Calibration test

After calibration, weigh the seed and enter the value in kg

Minimum and maximum driving speed [km/h]If the limits are nor reached or exceeded, an alarm is triggered. Theinformation provided relates to the driving speed theoretically sup-ported by the metering device. Out on the field, the maximum drivingspeed is determined by other factors. The type of the seed, nature ofthe soil, equipment of the seeding machine and the desired accuracyof seed placement, for example, are such factors.

Several calibration tests can be generated. If the seed is the sameseed and has the same properties, the values of a calibration test al-ready performed can be used.However, if, for example, the TGW (thousand grain weight) of the seeddiffers, we recommend that a new calibration test be performed.

25

Calibration test

Performing a cali-bration test

You can start the calibration test via the terminal or directly on the me-tering device.

Input The following values must be entered first of all:

The following settings are calculated and must be set on the meteringdevice:

Place a catch pan under the metering device or devices

Do not start the tractorDuring the calibration test, persons may be in the machine's hazardarea. Do not start the tractor and leave the tractor's handbrake ap-plied.Anyone located in the hazard area of the machine may be seriouslyor fatally injured by moving machine parts or by movement of themachine itself.

Calibration test

Special seed Proceed as follows if you wish to spread a seed type which is not inthe software's selection list or a mixture of seed:

• Select a seed type which is most similar to the size and nature of your seed

Performing a calibration test

Start the test run

The software cannot compensate for differences between the desiredapplication rate and the actual application rate because the propertiesof the special seed are unknown. It is therefore not possible to achieveexactly the desired application rate.

You can increase or decrease the application rate manually. Use thesettings for increased amount or decreased amount to do this.→ Chapter »Information screen«, Chapter »Page 2«, page 12

Mixture If you wish to spread a mixture of two or more seed types, proceed asfollows:

• Start with the largest seed and select the seed from the selection list in the software

Performing a calibration test

Start the test run

The more the seed types differ, the greater the difference will be be-tween the desired application rate and the actual application rate. Thedistribution of the mixture changes as soon as filling starts and later onin the seed hopper, for example due to vibrations. This separates theseed types. It is therefore not possible to achieve exactly the desiredapplication rate, particularly where the mixture contains smaller seedtypes.

You can increase or decrease the application rate manually. Use thesettings for increased amount or decreased amount to do this.→ Chapter »Information screen«, Chapter »Page 2«, page 12

Manual starting You can start the metering device manually. A key is located directlyon the metering device.

Press the key. The metering device starts.

28

Calibration test

After calibration, the seed from the catch pan must be weighed.

Enter the weighing result in kg

The amount weighed can deviate from the desired amount. For exam-ple, if 200 kg/ha of wheat are to be applied, but the amount weighedat 0.10 ha corresponds to only 18 kg instead of the expected 20 kg,this is then not an error. Please enter the result of the weighing fromthe calibration. Not until the test run is a working run simulated with theset values. Therefore always perform a test run.

After the weighing result has been entered, “OK” appears on the dis-play.When confirmed, the weighing result is converted to the driving speed.

Confirm the “OK” on the display

Start the test run A test run is advisable, especially if a calibration test with a differentseed quality is to be adopted.

Abort the test run

Start test run or start manually→ Chapter »Calibration test«, section »Manual starting«, page 27

PausePress again: Continue test run

Place a catch pan under the metering device or devices

“T-ON”: The seeding machine is to apply seed starting from a particu-lar point, for example after leaving the headland.To do this, the metering device must already be delivering seed beforethat point is reached. A few seconds are required for transporting theseed from the metering device to the coulters.Specify the time here in seconds when the metering device shouldstart to deliver seed before the point is reached. You will thereby en-sure that the seed has arrived at the coulters when the point isreached. The “T-ON” value must be greater than the “T-OFF” value.

“T-OFF”: The seeding machine is to apply no seed starting from a par-ticular point, for example when reaching the headland.To do this, the metering device must already stop delivering seed be-fore that point is reached. A few seconds are required for transportingthe seed from the metering device to the coulters.Specify the time here in seconds when the metering device shouldstop delivering seed before the point is reached. You will thereby en-sure that no more seed arrives at the coulters when the point isreached. The “T-OFF value must be smaller than the “T-ON” value.

The “T-ON” and “T-OFF” times are dependent on a number of factors.For example:

• Driving speed when reaching the point at which seed is to be ap-plied – “T-ON” or no more seed is to be applied – “T-OFF”

• Type of seed

• Nature of the seed

The device cannot be switched on

The poles of the supply voltage are reversed

• Have the polarity checked

Power supply interrupted • Check the battery connecting cables

• Check the terminals on the battery

• Check the fuse

• If necessary: Replace the 60 A fuse

• Connect the power cable if the power supply was dis-connected

• Check the voltage:The supply voltage must be 12 – 14 V

System failure Inform the Customer Service

No read out on the display The contrast regulator is set incor-rectly

Make adjustments until the dis-play text is visible

Display does not receive any pulse Start the device again.If, after a new start, nothing is shown in the display or the dis-play cannot be changed, send the device back to the manufacturer.

The computer displays unex-pected values

A mobile telephone, radio or radio antenna is operating too close to the device

Keep a minimum distance of 1 metre

Speed is not displayed or is dis-played too low

Entry of an pulse missing Enter the number of pulses

Cable on the wheel sensor is de-fect or the wheel sensor is defec-tive

Check cable and replace if neces-sary

The device is defective Inform the Customer Service

Fault Cause Remedy

Alarms can be confirmed with the “OK” key. The audible warning signal will stop and you can look for and eliminate the cause of the alarm without being disturbed.

All values have been reset to thefactory settingIncorrect entries or errors on the board

Re-enter all inputs for the ma-chine If the error occurs again, the board is defective and must be re-placed.

Eliminating faults

The driving speed is falling belowthe minimum driving speed fromthe calibration

Increase the driving speed

The metering device drive motor isrotating at a speed under 25 rpm

Check the metering device for for-eign bodies

The rotational speed of the meter-ing device drive motor is falling be-low the set rotational speed bymore than 10%

Check the metering device for for-eign bodies

The set rotational speed of the me-tering device drive motor is beingexceeded by more than 10%


Calibration test not correct Perform the calibration test again

Seed hopper is almost empty Fill the seed hopper

Wrong metering roller fitted Fit the correct metering roller

Flap on the metering device isopen during sowing

Close the flap on the metering de-vice

Flap on the metering device isclosed during the calibration test

Open the flap on the metering de-vice and place a catch pan under-neath

Calibration test:The required speed does not cor-respond to the inputs in the cali-bration test

Select the corresponding speed

Calibration test:The required speed is too high andwill be adjusted

Confirm the alarm and travel atthe specified speed
