Repositioning the fill level sensor

The fill level sensor must be fastened at the suitable height depending on the material to be spread and the spread rate.

  • Cereals and legumes: Fasten the fill level sensor in the upper holder or middle holder, depending on the spread rate.

  • Fine seed: Fasten the fill level sensor in the lower holder (factory setting).

  • Fertilizer: Fasten the fill level sensor in the lower holder, depending on the spread rate.

  • Lower seed rates: At lower seed rates, the low level sensor of the metering unit can be used to receive a subsequent notification regarding the low level in the hopper.

NOTE
Reposition the fill level sensor only when the hopper is empty. Otherwise, the flow of spreading material prevents fastening of the fill level sensor.

  1. If low spread rates will be metered:

    Insert the fill level sensor in the lower receptacle 1.

  1. If high spread rates will be metered:

    Insert the fill level sensor in one of the upper receptacles 1.
NOTE

As soon as the fill level sensor is no longer covered, a warning message appears on the control terminal or control computer.

When the fill level sensor is mounted in the lower receptacle, the warning message appears quite late.

  1. Ensure that the hopper is empty.
  2. Unscrew the nuts on both sensor holders 2.
  3. Pull the fill level sensor 3 out of the fill level sensor receptacle 1.
  4. Pull the sealing plug out of a different fill level sensor receptacle.
  5. Insert the fill level sensor flush with the sensor receptacle in the desired fill level sensor receptacle.
  6. Insert the sealing plug in the empty fill level sensor receptacle.
  7. Tighten the nuts on both sensor holders.
