To program the unit, first select the
Response Parameter. If further adjustment is
required for top and/or bottom parameters,
continue with their adjustments.
Tasseltrol Response Parameter
The Response Parameter is used to
adjust the response time of both photocells -
how quickly the down motion starts when no
corn is detected by either top or bottom cells,
and how quickly the up motion is stopped
when corn is no longer detected by the top
cell. This can be changed by selecting R1,
R2, R3, or R4.
NOTE: More corrections will occur when R1
is selected and fewer with R4
selected. The normal (default) value
for this parameter is R2, but can be
set to any desired value.
Use the Response Parameter to adjust
overall correction activity and to compensate
for ground speed. If the quad pullers are
moving too quickly and frequently, the
Response Parameter can be increased
toward R4. If the quad pullers are too slow to
respond to changes in corn depth, decrease
the parameters toward R1. Generally, this
parameter can be left at R2.
To display the Response Parameter:
•
Press the Auto/Manual Switch (located
on the Tasseltrol Control Panel) in the
UP (Auto) position.
•
Press the On/Off Switch (located on the
Tasseltrol Control Panel) in the UP (On)
position. Wait approximately three (3)
seconds for the “Select Manual” mes-
sage to appear.
•
Press the LIFT UP Switch under “PAR”.
•
Press the LIFT UP Switch under the “R”
value.
The active value of the parameter is
indicated by it blinking on and off while the
other three options are displayed
continuously.
To select a new value for the parameter:
•
Press the LIFT UP Switch under the
desired selection.
•
After selecting one of the four options,
press the LIFT 1 DOWN Switch to
escape this parameter.
•
To save new values and escape the
parameter mode, press the LIFT 1
DOWN Switch a second time.
Tasseltrol Top Parameter
The Top Parameter is used to adjust the
sensitivity time of the top photocell. The top
photocell starts the up motion when it’s light
path is blocked by corn. How much corn it
has to see before starting the up move can
be changed by selecting one of the four
values: T1, T2, T3, or T4.
NOTE: When T1 is selected, less corn is
required to start an up move. The
normal (default) value for this
parameter is T3, but can be set to
any desired value.
