Process of detecting a load
The loads are recorded by the reed sensor, which must receive a certain
number of impulses, and a pause time, which must then pass at least. If both
conditions are met, a load is counted.
The minimum number of pulses ensures that even interruptions in the spreading
process, and thus exceeding the break time, do not lead to an additional load
(e.g. break while driving, longer drive at the headland, drive to the next field ...)
The pause time, in turn, ensures that no additional load is counted even if the
scraper floor is running for a long time or a trailer is tipped up several times.
As soon as more than 100 impulses are required for a load, individual impulses
that occur during the break are not recorded (for example if the PTO shaft
moves a little while driving on the road).
This logic ensures the greatest possible security when recording the number of
loads.

Setting the parameters
For the correct recording of the loads, the parameters for the number of pulses
and the pause time may have to be adjusted. In mode 5B, the parameters for
time recording are also available.
To open the parameter menu, briefly press the "M" key. The first parameter that
is relevant for the set operating mode appears on the display.
The name of the parameter is displayed for two seconds, then the set value
appears.
Use the "+" or "-" keys to change the value of the parameter. The value of the
parameters IMP and dELA can be increased or decreased by 100 by pressing
the button for more than a second.
Use the "M" key to change to the next parameter, the set value is saved. After
the last parameter, the first parameter is displayed again.
To exit the menu, press and hold the "M" button for three seconds, or simply
wait 10 seconds without pressing a button.
