Introduction
INTRODUCTION
ABOUT THE 7000
The 7000 series is a versatile monitoring and control device that is capable of interfacing with many
agricultural systems.
A 4.3” colour touch screen provides a simple but powerful interface for operators as well as providing the
ability to monitor multiple inputs at once.
The display is fully configurable to show any combination of monitored values in both metric and imperial
units. It is also configurable to let the operator control the system outputs by selecting onscreen buttons.
The 7000 series devices have connections for a monitoring camera as well as many different input and
output connections depending on the system configuration. Inputs and outputs to the 7000 series devices
can all be set with alarms to notify the operator if anything goes beyond set low/ high/ proportional
thresholds.
The 7000 terminals can be used in many agricultural applications including but not limited to:
• Spray Controller Model 74V1
• Variable Rate Controller Model 7500
• Spreader Rate Controller Model 7300
ABOUT THIS GUIDE
Read this operating manual before commissioning the 7000 terminals. Keep this operating manual where it
is accessible to all users at any time. Every person who is assigned to commission or operate the 7000 must
have read and understood the operating manual and the safety instructions in particular!
This operating manual contains instructions that must be complied with for your personal safety and in
order to avoid damage to property.
Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in fire, electric shock, or other personal injury or
damage to the 7000 terminal or other property.

7500 Seed Rate Controller
7500 SEED RATE CONTROLLER
OVERVIEW
The Farmscan Seed Rate controller 7500 was developed to provide advanced seed rate control capabilities
whilst maintaining an extremely simple Tile & Tab user interface.
The controller has a variety of selectable display and control options that can be configured to suit a
specific application or user preference. The controller options and calibration setup can also be locked to
limit operator access.
The optional switch box controller incorporates 6 Bin/Tank control switches, master on/ off control and
up/ down rate control.
The 7500 can control hydraulic, electric drive or linear actuators.
A large colour LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) touch screen provides all the information required to operate
the device in one view including direct readouts for rate, speed, tank level, trip area, trip volume, time and
pressure (optional when used with liquid). Special icons indicate active control options.
Seed records are maintained for virtually an unlimited number of paddocks (memory dependent) in the
Jobs screen and may be exported in CSV format via USB to a Windows or Apple-based record keeping
program.
The controller may be operated in automatic, manual or GPS (Slave/ Task) mode - variable rate map (VRC
control via Shape File). In Automatic and Slave mode, the control drive responds automatically to speed to
maintain the target rate. Manual increment and decrement of the target rate is also possible.
In Slave/ Task mode, the controller will accept rate commands from a separate guidance/ task computer
linked to GPS and simultaneously report back on rate applied for the purpose of rate mapping and
verification of seeded area. (NB. Some of these features are still under development)
In the event of an error, an audible warning alerts the operator by displaying a red tile (assuming that this
function has been selected on the display) text on a tab which can then be selected to explain the fault.
The 7500 terminal is connected via CANbus to provide drive control and sensor feedback
A standard wheel sensor can be supplied for ground speed pickup or a radar speed sensor may be
connected using the inbuilt radar interface. Alternatively, a GPS can be used to provide ground speed.
