PRODUCT CONTROL USER SETTINGS
During field operations, ROS creates and displays a live coverage reference map for the equipment operator.
During rate control operations (e.g. seeding, product application, etc.), the ROS device will display field areas in
which the actual monitored rate of product application is at, or within tolerance, of the target rate or where the
actual rate is too high or too low.
To access the available product control User Settings:
1. Touch the Administrator or User Panel at the top of the Main Panel display.
2. Select the User Profile button.
3. Swipe or use the page navigation at the bottom of the General User Settings prompt to access the product
control user settings. The following fields will be available on the product control user settings display:
RATE THRESHOLDS
ROS allows each user to set the high and low limits tolerated for application before the system provides an alert or
alarm condition during field operations.
Max Rate Threshold. Enter the top limit for product application before the ROS device provides alerts for a high
rate condition.
Min Rate Threshold. Enter the bottom limit tolerated for product application before the ROS device provides
alerts for a low rate condition.
Rate Colors. Touch the High, OK, and Low rate colors to select custom rate colors for the user.
Zero Rate Tolerance. Dry or granular application systems rely upon one or more encoders to monitor the
application system and measure the rate of product being applied. In some instances, such as when driving
through zero rate zones or with the application system toggled off, the encoders may register a false rate pulse
due to excessive bouncing or jarring of the equipment. These false signals will be recorded by the ROS device
as an area of product coverage and will be displayed in the job report and may display as over application in
zero rate zones.
The zero rate tolerance value is intended to help filter these pulses and eliminate encoder “chatter” when the
application system is not engaged or actively spreading product.
Enter the minimum application rate, in pounds per acre [kilograms per hectare], required for the control system
to register as field coverage during application control operations. Any rate signals received below this
threshold will be ignored and will not count toward the product volume or coverage area applied.
NOTE: On some machines, the main bin will supply a relatively high volume of product and the tolerance
may be set relatively high. Other bins that supply micro-nutrients may apply material at a much lower
rate and will require a lower zero rate tolerance value.
