End of the counting
Shortly before the counting process is finished the CONTADOR 2 reduces the counting speed in two
steps, first slightly and then stronger.
When reaching the preset value the vibrating unit automatically stops the CONTADOR 2.
Particularly with regard to round seeds it might happen that single seeds continue to roll over the five
channels.
Therefore the light barrier will still be active for a short period of time (1 s) and is thus able to detect
those seeds which continue to fall through.
The end of the counting is reached when the light barrier is off.
