CAUTION: When hydraulics are turned on to the hydraulic drive, the
applicator is ready to run. KEEP CLEAR OF MOVING PARTS!
Settings for Direct Control of Rawson Accu-Rate drive for fertilizing
1. Press SETUP key. Press APP RATE CONFIG key. Press CREATE
NEW key. Set the following:
Controller Make: Set to DIRECT.
Controller Model: Set to RAWS FERT.
Product: Press EDIT key. You can select an existing product and press
ACCEPT key or create a new product by pressing CREATE NEW key.
Press EDIT NAME key and enter name of product. Use Left or Right
Arrow keys to select a character. Use Up or Down Arrow key to change
the character. Set each character and press ACCEPT key twice.
Units: Set to the Units/Acre of application.
Ground Speed Sensor: Set to RADAR or GPS.
App Distance From GPS: Set to distance between where product exits
applicator and position of GPS antenna on vehicle. Example: If fan or
spinner on fertilizer buggy is 20 feet behind GPS antenna set to 20 ft
back.
Full Swath: Set to full swath of applicator in feet.
Tgt Units:Contrler Units: Normally this is set to 1:1.0000 and only
pertains to using a target file. This ratio is used to convert the units in a
target file (.tgt) to the units of application. Example: If your lime target
file is in lbs/ac and you apply based on tons/ac your ratio will be
1:0.0005.
Target Rate Increment: This determines the increment value by which
you can change the manual target rate with each press of Up or Down
arrow keys.
Actual Rate Scale Factor: Use chart below for setting.
Avg. Speed Swath Application Rate between Scale Factor
0-25 mph 0-80 ft 0-10 units/ac 1.000
0-10 mph 0-80 ft 11-100 units/ac 1.000
11-15 mph 0-50 ft 11-100 units/ac 1.000
11-15 mph 51-80 ft 11-100 units/ac 0.100
16-25 mph 0-80 ft 11-100 units/ac 0.100
0-25 mph 0-80 ft 101-500 units/ac 0.100
0-10 mph 0-80 ft 501-1000 units/ac 0.100
11-15 mph 0-50 ft 501-1000 units/ac 0.100
11-15 mph 51-80 ft 501-1000 units/ac 0.010
16-25 mph 0-80 ft 501-1000 units/ac 0.010
0-25 mph 0-80 ft 1001+ units/ac 0.010
When the data is mapped, the rate will be 1/10 th of the real rate when the
Actual Rate Scale Factor is 0.100. It will be 1/100 th of the real rate when
the Actual Rate Scale Facotr is 0.010. The rate actually applied and rate
that appears on Pro is unaffected by this setting.
2. Press CONTRLER SETTINGS key. Set the following:
Fertilizer type: Set to DRY or LIQUID.
Drive: Set to DRIVE A.
Gate Setting (dry) or Rate Setting (liquid): If applying dry product, enter
the feed gate opening in inches. If applying liquid and using a John Blue
piston pump enter the stroke setting (usually between 1-10).
Material density: If applying dry product, enter the density of product in
lbs/cubic feet. If applying liquid product, this number will be
automatically set to 1.0 and it can not be changed.
Delivery rate: If applying dry product, enter the cubic feet/rev per 1 inch
of gate setting of applicator (not hydraulic drive). If applying liquid
product and using a John Blue piston pump, enter the gal/rev per one
stroke of pump.
If pump is model LM-2450, enter .0047.
If pump is model LM-4450, enter .0076.
If pump is model LM-4950, enter .0152.
Gear ratio: Enter ratio of sprockets from applicator to hydraulic drive.
See Rawson manual for selecting proper sprockets.
Jump start speed: Set to 2 mph
Maximum drive RPM: Set to 500 rpm unless otherwise advised. The Pro
will not let the drive rpm get above this setting. A message “SLOW
DOWN!!” will be displayed every time the maximum rpm is reached.
Drive Switch: Set this to EXTERNAL to turn drive on/off using
On/Off/Jump start switch or whisker switch from Rawson. Set to
INTERNAL to shut drive on/off using switch on bottom right of Pro’s
front panel.
Manual speed: Set this to your average speed if you are using manual
speed in place of your radar or GPS ground speed source.
Manual speed: Normally this should be set to OFF. The only reason to
set this to ON is if you can not get ground speed from your radar or GPS
or you want to run the drive in a stationary position.
