2.4 Determining/entering the fertiliser calibration factor
The fertiliser calibration factor determines the regulating behaviour of
the implement computer and depends on the flow characteristics of
the fertiliser to be spread.
In turn, the fertiliser flow characteristics depend on:
•fertiliser storage, storage time and climatic factors.
•working conditions.
•The fertiliser calibration factor can be found in the setting chart
for each fertiliser.
•Use the fertiliser calibration factor from the setting chart as a
base value before calibration.
•The value of the setting chart is optimised by calibrating the
fertiliser.
•The determined fertiliser calibration factor overwrites the value
from the setting chart.
Realistic calibration factors for fertiliser (0.7 to 1.4):
•0.7 for urea
•1.0 for calcium ammonium nitrate (CAN)
•1.4 for fine, heavy PK fertilisers

2.5.1 Calibrating the distance sensor (pulses per 100 m)
The on-board computer needs the "Pulses per 100 m" calibration
value to
•determine the actual forward speed [km/h].
•the worked area.
If the calibration value is not known, it must be determined by means
of a "Pulses per 100 m" calibration run.
You can enter the "Pulses per 100m" calibration value manually in the
if the precise calibration value is known.
Always determine the precise calibration value for "Pulses per 100 m"
by means of a calibration run:
•before initial operation.
•when using a different tractor or after changing the tractor tyre
size.
•if there are differences between the measured and actual for-
ward speed / distance travelled.
•if there are differences between the measured and actual
worked area.
•if there are different soil conditions.
The "Pulses per 100 m" calibration value must be determined under
the prevailing operating conditions. If operation is carried out with all-
wheel drive switched on, you must also switch on the all-wheel drive
when determining the calibration value.
Entering the pulses per 100 m
1. Select the distance sensor.
→The pulses per 100 m will be displayed.
2. , Enter the pulses per 100
m, if known.
3. Save the value and go back to the
work display.

Determining the pulses per 100 m
1. Measure a calibration distance of exactly
100 m.
2. Mark the start and end points.
3. Drive up to the starting point.
4. Press and hold the button for 6
seconds.
→The display flashes.
5. Drive the calibration distance of exactly 100
m.
→The pulses are being counted.
6. Stop.
→The determined value for the pulses per
100 m is displayed.
→The display flashes.
7. Confirm the value and go back to
the work display.
2.5.2 Setting the simulated speed.
Selecting a simulated speed enables working with the implement
without a speed signal (distance sensor / pulses per 100 m).
The forward speed must correspond to the simulated speed during
operation. Otherwise, the correct spread rate will not be achieved.
1. Select the simulated speed.
If the distance sensor display (values greater
than 250) first switches to simulated speed, see
page 12.
2. , Enter the value for the
simulated speed.

•
Enter the values for the spread rate in kg/ha and the working
width before operation.
•Determine the fertiliser calibration factor.
Work display at a standstill:
→The spread rate in kg/ha is shown separate-
ly for both shutters.
When the spreading discs are driven,
start driving and simultaneously open the
shutters.
For spreading on one
side, select the corresponding shutter.
The LED shows which shutter is open on one
side.
After pressing the button, you
must start driving within 6 seconds.
"SPEED" display
Then error message E50 appears.
→Press the button again.
The shutters are closed when the
speed is lower than 1.5 km/h.
→When the implement accelerates
within 6 seconds, the shutters
are opened again.

kg/ha km/h
During operation, the spread rate can be
changed on both sides or on one side by 10%
each time the button is pressed.
Moreover, the originally set spread rate (100%)
can be restored.
(1) Rate on the left
(2) Rate on both sides
(3) Rate on the right
Work display while driving when the spread rate
is changed on one side or both sides:
→The spread rate in kg/ha is shown separate-
ly for both shutters.
If the deviation from the setpoint is
greater than 5%, the work display
alternately shows the current value
and error message E11.
Wedge-shaped field spreading
The multi-stage, one-sided rate change can also
be used as manual part-width section control
when driving into a wedge and when driving out
of a wedge.
This improves the overlap and therefore the ferti-
liser distribution between the area inside the field
and the headland area.
