2.6.3.1 Tank Parameters
Refer to Figure 2.26.
Application Rate - this is the current
application rate for the product in the specific tank.
The control system will use the calibration factor
to adjust the metering auger speed for the given
product.
or Calculated Weight Remaining
- this is the calculated weight of product remaining
in the tank. It is based on the initial entry when
the tank was filled and calculates down from that
initial value depending on the tank output.
Important
The Calculated Weight Remaining value should
be used for reference only as its accuracy
depends on the accuracy of the initial fill entry.
There is a bin level sensor inside each air seeder
tank that provides a empty tank warning when the
actual product level is under the sensor.
Measured Weight Remaining - this is the
actual weight remaining in a tank that has optional
dedicated load cells monitoring the actual weight.
Motor Load or Drive power - is the range
the drive is operating at from 0% (being off) to
100% (working at full speed).
Metering RPM - this is metering auger
RPM.
Calibration Factor - this is a calibration
factor for the specific product in a specific tank. It
is a number representing the weight per revolution
of the metering auger. Calibration factors are used
with the metering auger RPM to determine an
application rate.
Discharge Rate - displays the amount of
product being metered per minute from the tank.
Area Remaining - displays the area
remaining. This is a theoretical number and is
based on the product weight/volume remaining
value and current application rate.
Metering Auger Type - displays the
metering auger type for the specific tank as set
during the air seeder tank set up (refer to Section
6.7.1.3
- Drive Setup).
Pressure - this is the pressure in the Liquid/
or NH3 product line. An electric pressure sensor
must be installed and pressure sensing feature must
be enabled (refer to Section 6.7.2.4 - Pressure
Settings).
Nozzle Flow - displays the amount of
NH3/Liquid being applied through each nozzle per
minute.
Boom Flow - displays the amount of NH3/
Liquid being applied through entire boom per
minute.
Pump Speed - this is the speed of the
pump. For this value to be displayed, the pump
speed sensor must be installed and Pump Speed
sensing enabled (refer to Section 6.7.4 - Pump
Settings).
