Control Setup (Second Screen)
NUMBER (#) OF SEED ROWS
Allows entry of a specific number of seed rows to the control channel. Row
assignment is given a priority based on the channel and will be assigned
sequentially thereafter. Channel 1 will always be assigned to the first set of
rows, Channel 2 the next set of rows, and so on. This will disable the row
alarms when a respective channel is turned off.
CHANNEL WIDTH
Channel Width is the width for rows assigned to a specific channel. Width
calculation can be determined by number of planter rows assigned to the
channel multiplied by the row spacing.
PRECHARGE TIME
Precharge Time is a specified length of time a control channel will operate
or be active with a minimum precharge ground speed greater than 0 (Refer
to the Speed Set section for Precharge Ground Speed setup information).
This feature will activate the control when the master/control switch is
turned ON even without ground speed.
The Precharge feature is typically used in applications that have significant
distance between the implement row unit and storage bulk tank where seed
placement takes several seconds due to the travel time of the seed/fertilizer
from the bulk tank to the ground.
The Precharge feature will operate until the precharge time lapses or the
precharge ground speed has been exceeded. If the master/control switch is
turned OFF, the precharge feature will abort.
A Precharge Alarm displays any time the Preset feature is established or
changed and the master/control switch is turned ON.
IMPORTANT: A Precharge number MUST be entered as a positive
number (5.0 seconds) for the system to identify between
a Precharge or Delay Time state.
