SEEDS (1) (2) (3):
Displays theoretical number of seeds
planted since seed counter was last reset. Value in display
represents 1000’s of seeds. 3 sets of counters, select set you
want via the “+” key.
RPM:
Display RPM for the
selected hydraulic motor.
SEED SPACING:
Calculated
distance between seeds in
inches or centimeters.
SEEDS/DISTANCE:
Calculated seeds per
foot, number of seed in
12 inches or seeds per
meter.
AREA (1) (2) (3):
Keeps a running count of the total acres
(hectares) worked. 3 counters may be reset independently.
(Note: SEEDS and AREA counters work in pairs, if AREA
counter 1 is reset, it also resets SEEDS counter 1).
AREA/HOUR:
Displays
current work rate in acres
per hour (hectares per
hour).
ROWS/SECTION:
Number of
rows per section.
SPEED CAL:
Used in calibration mode
to enter the speed calibration number in
inches (cm) per pulse.
METER CAL TEST:
In this switch
position, the value displayed represents
the number of seeds dispensed in 5 revolutions of the seed
meter, and can not be adjusted.
TEST SPEED:
Used in calibration mode to enter a test speed
in miles per hour (kilometers per hour).
RUN/HOLD SWITCH:
Selecting the RUN position will turn
on all active sections for AUTO or MANUAL control operation.
(Section switches must be in the up (ON) position.) Selecting
the HOLD position will shut off all active section valves.
(Section switches may remain in the up (ON) position.) The
HOLD position is the master hold for the system. It will
override a RUN condition from any remote run/hold switches
connected to the system.
SECTION SWITCHES:
The console accumulates area based
on the calibrated section widths. When an individual section
is turned OFF, the respective width is subtracted from the
total width to accumulate area based on the new active
planting width. If a section switch is ON (up), its respective
hydraulic motor should be on. If a section switch if OFF
(down), its respective hydraulic motor should be off. No
hydraulic motor should be ON if the Run/Hold switch is in
HOLD, or in RUN and AUTO while speed is zero.
RATE (1) (2) (3):
The operator can select one of three
pre-programmed “Rates-on-the-go” while in Auto.
NOTE: When you “DELTA” the target rate, the display will
momentarily show you the new target rate and then resume
showing the actual seed rate.
SPEED:
Displays ground
speed in miles per hour
(kilometers per hour).
METER CAL:
Seeds dispensed
per revolution of seed meter.
ROW SPACING:
Inches or centimeters
between rows.
ADJUST RATE:
Enter an amount of
change in seed rate desired for on-the-go
rate adjustment to target rate when in
Auto. (thousands of seeds per acre (hectare) )
TARGET RATE:
Enter desired Target rate, thousands of
seeds per acre or hectare.
