1. OVERVIEW
This manual covers the calibration of the RDS Pro-Series Apollo 8000 for Marshall Multispread
Fertiliser Spreaders.
The Instrument must be calibrated before commencing normal operation. Many settings are made
only on initial calibration eg from the FACTORY SETUP screen. Other calibration settings will need
to be altered on a regular basis, depending upon the product to be spread.

1.2 CONTROL CHANNELS
The RDS Pro-Series Apollo 8000 is an extremely versatile control system, with the ability to
control up to 4 separate control channels. When tted to the Marshall Multispread only one control
channel is required, the Danfoss proportional valve which drives the Multispread feedbelt. In order
to prevent operator confusion, the remaining 3 control channels have been disabled within the
PS401 version software.
1.3 DATA ENTRY
Alpha-numeric values are entered via the right-hand key pad. Letters are entered by pressing
the key 2 to 5 times and scrolling through the letter options, as per writing an SMS message on a
mobile telephone. (Some Keys have additional special characters not shown on the key legend).
The key will either toggle between lower and upper case characters or when proceding a
numerial entry, will set a minus value.
The key will toggle between 0 and a SPACE.
The key will BACKSPACE the screen cursor if you need to re-enter a character.
The key is the RETURN key and is normally pressed to conrm the data entry into memory.

2.2.1 FEEDBACK
The Feedback function displays the Pulse Per Revolution (ppr) returned from the rotary encoder
mounted on the nal drive shaft. The default value is 360 ppr. The rotary encoder returns 360
pulses per revolution of the nal drive shaft.
2.2.2 RESPONSE
The System Response function sets the frequency at which the system adjusts the motor/
proportional valve when reacting to changes in forward speed. A lower setting results in a slower
response, and increases the time taken for the application rate to match the target rate. A higher
setting results in a faster response. If the application rate is unstable and varies around the target
rate, then the response setting may be too high.

2.2.3 DEADBAND
The Deadband function sets the range over which the application rate will vary about the target
rate before the valve/motor will respond. A lower value will make the motor adjust more frequently
and vise versa.
Default : 1 Range : 0.01 - 9999
2.2.4 STARTUP/CONTROL DELAY
The Startup/Control Delay function governs the time taken for the belt to begin moving when the
master switch is turned ON.
Default : 2 secs.
In most situations a 2 sec startup delay is acceptable.
2.2.5 POWER-ON PWM
2.2.6 VALVE SETUP (g 5)
The Danfoss Proportional Valve tted to Multispread works on Normal PWM at a PWM frequency
of 100Hz.
The Minimum and Maximum Duty of the Danfoss Proportional Valve needs to be setup on rst
installation. Proportional Valves dont respond over the full PWM range from 1-100%. Typically they
operate from 20% to 70%. To set the Minimum and Maximum PWM % the Valve Calibration
Procedure should be carried out. Before starting the Valve Calibration ensure that the Instrument
is in manual control mode (see page of Operation manual)
VALVE SETUP
VALVE CALIBRATION
The minimum duty is effectively the minimum feedbelt RPM that can be achieved at operating
oil pressure and ow. The maximum duty is effectively the maximum feedbelt RPM that can be
achieved at operating oil and pressure. In normal spreading conditions the feedbelt RPM will be
between 3 and 30 RPM, ensuring an application rate from between 15 to 8000 kg/ha.
pg 10
g 5: Valve Setup Screen

2.3 VALVE CALIBRATION (g 6)
** Important ** The Multispread should be connected to the
oil supply (tractor hydraulics or truck pump), and the oil
must be at operating pressure and ow rate.
To set the Minimum Duty.
Turn the spreader on using the toggle switch. Slowly increase
the PWM % using the PWM UP KEY until the feedbelt just
begins to move.
When the belt is just moving press enter to store the minimum duty and minimum feedbelt RPM.
Then move the cursor down to MAX DUTY
To set the Maximum Duty.
Increase the PWM % using the PWM UP KEY until the maximum speed is reached. eg the point at
which pressing the PWM UP KEY has no effect on the feedbelt speed.
Then press enter to store the maximum duty and maximum feedbelt RPM.

will be required to put a known weight into the spreader or alternatively load the machine and use
a weighbridge and deduct the self weight of the spreader.
Move the cursor to LOADCELL CALIBRATION ROUTINE and press enter. (g 10)
Ensure the spreader is on level ground and that there is no
material in the hopper.
Then press enter to Zero the loadcells.
The Spreader must then be loaded with a known weight or
loaded and then driven over a weighbridge deducting the
self weight of the spreader. (g 11)
With the spreader loaded, enter the weight in kg and press
enter.
The loadcell calibration is then complete. (g 12)

5.0 TECHNICAL CONFIG MENU
It is unlikely that the operator will need to access the technical conguration menu in normal use.
the settings within the Technical Cong menu deal with how the instrument handles speed
smoothing, uctuations in application rate, loadcell correction and the printer port setup.
5.1 DISPLAY OPTIONS
MENU
2. TECHNICAL CONFIG
1. DISPLAY OPTIONS
5.1.1 SPEED SMOOTHING
The forward speed display is electronically dampened. If the forward speed is constantly changing
by small increments, you can increase the dampening time to give a steadier readout. The forward
speed will then be calculated over a longer time period, giving a steadier reading.
Adjustable from 0 to 19 seconds. Default : 2 seconds
5.1.2 RATE LOCK-ON
“Rate Lock-On” sets the % by which the application rate uctuates either side of the nominal
application rate before the instrument display changes.
For example, if your actual application rate uctuates in normal operation from 97 kg/ha to
103 kg/ha for a target application of 100 kg/ha, you may decide that it is acceptable for the
instrument to display a steady readout of 100 kg/ha between those limits. ie +/- 3%. In this case
the Rate Lock-On should be set to 3.
Adjustable from 0 to 50% Default : 2%
5.1.3 RATE SMOOTHING
The Application rate display is electronically dampened. If the readouts are constantly chaning by
small increments, you increase the dampening time to give a steadier readout.
Adjustable from 0 to 19 % Default : 2%
5.1.4 OFF TARGET
The Off Target function sets the threshold at which the instrument will alarm “UNDER
APPLICATION” or “OVER APPLICATION” when operating in automatic control mode. It is set as a
percentage either side of the target rate.
Adjustable from 0 to 50% Default : 20%
pg 18

5.2 LOADCELL CORRECTION
The Loadcell Correction menu deals with the setup of the dynamic and static calibration procedure
when loadcells are tted to the spreader.
TECHNICAL CONFIG
2. LOADCELL CORRECTION
5.2.1 CORRECTION SPAN
When in dynamic calibration mode, the instrument will not correct the calibration factor by more
than this percentage.
Default : 5.0%
5.2.2 MIN.STAT WEIGHT
When in static mode, the calibration test cannot be ended until at least this weight has been
spread - both in measured and calibrated weight.
Default : 200.0 kg
5.2.3 DYNAMIC TIME
This is the time period for each dynamic test. The calibration will be updated at this interval.
Default : 30 secs
5.2.4 DYNAMIC WEIGHT
The dynamic test will not end until at least this weight has been spread or until the time period is
elapsed.
Default : 200.0kg
5.2.5 START DELAY
This is the time delay between starting a new bout and the dynamic test starting. This allows time
for the machine to reach normal smooth operating speed.
Default : 10 secs
5.2.6 STEADY WEIGHT
If the a weight uctuation is seen above this level, the weight reading is seen as unstable and a
dynamic test will be aborted.
Default : 0.75%

4. PRINT CAL DATA
It is always a good idea to keep a record of calibration data either in the back of the manual. or as
a print out. Connect the print to the upper serial point. Ensure rst the the port has been
congured for a printer (see ports setup page 29)
Selecting the “PRINT CAL DATA” menu function immediately sends the data to the serial port. The
message “PRINTER BUSY” will be displayed while the data transfer is taking place.
If the bar on the screen stops lling up part way, the instrument cannot communicate with the
