NOTE!
Before you start the test, check whether you have removed the calibration cover and are using
it or the calibration slide. Check whether the calibration bag or a collection bucket is place
precisely under the outlet! The calibration test can be aborted at any time by pressing the
seeding shaft button or the fan button on the control box.
When all of the values are correctly set, start the test for the respective motor
with OK.
Calibration test in progress: After starting, the seeding shaft begins rotating
automatically without the fan motor. The seeding shaft stops automatically
after the set time. If a calibration button is installed, the test is only stopped
once it is pressed.
Entry of the calibration
test:
Now weigh the calibrated seed quantity (deduct the weight of the collection
bucket or the calibration bag) and enter the weight. Confirm with OK.
To really spread the desired spread rate, we recommend repeating the calibration test until the message
"Test not precise! Repeat?“ no longer appears. If "Seeding shaft speed too high" appears on the display,
the seeding shaft is not able to rotate fast enough. If "Seeding shaft speed too low" appears, the seeding
shaft is not able to rotate slowly enough. To fix this error, you can replace the seeding shaft with a larger
or smaller seeding shaft (see also chapter 6.1 Notes).
With the OK button, you can return to the previously displayed value. Only when the automatic
readjustment of the seeding shaft is under 3 % (difference), the "checkmark symbol" and the spread
quantity in kg/ha will appear on the main screen.
Entry of the
Calibration test:
The seeding shaft speed is now automatically correctly calculated. Then
the display goes back to the Main menu.
Now the set kg/ha
appears on the
display.
The two-column display appears when working with a
speed sensor.

PS: If a fill level sensor is installed on your PS, and the message "Hopper almost empty" appears on the
display during the calibration test, the test will continue running. If there is not enough seed in the hopper,
however, this can falsify the precision of the calibration test.
This menu point is used for rough presetting of the seeding shaft speed. The
speed (%) of the seeding shaft does not need to be changed, because the
settings are automatically adopted from the calibration test.
5.1.4 CALIBRATING ACCORDING TO THE AREA AND TIME
After you have selected one of the three variations (chapter 5.1.1 Calibrating in kg/ha / 5.1.2 Calibrating in
grains/m² / 5.1.3 Calibrating in grams/m²), you can choose between 3 preset areas (1/10 ha, 1/20 ha and
