10.2.3 Barrel
After the grain transfer in the metering unit the grain drops through the barrel to
the ground.
The sensor is the basis for monitoring the drilling process. The sensor detects each
grain and reports it to the computers.
These evaluate the data and times between grain signals and use this information to
calculate the variation coefficient (drilling accuracy), faults and double seeds.
The Barrel and the sensor must therefore be correctly assembled and fastened.
