2.8. Setting up speed
Seeder operation requires a source of speed for the seeder.
1.
Select Seeder Settings Menu / Speed Settings .
l Manual Speed: Manual speed allows the user to specify a speed
value. This is only possible if the vehicle is stationary. This value is
normally set to 7-10 km/h, which is the speed used for normal
seeding operations. This setting is used for calibration and
preloading.
l Speed Source: This is used to determine the required application
rate from the seeder. Select the Speed Source from the following
options:
l Wheel: Select if there is a ground speed sensor on the vehicle.
l Manual: Select if no other working speed source is available due
to sensor/GPS failure, or if stationary testing needs to be carried
out. Also use to perform tank calibration and calculate application
rates.
l ISO Wheel / ISO Radar / NMEA2000: Can be used to source
speed from the tractor’s ECU (if available). Refer to
documentation supplied with the tractor for more information.
