SYSTEM SETUP
Auger Tolerance will be setup and changed as needed based on seed type or
weight.
Number of Bins, BINNUM 132
Enter number of Seed Tender bulk bins. Refer to page 20 for details, D.A.N. 132.
Tolerance, TOLER 442
Enter Seed Tender auger tolerance weight. Refer to page 21 for details, D.A.N.
442.
Calculating Auger Tolerance
Auger tolerance is the weight offset of seed remaining in the seed tender auger or
conveyor while filling the planter. This value is set to adjust for the delay of the
auger to stop movement of seed sliding out of the seed chute. This value may
need to change based on seed chute size, extended seed chute length, seed type,
and seed weight. Set the “TOLER” value for the expected use of the seed tender.
1. Load at least 200 pounds of seed into the tender.
2. Park seed tender on level ground.
3. Collect three empty containers of same size and weight to hold 60 pounds
of seed each.
4. Have other scale nearby that can measure one full container.
5. Either weigh empty container and zero scale or record container weight.
6. Enter PRESET of 30 pounds on indicator. 3-0-ENTER
7. Extend seed chute to normal distance and height of planter to fill.
8. Dispense seed in AUTO mode into one empty container. Refer to page 8,
Automatic Scale Mode.
9. Weigh filled container.
10. Subtract PRESET weight from total weight:
a. Subtract container empty weight if needed
Method: Example:
Total filled container 52 pounds (container with seed)
- 30lb PRESET -30 pounds (PRESET number)
- Container - 5 pounds (container, step 10.a)
= TOLER Weight = 17 pounds (TOLER 442)
11. Enter weight value as “TOLER”, D.A.N. 442. Refer to page 21.
12. Repeat steps 7-10 two more times to verify accuracy.
13. For tender dispensing too much seed, increase tolerance weight by the
amount of overfill. For tender dispensing too little seed, decrease
tolerance weight.
