TEEJET 5000 OPERATORS MANUAL SEED DRILL, NORSTEN
5.27
TRACK NUMBER
Encode the tramline rhythm here.
Example: The working width of the seed drill is = 3 m.
The working width of the fertiliser spreader/sprayer is = 15 m.
Track number = 15/3 = 5.
The tramlining method to be used is also selected here (A & B). The methods are
described in the seed drill operation section.
ROW NO.
Encode the total number of rows that the seed drill has.
ROWS IN TRACK
Encode the number of rows that are shut when tramlines are being made. This
encodement is necessary for correct KG metering.
If the sown amount is not reduced when making tramlines encode 0.
NB: Pneumatic seed drills do not reduce the amount when tramlines
are being made.
FORWARD SPEED SENSOR
There is a speed sensor fitted to the seed drill that gives a suitable number of
pulses for the TeeJet 5000. With the future in mind the computer is also able to
receive signals from a sensor fitted onto a tractor or a radar sensor.
Please refer to chapter 2 for forward speed calibration.
IMPLEMENT SENSOR
The implement override sensor is used to stop and start area measurement and
count the bouts driven. It is possible to choose between LIFT and DRILL.
The override signal will normally come from a sensor fitted on the seed drill (select
DRILL).
MANUAL START
Encode the number of seconds that the drill shaft will rotate for when “MANUAL
START” is pressed, max. 20 seconds.
METRE SWITCH
Select whether the metre counter is started/stopped manually “MANUAL” or by
the selected implement sensor “IMPLEM. SENSOR”.
