Checks During Sowing - UNIA FENIX G Operating Manual

5. Weigh the seeds collected in the container(s).
6. Insert the weight of the seeds into the electronic console.
7. Repeat this step 3 times to get a precise calibration
Attention:
Detailed information in the controller manual.
Calibration in the version with a mechanical drive.
1. Make all the necessary settings for the control electronics. (see controller manual).
2. Set the seed wheel to the correct scale position. (see sowing chart).
3. Place the container for the seed
4. Turn the star wheel 14.6 revolutions/ar; 1460 revolutions/ha. (Fig. 10)
5. Weigh the seeds collected in the container(s).
6. Repeat the operation to make sure that the calibration is correct.
The data contained in the sowing chart should be treated as approximate due to the fact
that the seed of the same kind, but of a different variety, is not the same in terms of size
and weight.
In order to obtain the exact desired seed quantity per hectare, a calibration must be
performed each time.

3.3.2. Checks during sowing

The following checks should be carried out during sowing, after each sown hectare:
1. Ensure that the sowing units dispense seeds and they are not blocked.
2. Check that the air conduit set is properly attached both upstream and downstream the dispenser. The
hoses leading from the manifold to the coulters can't have any bends or horizontal sections.
3. Check correct connection of the turbine hydraulic conduits with the tractor distributor.
4. Check visually that no seed hose is clogged (especially in the version without flow sensors).
5. Ensure that the amount of seeds coming out of each sowing unit is identical.
6. Check the sowing depth manually across the entire width of the machine.
7. Ensure that the seed container tarpaulin is closed properly.
8. Clean the grille at the turbine inlet regularly in order to avoid clogging, as this could lead to
contamination of the seed lines.
