Page 3: Splash Screen
Press 100% to quickly change to daytime brightness Press Esc to go the main operation screen, or wait 5 seconds and it will change automatically. Press and hold OK for 5 seconds to go to the configuration screen. SAM e-Spreader Controller P 3 of 23... -
Page 4: Configuration
When the floor is running, read the actual rpm of the floor Use the up/down arrows to set the “Max achievable conv. speed” to just above this. 20rpm is typical setting if the tractor is delivering >70lpm. SAM e-Spreader Controller P 4 of 23... - Page 5 The floor switch needs to be on for this to work. Setting the maximum achievable conveyor rpm will determine the maximum speed the operator can travel while spreading. Press ESC to go back to the splash screen. SAM e-Spreader Controller P 5 of 23...

Page 6: Main Operation Screen
This shows the status of the floor switch. The floor switch needs to be ON for the floor to move. Use the floor switch to turn the floor on and off when moving in and out of headlands or around obstacles. SAM e-Spreader Controller P 6 of 23... - Page 7 Shows the actual current rate on a scale of -10% to +10% of the required rate. When changing speeds or turning corners, this will go up and down. Red = off scale SAM e-Spreader Controller P 7 of 23...

Page 8: Quick Start - Get Spreading
If you are spreading too light or too heavy, work out the percentage difference and adjust the flow factor accordingly. DO NOT adjust the door height as this will not change the rate the spreader is trying to achieve. SAM e-Spreader Controller P 8 of 23... -
Page 9: Rate Control
Based on the required rate and ideal aim ratio Max Speed Theoretical max speed that you can travel before the floor cannot run any faster. Based on the max achievable floor speed in the configuration settings SAM e-Spreader Controller P 9 of 23... -
Page 10: Manual Calibration
Use the left/right keys to adjust how much product has actually been used over the area covered. Calibrated flow Calculates how much the flow adjust needs to be adjusted to achieve the adjust required rate. SAM e-Spreader Controller P 10 of 23... -
Page 11: Weight Calibration
Remember to stop on a level surface to get an accurate weight reading. When the tractor is stopped, the spreader will wait for a time to ensure the scales are settled before capturing the start weight and resetting the area covered hectare counter. SAM e-Spreader Controller P 11 of 23... -
Page 12: Step2
As you start spreading the green bar will show how far you have travelled in relation to this minimum distance. When you have travelled the minimum distance, the computer will prompt you to stop when you are ready. NOTE: you can keep going for longer if you wish. SAM e-Spreader Controller P 12 of 23... - Page 13 Target weight As the hectare counter increments, this is the theoretical amount of product that should have spread.

Page 19: Electric Spreading Door Settings
When the door reaches the end stop it captures the respective mV reading and uses a linear scale for max door height at ~5000mV, and minimum door height (= max door height – actuator stroke) at ~0mV. SAM e-Spreader Controller P 19 of 23... -

Displays the gross weight (= weight from dead zero) Weight stable Will turn green when the scales are stable (not moving) Load cell error Will turn red if there is a load cell error SAM e-Spreader Controller P 20 of 23... - Page 21 Normally these will be within a few thousand divisions of each other. If one of these is red, or more than 5000 divisions different to the others, then the load cell may be faulty. SAM e-Spreader Controller P 21 of 23...
