7.2 Reset the Counter (ctr clr/CTR=0?)
To reset the counter to zero, navigate through the menu to ‘ctr clr’ then press the key. The display will indicate
‘CTR = 0?’. Clear the counter by pressing the key again. Return to the harvesting mode by pressing the key
twice.
7.3 Application Rate (Dos ml/t)
This value defines the inoculant application rate on the crop in ml/t. It can be set from 10 ml/t up to 50 ml/t in steps of 1
ml/t. The value is factory preset to 20 ml/t (Ecosyl ULV). The flow rate of the pump in ml/min is determined by this and
the harvest rate set by the dial on the control box.
7.4 Calibration Value (Cal flow)
The pump flow rate is affected by the physical properties of the inoculant, eg viscosity. The Ecosyler is delivered with
the Calibration value set at 1.00 which corresponds to Ecosyl ULV application at 20ml/t. If a different inoculant or flow
rate is used the pump should be recalibrated to retain accuracy. The Calibration value is a multiplication factor of the
flow rate shown on the display (0.85 to 1.15 in steps of 0.01) and aligns the flow rate displayed with the actual flow rate.
Calibrating of the Flow Rate
1. Fill the applicator system with the inoculant to be used
2. Place a measuring jug at the tank outlet to collect the inoculant
3. Configure the pump for use without a table sensor and the display to indicate the flow rate in litres/hour and the
counter in litres, ie in ‘Cfg Dev’ set all three digits to ‘1’. (Note your original settings for reconfiguration later)
4. Reset the counter to zero in ‘ctr clr’
5. Set the calibration value ‘flow rate’ to 1.00, ie ‘cal flow’ = 1.00 (default value for Ecosyl ULV)
6. Set the flow rate to max 7.6 litres/h using the dial on the side of the control box
7. Start the pump by pressing the key on the control box
8. Collect at least 500ml (~4 minutes) then stop the pump by pressing the key
9. View the counter reading in litres
10. Divide the amount of inoculant collected by the counter reading (the counter measures to the nearest 10ml), eg
0.75 in jug ÷ 0.8 on counter = 0.94 (calibration value of inoculant)
11. Enter this new value in ‘cal flow’. Values of 0.85 to 1.15 are allowed. Less viscous inoculants will have values closer to
0.85.
12. Reconfigure the control box to your preferred settings (see point 3 above)
7.5 Configuration of the Device (Cfg Dev)
There are 3 configuration parameters that require setting on the control box before you start harvesting.
The settings are all independent and you can change the display at any point during harvest:
1. Whether the harvester has a table sensor or not
2. Whether the display shows the harvest rate in t/h or the additive usage rate in l/h.
3. Whether the counter shows total tonnes of crop harvested or number of litres of inoculant applied
Note: The control box as supplied is set for a harvester with a table sensor, the display showing harvest rate in
tonnes/hour and the counter total tonnes.
To change the control box settings:
1. Navigate to ‘Cfg Dev’ in the menu then press the key
2. The display indicates ‘Cfg: 0 0 0’ - the cursor underlines the position to change. Use the and keys
to toggle between 0 and 1. To confirm the new setting and move to the next position, press
3. For harvesters with a table sensor, set the first digit to 0; for those without, set it to 1
4. For the display to show the harvest rate in tonnes/h, set the second digit to 0; for it to show the Flow rate in litres/h,
set it to 1
5. For the counter to show total tonnes, set the third digit to 0; for it to show total litres, set the third digit to 1
6. Confirm your final choice using the key
Note: You must confirm all 3 digits before returning to harvest setting, even if you only change one digit. If you
do not, the new value will not be registered
