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 spinner configuration and calibration, see the figure and table below.
• For conveyor configuration and calibration, see Adding an AC110 Implement - Rate Control Settings for Dry Rate Control (Conveyor)
Button | Description |
Spinner Type | Displays the Valve Type panel (top of panel shown at right). 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). |
Spinner Speed | Press to display a keypad, where you set the spinner speed (dry ‘spray’ width). |
Start Spinner and Stop Spinner | Useful in manually opening and closing the regulating valve to identify if you selected an incorrect Spinner Type option or if a cable is not connected. |
Calibration |
Press to display the Calibrate Spinner panel, from which you set the Sensor Count, perform a system calibration, and view/edit calibration values (descriptions start in the next row of this table). Sensor Count Press to display a keypad, where you enter the sensor count (for example, the number of bolts or bars on the spinner that pass the sensor during one revolution). This value is usually 1, 2, or 4. System Calibration To calibrate the spinner: Calibration Values 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. Press to the display the Calibration Values panel. To edit any of the following values, press a button to display a keypad, enter a new value, then press Done. |
