V. OPERATING INFORMATION
The response parameter is used to adjust the
response time of both photocells. How quickly the
down motion starts when no corn is detected by either
the top or bottom cells, and how quickly the up motion
is stopped when corn is no longer detected by the top
cell, can be changed by selecting R1, R2, R3, or R4.
More corrections will occur with R1 selected, and few-
er corrections with R4 selected. The normal or default
value for this parameter is R2, but can be set to any
desired value.
Use the response parameter to adjust overall
correction activity and to compensate for ground
speed. If the pullers are moving too quickly and fre-
quently, the response parameter can be increased
toward R4. If the pullers are too slow to respond to
changes in the corn depth, increase the parameters

toward R1. Generally this parameter can be left at R2.
