Seed Calibration
The calibration test should be done to confirm the required
seed rate to be sown and is done with the drill stationary and
level and the fan off.
Seed Calibration Procedures
1Prepare a suitable area for weighing and setup the
scales. Tare the scales with the same container that
will be used to weight the product. Scales must be
accurate to 2 grams
2 Ensure that the metering unit is free from debris. Close
the trap-door and the bin emptying gate.
3The metering unit should already be set. If not refer to
the pre-calibration flowchart on previous pages. Note
that it can be hard to adjust the settings once product is
in the bins.
4 Fill the appropriate bin. A minimum depth of 300mm is
required for calibration with normal seeds.
5Undo the elbow and place the plastic container under
the metering unit of the bin to be calibrated.
6Return to the tractor to access the SmartAG screen.
7Go to the Bin/Tank tab as shown below.
8Select the Bin that you want to calibrate.
9Select Product to change if required, touch the tick to
accept.
