With identical basic settings (km/h, working width, kg/ha), the following applies:
• If the flow factor is increased, the dosing quantity is reduced
• If the flow factor is reduced, the dosing quantity is increased
An error message is displayed if the flow factor is outside the preset range. See chapter 6 Alarm
messages and possible causes.
If you are spreading organic fertilizer or rice, you need to reduce the minimum factor to 0.2. Otherwise
the error message will be displayed constantly.
If you have obtained the flow factor from earlier calibrations or from the fertilizer chart, enter it in this
Manual selection window.
Via the Start calibration menu, the flow factor can be determined and entered using the control
unit. Refer to Chapter 4.4.5 Calibration
With the AXIS-H EMC mineral fertilizer spreader, the flow factor is calculated via the EMC mass flow
control. However, the data may also be entered manually.
The flow factor calculation depends on the operating mode used. For further information about the
flow factor, refer to chapter 4.5.1 AUTO/MAN mode.
Entering the flow factor:
u
Access the menu Fertiliser settings > Flow factor.
The currently set flow factor is displayed.
u
Enter the value obtained from the fertilizer chart into the input field.
If your fertilizer is not listed in the fertilizer chart, enter a flow factor of 1.00.
In the AUTO km/h operating mode, we highly recommend executing a calibration in order to be
able to accurately determine the flow factor for this fertilizer.
u
Press OK.
The new value is saved in the machine control unit.
For the AXIS EMC mineral fertilizer spreader (AUTO km/h + AUTO kg operating mode), we
recommend having the flow factor displayed on the working screen. By doing so, you are able to
monitor the flow factor control during spreading. See chapter 2.2.2 Display fields.
