3.9 Setting the on/off point delays

When the part-width sections are switched on

, it

takes a few hundred milliseconds until the application/
spreading actually starts

. The switch-on delay

can cause underlaps in working the field. When the part-
width sections are switched off, it also takes several hun-
dred milliseconds until the application/spreading actually
stops. This switch-off delay can cause overlaps in work-
ing the field.

The on/off point delays compensate for these delays
with switching the part-width sections on and off.

NOTE

The on/off point delays can only be set for AMABUS
seed drills and AMABUS sprayers.

NOTE

The

"On point delay"

must be set such that the appli-

cation/spreading starts precisely and therefore avoids
underlaps.

The

"Off point delay"

must be set such that the appli-

cation/spreading stops precisely and therefore avoids
overlaps.

Boundaries for starting and stopping the applica-
tion/spreading:

Boundary from the worked to unworked area

Field boundary

Headland boundary

If there are undesired overlaps or underlaps, the cor-
rect on/off delays can be taken from a table or deter-
mined with a formula; see page 89.

Desired overlaps or underlaps can be defined in the

Overlap in the direction of travel"

setting, see

page 109.

REQUIREMENTS
