6 1 INTRODUCTION
1 INTRODUCTION
The LELY CENTRONIC II is an electronic control system for setting the application rates of CENTERLINER
S/SL/SE/SX Fertilizer Spreaders.
The control system comprises of:
• an operator’s box (A, fig. 1) A
• a terminal block (B)
• an actuator control box (C)
• a forward speed sensor (E) with code disc
E
• an actuator (F) for controlling the feed
assembly C
• a sensor (G) for measuring the spinner disc ®

speed.
The system may be extended with the LELY
G
CENTERMATIC weighing device*.
The CENTERMATIC weighing device is placed
between the tractor and the CENTERLINER B
spreader (or another machine). The trailed CEN-
TERMATIC weighing device is incorporated
into the carriage.
Depending on the model, the maximum admis-
® F
sible load is 3000 kg or 4300 kg. CENTERMATIC
The CENTRONIC control system automatically
adjusts the shutter position of the feed assembly 1
to the value which ensures the output required.
If the forward speed changes, the shutter position is adjusted automatically.
Without use of the CENTERMATIC weighing device, the shutter position is established on the basis of the
forward speed during spreading and of the data fed into the system. Such data may have been derived from the
output charts or may be the result of calibration tests.
The CENTERMATIC weighing device weighs permanently, also during driving. The shutter position is based
on the decrease of weight, as well as on the forward speed during spreading.
The CENTERMATIC weighing device brings about an adjustment of the shutter position if the output flow
changes. A discrepancy in the anticipated decrease of weight, caused by a change of output flow, is detected
immediately. The shutter position is then adjusted automatically.
Such application rates as have been adjusted may also be decreased or reduced (up to 50%) during spreading.
The CENTRONIC control system provides useful information such as:
• spinner disc speed;
• shutter position of feed device;
• forward speed;
• area worked;
• distance covered;
• weight of material applied (without CENTERMATIC: calculated/with CENTERMATIC: effective);
• weight of fertilizer in hopper (only when using CENTERMATIC).
The CENTRONIC can also be applied as an onboard computer for other types of equipment.
For speed measuring purposes, the (pulse) signal of a radar sensor or tractor speedometer can also be used (see
supplement C).

4 BASIC INSTALLATION OF THE CENTRONIC
The CENTRONIC offers a choice of text display in the Dutch, English, French or German language. A c hoice
can also be made between the metric and imperial unitary system.
Commissioning procedure:
F
- Engage the CENTRONIC control system by means of the Power button (A). G
- Press the “Prog” button and the headland spreading button (B+C) at the
A B C D
same time (approx. 5 seconds) until the display below appears.
SELECT METRIC - Select the unitary system required and press the
U N I TARY enter button (this manual is based upon the
SYSTEM metric system).
IMPERIAL
The accuracy with which the output required is applied depends, to a large extent, upon the setting factor that
was programmed.
If the CENTRONIC control system is used together with the CENTERMATIC weighing device, any difference
between the pre-programmed setting factor and the effective factor will be adjusted automatically. Therefore,
a difference in the output rate can only occur at the early stage of the spreading operation.
If the CENTRONIC control system is used only, a difference between the pre-programmed setting factor and
the effective factor will lead to a constant, proportional discrepancy in the output rate.
For this reason it is recommended, if at all possible, to carry out an output check when you operate without the
CENTERMATIC weighing device. The output check takes place during programming of the CENTRONIC
control system in the position AUTO (C); see next page. You then ensure the correct setting factor for the
fertilizer you are going to spread.
If you establish a difference in your output rate while working, you can make an adjustment by changing the
setting factor proportionally. If, for instance, the output is 10% too high, the setting factor should be decreased
by 10%.
When using the CENTERMATIC weighing device, the setting factor listed in the chart is sufficiently accurate.
A discrepancy, if any, is put right automatically by the CENTRONIC control system .
If a reliable setting factor is not known, a dynamic output check is recommended. This check is carried out
during the first spreading pass and ensures that the correct setting factor is established quickly. Please refer to
®
“6.5 Dynamic output check (CENTERMATIC )” for further details.

®
6.5 Dynamic output check (CENTERMATIC )
The aim of the dynamic output check is to establish the correct setting factor quickly.
This check is strongly recommended if a reliable setting factor of the fertilizer to be spread is not known,
especially if a minor output rate is required.
The starting- and final weight are established at the start of the spreading test and after having covered a
certain distance. The setting factor is calculated on the basis of the output and working width required, as well
as of the outcome of the check.
During programming the compliance with the suggested dynamic test may be affirmed or ignored:
If “YES” is selected during programming, the dynamic output check is started at the first switch from the
stand-by position to the operation position in the operation mode.
The following display then appears:
Observe the following instructions:
R E M A I N S TAT I O N A RY • Immobility of tractor (keep the engine running!).
THE STARTING WEIGHT • The hopper needs to contain sufficient fertilizer to
F O R T H E DYNAMIC SET- cover the distance required for the check.

• No fertilizer replenishing at this stage.
®
6.5 Dynamic output check (CENTERMATIC ) 35
• A spinner disc speed of 430-470 rpm is obligatory for an output check in the AUTO (C) position. During
operations, the spinner disc speed should be maintained which is listed in the CENTERLINER spreaders’s
output charts for the relevant kind of fertilizer.
• Such parameters as are selected by the CENTRONIC control system in the AUTO (C) position during the
first output check (shutter position/duration) are based upon the data stored in the CENTRONIC control
system for basic kinds of fertilizer (setting factor 100).
The CENTRONIC control system calculates the setting factor by comparing the quantity measured with the
anticipated output if a fertilizer with setting factor 100 would have been used.
A second output check is carried out with the parameters based on the setting factor of the first test and
therefore gives increased output accuracy, especially if the setting factor is far removed from 100.
• If the CENTERMATIC weighing device is used, check the unladen weight of the spreader prior to fertilizer
application. If the weight is not exactly zero, you need to tare the machine in the programming mode. Only
then will you obtain the correct data on the fertilizer balance and the area it can cover.
! • When disconnecting plugs, you need to apply the dust caps to both plug and connection. This
eliminates malfunctioning of connections, if any, caused by dust and/or fertilizer.
! • Clean the machine thoroughly after each operation. Never aim a water jet at electronic boxes and plug
connections.
! • In case job activities are required for the CENTERMATIC weighing device (and connected machine),
the wires of the load cells must be disconnected.

- Re-assemble the wheel to
the tractor. Leave the tractor
in its jacked-up position with a view to a check of the forward speed sensor, at a later stage of the assembly.
- Check if the swing of the code disc remains within 4 mm (radial direction) and 2 mm (axial direction) - see
fig. B-2.
5 mm
- Fit the sensor to the bracket.
The sensor’s position in
front of the code disc should
be roughly central in respect
of the slotted holes.
Adjust the distance between
the sensor and the code disc
at 5 mm (fig. B-4). B-3 B-4
- Guide the wire from the sensor to the tractor cab. Take care of moving and rotating parts and of parts which
may develop high temperatures. Tighten the wire by means of binder strips.

- Check the sensor by turning the tractor wheel to which the code disc was fitted.
Every pulse given by the sensor is accompanied by an acoustic signal. The display shows the number of
pulses.
The sensor has to give a pulse, each time a slotted hole of the code disc passes.
If this is not the case, then check the distance between the sensor and the code disc (approx. 5 mm, see fig.
B-4) and the swing of the code disc (see fig. B-2). Also, check if the sensor has a central position in respect of
the slotted holes. Make such adjustments as are necessary.
- After checking, press the enter button repeatedly, until the following display appears:
