Setting target rate
Use the following parameter on the “SETTINGS” screen to define how much slurry should be applied on an area.
- ▪
- “Target Rate”
- Defines how much slurry should be applied per hectare.
- ▪
- “Unit”
- Defines the unit that should be used for the metering, depending on whether you want to measure the volume or the mass.
- –
- “Regul. (Vol.)”
- –
- “Regul. (Mass)”
- –
- “Reg. Phosphorus”
- –
- “Reg. Nitrogen”
- –
- “Reg. Ammonia”
- –
- “Reg. Pottasium”
- ▪
- “Density”
- Defines the density of the slurry.
- ▪
- “Regul. factor”
- Defines the adjustment of the flow rate for the speed. This should ensure that the applied volume of slurry corresponds exactly to the defined target rate.
- The regulation factor adjusts the reaction speed of the regulation:
- –
- The higher the regulation factor, the faster the flow rate is adjusted.
- –
- The lower the regulation factor, the more slowly the flow rate is adjusted.
- When setting the regulation factor, you can pay attention to the following:
- –
- If, during movement at constant speed, the current application rate jumps around the target rate, you need to reduce the regulation factor.
- –
- If, when the speed changes, the application rate does not adjust to the target rate quickly enough, you need to increase the regulation factor.
