Introduction:
The FIELD MATE Spreader Rate controller and Area Meter has been developed to calculate land area, distance
travelled during spreading, while controling the speed of the floor chain to achieve a user defined spreading rate.
The meter will also record Spreading hours and timed stopped. While Spreading the meter can display the spreading rate
in hectare per hour and chain and spinner rpm as the desired spreading rate is controlled.
All measurements are metric.
A distance is measured via a magnetic wheel speed sensor. Shaft sensors are mounted on the chain and spinner motors.
Spreading on and off function is controlled by the in vehicle Fieldmate Run / hold switch.
To achieve the desired spreading rate the operator must enter the following:
- MATERIAL DENSITY.
- DOOR OPEN measurement.
- SPREADING RATE.
The FieldMate will compute the chain motor rpm to achieve the desired rate based on the 3 information sets entered
above.
