Online spreading chart
service
Information about the settings for the spreader can be found in the
spreading chart book, as well as on the online spreading chart service.
This will also provide information about additional types of fertiliser
that have been tested recently.
You can make use of the online spreading chart service as an
alternative to the spreading chart book. You must enter the character-
istics of the fertiliser, your working width, application rate, driving
speed and the type of fertiliser. You will then receive advice from the
website for setting your spreader: dosing setting, discharge point,
flowrate, angle of the spreader and vane combination.
Procedures for adjusting the spreader can be found in:
chapter »Spreader setting« on page 105.
Also check the advice given on the online spreading chart service. Do
a calibration test to check the dosing setting. Then check the
spreading pattern with a tray test.
See section »Manual calibration test« on page 123 and
section »Spreading pattern check (tray test)« on page 131.
You can reach the spreading chart service as follows:
Go to the website of the Kverneland Group:
http://www.viconspreadingcharts.com.
The various languages are given at the top of the page. .
Start the spreading chart service and complete the details re-
quired.
The spreading chart service will then request that you select a
product with comparable characteristics.
The spreading chart service will then indicate the settings for your
spreader. Follow the procedures as described in
section »Spreader setting« on page 105.
AutosetApp
AutosetApp gives you the option to download these spreading charts
to the IsoMatch Tellus terminal in order to set the spreader
automatically. After choosing the desired fertiliser type, the working
width, application rate, driving speed, dosing and discharge opening
are transmitted to the spreader using the AutosetApp. The spreader
then automatically gets the correct setting. Automatic adjustment of
the discharge point applies only to GEOspread spreaders. The same
data may be transmitted to the spreader via the AutosetApp for the
other weighing spreader models such as RO-M EW and RO-EDW.
Except for the discharge opening, the spreader then has to be set
manually.
