4.2.1. Product flow factor – check calibration routine
The flow factor accounts for any product flow inconsistencies that may
come from pelletized (prilled) or low friction products. To achieve
accuracy across a complete product range, each product should be tested
to enable the system to learn the flow characteristics of that material.
Note: This procedure is applicable if load cells are fitted, in Dynamic
or Static mode.
The flow factor can be established by:
l Following this routine, which involves running the floor for a set
time period, catching and then weighing the product that is
dispensed from the spreader, or
l Carrying out a calibration nudge after spreading a certain amount of
product (see Nudge calibration, page 52).

2. Follow the product calibration procedure through and then select
Check Calibration.
3. Enter the weight of product to be caught and weighed for the test.
Note: If catching the product to be weighed, it is advisable to select
enough product for a minimum of 5 Ha depending upon target rate.
