Starting the Controller

Always connect all the cables to the machine.
When the RC 350 Controller is powered up it always starts in the “Stopped” mode.

At the top of the screen you will see "Front", a "clock" and “>" & "," buttons. If you touch the
">" button the settings the "Back" hopper will show and if the “<” button the "Area Information"

screen will show. If you press the">" button several times the "Controls" screen will show. On
this screen you will be able to adjust the "Brightness" in percent and the "Run fall-back" time
in (*sec) or press the "<" button to go back to a "Hopper" screen.
At the bottom of the screen you will see the “Menu”, “Prime”, “Calibrate” and “GO” buttons.

In the centre of the screen the "kg/ha", "Select Crop" and “+” and “-” buttons are shown.

When you press the “kg/ha” button the "Weight Entry" screen shows and you enter the

kilograms per hectare (target weight). If a wrong entry is made press the “Cancel” button but
if it is correct press "OK".
The last weight entry is always shown above the "OK" button. (Was xxx.x kg/ha)

Selecting the Crop

When you press the “Select Crop” button, a crop list shows for that hopper. ((1) Front) Select
the crop and if you wish press "Edit", and name the crop, and enter the target weight. At any
stage, you can "Cancel" and stay with the original name and setting or “Save” the new
settings. The controller will always ask you to "Select" even if no change is made. Repeat if a
second or third hopper are fitted to the machine.

The “+” and “-” buttons increase or decrease the “kg/ha in both "GO" and "Stopped" mode.
The “Menu”, “Prime” and “Calibrate” buttons at the lower part of the screen are more

functions.
“Prime” primes the selected hopper.

Calibrating

“Calibrate” takes you to the calibrate screen for the selected hopper.
On this screen you can select the “RPM” and the run time in “Seconds” for the hopper/s.
Please follow the on screen instructions (See "Calibration" 1, 2, 3 & 4. Or "Cancel").
When the calibrated weight has been entered, the controller will revert to the “Hopper”

screen in the "Stopped" mode.
