7.4 Speedsensorcalibration
VISIO calculates the information concerning the speed thanks to pulses received by the sensor installed on the wheel.
To perform calibration, proceed as follows:
- Measure a straight path at least 100 m (300 feet) long.
The longer the distance traveled, the more accurate the wheel constant calculation.
- Take measurements with tyres at the operating pressure.
This test must be performed on medium-hard terrain; for application to very soft or very hard terrain, rolling diameter may vary, leading to inaccurate
output calculation; when this is the case, repeat the procedure.
During the test, cover the distance with the tank lled up to half capacity with water.
7.4.1 Automatic calibration
Calculate and save the wheel constant according to the procedure below:
1) Open automatic calibration menu (Setup menu > Sensors > Speed sensor > Auto
Calibration).
Assoonasmenuisopen,theequipmentisreadytostartmeasuringwithnofurther
controlsbeingrequired.
Cover the requested distance: the number of pulses will increase during the path and the
bottom area will indicate instant speed reading.
Stop the tractor at the end of the distance.
If a malfunction occurs, the message Check sensor! will be shown in the top
part of the display.
Press OK to stop the counting. The display will go back to the previous menu and will show
the acquired value.
In case of measurement errors, or if it is necessary to stop the calibration, press ESC for 2
seconds to quit the calibration procedure without saving.
In this case, the value will be the one previously measured, or the default value.

7.4.2 Manual calibration
Manual calibration allows to enter the wheel constant value calculated with the suitable formula:
Kwheel= distance traveled (cm)
no. of detection points x wheel rpm
<distancetraveled>distance expressed in cm covered by the wheel along measurement travel;
<no.ofmeasurementpoints>number of measurement points (e.g., magnets, bolts, etc.), mounted on wheel;
<no.ofwheelrevolutions>number of wheel revolutions required to travel measurement distance.
The wheel constant can be calculated with a good approximation by detecting the distance traveled by the wheel with the speed sensor.
1) Open manual calibration menu (Setup menu > Sensors > Speed sensor > Man.
Calibration).
Cover the requested distance. Stop the tractor at the end of the distance and calculate wheel
constant (Kwheel).
2) Set wheel constant value:
A) Press to move through digits
B) Press a few times to edit the highlighted digit
C) Press to save changes, or D) Press to quit the page without conrming changes.
