8.4.2 Stationary Calibration
Important
Stationary calibration mode automatically uses
the manual speed for the speed input. For
the most accurate calibrations, ensure that the
manual speed is set to the same value as the
planned seeding speed. The 6000 Series air
seeders have the calibration drive set to 5 mph
by default.
1. Entering Manual Speed:
a. Refer to Figure 8.23.
b.
If the second Manual Speed button (with
odometer/hand icon) is grayed out on the
Configuration Panel, enable it by selecting
on the first Manual Speed button; this will
depend on the Speed Source setting (refer
to Section 6.7.7 - Speed Source).
The
background of this button will turn
green and now you will be able to enter a
manual speed value.
c. Select second Manual Speed button (with
odometer/hand icon).
d. A numeric keypad will appear.
e. Enter speed value and confirm.
2. Selecting
Multi or Single tank Calibration:
a. Multi-T
ank Calibration
-
primarily used
to calibrate granular tanks only.
b. Single
Tank Calibration
-
can be used to
calibrate liquid or a single granular tank
(ex. if recalibration required), or manually
enter a calibration factor for NH3/Liquid or
granular tanks.
c. Refer to Figure 8.24. Use the left/right
arrows
to select the tank for calibration,
or touch on the tank number to open a
dropdown list of available tanks, disabled
tanks will not be displayed in the list.
Select the tank and confirm.
d. Select the Multi-Tank Calibration button or
the Calibration button for single tank. The
Calibration Method window will open up.

Important
It is strongly recommended to recalibrate products
every 500 acres or every time the product is
changed. This will ensure you are using the most
accurate calibration factor.
For the 9000 Series this will not be required as it
will continue to monitor the actual application rate
and recommend adjustments to the cal factor
Product densities can vary, which will affect the
calibration factor. Also, especially with the UHMW
flightings, there is a breaking-in period. The
flighting will flare affecting the calibration factor.
