4.2 RATE PAGE
The RATE page (Fig. 20) serves to set the quantity of product to be distributed.
During operation, this page is used to change the quantity of product to be distributed per hectare (Kg/Ha or grains/m²).
Note: the unit must be set on the SETUP page.
The RATE page shows the following:
1) the current metering value;
2) the metering setpoint;
3) the difference between current metering value and setpoint (in
percentage);
4) the step set to change the metering quantity;
5) two function b and – (C in Fig. 1) to manually change the
metering value with the step setpoint (this value is set in the
SETUP page, “Customise” menu);
6) the Reset button, which is used to reset the current metering
value against the setpoint;
7) the max. working speed within which the current metering value
is applicable.
4.2.1 SETTING THE METERING VALUE
On the RATE page, enter the new value using the numeric keypad (H in Fig. 1). Then, press ENTER to confirm.
The display now shows the max. working speed allowed by the metering system.
WARNING: the actual quantity of product that the pneumatic system on the machine can dispense depends on the drill width and
the working speed as illustrated in the diagrams on page 13 (
Table 2 and Table 3 ).
Another possible solution for changing the metering value is the “step” (percentage increment) function. The increment value must
be preliminarily set on the
SETUP page.
Any changes of the metering value against the setpoint triggers a blinking light on the display.
The new value also appears on the
MAIN page, which is commonly used during operation.
Press the function button to reset the metering setpoint.
