in installation, operation and maintenance of the terminal.

5Safety information

Check technical failure

Before starting to use the terminal, check that it is in perfect working condition. In case of defective

components, contact your dealer for repair and replacement. Defective components may cause failure,

leading to damage or injury.

Keep in good working condition

Keep the terminal in good working condition.

Use original spare parts

Only use original Kverneland Group spare parts. Using other products may lead to malfunction of the

terminal or a reduced safety. Warranty is not valid when non-original spare parts are used.

Do not open the terminal

Do not open the terminal housing. Opening the housing may result in reduced lifetime and malfunc-

tion of the terminal. Opening the terminal renders warranty void.

Check cables

Check cable condition, replace damaged cables before connecting the terminal. Damaged cables may

lead to damage or malfunction of the terminal.

Disconnect power supply during maintenance

During installation or maintenance work, disconnect power supply from the battery. Otherwise dam-

age to the terminal may occur.

6Safety information

Watch the temperature range

Watch the temperature range of the terminal:

Storage temperature -20 to +60 degrees Celsius.

Operation temperature -10 to +50 degrees Celsius.

Extreme high or low operating temperatures may lead to malfunction of the terminal.

Intended use

This device is designed for use in agricultural or similar operations. Any other use of the device is unin-

tended use. The manufacturer and dealer are not liable for damage or injury caused by improper use.

Cleaning the terminal

Keep the terminal clean in all conditions. This enhances display clearness and workability.

Clean the terminal with a dry or slightly damp cloth.

Storing the terminal

When the terminal is not mounted in the tractor cab, store it in a dry and clean place. Obey the storage

ambient temperature range.

7Safety information

Troubleshooting

When technical failure occurs

stop operation!

refer to troubleshooting to solve the problem!

when the problem persists, contact your local dealer!

Continuing to operate when technical failure occurs may lead to damage to the device!

8ISOBUS

ISOBUS

Standard for tractor implement communication

Use of electronic control on tractors and implements has rapidly evolved during the last decades. An

ever increasing demand for integration of the electronics has lead to the development of an interna-

tional standard, ISO 11783, or commonly called ISOBUS. This protocol defines communication

between tractor electronics and implement electronics through a communication bus. This results in

the implement and the tractor electronics truly working together, where tractor information (like

speed and hitch position) can be used by the implement and the implement can be controlled with a

single tractor mounted terminal.

Additionally, it has become possible to make field operations site specific. Farm management systems

have been developed to create site specific application rate maps. This has lead to the ISOBUS stan-

dard ISO-XML also defining data transfer between the farm management system and the implement

to allow site specific operation.

9ISOBUS

IsoMatch Tellus GO and ISOBUS

With decades of experience in ISOBUS technology, Kverneland Group has now developed the next

generation ISOBUS terminal: IsoMatch Tellus GO.

The IsoMatch Tellus GO is tested by the DLG and has been certified following the latest ISOBUS 2009

standardizations.

The IsoMatch Tellus GO with its integrated Tractor ECU, supplemented with the IsoMatch Power set,

upgrades any non ISOBUS tractor to a fully ISOBUS compatible tractor.

Components of the ISOBUS system

The ISOBUS system consists of an ISOBUS tractor and an ISOBUS implement.

A fully compatible ISOBUS tractor has the following components

Universal Terminal. A terminal is mounted in the tractor to allow the operator to control connected

implements. This makes any separate implement control box unnecessary: one terminal allows con-

trol of all implements.

Implement connector. A 9-pin connector on the tractor allows connecting of the implement cable

to the tractor.

Task Controller. The Task Controller is an application, integrated in the terminal, which records task

data and handles site specific operations, based on input from a farm management system.

10ISOBUS

Battery cable. The tractor battery provides power to the implement.

ECU. An Electronic Control Unit on the tractor sends tractor sensor data to the implement.

An ISOBUS implement has the following components

Cable. A single cable provides power and communication to the imple-

ment. Connecting this cable to the implement connector is all that is re-

quired to operate the implement.

ECU. An Electronic Control Unit, mounted on the implement, controls the

implement. The ECU reads the implement sensors, and sends the sensor

data to the tractor for display on the terminal. It receives operator input

for implement control, and activates implement actuators.

11ISOBUS

Upgrade tractors to ISOBUS compatibility

The IsoMatch Tellus GO with its integrated Tractor ECU, upgrade tractors that are not ISOBUS compati-

ble. After upgrading, ISOBUS implements can be connected to the tractor.

Features

User friendly

By using a firm grip in combination with a touch screen, rotary button and 10 push buttons the Iso-

Match Tellus GO provides a unique accurate usage:

The grip bar with included rotary button and 10 push buttons makes operating the terminal easy and

intuative.

By placing the push buttons on the right hand side of the display, all soft keys are easy accessible.

Working with soft keys on a 7 inch touch screen, supported by an alpha-numeric keyboard make the

IsoMatch Tellus GO the most user friendly ISOBUS terminal in the market.

Robust and resistant

The housing is a robustly designed body with brushed aluminium front. The rubber seal ring protects

the terminal in rough and harsh agricultural conditions.

Integrated BasicDoc task controller

The integrated BasicDoc software package offers the documentation of:

Fuel consumption (if provided by the tractor)

13ISOBUS

Total of hectares

Working time

ISOBUS implement working time

Machine specific totals (e.g. total amount of bales or total amount of fertiliser spread)

After completing a task the user can store a report on an USB memory stick. The report contains al the

totals and personalities which can be viewed and printed in any internet browser.

Extendibility

Compatible components can easily be connected to the terminal

External application rate controllers like crop nitrogen sensor.

External ISOBUS controls like joysticks
