LH ”INTELLITRAM” 500 OPERATORS MANUAL INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION Thank you for choosing a LH product. Whilst developing the LH ”Intellitram” 500 we have tried to create an advanced product that, at the same time, is easy to operate. The LH ”Intellitram” 500 has many user selectable functions and meets therefore almost all thinkable combinations of different working widths of seed drills and cultivating equipment, i.e. field sprayers and fertiliser spreaders.
INTRODUCTION LH ”INTELLITRAM” 500 OPERATORS MANUAL We have endeavoured to deliver a fault free product. To ensure optimal use of the equipment we ask that great attention be paid when reading the manual. We are more than happy to help should any queries arise, both when the product is used for the first time and at any later date. Regarding responsibility for use of the product we refer to our sales and delivery terms especially paragraph 7, which follows: 7. Product usage. 7.

GENERAL OPERATION LH ”INTELLITRAM” 500 OPERATORS MANUAL OPERATING THE LH 500 HOLD KEY (POS. 1) Key Description Pressing this key stops the bout number from being counted. The implement can be lifted without the bout number changing. This function is typically used if the seed drill must be raised for an obstruction. Once the obstruction has been cleared, press the HOLD key again and the bout number will be counted automatically again. When this function is active an icon will be displayed on the screen.
LH ”INTELLITRAM” 500 OPERATORS MANUAL GENERAL OPERATION ENTER KEY (POS. 5) Key Description The enter key is used to accept encodements and to return to the previous screen. ESCAPE KEY (POS. 6) Key Esc Description Use this key to return to the previous menu without saving the value. CLEAR KEY (POS. 7) Key C Description The clear key is used to reset encodements/counters and to clear warnings. PROGRAM KEYS (POS.
OPERATION LH ”INTELLITRAM” 500 OPERATORS MANUAL OPERATION Pressing the MENU key, regardless of where you are in the program, shows the operating screen. The operating screen is always displayed when the computer is switched on. Correct operation presupposes that all encodements/calibrations have taken place (see page 13). OPERATING SCREEN The operating screen can be split up into the following sections. A description of the sections follows: Indication of the tramlining rhythm.
LH ”INTELLITRAM” 500 OPERATORS MANUAL OPERATION USER SELECTABLE OPERATION FUNCTIONS Repeatedly pressing the FUNCTION SELECTION key pages through the available operation functions. Each individual function is described in the following: FORWARD SPEED Key Description The present forward speed shown in kilometres per hour. AREA Key Description The worked area since the last reset (see page 19), displayed in ha. The area counter is shown with 2 decimals until 99.99 ha.
OPERATION LH ”INTELLITRAM” 500 OPERATORS MANUAL KG LEFT Key Description The amount remaining in the seed hopper (presupposes that the amount filled into the hopper has been encoded, see page 13). KG/HA Key Description The present seed rate shown as kg/ha. DISTANCE Key Description The driven distance since the last reset (see page 19). The distance driven is shown as metres up to 9999 m, thereafter as km (99.99, 999.9, 9999).
LH ”INTELLITRAM” 500 OPERATORS MANUAL ENCODE The encodement menu is selected from the main menu (press the menu key). Use hereafter the ARROW UP and ARROW DOWN keys to mark “Encode”. Press thereafter the ENTER key. The same principle is used to select the individual encodement menus. The machine type and the implement sensor delay must be encoded first. These encodements are found in the system menu (see page 22). Encode the machine settings next as these are machine related and need only be encoded once.
ENCODE LH ”INTELLITRAM” 500 OPERATORS MANUAL CALIBRATION GRAM/PULSE The weight, in gram, per pulse can be encoded directly if known. NEW CALIBRATION The procedure for calibration is thus: 1. Move the cursor to “New calibration” and press the ENTER key. 2. Turn the drill shaft a suitable number of rotations (see the seed drill instruction book), the computer counts the number of pulses. Press the ENTER key when finished. 3. Weigh the amount released (exactly) and enter this weight. Press the ENTER key. 4.
LH ”INTELLITRAM” 500 OPERATORS MANUAL ENCODE DRILL SHAFT The drill shaft warning is given if the drill shaft stops rotating. Encode whether the warning is active (on) or not active (off). Use the program keys 1 & 2 to switch the warning on or off. On most seed drills the drill shaft can be adjusted to rotate very slowly (1 rev. per 100 m). For the clutch and drill shaft warnings the minimum speed per minute is set to 0.6.
ENCODE LH ”INTELLITRAM” 500 OPERATORS MANUAL FORWARD SPEED SENSOR Selection of the forward speed sensor plus the speed calibration figure can be encoded here. It is also possible to automatically calibrate the forward speed sensor. Key Description Pressing this key (program key 1) selects Radar as the speed sensor (via the 7-pin DIN/ISO socket). If the number of pulses per 100 m is known it can be encoded directly.
LH ”INTELLITRAM” 500 OPERATORS MANUAL ENCODE RPM SENSOR The number of pulses per revolution for the following rpm sensors is encoded her: Clutch left, clutch right, drill shaft and fan. NUMBER OF ROWS Encode the total number of rows on the seed drill. ROWS IN TRACK Encode the number of rows closed, per track, when tramlines are made.
ENCODE LH ”INTELLITRAM” 500 OPERATORS MANUAL RETURNS Only on pneumatic seed drills. Key Description If the seed to the closed rows (when making tramlines) is returned to the hopper then select on. If the seed to the closed rows (when making tramlines) is distributed to the other rows then select off. STOPWATCH Select whether the stopwatch should be started and stopped with the implement sensor (select “Implement sensor”) so time is only registered when the seed drill is working.
LH ”INTELLITRAM” 500 OPERATORS MANUAL INFO & DATA/DELETE INFO The information menu gives an overview of different encodements and is selected from the man menu (press the MENU key). Use the ARROW UP and ARROW DOWN keys to mark “Info”. Press thereafter the ENTER key. Pressing the ARROW UP and ARROW DOWN keys pages through the following two screens: Info Kg left Trip counter no. Width (cm) Pulses.
INFO & DATA/DELETE LH ”INTELLITRAM” 500 OPERATORS MANUAL THE COUNTERS IN A TASK The screen to the left is displayed when the “Data/delete” menu is selected. A description of each individual counter follows: Trip counter 1/10 New counter Delete counter Kg Time Ha Metre 0 0:00:00 0.00 0 Kg: The total amount, in kg, since the task was started or since the counter was reset. Time: The total time since the task was started or since the counter was reset.
LH ”INTELLITRAM” 500 OPERATORS MANUAL INFO & DATA/DELETE RESETTING A TASK If the counters in a task are to be reset, select the task as described above and highlight “Delete counter”, press thereafter the ENTER key.
SYSTEM LH ”INTELLITRAM” 500 OPERATORS MANUAL SYSTEM The system menu is selected from the main menu (press the MENU key). Use the ARROW UP and ARROW DOWN keys to highlight “System” and press the ENTER key. CONTRAST/LIGHT Key Description Pressing this program key will make the screen lighter. Pressing this program key will make the screen darker. Pressing this program key will activate the auto-light function.
LH ”INTELLITRAM” 500 OPERATORS MANUAL SYSTEM TEST TEST INPUT Test input can be used if Directly under each input description, to the right, is a counter that registers the number of time the input has been activated (the counter is reset automatically each time “Test input” is exited or by pressing the C key). On the left-hand side the actual status of the input is shown (Hi/Lo). All of the different inputs can been seen by pressing the ARROW UP and ARROW DOWN keys to page through the 3 screens.
LH ”INTELLITRAM” 500 OPERATORS MANUAL TRAMLINING RHYTHMS TRAMLINING RHYTHMS There are many different possible combinations of different drill widths and cultivating equipment. To meet these needs the following tramlining rhythms are available. SYMMETRIC TRAMLINING RHYTHMS Common for all symmetric tramlining rhythms is that the shut off mechanisms are fitted symmetrically on the middle of the machine.
