Hectare counters HA and dHA
When you press this key, the total seeded area and the resettable partial areas (1 dha
and 2 dha) appear on the screen one at a time, with hectare as the unit of
measurement. You can reset the partial area values by pressing the “stop/ok” key and
the pole-lifting key (8) continuously for 3 seconds (cf. car odometer).

This key is used for changing the settings.
8.3

Stop / OK
By pressing this key quickly (for less than 4 seconds), the entered settings are
accepted and alarms given by the system are set as acknowledged.
With a long press (more than 4 seconds) of this key, a red LED light above the key
will be lit to indicate that the machine is in stop mode. When the seed fertilizer is
raised or lowered while this feature is on, the current rhythm position of the
tramlining device and the automatic marker-change function will not react. Stop mode
can be turned off by pressing the Stop/OK key quickly. This key is also used in
combination with the keys on bottom line of the monitor. (These functions are
explained later in this manual).
The position of the tramlining device is shown in the bottom left corner, where the
first of the numbers (e.g.
1: 5
) presenting the order in which wheel tracks are formed
stands for the momentary counter value (the current position reached within the
tramlining rhythm), and the value following the colon refers to the value that activates
the switches of the tramlining device that result in tramlining (the tramlining rhythm).

Tramlining device
8.5.1
Changing the current rhythm position
Wheel track automation is started by pressing key 5, after which the LED light
above the key starts to blink. The current rhythm position is changed with the plus and
minus keys. For example: when starting the seeding of a block, the value must be set
according to the width of the sprayer and the tramlining device.
8.5.2
Changing the tramlining rhythm
To change the tramlining rhythm, press the Stop/OK (4) and wheel track (5) keys on
the same time. The LED light above the wheel track key and the value indicating the
tramlining rhythm on the screen will then start to blink. The rhythm can be changed
with the plus and minus keys from 0 to 9.
0/0 = tramlining off
1/1 = tramlining on constantly
1/(2-9) = stepping tramlines when the machine climbs
