CONTROL OF SEEDER SETTINGS CONTROL OF SEEDER SETTINGS STATISTICS OF 100 EXPECTED/SEEDED GRAINS TEST 2 sec. To reach this function push button for at least 2 seconds. TEST The appliance calculates the seeding time of 100 seeds on the basis of the given distance, the optimal seed spacing and current speed.

SEEDED GRAINS AND AREA COUNTS INFO The SEED MASTER Plus monitor continuously measures here (and in both seeding control mode) the seeded area and the number of total seeded grains. The area count controlled (start/stop) by signals of seed sensors. If seed sensors are not applied, the counting is continuously.

MAINTENANCE, STORAGE THE MONITOR INDICATES BLOCKAGE AT A SEED MODULE FOLLOWING TEST AND EVEN AFTER CLEANING Defected seed module. Troubleshooting: insert a long stick inside the seed sensor. If LED gets dark for a second: it works. If not: sensor is defected.
