4. When the pump's flow rate has been reached and seed is covering the proximity
sensors inside of the seed wheel, the air actuated 3-way valve will open and allow
liquid to pump up to the atomizer. A moment later (based on the settings in the
utilities screen), the seed wheel will turn on and the seed treating process will
begin.
5. As the seed is being treated. The main screen will display the pounds per minute,
the total pounds, and the liquid flow rate. If the system needs to be stopped for a
moment because of a problem. The PAUSE button can be pressed to halt the
process. When ready to begin again, the CONTINUE button is pressed.
6. When the seed wheel hopper is full the HOPPER FULL indicator light will come on
and the inlet conveyor will shut off. The flow of seed into the treater will begin
again once seed is no longer present at the top proximity sensor in the hopper and
the Inlet Conveyor Delay Restart time defined on the utilities has expired. This is
done to ensure that seed will not overfill the hopper and flow onto the ground.
7. When all seed passes through the seed wheel, the seed wheel will turn off and the
pump will switch to re-circulate. When more seed is fed into the treater, the treating
process will continue.
8. After all seed has been treated the inlet conveyor and the seed wheel will
shutdown automatically. The 3-way valve on the pump stand will switch to
re-circulate. However, the atomizer, drum and outlet conveyor will still be running.
Press the SHUTDOWN button at the bottom of the screen and the shutdown timer
appears and begins to count down the seconds left before complete shutdown.
The operator decides how much time is adequate for all product to clear the drum
and outlet conveyor. The time is entered on the utilities screen and can be
adjusted whenever necessary.
