4.6.3 Flow factor
The flow factor ranges between 0.2 and 1.9. The following applies for consistant
basic settings (km/h/, working width, kg/ha):
If the flow factor is increased, the application rate is decreased.
If the flow factor is decreased, the application rate is increased.
An error message is displayed if the flow factor is outside the preset range. See
6: Alarm messages and possible causes, page 99
. If spreading organic fertiliser
or rice, the minimum factor has to be reduced to 0.2. Otherwise the error mes-
sage will be displayed constantly.
If the flow factor is known from earlier calibration tests or from the fertiliser chart,
it can be entered manually in this menu.
The M EMC function determines the flow factor specifically for each spreading
side. Therefore, no manual input is required.
Entering the flow factor:
1. Open the Fertiliser settings > Flow factor menu.
The currently applied flow factor is displayed.
2. Enter the new value in the input field.
See chapter 4.13.2: Entering values with the cursor keys, page 84
.
3. Press the Enter key.
The new value is saved in the control unit.
NOTICE
Via the Calibration menu, the flow factor can be determined and entered using
the QUANTRON-A control unit. Refer to chapter 4.6.6: Calibration, page 46
.
NOTICE
The flow factor calculation depends on the operating mode used. For further in-
formation on the flow factor, refer to chapter 4.7.2: AUTO/MAN mode, page 58
.
NOTICE
If the fertiliser is not listed in the fertiliser chart, enter a flow factor of 1.00.
In the AUTO km/h and MAN km/h operating modes, we highly recommend car-
rying out a calibration test in order to be able to accurately determine the flow
factor for this fertiliser.
NOTICE
AXIS-M EMC (+W) only
We recommend displaying the flow factor in the operating screen. This allows
you to monitor the mass flow control during spreading. Refer to chapter 4.10.2:
Display configuration, page 72 and chapter 4.7.2: AUTO/MAN mode, page 58.
