Low Population Limit1. Touch SETUP SELECT switch (A), the display will show LO WARN. 2. To change the number, touch DIGIT SELECT switch (B) until triangle is below the number to be changed. 3. Touch 0-9 switch (C) until desired number is displayed. NOTE: The low warning limit example is 10 percent less than the desired planting rate of 30,000 seeds per acre used in this example. This limit is a variable decided by the user. It should be kept in mind that setting too close a limit will sound the LO WARN alarm more often. When planting volume-metered or small seeds, the pounds per acre will have to be converted to seeds per acre. Refer to the planting rate charts and information under charts in the planter operator's manual for average number of seeds per pound. Take the average seeds per pound and multiply by pounds per acre. This will give a very rough average seed/acre population. Subtract 50 percent of this for a starting LO WARN limit. After the actual planting population range is displayed, the LO WARN limit may be changed to a closer tolerance. The number shown, 027.0, is an example. This means that when any row is planting less than 27,000 seeds per acre, the alarm will sound, the display will show LO WARN, and the display will lock onto that row. The alarm will sound every 1/200th of an acre as long as the row is planting low. |
