2.2 Seeding sensors setting

This 

fi

 eld of display serves for se   ng the number of connected seeding sensors and their scanning sensi  vity.

2.2.1 Setting the number of seeding sensors

Pressing this key will allow to set the number of sensors connected to the control unit 
bus. This value is set by the manufacturer and is intended for service purposes only.

2.2.2 Setting the seed passage scanning sensitivity

The range of the sensor sensi  vity is from 1 to 255. The value depends on the size of the 
seed and the selected seeding dose. Se   ng the sensi  vity to 5 means that minimally 
5 pieces of seed must pass through the sensor within 1 second in order for the sensor 
to evaluate that the seeding is correct and “SOWS”. In case less than 5 pieces of seed 
passes through within 1 second, the sensor evaluates this as the seed is not passing 
through, i.e. “DOES NOT SOW”.

1.  For small seeds, such as poppy and rape, the recommended value is 3 to 12.
2.  For medium-sized seeds, such as wheat and barley, the recommended value is 30 to 

100.

3.  For large seeds, such as corn and bean, the recommended value is 10 to 30.
