Mechanical version
The distribution of the seed or fertiliser to the
hoses is adjusted via the levers (c).
Lever (d) adjusts the valve (e) so that seed/
fertiliser is each introduced into the air flow on
the side opposite the lever (f):

Twin hopper version: The lever position shown
applies to both levers in each case.
¾
Adjust both levers centred:

Use only symmetric cell rotors in both meter-
ing units.
Electrical design
The valve is adjusted with the positioning motors
on the metering units:
Mechanical half-width shut-off
The seed hoses on the coulters of the side to be
switched off are allocated to a distributor tower.
No seed or fertiliser may flow through the hose
leading to this distributor tower.
¾
Place both levers in the direction of the re-
spective hose:
The seed and fertiliser quantity must be halved
in the terminal.
Both metering quantities can be reduced, for
example, to 50 % via the %-adjustment button.
Please make sure that both metering units are
switched “ON” on the page “Machine data” under
“Delta Step”.
Half of the desired quantities can also be entered
for both metering units in kg/ha.
In both cases the drilled area is counted over
the entire machine width.
If the correct display of the drilled area is re-
quired, the working width must be divided in
half in the machine configuration. The seed
and fertiliser quantity must in this case not be
changed manually.
Tram line with half-width shut-off
If a tram line is required with section shut down
enabled, one must consider the installation po-
sition of the valves.
Hoses may need to be replugged or the control
adapted.
Seed flow monitoring with half-width shut-off
If the switched off section is equipped with
sensors for seed flow monitoring, these would
indicate corresponding alarm messages in the
terminal.
You can either switch off seed flow monitoring,
or unplug the sensors and correct their number
in the machine configuration.
