Red: motors are switched on and can be stopped with this button.
5.2 BASIC SETTINGS MENU
For initial operation or when pressing and holding the Set button in the Start menu for five seconds (see
also Point 6.1), the basic settings for the utilised seeder must be entered (e.g. settings for the implement
and fan type, seeding shaft motor, etc.).

Figure 7
Description of the button functions
The Basic settings menu is exited without saving the modified settings.
The Basic settings menu is exited and the modified settings are saved. When the
settings have been changed, the controller is restarted.
By pressing and holding this button for 5 seconds, a factory reset is performed, i.e.
all of the settings are reset and the Basic settings menu is called up again.
Description of the display elements
Selection of the implement type. The following selections are available:
PS120E, PS120H, PS200E, PS200H, PS300E, PS300H, PS300E TWIN, PS300H
TWIN, PS500E, PS500H, PS800H, PS1600H or LF600
Here, "E" stands for electric fan and "H" for hydraulic fan.
Fig.: 5

Selection of the seeding shaft motor or the pump (installed in LF600) and its number of
pulses per revolution. For the PS TWIN implement type, a second motor can be
selected.
Note: when selecting the implement type and the seeding shaft motor, the default
values are automatically displayed.
The following default values are stored:
P8 motor (installed in PS120 –PS500, PS TWIN): 378
P17 motor (installed in PS800 –PS1600): 1024
Pump (installed in LF600): 400
Selection of the number of seed types to be spread for the PS TWIN implement type:
one seed type (with part-width section function)
two seed types (across the same working width)
Selection of the existing PS fan. The following selections are available: electric fan,
electric fan PLUS, hydraulic/external fan or no fan (OFF).
When using a hydraulic fan, you must select whether a sensor is installed on the PS for
fan monitoring (speed sensor).
Setting whether a calibration button is installed on the implement (available as an
accessory).
