Spreader Control - Ag Leader EDGE User Manual

Note: For proper machine performance and accuracy, you should check the Product Density daily.
• Feed Gate Opening
Represents the Feed Gate opening for the conveyor. Measure the depth of product on the conveyor to
ensure accurate feed gate setting value.
• Conveyor Rate
This setting represents the volume of product dispensed by one revolution of the conveyor drive shaft (cubic
foot per revolution, or ft.3 /rev.) This number is shown with the assumption that the conveyor shaft has a 1-
inch gate opening. This conveyor rate remains constant, regardless of the height of the feed gate opening.
CAUTION: New products will have a default CFR number the first time they are used. You must either
manually enter or perform a CFR calibration routine for each product once that product is created, otherwise
misapplication will occur.

Spreader Control

Spreader Control Settings can be accessed by pressing the Spreader Control button, located at the
bottom active area of the Rate Screen.
Note: The Spread Width, Spinner Speed Product Density, Feed Gate 1 Opening and the Conveyor 1 Rate
are all stored with each combination of product and control channel.
Note: The spinner speed is controlled automatically based upon this setting when the system uses an
optional PWM spinner speed control valve.
• Static Calibration
Press the Static Calibration button to summon the Conveyor Rate Calibration Wizard, which will guide you
through the Spinner Spreader Conveyor Rate Calibration process.
• The Spread Width, Spinner Speed, Product Density, Feed
Gate 1 Opening and the Conveyor 1 Rate are all stored with each
combination of product and control channel.
• Product Density
This density value (shown in pounds per cubic foot, or lb./ft.3), is
stored with each product. Use the keypad to edit if needed.
• Spread Width
Use the numeric keypad to edit the value.
• Spinner Speed
The spinner speed required for accurate product placement in
relation to the spread width setting.
