FERTILISER DISTRIBUTOR, RAUCH AERO TEEJET 5000 OPERATORS MANUAL
4.96
WORKING WIDTH:
The working width for the spreader being used. Each spreader section is encoded
individually in centimetres (section 1 is on the left-hand side of the machine)
NB: All unused sections must be encoded as 0.
The total working width can be seen at the bottom of the display under encode.
FORWARD SPEED SENSOR
The TeeJet 5000 V.4 fertiliser distributor program gives the option of choosing
between 3 different speed sensors (Wheel tractor, Wheel spreader, Radar).
WHEEL TRACTOR:
Speed sensor fitted on the tractor. The sensor can be built into the tractor’s
gearbox or rear axle as standard factory fitted or be retrofit on a wheel or drive
shaft.
NOTE: Wheelslip will give inaccurate speed-readings.
WHEEL SPREADER:
Speed sensor fitted to trailed spreaders. This type of sensor will, as a rule, give a
very accurate speed-reading.
RADAR:
Signal from a radar, fitted on the tractor. This type of sensor gives a very accurate
speed reading on hard surfaces, but a high crop and reflecting surfaces (water)
can give an inaccurate reading.
Please refer to chapter 2 for speed sensor calibration.
FERTILISER CALIBRATION PROCEDURE:
The computer allows you to “save” up to 3 different calibrations, e.g. different
fertiliser types. Each calibration represents the individual test plus 3 “fixed” (but
user defined) application rates, i.e. 150 kg/ha, 200 kg/ha, 250 kg/ha.
A new calibration must be carried out each time:
1. The first time the spreader is used.
2. When the working width is changed.
3. The fertiliser type is changed.
A new calibration should take place when:
1. If you suspect that the flow characteristics of the fertiliser have changed, i.e. a
new load.
2. Change of weather (temperature and moisture).
Even when the above factors have been taken into consideration, fertiliser
calibration should be checked at regular intervals.
