TARGET RATE
Target Rate establishes the desired rate of application in pounds per acre
(Kg/ha).
DENSITY
Density is the weight per volume of material to be dispensed and is required
to convert the spreader constant. If density is unknown, a value of 1 can be
entered to perform a spreader constant. This will place the channel into a
pure pulses/ft
3
granular system.
SPREADER CONSTANT
Spreader Constant establishes the value for the amount of material per
pulse of the application rate sensor. The value entered defines the pulses
from the feedback sensor per ft
3 of material discharged. Each material (and
gate setting as applicable) has its own spreader constant. For best results,
the value must be as accurate as possible.
This value may be set manually. However, for the most accurate
result, use the Spreader Constant Calibration.
LOW SHAFT RPM
Low Shaft RPM establishes the low shaft RPM at which the meter shaft will
operate.
