Bin Sensor. The Seed Hawk ® air cart features ultrasonic bin level sensors which automatically detect the level
of product remaining in each bin. The bin sensor for each of the first three products must be calibrated to
accurately gauge the amount of product in the bin.
To calibrate the bin sensor, touch the ‘Calibrate’ button below the current bin level value and follow the on-
screen instructions.
Note:
The air cart bins must be empty to calibrate the bin level sensors.
Rate Cal. The rate cal value is the target rate to which the system will adjust while applying the corresponding
product. Review the Rate Cal(s) section on page 33 for more information about the rate cal setting.
Rate Bump (+/-). The rate bump feature allows the equipment operator to quickly adjust the rate of product
application during a job. Enter the value by which the target rate will be increased or decreased when the rate
bump buttons are selected on the Application Control prompt.
See the Application Rates Area section on page 81 for more information about the Application Rates Area on
the main screen and using the rate bump feature during a field application.
Meter Cal. Enter the number of counts the metering roller sensor will detect per revolution of the metering
roller.
Note:
When operating with a hydraulic drive system, enter a meter cal of 60.31 for the meter cal value.
Cal Weight. The cal weight value sets the weight of product applied per revolution of the metering roller. The
Viper Pro may be used to help calculate the cal weight value by using the cal weight calibration assistance
feature while performing a catch test.
