54 / CONTROL CHANNEL SETUP
PRECHARGE TIME
Precharge Time is a specified length of time a control channel will operate
or be active with a minimum precharge ground speed greater than 0 (Refer
to the Speed Set section for Precharge Ground Speed setup information).
This feature will activate the control when the master/control switch is
turned ON even without ground speed.
The Precharge feature is typically used in applications that have significant
distance between the implement row unit and storage bulk tank where seed
placement takes several seconds due to the travel time of the seed/fertilizer
from the bulk tank to the ground.
The Precharge feature will operate until the precharge time lapses or the
precharge ground speed has been exceeded. If the master/control switch is
turned OFF, the precharge feature will abort.
A Precharge Alarm displays any time the Preset feature is established or
changed and the master/control switch is turned ON.
IMPORTANT: A Precharge number MUST be entered as a positive
number (5.0 seconds) for the system to identify between
a Precharge or Delay Time state.
To Activate Precharge:
1. At the Control screen, enter a Precharge time. A Precharge Time must
be entered as a POSITIVE number (5.0 seconds) before the
Precharge Ground Speed feature displays on the Speed Setup screen
(Refer to Ground Speed section).
2. Press the Top Menu button and select the Speed Set button.
3. Enter a Precharge Ground Speed greater than 0.
IMPORTANT: Turn the master/control switch ON to activate the
Precharge feature.
DELAY TIME
IMPORTANT: A Delay Time number MUST be entered as a negative
number (-5.0 seconds) for the system to identify
between a Delay Time or Precharge state. At the virtual
keypad, scroll the rotary knob counter clockwise until
negative numbers appear.
NOTE:
Delay Time functionality may
work differently than described
above if the system has been
purchased direct from the
original equipment
manufacturer. Refer to the
manufacturer’s operator
manual for further instruction.
With an Implement Lift Switch
Delay Time determines the length of time before the control channel will
start after the master/control switch has been turned ON and the implement
switch is in a lowered position.
•
The system will immediately shutdown the channel when the
implement lift switch is in the raised position.
•
The system will delay the channel shutdown if the master/control
switch is turned OFF and the implement is in the down position.
