SYSTEM CONFIGURATION / 69
Granular Fertilizer
Channel Width requires a manual entry of the fertilizer spread width.
Precharge Time
Precharge Time is a specified length of time a control channel will operate
or be active with a minimum Precharge ground speed greater than 0. (Refer
to the Ground Speed Setup section for Precharge Ground Speed Setup
information). This feature will activate the control when the master switch is
turned ON even without ground speed.
NOTE: The master switch must be ON
to activate the Precharge
feature.
The Precharge feature is typically used in applications that have significant
distance between the implement row unit and storage bulk tank where seed
placement takes several seconds due to the travel time of the seed/fertilizer
from the bulk tank to the ground.
A Precharge alarm will display any time the Preset feature is established or
changed and the master switch is turned ON.
IMPORTANT: A Precharge number MUST be entered as a positive
number (5.0 seconds) for the system to identify between
a Precharge or Delay Time state.
To activate Precharge:
1. At the Control Channel screen, enter a Precharge time. A Precharge
Time must be entered before the Precharge Ground Speed feature
displays on the Ground Speed Setup screen (Refer to Ground Speed
Setup section).
2. Press the Work Screen button and select the Speed Set button.
3. Enter a Precharge Ground Speed greater than 0.
IMPORTANT: Turn the master switch ON to activate the Precharge
feature.
Delay Time
NOTE: Delay Time functionality may
work differently than described
above if the system has been
purchased direct from the
original equipment
manufacturer. Refer to the
manufacturer’s operator
manual for further instruction.
IMPORTANT: A Delay Time number MUST be entered as a negative
number (-5.0 seconds) for the system to identify
between a Delay Time or Precharge state.
With an Implement Lift Switch
Delay Time determines the length of time before the control channel will
start after the master switch has been turned ON and the implement switch
is in a lowered position.
• The system will immediately shutdown the channel when the
implement lift switch is in the raised position.
• The system will delay the channel shutdown if the master switch is
turned OFF and the implement is in the down position.
