All product metered
during calibration must
be caught and weighed.
Any product metered
but not weighed will
cause inaccuracies
with
the calibration process
The larger the
sample size metered,
the higher the
calibration accuracy
Step 8. Using the large metering shaft
calibration handle, turn the calibration shaft in a
clockwise direction to produce an adequate sample
size.
NB. There is no need to count the calibration handle
turns.
Step 9. Record the weight of the product
metered and enter into the Simplicity E15 Actuator
Drive Seed Rate Controller as per the Actuator Drive
Seed Rate Controller Operators Manual. The
‘Calibration Factor’, which is the relationship between the
calibration shaft turns and the weight of the product metered, is
then automatically calculated.
Total Amount Metered
Number of Spool Revolutions
Step 10. Enter the application rates required into the
Simplicity E15 Actuator Drive Seed Rate controller.
Step 11. Repeat the above procedures for all other bins.
Step 12. To begin seeding turn each individual bin on using
the corresponding bin on/off switch on the Simplicity E15 Seeder
Console. Turn Master Switch on and move off. The Linear
Actuators will move to the preset target rates entered for each
bin.
NB. The Air Seeder drive clutch is controlled by the ‘Master
Switch’ on the Simplicity E15 Seeder Console. To stop seeding at
any time simply turn the master switch off. The actuators will not
move from the preset target position. To resume seeding, turn
the master switch back on and seeding will immediately
recommence at the target rate.
Compaction Warning
Important: Traveling with fertilisers, while not metering, will cause
compaction around the agitator and metering spools. It is very important
to turn the agitator and metering shafts by hand using the small handle
supplied, before engaging the drive clutch.
Failure to free up
any compaction
can result
in
damage to the
metering drive
mechanisms and
gearbox.
Do not
use the calibration
handle (large) for
this purpose as the
drive mechanisms
will be overloaded
