+/- appl. rate

In this menu, you can specify a percentage 

volume change

 for the normal 

spreading type.
The basis (100 %) is the pre-set value of the dispensing slider opening.

Figure 4.26:

+/- appl. rate (%) menu

Specifying weight reduction:
1.

Switch from the 

Hopper configuration 

menu  to the 

+/- appl. rate

 menu.

2.

Enter the percentage value by which you wish to modify the spreading volu-
me.
Input of values into the operator panel is described in section 

4.9.2: Input of 

values using the cursor keys, page 76

.

3.

Press the 

Enter key

.

4.5.4

Curve correction

The fully enclosing spreading disc protector creates a vacuum effect when the 
spreading disc rotates, which leads to deviation from the target application vol-
ume. The suction effect is greater with low mass flows (small metering slide open-
ing) than with large mass flows.
By entering the curve correction, you can counter this effect.

NOTICE

During operation you can use the button F2/F3 to change the spreading volume 
by the factor of the +/- volume at any time.
Use the button 

100 %

 to restore the pre-set values again.

NOTICE

The curve correction should 

under normal conditions

 always be set 

to 0
