2. Calibration of forward speed
Factors such as spinning or soil condition can influence
the forward speed measuring and consequently the
application rate.
- Calibrate the speed sensor for 100m to take sowing
conditions into account.
The speed sensor calibration is based on the count of
the sensor impulses over a distance of 100 m.
- Starting from the "main menu", select "hopper
configuration".
- Select the "Machine km/h" submenu.
The speed signal can come from the tractor, the radar
sensor or a wheel sensor.
- Select the speed source:
• F2 (4): Tractor radar
Connect the speed plug wiring harness on one end to the
7-pin plug on the rear of the control box and the other to
the tractor 8-pin plug (DIN9684-1,ISO11786).
Part no. 2056323
• F1 (5): Drill radar or Wheel mounted impulse sensor
When driven mechanically, the travel speed is
indicated by the metering unit sensor.
- Press on function F1 (5).
Do NOT press F2 (4) if the metering unit is
mechanically driven.
