The Stepper Seed Control module allows Rawson ACCU-RATE Variable Rate Controller users to
control up to three hydraulic motor drives via the display. If you have purchased the Stepper Seed Rate
Control module, you should configure it in the following order.
1. Configure Stepper Seed Rate Control module
See “Stepper Seed Rate Control Configuration” on page 89
2. Enter Controller Settings
Include the Max Meter Speed, Gear Ratio and Minimum Allowable Ground Speed. See “Controller Settings
for Stepper Seed Rate Motor Drives” on page 90 .
3. Prime the Stepper Seed Meter
This fills the seed meter with seed, and thus allows you to avoid skips in your field. See “Priming Seed Rate
Meters” on page 94 .
4.
- a. Enter Meter Calibration Number. This number, representing seeds per revolution, is set according
to the number of seeds dropped per one revolution of the seed meter. See “Calibrating Seed Rate
Meters” on page 94 .
- b. Perform a Seed Meter Calibration (not always required). A new calibration should be performed if
your as-applied seed rate does not match the actual population planted. See “Calibrating Seed Rate
Meters” on page 94 .
