-
On using the seed drill for the first time: select 45 or 50 cm working width and 6, 8,
12, 16, 18 row type of seed drill by changing the configuration of the control box
(see configuration menu).
-
On switching on, the hectares counter shows the last value displayed for the
number of hectares sown (stored in the memory).
-
The counter indicates hectares and ares: e.g.: 12.05 (12 ha 5 ares).
-
Press RESET for 4 seconds to zero the counter.

Its function is twofold:
-
Pressing this reset briefly shuts off the buzzer in the event of an alarm.
-
Pressing the reset key for more than 4 seconds will zero the hectares counter.
"CFG" & "+" configuration
The “CFG” function provides access to the following data:
A. Type of seed drill (6 to 18 row) and spacing between rows (45 or 50), to be
entered before the seed drill is used for the first time.
B. Area coefficient (84 to 116), to be altered in line with your experience.
The first press on "CFG" accesses menu A
The second press on "CFG" accesses menu B
The third press on "CFG" exits the configuration menu.
In either menu A or B, available selections are scrolled in “configuration” mode by
pressing the “+” function repeatedly.
-
The number of rows and the working width will scroll together:
C06-45, C06-50, C08-45, C08-50, C12-45, C12-50, C16-45, C16-50, C18-45,
C18-50.
(CO6 = 6 rows; - 45 = 45 cm spacing between rows)
-
The correction coefficient will scroll thus:
84, 86, 88, 90, 92,…, 100, … 112, 114, 116.
If it is desired in future that the seed drill should read out:
-
more hectares for a given area, select a higher coefficient,
-
fewer hectares for a given area, select a lower coefficient.
This coefficient becomes active once it is changed and will only affect the hectares
sown thereafter.
Under no circumstances does it change the areas already sown.
The 3 settings entered above will be stored in the permanent memory until the
next changes.
