Adding an AC110 Implement - Rate Control Settings for Dry Rate Control (Conveyor)

Before you can use your implement for spreading operations, you must configure and calibrate it for rate control via the Rate Control Settings panel. For spreading operations, you must configure both a conveyor and a spinner.
• For conveyor configuration and calibration, see the figure and table below.
• For spinner configuration and calibration, see Adding an AC110 Implement - Rate Control Settings for Dry Rate Control (Spinner)

Button	Description
Controller Type	Displays the Rate Controller Type panel.    • Setting the Controller Type to something other than 'None' displays the rate              control indicators and buttons on the map and enables all conveyor control                functionality.    • Setting the Controller Type to 'None' disables all rate controller panels and                  buttons in REBEL. Select this option if you are not using conveyor control.
Conveyor Type	Displays the Conveyor Type panel. Options are:    • Motorized Direct Two-wire electric motor opens and closes the flow control valve        to subsequently increase or decrease the application flow rate respectively.    • Motorized Inverse Two-wire electric motor opens and closes the flow control              valve to inversely decrease or increase the application flow rate respectively.    • PWM Electrohydraulic solenoid valve proportionally increases application flow             rate with increased duty cycle (voltage).    • PWM Ground Electrohydraulic solenoid valve proportionally decreases application        flow rate with increased duty cycle (voltage).    • Positive Close (On or Off) Select Yes for installations where the rate control valve        is also used to stop and start product application, for example when no boom            On/Off or section valves are present.
Start Conveyor and Stop Conveyor	Useful in manually stopping and starting the regulating valve to identify if you selected an incorrect Conveyor Type option or if a cable is not connected.
On Look Ahead	Displays the On Look Ahead data entry window. The On Look Ahead value is the number of seconds before REBEL begins to adjust the belt speed ahead of a rate change (increase the number to turn on sooner). For example, if the setting is one second REBEL begins to adjust one second before it hits the new rate in an upcoming polygon. This setting applies only to variable rate applications (prescription maps).
Calibration	Press to display the Calibrate Conveyor panel, from which you set calibration values (Density, Gate Height, Volume Calibration), perform system calibration and conveyor calibration, and view/edit calibration values (descriptions start in the next row of this table). Density Calibration Displays the Density Calibration data entry window, where you enter the density of the product (user-provided value). Gate Height Displays the Gate Height data entry window, where you enter the gate height (user-provided value). Conveyor Calibration To perform conveyor calibration: 1. Press Conveyor Calibration. A Calibrate message appears. 2. Follow the directions to disengage the spinner and place a container under the conveyor to catch material, then press Yes. The calibration process starts and a progress message (with elapsed calibration time) appears. To stop the calibration press Stop. 3. Weigh the material and enter the weight value in the Volume Calibration window (see below). Volume Calibration Displays the Volume Calibration data entry window, where you enter the value obtained from the conveyor calibration (see above). System Calibration To calibrate the conveyor system: 1. Press System Calibration to start the system calibration process—a Calibrate message appears. 2. Press Yes. The calibration process starts and may take up to ten minutes. A progress message (with elapsed calibration time) appears during calibration. To cancel the calibration press Cancel. 3. Once calibration is complete the following message appears—press Ok to close the message. Calibration Values Displays the Calibration Values panel Caution: The values on this panel are set during the calibration process. Outback recommends that you contact Outback Customer Service or your local dealer before changing any of these values. To edit the values, press the appropriate button and use the data entry window that appears to enter a value.    • Meter Calibration - resulting value of completed conveyor calibration (this is an          advanced diagnostic parameter—if you need to adjust this value, contact                  Outback Guidance Customer Service for assistance). This field is enabled only            after you enter a Volume Calibration value (see previously in this table).    • K - gain, or how fast the system attempts to hit the target rate.    • Trigger (l/min) - how soon before the target rate the system switches to fine              control.    • Flow Range (l/min) - distance (range) between high flow and low flow.    • Min PWM - minimum voltage (percentage) to receive a control valve response.    • Max PWM - maximum voltage (percentage) to receive a control valve response.    • Time Response - (set by the calibration) measure, in seconds, of how quickly the        rate control system will react before adjusting the actual rate when it deviates          from the target rate.
