BOPERATION
B.1 Power On Routine
When the instrument is first turned on the instrument will enter a short routine to
remind the operator of the previous setup. The set up can be changed and then
accepted by pressing the ENTER key or alternatively, the routine can be skipped
by pressing the MAIN button (Key A).
The first screen on start up is the BIN SETUP screen. See Figure 1 This screen
advises the operator which products are defined to which bin. On the screen
format shown in Figure 1 the operator can use Keys E & F to cycle through the list
of products. The application rate saved against that product will also be shown.
The letter shown in the graphic will also change to reflect the product selected.
Figure 1. BIN SETUP screen
Key I can be used to move down the list with both ends of the arrow moving to
indicate the product and bin selected. Once at the end it will return to the
beginning with the next key press.
Pressing Key H accesses the BIN CONTENTS screen. See Figure 2. This screen
enables the operator to adjust the contents of the product in the bin. Pressing the
ENTER key returns to BIN SETUP screen.
9
Figure 2. BIN CONTENTS screen
Pressing Key G on the BIN SETUP screen accesses the PRODUCT SETUP screen.
See Figure 3. On this screen the operator can view/programme the setup
regarding the product in the bin selected.
Figure 3. PRODUCT SETUP screen
There is a directory of 16 products and against each of these 4 factors are
recorded. These factors are rate, step size, alarm weight and calibration factor.
The 1
st
line simply reminds the operator which bin the product is set for.
10
The 2
nd
line is the product name. This can be changed using the keypad, pressing
ENTER to confirm the name entered. This new name then applies to any of the
other bins that have the same product.
The 3
rd
line is the target rate for the product. This value can be changed here or
on the MAIN screen. The last entered value here or on the MAIN screen is the one
saved.
The 4
th
line is the step size. The step size is the percentage change of the target
sowing rate. This can be programmed here or on the screen INFO SETUP screen.
The 5
th
line of the display is the bin low level alarm weight. This can be
programmed here or on the INFO SETUP screen or on the ALARM SETUP screen.
The 6
th
line is the calibration factor for the product. This can be manually entered
here or on the INFO SETUP screen. Doing a product calibration of this product on
any bin overwrites this value irrespective of bin.
Pressing the ESC key returns to the BIN SETUP screen.
Pressing the ENTER key while showing the BIN SETUP screen accesses the RESET
TOTALS screen. See Figure 4. If Key I is pressed the instrument goes directly to
the MAIN operating screen. If Key E is then pressed a secondary screen is
displayed which enables the operator to reset either the ‘PART’ or ‘TOT’ area’s.
Select ‘PART’ or ‘TOT’ to highlight whish is to be reset and press the RESET button
(Key E). Press the ESC button (Key G) to return to the previous screen or the
ENTER button to confirm the reset. Press the MAIN button (Key A) when
complete.

Figure 9. MAIN screen summary (4 bin configuration)
Pressing the MAIN button (Key A) cycles between the two versions of the
appropriate MAIN screen (box specific and summary screens).
B.2.2 Main screen display features
Figure 10 provides a description of various features on the MAIN screen. This is
for a 4 bin configuration but also applies to the other configurations.
The top line of the display shows the time (top left) and area cut-out status (top
right). When the drill is ‘out of work’ (lifted) a cross is shown, a tick indicates ‘in
work’ (lowered). When the drill is ‘out of work’ motor control and alarms will be
inhibited. The second line of the MAIN display advises the operator of the
product that the details below relate to. This will change when Key I is pressed.
The metering rolls will be stationary when the motors are stationary and as soon
as the motors start rotating the icon will be animated. If the motor is turned off
a cross will be show.

If the instrument is ‘in work’ and the forward speed is below the minimum forward
speed setting (refer to C.1.5.2), then the instrument will beep and the display will
be as in Figure 11. The alarm bell icon and down arrows will flash in sequence
with the internal buzzer.
Figure 11. MAIN screen - low speed alarm
Pressing Key I cycles through the bins in a loop. The end of the arrow will move
to indicate the bin currently selected (underneath the metering roll). The product,
rate, amount, hectares done and motor status shown will change with each bin.
Pressing Key H will turn the selected bin motor ON or OFF irrespective of whether
the machine is in transport or not. When turned off the product totals stop
accumulating. The key tab reverses shading to show the status and the metering
roll shows a cross when turned off as shown in Figure 12.
Figure 12. MAIN screen - motors on & off
15
With the desired bin/product selected simply use the key pad to enter the desired
application rate. The digits will flash and pressing ENTER will confirm the rate
entered. Maximum is either 3 digits to 0 decimal places or 1 digit to 1 decimal
place. Resolution will be as follows 0.0 to 9.9 in 0.1 kg steps, 10 – 99 in 1 kg
steps, 100 – 999 in 5kg steps. Values programmed will be rounded to the nearest
acceptable value, i.e. 254 will be 255. It will only be possible to enter a new
application rate if the forward speed is below the minimum forward speed setting.
This rate is then saved against the specific product within the PRODUCT SETUP
screen, refer Figure 3.
When a new product rate has been entered, the MAIN screen shows the maximum
forward speed for 3 seconds or until a Key has been pressed. See Figure 13. The
maximum forward speed shown is the corresponding ground speed when the
motor is at maximum speed. This is based on the product calibration factor.
Figure 13. MAIN screen - max ground speed
Keys F & G are used to change the rate of the product selected. The default step
size is 10% but this can be changed. Refer to B.3.2.
The TARGET RETURN button (Key E) is used to return the actual sowing rate to
the target sowing rate when a rate change has already been made. Until the rate
has been changed the key is ‘greyed’ out.
Warning: The speed shown may
exceed the practical speed for
the machine and/or conditions.

B.3 Info Screen
B.3.1 Info screen options and bin configuration display
Figure 14 shows the information screen for the 4 bin configuration. The display
for the 2 and 3 bin configurations is similar. The INFO screen can be accessed at
any time by pressing the INFO button (Key B). The INFO screen displays the
amount of product remaining in the bin and also the shaft speed as calculated
from the shaft confirmation sensor. It is also used to access and set the bin
contents and settings.
Figure 14. INFO screen - 4 bin configuration
Key I is used to cycle through the bins. The end of the arrow also moves to the
appropriate bin under the metering roll. Pressing the INFO button (Key B) cycles
between the individual and summary INFO screens. Figure 15 shows the later.

17
B.3.2 Info screen display features
Pressing Key H when on the individual INFO screen accesses the BIN CONTENTS
screen. See Figure 16. This screen enables the operator to programme the
contents of the bin. The NOW value refers to the calculated current contents of
the bin based on the initial value less the number of shaft revolutions x product
calibration factor. This value can be changed directly by selecting NOW and using
the key pad and pressing ENTER. Alternatively, when a specific amount of product
is being added to the bin, select ‘TO ADD’ and use the key pad and press ENTER
to add to the NOW total. The NOW total will be updated. Pressing the ESC button
(Key G) returns to the previous INFO screen.
Figure 16. BIN CONTENTS screen
Pressing the SETUP button (Key G) when on the individual INFO screen, accesses
the INFO SETUP screen. See Figure 17. This screen shows a summary of the bin
setup which was selected on the INFO screen. The 3 cursors shown in Figure 17
are the only cursor positions selectable.
18
Figure 17. INFO SETUP screen
The first item is the low contents alarm for the bin. When the bin contents reach
this setting, the alarm will sound. This can be changed by using the keypad and
pressing ENTER. Setting to 0kg disables this alarm.
The second item is the ‘Step size’ and sets the percentage that the actual sowing
rate will change using the + and – buttons (Keys F and G) on the MAIN screen.
The actual sowing rate can be changed while sowing. The minimum value
programmable is 5%, the maximum is 50%.
The third item is the ‘Cal. factor’. The product calibration factor can be changed
by using the keypad and pressing ENTER.
Pressing the CAL CHECK key tab when on the individual INFO screen, accesses the
first screen of the calibration check procedure. For calibration programmes refer
to B.6.1.
Pressing the NUDGE key tab when on the individual INFO screen, accesses the
first screen of the calibration nudge programme. For the calibration programme
refer to B.6.1.
Press the ESC button to return to the INFO screen.
Pressing the TODAY button (Key E) accesses the TODAY screen shown in Figure
18. This shows information relating to the operation of the system since the
instrument was turned on that day and is reset at midnight.
Note: Changes to any of these
changes the product settings.
19
Figure 18. TODAY screen
The first line indicates the area that has been covered since the instrument was
turned on.
The second line displays the time that the drill has been in work and the motors
have been operating.
The third line shows the instantaneous work-rate based on the forward speed and
working width.
The fourth line shows the work-rate for the last bout. This is based upon the
distance and time between the system going ‘in to work’ and then going ‘out of
work’. It is updated every time the system goes ‘out of work’.
The fifth line shows the average work-rate since the instrument was turned on
that morning. It is based upon the area covered and the time in work (both
shown above).
This information is reset and the date updated at midnight.
Pressing Key G returns to the previously shown INFO screen.
