    SEEDER MAT MCK 2500 SX 5.5 Programming the number of “paths” For greater clarity, consult the examples in paragraph 5.5.1 on MCK 2500 SX page 27 and 28. It is necessary to program the number of swaths the seeder performs, which correspond to the swaths of the sprayer that will be used;...

  • Page 26: Example For Programming The Number Of "Paths

    5.5.1 Example for programming the number of “paths” By properly programming the number of “paths”, 4 different types of functions for the MCK 2500 SX computer are available: If the working width of the sprayer is divided by the working width of the seeder, an uneven number is obtained (ex.
  • Page 27 SEEDER MAT MCK 2500 SX If the working width of the sprayer is divided by the working width of the seeder, an even number is obtained ( ex. 12 ÷ 3 = 4 ); by programming the number obtained (4), the computer will activate the row closing device only for the swaths after the central line.
  • Page 28 SEEDER MAT MCK 2500 SX If, on the other hand, through the division of the working width of the sprayer by the working width of the seeder, you get an even number (ex. 16 ÷ 4 = 4), and to start working with all the seeder completely entering from the right-hand side of the field, you must enter the parameter "no.
  • Page 29 SEEDER MAT MCK 2500 SX If, on the other hand, through the division of the working width of the sprayer by the working width of the seeder, you get an even number (ex. 16 ÷ 4 = 4), and to start working with all the seeder completely entering from the left-hand side of the field, you must enter the parameter "no.
  • Page 30 SEEDER MAT MCK 2500 SX If, instead, you intend using a 4 meter seeder and an 18 meter sprayer, regardless of the side from which the field will be entered, you must set the parameter "number of paths" = 18: with this particular programming, the computer will activate the closing devices in just two of the right rows of the seeder in passages no.
  • Page 31 SEEDER MAT MCK 2500 SX If, through the division of the working width of the sprayer by the working width of the seeder, you get 4 (e.g. 16: 4 = 4), but you want a greater track path for the sprayer compared to that of the seeder, you must program the parameter "no.

  • Page 34: Programming The Alarms Rpms, "Speed", "Mode", "Tramline", And "Disk" Constants, And Self-Acquisition Procedure

    “Tramline”, and “Disk” constants, and SELF-ACQUISITION procedure The MCK 2500 SX computer is capable of visualizing, on the display, the value of the rotations per minute (RPMs) of the turbine. It can also keep the rotations under control, and simultaneously control another secondary rotating part (distributor), as well as signal the operator when these rotating parts slow down excessively or if they stop working.

  • Page 35: S", "M", "T" , "D" Constants

    SEEDER MAT MCK 2500 SX 5.7 “S”, “M”, “t” , “d” constants Along with those already described in this paragraph, for a correct operation, the three constants, Speed, Mode, and Tramline (indicated by letters “S”, “M” e “t”) must also be set. The programming method remains the same: Press the key to confirm the data set, then move on to the next parameter.

  • Page 36: Self-Acquisition

    SEEDER MAT MCK 2500 SX By programming d=0 instead, the passage to one path to the next one occurs without the disc sensor intervention (the sensor can therefore be removed): during working operations, after pressing Start key, the passage occurs every time the advancing speed goes down to 0.0 km/h for over 15 seconds.

  • Page 37: Checking Speed Sensor Operation

    SEEDER MAT MCK 2500 SX = RPM distributor alarm = RPM turbine alarm NOTE: The self-acquisition procedure must only be carried out the first time the seeder is used. Afterwards, the computer keeps the rotation and alarm thresholds memorized, even if the battery is disconnected.

  • Page 40 SEEDER MAT MCK 2500 SX  Position the seeder at the beginning of the field, then lower the specific row tracer disk arm: it is NOT important that the lowered arm is exactly the one on which the special row tracer sensor is installed.
  • Page 41 SEEDER MAT MCK 2500 SX  During operation, when one of the “path” is reached which requires closing on right row, left rows or both, on the computer panel, the LED relevant to the rows that were closed will turn on, according to the following scheme:...
