the arrow in the bottom left (button
5, picture 11).

4.1.6 Acknowledging alarms

When button 6, picture 11, is pressed the alarm sound is acknowledged and disappears. Alarm takes
place when seed or fertilizer in the container gets lower than the alarm limit, for example. When the
machine raises the alarm, the button's color changes to red.

4.1.7 Ritsi marking

Ritsi marking means that the tramline locations are also marked mechanically to the field. This
function is needed when sowing plants which need spraying before the plant has reached the
surface. Actual tramlines are not yet visible then.

16
 Tc user instructions

With Tume Draco this is done using row markers: during the sowing next to the tramline (the tramline
number is then 1) both of the machine's row markers are lowered down. Then the other row marker
draws a line to the centre of the previous tramline stage. So the mark works as a centre mark during
spraying.

Ritsi marking is switched on by pressing button 7, picture 11. The button's color changes to yellow.
Similarly, when the button is pressed again, the color returns to grey and Ritsi marking is switched
off.

Note! Be extra cautious when in Ritsi marking mode, because both row markers are lowered down
at the tramline stage 1. This may cause a risk to the environment, for example when filling the
containers.

4.1.8 Row marker left, L

4.1.9 Row marker right, R
Row markers are controlled with buttons 8 and 9, picture 11. The activated button's color is yellow.
If both buttons are activated (yellow), the row markers automatically change from one side to another
when the machine is raised and lowered. Row markers are connected hydraulically to the coulters'
lifting and lowering hydraulics, so they are raised the same time as coulters, when reaching the
headland, for example. The exception of this is the pole lifting function (section 4.1.12), if there are
obstacles on the field and only the row marker needs to be raised up.

Examples of use:

You don't want to use row markers.

Press row markers buttons 8 and 9 so that they are both grey. When coulters are raised and lowered,
row markers stay up.

Only left row marker is in use.

Only the left button is yellow. When coulters are raised and lowered, the left row marker raises and
lowers at the same pace.

Only right row marker is in use.

Only the right button is yellow. When coulters are raised and lowered, the right row marker raises
and lowers at the same pace.

Row markers automatically change from one side to the other.

When coulters are raised, the row markers are first switched off by pressing the buttons until their
color is grey. The row markers are activated into use (the color of the buttons changes to yellow) so
that the first row marker to be activated is the one which should come down first. Then row markers
will take turns when coming down.

You want to raise coulters up in the middle of sowing, but do not want the tramline stage or
the row marker to change.
Press STOP button (picture 11, button 10) before raising coulters. Its color changes to red. After this
coulters can be raised and lowered, to avoid a rock or another obstacle without the tramline stage
stepping or the row marker changing sides. Remember to cancel the STOP function by pressing it
again when the obstacle has been passed.

17
 Tc user instructions

Lifting only a row marker without interrupting sowing.

Press button 12 until its color changes to red. Pole lifting prevents raising the coulters, so that when
the tractor hydraulics raises/lowers the seed drill, only the row marker raises/lowers. This function
is used when sowing should not be interrupted, but the row marker must be raised up because of an
obstacle. Note! Remember to switch the pole lift off at once (by pressing button 12 again, the
color changes to grey) after passing the obstacle. Otherwise at headland coulters are not raised
up and then, when reversing for example, you will cause COULTER DAMAGE!

Starting sowing in the middle of the field so that both row markers should be lowered during
the first drive.
See section 4.1.7, Ritsi marking. Drive the start in question with the tramline stage 1 so that Ritsi
marker is switched on.

When you are going to public roads or when you go to fill containers.
Switch the row markers off by pressing marker buttons 8 and 9 so that their color changes to grey.
The rods won't then come down when the coulters are lowered.

4.1.10 STOP button

When you press STOP button (picture 11, button 10) to activate it, its color changes to red and the
machine can be raised and lowered without changing the sowing stage. Then the tramline device
does not step forward and the row marker does not change sides.

4.1.11 ½ lift

When you press ½ button (picture 11, button 11 to activate it, its color changes to yellow. Then the
rear harrow does not raise up when the machine is lifted. This feature is good in muddy conditions,
for example, when you leave the rear harrow to ground over the tire marks when turning from
headlands.

Note! Remember to switch the half lift off when you reverse or go to transport drive. Rear
harrow structures will get damaged, if the rear harrow is left down!

4.1.12 Pole lift of the row marker

When you press Pole lift button (picture 11, button 12) to activate it, its color changes to red and it
gives sound signal. When the machine is raised or lowered only the row marker raises or lowers.
This function is used when sowing should not be interrupted, but the row marker must be raised up
because of an obstacle.

Note! Remember to switch the pole lift function off at once after you pass the obstacle!
Otherwise coulters will not raise up in the next headland and then, when reversing for example, you
cause SERIOUS COULTER DAMAGES. Pole lift and its sound signal goes off automatically after
30 seconds.

driving speed while seeding. Speed is measured from the rear
wheels.

Note! The speed shown in monitor may differ from the speed your tractor shows. This can be
resulted from several reasons such as wheel slipping and tractor computer settings. Little difference
between speeds won’t need any actions.

As a standard there is one camera. Another camera is optional equipment.

When the camera is switched on (button 13, picture 11), the sowing menu screen changes to the
one shown in picture 15. The logos in the buttons and functions become smaller so that the image
shown on the camera is as large as possible on the screen.

All functions can be used, but adjustable / set values cannot be changed when camera is in use: the
buttons on the bottom of the screen function in the same way as in the sowing menu without the
camera.

Instead, the setting values of buttons vertical in the edges cannot be changed: areas cannot be reset,
changes to tramline stage cannot be made manually, the sowing quantities of fertilizer cannot be
changed in the memory spot, but fertilizer's memory spot can be changed from one spot to another
when changes in the soil type so require.

If the values of the aforementioned buttons should be changed, the camera mode must be removed

4.1.17 Fertilizer feed rate, memory spot 1

4.1.18 Fertilizer feed rate, memory spot 2
4.1.19 Fertilizer feed rate, memory spot 3
4.1.20 Fertilizer feed rate, memory spot 4

Tc+ controllers have four quick picks, i.e. memory spots for the amount of fertilizer feed. They are
all equal and can all be changed separately. The number shows the seeding amount kg/ha. You can
select any of these memory spots with a quick press. You can make the selection any time. If the
value is 0 it will give an alarm to notify the user that no fertilizer is going.

Every memory spot can be changed. Fertilizer feeding amount can be changed by pressing the
memory spot for a few seconds. Menu like in picture 16 opens. Make sure that the button kg is
selected and insert new seeding amount with numbers. Press OK to accept. C = cancel. After this
you return to the seeding menu and the new value is shown in the button. All four memory spots are
set the same way.

1. To change the feeding

value press the memory
spot you want to change for
a few seconds.

2. Make sure that kg is

selected

3. Insert new value

4. OK = accept changes

Picture 16. Changing the fertilizer feed rate with Tc+ -controller.

NOTE!
You have to make calibration test for the fertilizer so that the values correspond to
actual seeding rate. Also make new calibration test when you change the fertilizer.

5. TC+ FERTILIZER FEED RATE / MEMORY SPOT

CALIBRATION

Tc+ controllers are equipped with fertilizer feed rate remote control. You can change the feed rate
during seeding using four memory spots. You have to make calibration test so that the values you
put to the memory spots, corresponds the actual seeding amount. It is recommended to do the
calibration test always when you change the fertilizer type.

Calibration:

1. Adjust seed drill to calibration settings as told in the seed drill´s user manual.

2. Press any of the fertilizer memory sport for a few seconds. A menu shown below opens.
Make sure that the kg is selected and insert the feeding rate you mostly want to use, kg/ha.
In this example 350 kg/ha. Press OK to accept.

3. Make the calibration test as told in the seed drill user manual.

4. Weight the fertilizer amount you got from the calibration test and calculate how much it is per
hectare, kg/ha

5. Press the same memory spot as earlier for a few seconds. A menu shown below opens.
Select Cal kg and insert the calibration test result, kg/ha. In this example 250 kg/ha. Press
OK to accept. C = cancel changes.

6. Check the right calibration of the memory spot by making the calibration test again. Memory
spot will be more accurate if you repeat the step 5.

7. All four memory spots are now calibrated and you can set values used in seeding to them as
explained in section 4.1.20 Fertilizer feed rate.

6. OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT

6.1 Roller controller

Machine functions can also be controlled with a specific roller controller (picture 17). You can move
between the icons by rotating the wheel. Pressing the wheel will apply the function. Selection is
indicated with blue frame. Controller can be in the armrest for example. It makes possible to place
monitor further from driver. It is connected to the cable in the monitor and it starts working when the
wheel is pressed.

Picture 17. Roller controller.

6.2 Additional camera

Second camera can be connected to the Tc monitors. You can switch between the cameras by
pressing a camera selection button (picture 15). You can also set it to switch camera screens
automatically after few seconds.

7. TROUBLESHOOTING

7.1 Motor -alarm

MOTOR
TC+

If the actuator motor cannot move to the desired position it gives MOTOR -alarm to the monitor.

Possible reasons:

- Fertilizer feeding value is so big that the feeding system cannot give such amount.
- Fertilizer feeding shaft is jammed and cannot move.
- Actuator motor cable disconnected or broken.

Solutions:

- Use smaller fertilizer feeding amount, kg/ha. Make calibration test to verify the amount.
- Make sure that the fertilizer feeding shaft can move sideways.
- Connect or fix actuator cable.

TC

Possible reasons:

- Plug of the connector reserved for the actuator motor is broken or missing.

Solution:

- Fix the plug.

7.2 All values zero in seeding menu / machine doesn’t perform functions set in
the monitor

Area counters, tramlines and fertilizer quick settings are zero after startup, even you have set other
values last time. Likely reason is that the data cable between the ECU and the monitor is not well
connected or it is broken. If there is a red led light on in the ECU and it is not going green at all, it is
likely that the connection between the monitor and the ECU is not working. Make sure that the
connections and cables are ok.
