Calibration:
The Aitchison E-Drive Calibration provides an easier and faster means of setting up your Seed Drill
compaired to the traditional calibration process. This section describes how to set up and complete
the calibration process.
Important : Only calibrate one hopper at a time.
Preparation : Load the product, Prime the Hoppers and set up the product catchment.
Calibration can be done using any number of adjacent outlets. For the best result, use all available
outlets. It is recommended to use a minimum of 5 outlets.

Load the Product : Load the product over the catchment outlets for calibration.

Prime Hoppers : Press and hold the desired prime button until the product flows freely.
Forgetting to prime the hoppers before calibration will result in a false application rate.

Product Catchment : Place catchment under the desired calibration outlets. This can be done
using a number of methods, including:
1. Detach the black hosing from the coulter tube and place them into bags or containers.
2. Place bags or containers directly under the tines.
3. Seed Only: Detach and place the yellow calibration trays under the seed metering units.
This method makes it easy to calibrate using all available outlets and will result in the
shortest calibration time.
Take care not to spill dispensed product during the calibration process as it will affect the measured
weight.
Keep in mind that product may flow through outlets adjacent to those loaded for calibration. Do not
use the product from the overflow outlets when weighing for calibration.
Run Calibration
:
1. Enable Calibration Mode : Click on the “CALIBRATE” button
in the “Settings” Menu. Enter the Product Names for each
Hopper. Then press the “Start” button. A blank
“calibrating” page will appear.
Note:
An instructions tab can be found at the bottom of the
window.
2. Start Calibration : To start/pause calibration, press the
products prime button on the machine. The calibration will stop itself automatically when
complete and the interface will buzz for 1s. The interface will update, showing a weight and
outlets input field for the calibrated hopper. The second hopper can be calibrated once the
buzzer signals completion.

If the buzzer does not sound when the motor stops
and the interface is not updated, quick press the
prime button.

Only calibrate one Hopper at a time.

If the catchment is nearing overflow, pause the
calibration using the prime button, collect the
product and continue with an empty catchment.

Take note of the weight units. This can be set in
the “UNITS” menu (See
Units ).
3. Collect and Weigh the Product : Remember to “TARE” scales before weighing.
4. Set Calibration Weight and Number of Outlets : Go to the user interface and enter the total
measured weight and the number of collection outlets used.
Press tick [top left] button to complete the calibration process. To cancel at any time, press the
cross [top right] button.
