•
Before drilling, ensure that the same type of output
roller is fitted to all output units.
•
Perform a new output check in the field after drilling
about a hectare.
Regularly check that deposits have not built up on the
feed rollers and in the output units.

Calibration of micro-granulate
Go to the calibration menu by selecting Settings/
Calibration. Select Micro-granulate

A. Calculates the number of pulses.
Calibration menu settings (Values are displayed either in
metric or imperial units, depending on which one has
been selected in the basic settings menu).
B. Select which of the output units is to be calibrated (i.e.
a row with a calibration bag). The position of the
output units is the same as that of the row unit.
If the calibration is to cover all output units, select
ON (default setting). If the calibration is to be done
individually for only one row unit, select A.
C. Enter the required micro-granulate feed rate.
D. Enter the weight of the calibration bag contents.
E. Calculates pulses/kg. (You can also enter pulses/kg
manually by pressing the row and entering the value
in the pop-up window.)
F. Output for filling the output system.

Calibration
Figure 11.21
The calibration is normally carried out on one output unit
and the values are automatically carried over to the
others. If desired, it is also possible to calibrate one
output unit individually.
Before calibration, check that there is a sufficient
amount of fertiliser in the fertiliser hopper. The depth of
fertiliser in the hopper should be at least 15 cm.
1. Set the output units and select a output roller so that it
suits the current fertiliser type.
2. Enter the values in the calibration menu.
3. Fill the output system using the
button.
4. Empty the calibration bag and put it back in place.
5. Select the calibration button and hold this button in
until the right amount of fertiliser has been fed into
the calibration bag. The pulses from the output are
displayed alongside the pulse symbol.
6. Weigh the contents of the calibration bag. Tip: First
reset the scales with an empty calibration bag.
7. Enter the weight of the contents of the calibration bag
in field (E) in the calibration menu. The number of
pulses per kg will be automatically displayed in field
(F).
To enter the number of pulses manually, press field
(F) and specify the number of pulses in the pop-up
window. To cancel the calibration and perform a
fresh calibration, repeat points 3 to 7.
8. You can exit the calibration menu using
, or go
directly to calibration of another unit.
9. Reset the calibration flaps to position B for sowing.
