Machine Setup
DEPTH SENSOR (1E)
(Farmscan part #:
AA-430 Depth Switch or AA-5200 Rotary Sensor / 5v Linear input ONLY)
The 7500 can be setup to provide a visual readout in
CM
of implement ram position using a scale of A:B
(where A is full ram extension and B is maximum depth required). The depth
Alarm
can be set to
Critical
using a “HOLD” point, which automatically puts the unit on hold when the implement is raised above this
point.
NOTE:
The depth sensor must be enabled and alarm points sets for the above feature to work.
1.
Enable the depth sensor by selecting the
Tick
box
2.
Press
Calibrate
When adjusting the implement height, the live
Input Voltage
provides a reference point for setting the
required hold point. Test the readout by raising and lowering the implement to ensure the depth sensor is
adjusted to provide a sufficient range of operation.
3.
Using the live
Input Voltage
, adjust the height of the bar to extend from the ground at the required
maximum height. Measure the value from ground to seeding boot.
4.
Manually enter the values or press the
Set Volt
at the desired depths and set the values in
CM
.
5.
Repeat the above process to set the seeding depth and set the
6.
Press the
Tick
when done
7.
Return to the previous page and set an
Engage Depth
in CM to activate this feature.
