Seed drill - Preparations for starting the operation
3.2.3.3.4 Conducting the calibration test
1.
Conducting the calibration test for seed
drills without seed rate remote control
-
Converting the required amount of seed [kg/ha] for
the desired seed rate [kg/ha].
desired seed rate [kg/ha] = required calibration weight [kg]
40
Example:
Desired seed rate:
200 kg/ha
Required calibrating amount:
5 kg
-
Determine as usual the necessary gearbox setting
for the desired seed rate .
-
As usual calibrate the seed drill for 1/40 ha.
2.
Conducting the calibration test for seed
drills with seed rate remote control
On pneumatic seed drills with seed rate
reduction when creating tramlines ensure
prior to the calibration test that the tramline
counter does not stand on “0” (creating
tramoines).
Example:
entered seed rate nominal value: e.g. 200 kg/ha
-
Press key
.
-
Via the keye
or
pre-select a gearbox
setting lever position (e.g. "50") on the display which
is usual for the seed material to be sown (preferedly
for grain "50" and for rape "10").

Press key
and store the entered value, e. g.
"50". On the display it should continue to read the
figure “50” and the electric setting motor moves the
gearbox setting lever on the scale at the two-range
gearbox into the position “50”.
-
Newly start order - by pressing of the keys
,
hold it pressed and simultaneously press key
.
At the same time the hectare meter for the part area
will be set to "0".
-
Start the first calibration test starten. For this press
key
, keep pressed and simultaneously
press key
.
-
As usual calibrate the seed drill for minimum 1/40 ha.
When calibrating, the calibration area will
be determined. For this calibration area the
required calibration rate will be
automatically calculated and continuously
displayed on the display. Even beyond
1/40 ha.
When the calibrated area of 1/40 ha is
achieved, honk signals sound.
-
Terminate the calibration test only after the audible
signal.
