Flowmeter Controller PF3000
Application Rate Mode Ag Leader Technology
April 2002 2-98
Actual Rate Scale Factor: Set to 1.000.
2. Press CONTRLER SETTINGS key. Set the following:
Flowmtr pulses/gal or unit (LIQUID or GRANULAR): Enter
the number of pulses per gallon or unit of flowmeter device.
NOTE: Most liquid flow meters have the number of pulses
per gallon somewhere on the flow meter. Raven flow
meters have the number of pulses per 10 gallons. For
example if Raven Flow Meter has a number of 720, use 72
for setting.
Flowmeter pulses/10 revs (PLANTING): Set equal to the
number of teeth of sprocket for shaft speed sensor times ten.
Example: If sprocket has 30 teeth then setting is 300 (30 x 10 =
300)
Act rate:Flowmeter ratio (LIQUID or GRANULAR): If want to
record the carrier gallons/ac set to 1.000:1. This is the typical
setting.
If want to record product units/ac use following formula:
# product units
1 gallon of carrier
= setting
Example:
.08 pint Treflan
1 gallon of carrier
= .080 (Setting is .080:1)
Number seeds/rev (PLANTING): Use the following formula to
determine this setting:
# of seeds dispensed for 1 row
1 rev of sprocket of sensor
x Total # of rows
Example: 12 row planter, 6 seeds dispensed per row per one
revolution of sprocket of shaft speed sensor. Setting is 72.
Area Count: Set to Standard if voltage from external switch goes
high during operation. Set to Reversed if voltage from external
switch goes low during operation. Standard is the normal setting.
