2. General description
The Dorado MX3 kit is a system designed for application on pneumatic precision
seed drills, the main functions of which are:
Check of the sowing distance and seed life for each row (max 12 rows);
the data for sowing distance and seed life is represented in numeric
format (value) and in analogue format (histograms)
Audible and visual alarms in the event of sowing that does not comply or
the absence of fertiliser
Calculation of the processed area; a total counter and a partial counter are
available.
There are also other functions available such as:
Display of RPM fan and visual and audible alarms (RPMmax and RPMmin
programmable)
Display of the depression related to the sowing system
The connection architecture of the Dorado MX3 kit is of modular and self-
configuring type; up to a maximum of 12 seed sensors can be controlled, to which 2
additional inputs for other sensors are added (feed-rate, RPM fan, vacuum gauge).
Each seeding ECU can handle 12 seed sensor inputs; a configuration connector
has been provided to connect its accessory. Each seeding ECU can be connected
indifferently to each wiring harness and the KIT will automatically recognise the
configuration. The diagram on the next page shows the main configurations (for
different configurations, contact Elettronica's Technical Department).
