SPEED SENSOR CALIBRATION/PROGRAMMING

STEP 1

Turn knob or use arrow keys to highlight ‘’10. Calibrate

Speed Sensor” and press knob or Enter key.

Distance Pulse Count records how many pulses are

generated per mile/kilometer from the ground speed
sensor.

NOTE: A field calibration must be performed to establish
Distance Pulse Count number. Several factors can affect this
value, such as wheel slip on the magnetic distance sensor.
IT IS NOT UNCOMMON FOR MONITOR SPEED TO VARY
SLIGHTLY FROM TRACTOR SPEEDOMETER. Adjusting
Distance Pulse Count in the monitor to make speed agree
with tractor can cause serious errors in acre/hectare and
population/spacing readings.
Do field checks to verify
populations and seed spacing.

English: Drive exactly 330 feet.

Metric: Drive exactly 100 metres.

Calibrate Speed Sensor

Execute step 1 and 2

Effective row spacing: 15.0

In field conditions, measure 330 feet or 100 meters,

depending on the unit of measurement selected. Place a
marker at the start point and end point.

Pull tractor up to starting point.


Turn knob or use arrow keys to highlight “1. Tractor stopped,

Start calibration” and press knob or Enter key.

Drive tractor for 330 feet or 100 meters.

Monitor will count number of pulses and display them.

Stop tractor at end point.

Turn knob or use arrow keys to highlight “2. Tractor stopped,

Calibration Done” and press knob or Enter key.

NOTE: If warning box below appears, click OK and repeat
procedure.

NOTE: Repeat above steps multiple times. Record and

average values. Use average for Distance Pulse Count

number constant.

NOTE: Distance Pulse Count will vary from above example.

The speed sensor pulse count is too low.
Perhaps you did not drive far enough
If not, the sensor may be faulty.
