eferred ground speed

source to achieve the best accuracy.

- ECU Manage).

7. Verify geometry for each boom. Go to Implement/Geometry.

2. Calibration

1. Engage airseeder fan hydraulics.

2. Open Conﬁguration panel.

3. Enter speed that you will be seeding at, this will ensure that calibration is performed at seeding speed.

Important:

Granular Fertilizer & NH3/ Liquid boom geometry and section widths are preset as a MRB layout. If that is not the case adjust geometry and section widths of booms accordingly

. Also all boom geometry is set as the latest conﬁgurations coming from the factory so should be veriﬁed for older units.

8. If using sectional control, set on/off times

for section valves for each boom. Go to

Implement/Section Contr

ol/Timing.

ime from section valve to the ground).

9. Set up the in-cab & on frame switchbox.

Go to Implement/Keypad. Pick the ID for the respective keypad.

10.

Set the on/off sequence time for each tank. Go to Implement/Seeder/Granular Tank. (For non-sectional it is time from the meter to the ground, for sectional it is time from the meter to the section valve).

1. For each tank select metering auger type (stamped on the end of the shaft: 1X

- single ﬂight, 2X - double ﬂight, HX

- high output, LO - low output) - go to

Implement /Seeder/Granular/Drive Setup.

12. Enable drill control (if installed)

- go to

Implement/Seeder/Drill Control.

13. Enable blockage monitoring (if installed)

- go to Implement/Seeder/Accessories/ Blocked Head.

14. Enable brakes (if installed) - go to

Implement/Seeder/Accessories/Brake Contr

ol.

15. Conﬁgure weigh system (if installed)

- go to Implement/Seeder/Weigh Scales

16. Select speed source that will be used - go to Implement /Seeder/Speed Source.

17.

Enter new products - go to Product/ Granular or Liquid, select New Product and follow prompts.

Note: above are basic settings to be able to seed. For special customized features refer to supplied Operator

’s Manuals.

When the Master Switch is turned on and the unit is seeding the icon will be green.

When the Master Switch is turned on but something is stopping the meters from turning the icon will be yellow

. (e.g. ASC

over coverage, tanks switched off, etc.)

If the Master Switch icon is red it means something is not ready preventing you from starting to

seed. Press the icon to bring up a Status menu displaying what is preventing seeding.

4. Seeding

If the Master Switch icon is

white it means the system is

ready to seed.

Start moving and turn Tank switches and Master switch ON to begin seeding (using

cabin switchbox or on screen switches).

Note: All the screens might not look exactly the same as shown depending on how the

monitor is setup and what airseeder conﬁguration is being used.

5. Area Terminology

A - Area Worked - Displays the calculated

area that the boom has covered including any overlapped area and is based on GPS painted area.

Displayed on the dashboard for the current boom displayed on the guidance screen.

Also displayed on the job statistics mini-view with a tab to change between booms.

Appears for each layer in the job report. The Applied Rate layers for each tank account for the on time of the tanks so may dif

fer slightly from the Coverage Map layers for each boom.

The Area Worked is based on GPS painted a

rea and takes into account curves and turns so is the most accurate representation of the area that the product has been applied over!

Older software used to display Covered Area

which did not account for overlap so was not an accurate representation of the area that product was actually applied over!

B - Boundary Area - Displays the calcu-

lated area within the boundary when created and is based on GPS.

C -

Area Remaining - Displays the calcu-

lated area remaining unpainted within the boundary when created and is based on GPS.

D -

Treated Area - Displays the calculated

area each tank has applied product over based on the width of the boom and the distance travelled based on speed and time.

Displayed on the job area counters and implement area counters for each tank in the seeder controller screen.

Appears for the summary of each tank at the end of the job report.

reated Area in the Job Area Counter should be close to Area Worked but will differ due to calculation not being as accurate as GPS (if certain tanks are switched of

f for extended periods then it would dif-

fer more substantially).

If using manual speed or wheel speed and they are slightly out the

Treated Area will

become less accurate.

E - ASC Savings - Displays the calculated

percent savings in area of a sectional boom compared to the area that would have been applied if it were a full width boom.

- Full Area - Displays the calculated

area that would have been applied if the boom was full width.

Appears for the summary of each tank at the end of the job report.

G - Job Area Counter - Area counting

will accumulate per job and will always be reset when a new job is created or it can be reset manually

H - Implement Area Counter - Area

counting will accumulate until the implement is changed or it can be reset manually

Either Job Area Counter or Implement Area Counter can be enabled individually or both at the same time.
