SEED DRILL, OTHER TYPE TEEJET 5000 OPERATORS MANUAL

FORWARD SPEED SENSOR
The TeeJet 5000 V.4 seed drill program (Other type) gives the option of choosing
between 2 different speed sensors (Wheel tractor, Radar).
WHEEL TRACTOR
The speed signal can come from a sensor fitted in the gear box, or on a drive
shaft, or from a sensor fitted on a wheel, depending on the make and model of the
tractor used for sowing.
RADAR
If the tractor is fitted with radar then select “RADAR” and forward speed will be
measured from the radar. Radar and the number of pulses per metre will be
displayed at the top of the screen.
IMPORTANT! Working in areas with surface water can affect the accuracy of
the radar, we recommend using a speed sensor fitted to the
tractor under these circumstances.
Please refer to chapter 2 for forward speed calibration
IMPLEMENT SENSOR

Pressing this key gives the following options:
