3. Introduction
About THE LEGEND ISOBUS
THE LEGEND ISOBUS
The Legend ISOBUS is a Rate and Blockage ECU to be used with a Virtual Terminal (VT) on a CAN 2.0b bus. The CAN protocol is based on the ISO 11783 standard. It operates with basic functionality which includes blockage detection and seed count of all sensors every second.
The Legend ISOBUS uses infrared seed sensors to measure seed rate and check for blockages. The sensors operate on a similar principle to that of a motion detector in a security system.
2 Loops / 120 Sensors each
The Legend ISOBUS can communicate with two individually controlled Sensor Loops each capable of handling 120 sensors (separate seed and fertilizer runs).
THE LEGEND ISOBUS Features
2X faster notification of blockages
Not affected by wire breaks
10X higher Seed Rates
5X more resistant to chemical buildup
Improved snap-fit sensor cable connection
Tip: When compared to previous Agtron ART systems
MNST10200 P a g e | 8 Software Revision 1.00
Using Virtual Terminals with Your ISO Rate and Blockage System
Several companies manufacture ISOBUS compatible Virtual Terminals. Although the locations and types of controls may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, all terminals use the same icons to represent the main functions.
Any ISOBUS compatible virtual terminal (VT) should be able to communicate with and control your Legend ISOBUS. When the VT in your tractor is connected to the Legend ISO it downloads the information from the ECU and displays it on the VT’s screen. The central part of the screen displays information pages identically, regardless of the VT you are using. Typically, icons representing other pages are located around, or to the side of the central part of the screen. Selecting these soft keys enables you to navigate to the pages they represent. The location of page icons may vary depending on the manufacturer of the VT. Also, some VTs have touch screens, whereas others use pushbuttons located around the outside of the screen, adjacent to on-screen icons.
ISOBUS compatible VTs can be used to set up, operate and monitor your Legend ISOBUS Rate and Blockage system, but the exact details of how to access and change values and settings may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. For example, when entering numerical values during system setup, some VTs may open a keypad-style page. Others may assign numbers to buttons around the outside of the screen. For this reason, procedures in this manual simply state “Enter the numerical value for…” You will have to consult the manufacturer’s operating manual for your specific VT to determine the details.
Go to www.agtron.com to view the current Virtual Terminals that can be used with your Rate and Blockage system.
Tip: For detailed information on how to operate your Virtual Terminal, refer to its operation manual.

MNST10200 P a g e | 10 Software Revision 1.00
Main Extension Cables
When making Extension Cable connections, make sure you align the molded arrows. If they are difficult to push together, check the condition of the pins. For each Loop (1 for Single; 2 for Dual):
1. Connect the cable from the ECU to a 10ft or 20ft Main Extension Cable.
2. Route the Main Harness Extension Cable to the implement hitch.
3. Secure the Main Harness Extension Cable to the equipment with cable ties, allowing enough slack for hitch movement.
Seed Sensor and Sensor Loop Cable Installation 1. Select a mounting location near the distributor.
Locate the Seed Sensors in the hose above the implement chassis to protect the Seed Sensors and cables from field debris damage.
2. Secure the Seed Sensors in the hose using metal hose clamps on each side (Agtron Part# 400TRHS16 not included).
3. Select a seed sensor on the far left of the machine to be seed sensor #1. Leave the female plug of this sensor unplugged, but connect the male plug to the seed sensor beside it. This will be sensor #2.
4. Continue connecting seed sensor #2 to seed sensor #3 and so on, until the manifold is all connected. Attach a Sensor Loop cable to the male end of the last sensor on the first manifold.
5. Connect the male end of the Sensor Loop Cable to the female end of the first seed sensor on the second manifold. Continue in this fashion until you reach the far right side of the implement, leaving the male end on the last sensor unplugged.
6. Using cable ties attach all cables to the frame of the implement. Avoid pinch points such as wing & opener lift points.
The Sensor Loop Cables should not be stretched tight when connected.

Main Screen (Symbols, Blockage and Rate)
This section describes the calibrations needed to use THE LEGEND ISOBUS system. The following screen shows the information displayed on the Main screen of THE LEGEND ISOBUS.
The Main screen shows information about Loop 1 on the top, and Loop 2 on the bottom. Sensitivity is shown on the left side, Seed Rate is shown on the right side and Loop/Sensor status is shown in several different symbols and colors to indicate various types of information.
During normal operation the boxes will be green and display a Seed Rate on the right side. When you first receive THE LEGEND ISOBUS, the Seed Rate indication is not calibrated for your air seeder. The Seed Rate Wizard allows you to set the system to indicate the Actual Seed Rate you are applying, in your preferred units. (E.g. If you are applying 100 lbs/acre it will indicate a value of 100).
The Seed Rate Wizard is described in the Rate Mode section of manual.
Sensitivity relates to blockage monitoring and detects whether the number of seeds flowing through a sensor over a period of time (e.g. 20 seeds per second) drops below the minimum rate. Seed Rate relates to the volume of product applied to an area of the field (e.g. 20 seeds/m2 or 100 lbs/acre). Seed Rate alarms detect when that application rate exceeds or drops below preset High or Low alarm values.

Blockage Mode
Sensitivity is used to setup blockage monitoring. The sensitivity value (between 1 and 10) sets the minimum rate that seed must flow through the sensors before a blockage alarm occurs. It is normal for seed flow rate to vary slightly during seeding. The goal is to set the sensitivity value high enough to detect actual blockages without causing nuisance alarms due to slight variations in seed flow rate.
To set the sensitivity:
1. Check the condition of your air seeder and ensure that there are no blockages
2. Begin seeding
3. On the Main screen, press the sensitivity icon. you can manually enter in a sensitivity value or press Wizard and a value will automatically be selected for you. (The range of values is between 0 and 10, 0 turns loop off)
4. Press Accept after a value has been manually entered and press Done
Tip: A Blockage Sensitivity value of zero (0) disables the power and alarms to the Sensor loop. You must be seeding in order to set Sensitivity correctly.

Rate Mode
Use the following procedure to set up Seed Rate in your preferred units:
1. Begin seeding at a known application rate based on your air seeder settings
2. Press the Seed Rate Wizard
The Seed Rate Wizard screen appears, select the red number and the on-screen keyboard will appear
3. Enter the current Seed Rate in your preferred units (seeds/acre, pounds/acre, etc)
4. Press the Enter button on the keyboard
5. Press the Done button on the Seed Rate Wizard
Tips: In order for the Seed Rate Wizard to work no sensors can be blocked! You must have a speed source and be seeding in order to set Seed Rate.

Type of Problem
Symptom/Diagnostic Step Recommended action
Blocked Sensor The sensor indicated is blocked.
Clean blockage from indicated run.
If the indicated run is not blocked…
…verify the Sensitivity is not set too high. Check inside the distribution towers for any foreign material. This may cause blockages to move from sensor to sensor.
If it is always the same sensor giving the blocked message… If blocked message moves with the sensor…
Intermittent Blockage Alarms
…trade that sensor with one in another position. …replace that sensor
Check history screen for frequency and adjust sensitivity as needed
Displays ERROR alarms when one loop is disabled, but no alarms when both loops enabled
Typically this means that loops are all connected but cables are crossed either going to sensor 1 or coming back from the last sensor.
Trace sensor cables from the main wiring harness to the first and last sensor of one loop. Re-connect the cables correctly.
Clean Sensor The sensor indicated is dirty If sensor has been cleaned and is still giving the clean message…
Clean the infrared optical eyes in the sensor using a bottle brush or wet rag …replace the sensor
High and Low Rate Alarms The sensor indicated is constantly showing High or Low Rate alarms… If moves with the sensor…
