5.1.3 Calibration of the hectare meter or entry of wheel impulses
An impulse count for an operating length of 100 m is required for accurate hectare
metering and correct drive speed display.
This can be determined in two different ways:
• Entry of wheel impulses using the table
or
• by taking an actual reading of the number of impulses
The table value should always be entered first. Calibration of the hectare meter should
only be carried out if the unit is giving inaccurate readings.
5.1.3.1 Calibration of the hectare meter
Calibration of the hectare meter involves adapting it to the ground conditions of the land
being cultivated. This operation should only be carried out if the unit is giving inaccurate
readings.
Calibration is carried out directly in the field.
The calibration symbol <GAUG> will appear first, followed after seconds by the
previously set wheel impulse count.
Stop calibration:
If you need to stop the calibration procedure, or carry it out later, briefly press the F
key. The program will then jump directly to the next adjustment setting menu, wheel
impulses <InPu>.
Calibrating the unit:
Proceed as follows if calibration is required:
Drive the machine to the beginning of the field test section.
Measure out a 100 m stretch of field
Press arrow key
A
, <FAhr> = “drive off” indication appears
Drive along the test section. The seed drill monitor will now total up the number of
hectare meter impulses.
After reaching the end of the test section, press arrow key
V
and the seed drill monitor
will stop recording the number of impulses.
Press the
F
key to save the impulse reading. (See sect. 5.1.7)
After adjustment the inputting of wheel impulses is inapplicable. The program will now
move on to the next adjustment setting menu: wheel impulses <InPu>.
5.1.3.2 Entry of wheel impulses
The wheel impulse symbol <InPu> will be displayed first, followed after
sec by the previously set impulse count.
In the case of the VITASEM, impulse count depends on the size of the drive wheel:
VITASEM
Impulse count / 100 m
Tyre 6.00-16
805
Tyre 10.0/75-15.
762
Ground wheel
74
Use arrow key
A
or
V
to select impulse count and press the
F
key to save. (See sect.
5.1.7)
The following step is sowing shaft monitoring adjustment.
