ATHENE 100
– SPREADER RATE CONTROLLER

2.1
Work Status Indicator
The indicator is used to indicate the channel to which the information on
the display relates. It also shows the working status of the spreader.
The cursor flashes when the spreader is out of work
(e.g on the
headland) and the area accumulation stops.
The cursor is on continuously when the spreader is in work
and area
accumulation takes place.
Spreading is started and stopped via the separate Cutout Switch, not
from the head unit.
2.2
Set Units
The application rate can be displayed in
units of kg/ha or tonnes/ha.
To check which is selected, select the
channel then press the button (as for
setting the target rate)
The dashes indicate the units set.
2.3
Channel Selection
Simply press the button to cycle through the channels.
In the Work Monitor configuration
only, the instrument will stay on the
channel you have selected.
In the Rate Controller configuration
, the instrument will always default to
the application rate display 10 seconds after selecting any other channel (the
exception to this is when there is an alarm condition).
