Performing a calibration
 
The operating instructions of the implement explain when to perform a calibration.
 
 
You can only perform a calibration when the machine is ready for operation.
 
 
 
Procedure
 
 
 
þ
You have prepared the implement and its metering drives for calibration as described in the operating instructions from the implement manufacturer.
þ
The hopper is filled with a sufficient quantity of seed or fertilizer. Do not fill the hopper all the way, so that it is easier to remove or adjust a metering roll if necessary.
þ
The implement is at a standstill.
1.
On the work screen, press:
 FS_Einstellungen
⇨
The "Settings / Metering unit" screen appears.
2.
Select the metering unit for which you want to perform the calibration test.
⇨
You can see the currently selected metering unit by the number in the upper area of the screen.
3.
Enter the target rate with which you want to work later.
4.
Press the function key of the metering drive for which you want to perform the calibration: e.g.:  FS_Abdrehprobe Dosierantrieb 1 or  FS_Abdrehprobe Dosierantrieb 2
⇨
The "Calibration" screen appears.
5.
In the input box under the text "Speed correct?", enter the speed you want to use later on when seeding.
6.
 FS_Dosierzellen füllen - Fill the metering cells with seed or with fertilizer.
⇨
The metering cells turn for several seconds.
7.
 FS_Starten - Start the calibration.
8.
Start the calibration on the implement. Proceed as described in the operating instructions from the implement manufacturer.
9.
Wait until the required quantity has been applied.
10.
Terminate the calibration on the implement. Proceed as described in the operating instructions from the implement manufacturer.
⇨
A screen appears on the monitor with the text: "3. Quantity".
⇨
The job computer calculates a weight from the data available and displays it in the field next to the text "3.Quantity". It is possible that the displayed weight is different than the calibration weight.
11.
Weigh the seed that was applied during the calibration.
12.
Enter the weight in the field next to the text "3. Quantity".
⇨
The job computer calculates the minimum and the maximum speed at which these target rates are possible using the selected metering roll.
⇨
The job computer saves all of the data on the product in the product database.
