ACCUMULATORS
Some data item values can be reset to zero from the Main Work screen. An
accumulator displays (e.g., Area 1 Field, Seed Count, etc.) on the active
screen and can be reset to zero by placing a check mark in the box next to
the data item. Only accumulators on the currently-displayed screen can be
reset. Accumulators are reset independently and can only be reset when
the master/control switch is OFF. Once an accumulator has reached its
maximum value, it will roll over to 0.0.
To Reset Values on the Main Work screen:
1. Use the rotary knob to scroll to the Data Item to edit; the chosen check
box will be highlighted.
2. With the desired check box highlighted, push in the rotary knob.
3. Scroll the rotary knob to enter a check mark in the highlighted box.
Continuing to turn the rotary knob will toggle the checkmark on and off
in the box.
4. Press the OK softkey to accept selection or press Cancel to return to
the previous setting.
USING THE PRECHARGE FEATURE
The Precharge feature is typically used in applications that have significant
distance between the storage bulk tank and the implement row unit where
seed placement takes several seconds due to the travel time of the seed/
fertilizer from the bulk tank to the ground. When the precharge feature is
activated, material will dispense at the rate at which the precharge ground
speed is set.
Precharge features:
• operates until the precharge time lapses or the precharge ground
speed is exceeded.
• if ground speed reduces to 0, precharge aborts.
• alarm displays any time the preset feature is established or changed
and the master/control switch is turned on.
• applicable to planter control channels; not monitor only.
TIP: The master/control switch must be turned ON to activate
precharge.
Reference the System Configuration section for control channel and ground
speed setup instructions.
Enable the Precharge function:
Precharge is enabled at the Control Setup and Speed Setup screens.
1. Turn the master/control switch on.
2. Precharge automatically initiates when the master/control switch is
turned on and the ground speed is less than the precharge ground
speed but greater than 0.
– The rate instrument populates with the word “CHARGE” and the
countdown timer.
– Timer displays how much precharge time is left before it aborts.
