4. Switch the instrument off
5.
Select Cal Mode 3
by pressing the
button and switching the instrument on
again (fig.6). The instrument defaults to
the channel.
(Speed simulation - On/Off)
6.
Start forward speed simulation
(8km/hr)
by pressing the button (fig.7a).
7. Switch the spreader on.
The belt speed is based on the current
calibration factor, application rate and
simulated forward speed. The instrument
then displays the theoretical area
accumulating.
8. Switch the spreader off
as soon as the
hopper is empty (or you have dispensed
an intended quantity).
The instrument then defaults to the
channel and displays the theoretical weight
it has calculated as being dispensed,
based on the current calibration factor.
NOTE: If at this stage the instrument is switched
off for any reason, when switched on again
it will default to this display. You must
adjust and confirm the actual weight
before you can resume normal operation.
9.
Enter the actual weight
dispensed.
Use the or button to adjust the displayed figure.
Press the button to confirm the figure. The display shows “
done
”.
The calibration factor is then re-calculated and stored in memory. The new
factor displays for 5 seconds before the instrument defaults to normal
operating mode. If the previous calibration had been “nudged”(7.4), the
nudge factor is “cancelled” and automatically resets to 100%.
7.2
Dynamic Calibration
Proceed as for a Static Calibration procedure except please ignore Step 5 to
switch on the simulated speed (the factory default setting is “OFF”).
