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.

Material Setup (Second Screen)
DISC HIGH/LOW LIMITS
The maximum or minimum RPM at which the seed disc will operate. The
control will not allow the seed disc to rotate faster than the Disc High or Low
Limit setting.
MATERIAL LEVEL ALARM
Sets the level to trigger an alarm alerting of low product levels. The entered
value is an estimate volume.
HIGH AND LOW POPULATION ALARMS
High and Low Alarm option sets the high and low population limit values.
The limit can be set to 0.0 to disable the population alarms. The entered
value is dependent on the target rate.
– The High and Low Alarms are entered as a percentage. The
percentage value is referenced in relation to the current channel
target rate setting if rows are assigned to a channel. Otherwise the
alarm will trigger from planter average population.
High Alarm example:
If the Target Rate is 100.0 and the High Alarm is 5.0%, multiply 100.0 x 1.05
(a 5% increase) = 105.0. The alarm will activate at this population.
Low Alarm example:
If the Target Rate is 100.0 and the Low Alarm is 5.0%, multiply 100.0 x.95
(a 5% decrease) = 95.0. The alarm will activate at this population.
