Checking the lateral distribution

16 mats are placed on the field at specific intervals. The distances between the mats depend on the working width of the fertiliser spreader and are displayed in the mySpreader app. While spreading, the fertiliser is collected on 16 mats. In the mySpreader app, there is a symbol for each of the 16 mats. Using the mat symbols, a picture can be taken and evaluated for each corresponding mat.

NOTE
With transparent, very fine or dark fertiliser, the pictures might not be evaluated correctly in some cases.

If the mats cannot be evaluated by taking photos, Using the calibration set.

  1. Select the machine and fertiliser in the mySpreader app.
  2. Tap on Optimise.
  1. Tap on EasyCheck.
  1. Check spreader settings.
  1. Place 16 mats at the specified distances.
NOTE

The first row of mats must be placed in a tramline.

The indicated mat spacing is based on the centre of the mats.

In the direction of travel, the mats must be spaced at least 1m apart.

  1. In tramline 1, drive over the row of mats while spreading.
  2. In tramline 2, drive and spread.

  3. If the fertiliser spreader spreads beyond the next tramline:

    In tramline 3, drive and spread.

  1. To take a picture of a mat:

    Tap on a mat symbol.
NOTE
The following table shows a correct example and a negative example for the picture.

Rules for the picture:

  • The white squares must be loacted in the notches on the mats.

  • They may not be any shadows on the mat.

  • The mat may not be covered by plants or objects.

  • The mat must be clean and free of dust.

Correct

Shadow

Soiled

Too close

Too far

Crooked

  1. Take a correct picture of the mat corresponding to the mat symbol.

The results of the evaluation is shown.

NOTE
Every detected fertiliser granule will be marked with a yellow point. Only the area between the inner corner points of the notches are evaluated.

  1. If the results match with the distribution on the mat:

    Confirm the value determined

or

If the results do not match with the distribution on the mat:

Take the pictures again.

  1. Take a valid picture of each mat using the corresponding mat symbol.
NOTE

If the mats cannot be evaluated by taking photos, Using the calibration set.

  1. Select CONTINUE.
  1. Adjust the fertiliser spreader using the values under Optimised settings.
  2. Select Save.

The results of the check will be stored in the history of the mySpreader app.

  1. If the values should be adjusted:

    Under "Optimise", select "Adjust manually".
  2. Adjust the optimised settings on the spreader.
