Calibrating the metering unit

REQUIREMENTS

  • The hopper is at least 1/4 filled with spreading material

  1. Take the calibration bucket 1 from the guide rails.
  1. Turn the calibration bucket 1 and slide it into the guide rails.
  1. Open the calibration flap with the lever 1.

  1. If the implement has two injectors 4 and two metering units 1,

    deactivate the conveyor section 3 with the lever 2.

The seed from both metering units can now be collected in the calibration bucket.

NOTE
If uniform emptying is desired for a two-chamber hopper with only one seed type, the target rates must be converted to the percentage of the hopper volume.

  1. To start the calibration via the TwinTerminal 1 or the calibration button:

    Refer to the ISOBUS software operating manual, Calibration menu

or

refer to the Control computer operating manual.

  1. To start the calibration via the control terminal:

    Refer to the ISOBUS software operating manual, Calibration menu

or

refer to the Control computer operating manual.

  1. Close the calibration flap with the lever 1.
  1. Activate the conveyor section 2 with the lever 1.
  1. Take the calibration bucket 1 from the guide rails.
  1. Pour the seed from the calibration bucket into the collapsible bucket 1.
  2. Unfold the bar 3.
  3. Hang the scale 2 on the bar.
  4. Hang the collapsible bucket on the scale and read the weight of the collected seed.

  5. refer to the ISOBUS software operating manual, Calibration menu

or

refer to the Control computer operating manual.

  1. If the implement is equipped with a two-chamber hopper,

    also calibrate the metering unit for the second hopper tip.
  1. Turn the calibration bucket 1 and put it in parking position.
