Rauch MDS 8.2 - Calibration; Determining the Output Volume

8 Calibration
For precise control of the discharge amount, we recommend running a new calibration test every time
the fertilizer material type is changed.
Execute the calibration:
• Before spreading for the first time
• If the fertilizer quality has changed significantly (moisture, high dust content, granulate damage)
• If a new fertilizer type is used
The calibration must be conducted while the motor is running at a standstill or during travel over a test
track.
You execute the calibration test for machine version Q on the control unit.
The calibration test is described in a separate operator's manual for the control unit. This
operator’s manual is an integral part of the control unit.
8.1 Determining the output volume
• Calculate the nominal output volume before starting the calibration test.
The exact forward speed must be known to calculate the nominal output volume.
