Calibration:
The Aitchison E-Drive Calibration provides an easier and faster means of setting up your
Seed Drill compaired to the traditional calibration process. This section describes how to set
up and complete the calibration process.
Important : Only calibrate one hopper at a time.
Preparation : Load the product, Prime the Hoppers and set up the product catchment.
•
Load the Product : Load the product over the catchment outlets for calibration.
•
Prime Hoppers : Press and hold the desired prime button until the product flows freely.
Forgetting to prime the hoppers before calibration will result in a false application rate.

appear.

An instructions tab can be found at the
bottom of the window.
2. Start Calibration : To start/pause calibration, press
the products prime button on the machine. The
calibration will stop itself automatically when complete and the interface will buzz for
1s. The interface will update, showing a weight and outlets input field for the calibrated
hopper. The second hopper can be calibrated once
the buzzer signals completion.
•
If the buzzer does not sound when the
motor stops and the interface is not
updated, quick press the prime button.
•
Only calibrate one Hopper at a time.
•
If the catchment is nearing overflow,
pause the calibration using the prime button, collect the product and continue
with an empty catchment.
•
