Raven RGL 600 - Seed Swathing (SED) for Seeding

SEED SWATHING (SED)
Seed swathing (SED) is used, as the name imples, for seeding purposes using swaths that
are parallel to the A-B line.
SED swathing is much like BF except that whenever the Select button is pressed to advance
to the next swath, an “auto swath calibrate” occurs. This makes the entry into the next swath
very accurate for close alignment of the wheels to the next row. The operator must be trained
to press the SELECT button at the best point to setup for the next row. The operator must be
sure to press the SELECT button before he starts to make his turn.
Below are the steps required for SED swathing.
SED - Basic Operation
The straight line defined by marks A and B must be parallel to the remaining swaths.
Make sure the GPS antenna has a good view of the sky and the Smartbar shows NO
alarm conditions.
If DIR is set to Automatic (AUT), the Direction is set automatically when the machine
turns past 75
o
alignment to the A-B line. If DIR is set to Manual (MAN), press the
SELECT button (after marking B and turning) to set the direction.
The SELECT button is then used to advance to the next swath.
Important
The ‘A’ and ‘B’ marks form a straight line that must be parallel to the remaining
swath paths. Ensure that no alarms are present while setting the ‘A’ and ‘B’ marks.
