42 / SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
EXAMPLE: Maximum Rate is set for 101. Target Rate is set for 100. If the
% increase is set at 2%, the maximum rate of 101 will not be met because
the % increase of 2% would exceed the 101 maximum rate limit.
DENSITY
Density is the weight per volume of material to be dispensed and is required
to convert the spreader constant. If density is unknown, a value of 1 can be
entered to perform a spreader constant. This will place the channel into a
pure pulse/ft
3 granular system.
SPREADER CONSTANT
Spreader Constant establishes the value for the amount of material per
pulse of the application rate sensor. The value entered defines the pulses
from the feedback sensor per ft
3
of material discharged. Each material (and
gate setting as applicable) has its own spreader constant. For best results,
the value must be as accurate as possible. This value may be set
manually, however, using the Spreader Constant Calibration is
recommended for the most accurate results.
LOW SHAFT RPM
Low Shaft RPM establishes the low shaft RPM at which the meter shaft will
operate. Low shaft RPM is the lowest shaft RPM speed that the control
channel will operate.
HIGH SHAFT RPM
High Shaft RPM establishes the high shaft RPM at which the meter shaft
will operate. High shaft RPM is the highest shaft RPM that the control
channel will operate.
PROD LEVEL ALARM
The product level alarm sets the weight (lbs/Kg) to alert of low seed levels.
The entered value is an estimate in lbs.
