Allows display clarity to be set up.
Allows meter to monitor extremly slow coulter shaft typically set to 20% .
The meter will go into HOLD mode as define be the setting here. For a Spreader
there are 2 options, Single and twin floor.The operator will manually switch between
run and hold using the run/hold switches. When in run mode and moving the
computer will record are spread etc and control the chain motors accordingly.
Other RUN/ HOLD modes:
- ONE FLOOR. For single floor spreader.
- TWIN FLOOR. For twin floor spreader.
Is the distance travelled by the spreader each time the speed sensor is triggered.
Is the spreading width of the spreader. This number is used to work out area spread.
Set date here.
Enter a HELP DESK Phone number here of who to ring for Area Meter support.
Allows the unit to be named. Allows easy identification of a Meter.
Set time here
Sets the update rate for the PWM for the chain motor/s. Typically set to 2.
Sets the update rate for the PWM for the spinner motor. Typically set to 2. Only
with the Single floor is the spinner computer controlled
Speed of the spinner for the current job
Max RPM for the chain motor
Max RPM for the spinner motor
Door open setting for the current job
Spreader rate for the current job
Name of product for the current job
Number of Spinner pulses for 1 rev of the Spinner motor
Number of Chain pulses for 1 rev of the Chain motor
Number of Chain pulses for 1 rev of the Chain motor (Note**)
Width of the chain floor
Density of the Material being spread
Ration betwen the chain motor and the floor out put shaft
Number of speed pulses to count before the DIST PULSE distance is travelled
In dump mode and Single floor this is the RPM of the Spinner
If Over or under spreading compare to the set rate then this number with make the
spreader eeith incres the spreading amount or decrease the spreading amount.
If set to 1.000 no change to the set rate. If set to 1.0500 then the rate will be reduced
by 5%. If set to 0.950 then the rate is increased by 5%.
Time interval for the meter auto saving date when machine is not moving.
PWM setting that has the spinner almost moving, this helps for soft stoping and
starting the spinner.
PWM setting that has the chain almost moving, helps for starting the chain/s.
Name for implement, as reported on the report
Used to get the spreader outputing the correct weight in dump mode.
In single floor mode, this date is the last time the spinner motor was learn, this
learning process makes quick start for the spinner motor possible.
This date is the last time the chain motor was learnt, this learning process makes
quick start for the chain motor possible.
Number used to case calc the RPM for the motor. Typically 906.
Temperature when the oil temp alarm will alert the user that the oil temp has reached
this level.

Used to offset the material door setting area. Due to the chain taking up part of the
output slot. Typically set to 2260
