Area Function
The area is derived from the forward speed and the pro-
grammed implement width and is accumulated to which-
ever total is selected on the display – total 1 or total 2.
Area accumulates only while the drill is in work, that is,
the drill is lowered and forward speed is detected.
The two separate area totals can be independently reset
to zero.
Before Area Total values can be meaningful, Implement
Width (page 52) and Speed Sensor Factor (page 49)
must be set. Implement Width never needs changing, but
S.S.F. may need attention if planting conditions vary.
Display Current Area Totals

2.
Press and release to alternate between the two
area totals. The display flashes “t0t.1” or “t0t.2”
to indicate the total about to be displayed.
3. The display then shows the area accumulated since
that total was last reset. This is either hectares or
acres depending on the Units setting.
