2.1.1 Setting the seeding dose for a given doser

Before carrying out the seeding test, it is necessary to set the seeding dose for a given 
doser. This is carried out in the 

fi

 rst screen, see the chapter 1.14.

2.1.2 Setting the number of metal rosette teeth for the doser speed scanning

This parameter is set by the drill manufacturer. Before star  ng the seeding test, it is 
necessary to check the number of teeth and in case the displayed value does not co-
rrespond with the number of the rose  e teeth of the given doser, it must be changed.

Carry out the change by pressing the gearwheel symbol 

 and entering the correct 

number of teeth a  er the se   ng dialogue is displayed. Con

fi

 rm the set value by means 

of the 

OK

 key. A  er this, the newly set value will be displayed under the gearwheel 

symbol.

2.1.3 Seeding test speed counter resetting

Pressing the 

 key will reset the speed counter. The value 000 will be displayed 

under the key.

2.1.4 Starting/stopping the seeding test

Pressing this key will start the motor of a given doser. The counter will start to count 

the doser speed. To stop the doser, press the 

key. The seed falling from the doser 

during the test must be caught into a suitable container or a bag. Allow the doser to 
rotate un  l the required amount of seed 

fi

 lls the container. A  er the test ends, weigh 

its weight and input the value according to the following table (

2.1.5

).

2.1.5 Entering the seed weight

A   er stopping the seeding test, it is necessary to enter the weight of the seed which has 

been dosed during the seeding test. To enter the weight, press the 

key and use 

the se   ngs dialogue to input the value. Con

fi

 rm the input by pressing the 

OK

 key and 

the new value will be displayed under the symbol of a scale.

2.1.6 Checking the correctness of the seeding test

To check the correctness of the seeding test, use the so called zonal regula  on diagram.

The aim is to get the black lines to the centre of the green zone. In case both black lines 
are not within the green zone in the middle of the diagram, the seeding test has been 
carried out incorrectly and it is necessary to repeat it. In case both black lines are within 
the green zone, the test has been carried out correctly and the doser regulation will 
proceed correctly within the whole range of the travel speed.

!

The maximal travel speed of the assembly must be taken into account. It 
must not be exceeded, otherwise the seed will be incorrectly dosed!

Use the same procedure for other dosers.
